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.

Brawl and Cartoons and other fun stuff!

Posted by Jimtopia - March 21st, 2008

ABOUT BRAWL (EDIT): I have added everyone who wanted to be added up to the first 15 comments.

So, for those of you who clicked here because you saw the word Brawl, my friend code is: 2320-5798-1378
Please leave a comment in this news post with your code if you intend to add me. Thanks.

Okay, so for those of you who like to actually read my cartoon production updates, here ya go. First let me start by saying that my newest cartoon, TV Rules the Nation, really needs some love. It didn't even get a daily award, which kind of pissed me off. I mean, when you work on something for 2 months and get 19 reviews and a little over 1200 views to show for it, you feel gypped. Whereas something like this which took me 3 days, gets daily 4th and almost the same number of reviews/votes, you can maybe understand why I'd be pissed. So please go rate/review TV Rules the Nation, I would really appreciate even just a little more feedback on that cartoon. And hey, if your friends like Daft Punk, show them the cartoon, I show my friends flash cartoons all the time.

Okay, so enough self advertising. Time to tell you about what's to come. Yes, it is a Jim cartoon, hopefully this doesn't anger/upset any of you; seeing as my last cartoon was such high quality, and I'm going back to a "Jim based cartoon." But let me just say this in my defense, I do not intend for it to be like this cartoon, or this one for that matter, I am going to treat this next Jim cartoon the same way I treated TV Rules the Nation. I'm actually going to use different camera angles, re-draw Jim multiple times (I'm sure), this cartoon is going to have voices! To put it simply, it's going to be epic, I'm going to make sure of it. So please, when I say that my next cartoon is a "Jim cartoon" don't think of it as one of my old ones where I used maybe 1 or 2 camera angles, think of it as something entirely new. After this one, I don't think you'll look at Jim the same way again.

Okay, so thanks for reading this far, and here's a screenshot for you all. But before you look at it, let me just say that this is still basically just concept art, and I am in no way done drawing this scene, I guess you could just call it filler; mainly I'm putting it here just so you guys have something to look at, lol.

good luck on your next Jim Cartoon

Jimtopia

Isn't Brawl coming out in April in Europe? At least, that's what I heard. Maybe that's MarioKart Wii.. whatever. I'm glad you can understand how I feel about TV Rules the Nation, I think a few people have experienced this when it comes to submitting.

im fairly good and connection is not THE BEST..
oh yeah, those are good ideas
im trying to get into flash myself but im making sure i know everything first

Jimtopia

I'll add you tomorrow, I'm currently at my friends house, on his computer. Also if you're taking up flash, make sure you learn a lot about it before you attempt anything major, it can be a real pain in the arse, lemme tell ya.

I hate working on a Flash for a long time and getting little to no response.

I have a 6-and-a-half-minute-long movie in the portal that I worked on for months. It has about 1500 views, and it hasn't been reviewed in almost a year. I'm guessing it's because it's a clock movie, but still -_-

Jimtopia

That's too bad, I never really had anything agains't the clock movies, but then again I've only been here for 2 years...

Glunnator

"So, for those of you who clicked here because you saw the word Brawl"...
Gah... ye caught me xD

...no brawl 'cos i'm in europe... garr... the torture..

Jimtopia

So many Europeans want this game it's almost crazy, lol, that's been about half the reviews on my "So...Brawl was Delayed..." flash.

OdHero

Your charachters look really dumb, you really need to update them now and make something fresh.

Jimtopia

Ummm what exactly about them looks dumb? Applying this to real life, you basically just said:

"You look dumb. Look better."

Not helpful at all. Please don't be an ass.

Good Luck with your project.

Jimtopia

I'll add you by the end of the day.
Also thanks.

Lalo

is it just me or all your characters have the same hair eyes body legs and hands?

Jimtopia

It's just you. They only have the same
-Bodies
-Legs
-Hands

Their hair and eyes are all different.

Quit whining. I know how you feel about working on it for a while and everything and then getting little response, but 1200 views is still a lot, if you think about it. Think about standing in an arena with 1200 people looking at you. Its a bunch of people.
Also, saying stuff like seeing as my last cartoon was such high quality just makes you look snobby. SNOBRIETY ON THE INTERNETZ!

Also, odHero's comment is helpful, because your jim characters, unlike you, are drawn, and can be redrawn. You cannot be redrawn, unless you happen to be a flash image.

If anything, you look more like an ass for being unable to take criticism.

picture looks cool.

Jimtopia

First off, I had a feeling that would sound snobby, but that's honestly not what I was trying to sound like. I just couldn't think of a better way of putting it. I understand that 1200 views is a lot, but compared to 20,000+ views on a couple other cartoons I have that's not up to par. That sounded snobby too. Whatever, I am not going to get that point across without sounding snobby I guess.

Second off, OdHero's comment didn't tell me any way I could improve them at all, it just told me that they "look dumb" and I should "make something fresh." That doesn't explain how to make them not look dumb. It just tells me that they do and they should be better. I could re-draw the characters entirely and they still may not be up to par because he didn't tell me how to improve them. I can take constructive criticism, but when it just blatantly says that it's bad and needs to be better, there's not much I can do about it.

Sorry if I sound like an ass, I don't mean too, I just think that criticism should be helpful, not... well, not mean. And OdHero's comment came off as mean.

Also Thanks.

MorrowDays

I've stopped worrying about individual project view count to focus more on the total viewcount of all my stuff, which is a better way to gage your popularity as an artist. I think its more important to see how you develop as an artist instead of how one submission did as opposed to a different one. If you really do want more people to see Television rules the nation, link it three times in your signature.

I presume you drew those jim characters when you started jim cartoons, and you've been using them ever since. So I think what odhero was getting at was that you've matured as an artist, and thus however you redraw them, you'll probably be able to make them a bit better. I kind of like them how they are, but some arms might be nice, and the red to black gradient isnt my favorite, so if you are going to redo them, think about those things, but mostly arms ^_^

and yeah, his comment was mean. there's a quote about criticism I really like, its something like "criticism leads to misunderstanding and defeatism"

Jimtopia

Well I appreciate the helpful criticism MorrowDays. I wouldn't be surprised if I did re-draw Jim at one point here in the near future to make him look better. Also I suppose focusing on my body of work as a whole would be important. Anyway, thanks for the support; I appreciate it.
