i feel like ive stagnated as an artist over the last two years so i'm trying to do away with a lot of my old crutches, and change the way i do things in small but effective ways that make the characters seem more alive. one of those things is that after having done this for ten years the characters' chins FINALLY move when they talk instead of staying static. another is that i'm letting myself get a little sloppier with my lineart so that i can put more focus into adding more frames, make characters a little more dynamic... I'm going back to doing a Squigglevision-inspired line boil, this time using an After Effects preset so that I can just apply it universally to the entire cartoon all at once when i'm done. that i can afford to be a little looser with the lineart which lets me put more time into making the characters move around a little more. Like a less-nauseating Dr. Katz or Home Movies, but with characters that move around about as much as The Simpsons. That's what I'm going for
