Title: Whoa man
Post by: R. Wappin on September 27, 2012 11:22 PM
I haven't been here since the days of trolling Newgrounds with weird collabs. What's goin on folks? Are most of you still animators? Anyone trying to make it professionally now?

weird i saw a hilarious post by you a few days ago and wondered where you ran off to. even though i still watch you on dA and fb. but welcome back! you may or may not know but i worked on (and hopefully working on future content for)  skullgirls and am currently part of a visual novel dev team. other than that i mostly do a lot of web design and video work - that stuff really pays the bills, but i get to work from home so it's been awesome.

i know you worked on that family movie, i saw the animation for it it was great. but i didn't see the movie.. i don't think i would enjoy it no offense.

Haha, that's okay, you probably wouldn't enjoy it that much. A lot of my friends were excited to see it but I had to let them know that the target audience is pretty much 10 year old girls. It was fun to work on though.

Since I graduated over 2 years ago I've been working on a ton of different things but none of it has been as fun or rewarding as when I could just do whatever I wanted. (But that's life I guess.) I only just recently moved out of the house and got an aparment in Chicago. Lately I've been working on a weird animation for Doritos and with a start-up company that makes e-learning courses. This year has been really rough so far but I feel like now everything is coming to fruitition. Maybe soon I'll have the time and money to work on my own projects again.

I did know you worked on Skullgirls! It looks amazing and I would have bought it just for the art, but sadly I don't have an X-Box.  ;_;

Nope it's a completely different guy. That place I did the cereal stuff for is really hard to get work from now because they changed a lot of their stuff to CG, so they're overstaffed with 2D animators.

that's too bad about the cereal ads. they were the last bastion of 2d animation on tv commercials. ;_;

although i did see a 2d animated commercial about not texting and driving recently. i can't find it on youtube though

I also used to watch you when I still went to art websites, you were kind of a cool guy. Hello again I'm someone you probably don't remember and doesn't say a lot.
