i actually quite like tim frommeyer his style is something different and even though his proportions kind of suck balls at least he knows how to animate

He's ok, he's German like me which really bugs me because he's so successful and I am not.

His style is a typical German ringbook drawing style, 80% of the German kids in school use that style.

not worth paying attention to

Post by: rtil on January 1, 2008 08:28 PM
he really needs to learn proportions and perspective and apply it to his style a little more. people will often say 'that doesn't need to apply in the cartoon world', but i look at his characters while they are being animated and they change shapes and sizes a lot. i also wish for once he would tell a coherent story instead of making faux acid trip cartoons like LSD, but then again he's one of the few that does make cartoons like that. his life, not mine anyway. apparently he's totally messed up so that's probably why he makes them. he always talks about how horrible his life is on his NG news thing

Title: quick question
Post by: rtil on January 1, 2008 08:58 PM
well a long time ago his house burned down and he lost everything. ever since then i think things have been pretty hard for him. i doubt that's the source of all his problems though

Title: quick question
Post by: rtil on January 2, 2008 12:47 AM
well tbh i don't think kingdavid knew about that. the guy has enough personal issues as it is and the fact he still has the motivation to animate these days is incredible. plus he did that cell phone commission
Title: quick question
Post by: KingDavid on January 2, 2008 01:14 AM
okay then my intentions for this topic was not to bash him at alll .. i just wanted to see if people shared the same opinions about him as i did ? i think he is an allright artist and as rtil pointd out that he does acutally animate (more then i can say) is gr8. his work is very unique - we don't have to talk about his house burning down if you don't want to all i ment for this topic was to discuss the author's work

I've only seen a few flashes by him but his work seems pretty different. His Bytezise submissions are a bit messed up though. I wonder why he at one point deleted all of his NG blog entries.

Post by: Sinitron on January 2, 2008 11:47 AM
i think psi is an unfunny faggot who is shit at everything he does because "he used to be a tweener )-:" ie he is a shitty artist like the rest of the CC and the LL

maybe it struck him that "wooooooah im a whining little faggot; nobody on the internet CARES about my troubles in real life!!" or something

my only trouble irl is this NEW FUCKING MOUSE WHICH IS REALLY FUCKING FANCY AND ANNOYING TO USE BECAUSE OF THE FUCKING BUTTONS ON THE SIDE WHICH ARE MEANT TO BE USED WITH VARIOUS BROWSERS BUT I END UP SQUEEZING THE MOUSE AND ACTIVATING THEM AND IT'S ALL LIKE DHHGSJKDHGSHJDGHJ FUCKKERRRRRR

also it's designed for right-handed people because logitech hates lefties

ps this is now the official backalley "lets talk dirt about other artists that we percieve to be shittier than ourselves" thread

I believe that sinister is a huge faggot who might be a "good artist" on the internet but in the real artists world sucks major dick. He keeps saying "oh god this is so fucking gay" to his own artwork to make other people say "no it's actually good" which always works. He think he's really badass because he bashes other people without a reason (makes him super duper) and because he's in the Norwegian airforce.

that's actually one of the animations by him i really liked

the other ones are pretty good too and some of them r shit but i liked that one a lot

i've loved his work for years but honestly his taste in humor is kinda blegh

i do agree with rtil, he'd be even better if his stuff was more proportional

i will admit he is 40 times better than i am but that doesn't mean that he can't get better himself

Post by: MRat on January 4, 2008 01:49 AM
I chat with Tim alot, and I actually met him not too long before his house burned down. like a month before. i lived about 40 minutes away, and i was going to a concert near him anyway, so we met and drank a bit. at the time, i wouldnt have said he was fucked up per se, but he was depressed alot and smoked alot of weed, hah. ALOT of weed.

as for his story telling, well i personally enjoy incoherence a whole lot. i mean like just as much as coherent stuff. and i don't always enjoy his work. his style is awsome, but HE NEEDS TO LEARN THAT LEGS AREN'T MADE OUT OF PAPER!

the big thing he does that bugs me is he reuses stuff from his previous work over and over again. it makes me sad.


now he is more fucked up than he was before, he losts thousands and thousands of dollars when his house burned, and apparently the insurance wasn't so great. he doesnt have a wife either. he's "engaged" but its more symbolic. i dont think he's even gotten her a ring yet. well he cant afford one really. he's only 18.



anyway he's a good guy, i like his style and he actually does do shit from time to time, so good on him. i dont like his emo posts though.


these are my thoughts.

18 is so young to get married

i hope they wait
Title: quick question
Post by: MRat on January 4, 2008 10:37 AM
as do i. i fear things wont play out well if the marry soon. young marriages are economically tough, and tend to cause rifts because it limits what you can do with your time. and a young age is when you should explore your freedoms and laern your boundries and limits. wisdom is built of pushing your limits and learning from your mistakes. so says i.
