I don't tell you how to tell me what to do, so don't tell me how to do what you tell me to do.

You clicked here? Oh well, you asked for it...

I have run into a sort of dilemma regarding the sequel to "TV Rules the Nation" (now officially titled "I Am the Brainwasher"). I didn't realize when I started it, but seeing as I'm using Celarents style that he used for Future, my cartoon is going to be compared to his, and my cartoon isn't as good. To be honest I'm just worried that it will be horribly under appreciated just because it isn't as good. I didn't have this concern with TV Rules the Nation, because it was just different enough to be my own, but this one looks a lot like Celarents, and I mean a lot. I am putting a lot of work into I Am the Brainwasher, and I guess I'm just hoping that NG doesn't vote it badly because it's not as good as Celarents absolute perfection. *drools*

Also, if you're curious how far "I Am the Brainwasher" is, I'm about 2 minutes in. So 20% done.

In the world of college/personal life...

College is going pretty well, all my classes are going kind of slowly though, considering 90% of the class didn't even know what Flash was; so we have to start on Step 0 with Flash, and it's killing me. Our assignments require that you animate at 12 FPS, on a 700x350 stage, and it can only be 5-8 seconds long. We're not even allowed to use movie clips or tweening yet! Our first assignment was that we had to make a cartoon about Autumn with the above requirements. Here's what I came up with (it wuz rilly h4rd 2 do!). Classes aren't terrible though, other than our sucky restrictions, it's actually pretty fun. We do a lot of drawing and movie-watching.

Okay, enough talking about real life stuff. This isn't myspace after all.

In other cartoon related news...

I am now announcing another cartoon I have in the works entitled: Fizz... something or other... I haven't really thought through the title yet, but if any of you remember the terrible cartoon Fizz that I submitted way back in '06, I'm basically taking the character, making him have a body, arms, hands, eyes, legs, pants, shoes... you get the idea. Anyway, I'm redesigining him, getting him a voice actor, and putting him in a superhero role! It's going to be sweet! I've only got about a minute left to animate on it, but considering I'm also working on I Am the Brainwasher, it still is going to be awhile before it comes out.

Thanks for reading,
Jimtopia

Well jim I got a mac and it lets me change the thickness , but i tend have other problems with mine like some times filling won't work so I'd say re-download the drivers.

Yup, will do.

I've been brainwashed!

Well, as you know I AM the brainwasher.

Huzzah, college! Although animating at 12 frames will be pretty weird haven't used 12fps since I first started animating. Although you leaf thing was pretty well done and I am looking forward to being Brain Washed!

I'm looking forward to Brainwashing people. Lots of dirty minds around here that need a good scrub.

Heh heh, sadly thats what any type of program based classes will be like xD Especially if you've been working with it for a few years! Good to see you're on the top of your game , though. :D I can't wait to see Fizz! ;D

Also, I got my g/f the same kind of tablet. Before she had said that Norton antivirus removed the drivers or somthing like that, so you may want to download 'em again like everyone said
