Guess I might as well show off the stuff I've been doing digitally, and maybe the shitton of stuff i did traditionally if i can figure out how to get it on the computer. I tend to export things as transparent PNGs so apologies for that

First off is a bunch of portraits i did of random friends on facebook, based off pictures i found on their profiles. Good practice in trying to pin down the individual contours and features that make each person's head different


Second is some posing tests i did a while back. I'm really proud of the one on the top left


An animation test I did yesterday night of a guy picking something up

Some more posing tests, which i later turned into a step-by-step pic. I don't really like the final result but the concept is pretty slick imo


a sketch i did of Warden from Superjail, which i quickly slapped color onto afterwards.


And finally, a speedpainting test i did of a waterfall. Reference is here

Pizza Boomerang

This is the show i've been working on these past couple months. It has a preview first two episodes on sunday, and then it should fully air in the new year, sometime in 2012.

Don't be expecting it too soon though, we just had our deadline extended.

Edit: Preview changed to the 17th, tomorrow at Noon ET, 9 PT

So Atomic Cartoons, the makers of Atomic Betty and Johnny Test have a temporary position for me on monday and possibly other days as well provided i do well and they need the workers. My job includes importing and exporting files in harmony toon boom and passing them through after effects for a quicktime file.

I don't know either of these programs very well, in fact i have never touched toonboom at all. I'm gonna be looking up videos online to figure out how to do this stuff but does anyone know how to use toonboom? and possibly how to use it in conjunction with after effects?

This scares me.

Btw i know these are simple things that i could figure out with five minutes on the program but i'd like to be as prepared as possible. I actually never figured out how to export files in after effects without making them bloated as almighty fuck. 1 minute video became three point someodd gigabytes

As a way to mark the celebration of steam being introduced to Macs, steam is now offering portal for free!

click here to get it

if you don't believe me, maybe because you think its a scam, go search up portal on steam itself. you'll see it doesn't have a price and you're able to download right away, no surveys or anything.

Good ol steam, always loved ya

Doesn't know what germany is

So here's the story.

Once upon a time in the mystical land of the internet, there was a large province called Facebook. This facebook was a tolerant society. it admitted anyone who wanted to join, and let them speak freely of what they wanted.

Unfortunately, with great responsibility, comes great abuse.

There was once a self-hating emo kid with the name of Ethan Bones Richard Doucette. This kid wished to reach the fame of people like St Valentine, or Jesus. The people who started major holidays, even if they didn't exist (jesus). This person, appalled by all the hate, sexism, and discrimination that women go through daily, decided to create a holiday in the vast nation of Facebook called Women's day. the day where women get the respect they seemingly deserve. He decided the best way to do this was to post the event on a public forum, where he could show it to his friends, and tell them to tell their friends, hoping it would spread virally.

This is where the trouble starts.

You see, the only way something can spread virally is if many people are able to view it or participate in it. The mistake this kid made was what killed it in the first place. Through a varied list of rules and guidelines he had to wade through that the nation had set up, he accidentally set up his event as a closed event, meaning you could only join if you were invited, and you could only invite people if you were an admin. The obvious fix, apparently, was NOT to re-register the event with Facebook.

Instead, everyone who joined the event became an admin.

I joined the event initially to write on the wall a comment containing the subject of sandwiches.

7 hours later, at the time of 5:05 pm, i was an admin.

an hour later it was too late, i had already come home.

and then this sorta happened all by itself.


After that, i proceeded to send a message to everyone who wrote on the wall of the event concerning the exact contents of the comment they wrote on the wall.

Then i sent a message to the man who created the event, Mr. Douchette himself


Then, for a final blow to add to his pride related injury, i created an event called Men's Day.

And i sent him a message containing a link, and he made a major typo.


You may join the event here

I had fun doing this

so i've been hearing a bunch about this place from people and random others and i decide to join.

i am not impressed.
