Posted by Comick - March 23rd, 2008


I haven't updated this journal in ages :O So I thought I'd change that now with some wonderful news (for me at least ;P ). Only two days ago, I received a letter of acceptance into The California College of Arts, MFA Masters program! :D This is huge news for me because now it means I will be moving to San Francisco and pursuing my career to be a storyboard animator and illustrationist! ^_^ and I'm given a studio space that's part of a huge warehouse sized building! I normally paint in a crammed dark garage. So this is a huge leap from what I'm used to. I'm so excited and I start this Fall (September). Check out my paintings and drawings at http://comickpro.deviantart.com/

On the cartoon front, I'm still finishing Trash and Clash episode 2. It's been a labor of love and sweat to see this cartoon finished as it has no fans or views what-so-ever XP. But that's okay, because it's at least 10x times better than episode one (which has a WHOPPING eight favs on this site) *shrugs*. But that doesn't matter, because I love these guys with a passion and if they even get just one fav then I'm happy to know someone out there at least likes my characters ^_^ Besides, episode 1 is too slow, drawn bad, and lacks voices. Episode 2 is loaded with fbf animation, thanks to a new tablet, and the frame-rate was upped, and it has wonderful VA's who give so much more life to my two little rejects! I'm not sure if anyone can relate, but there's something really magical about seeing your characters move and act and talk. It gives me such a thrill when I push play and see hours of work come together and see this. It's the main reason I slave away at all those drawings day after day. If you don't have a passion for what you are making you are wasting your time.

Now, that being said. I DO take breaks from my toon in the only ways I know...by drawing and doing other cartoons that feed my rabid video game fandom. That fandom is for a little blue dude called Sonic the hedgehog. When I started my fan cartoon Sonic Switch, I had no idea what reaction it might have because, honestly, I did a cartoon that takes my morbid sensibilities and applied it to a character whose world and setting tends to keep away from that. Sonic Switch is a cartoon for myself. And as selfish as that may seem, I think it's the only way to go with a character whose fanbase is as large and varied as his. When it was first submitted here the reviews were 50/50 of love and hate for it premise and style, which I expected since I knew it needed some work. But as it's gone on, the rate and favs increased dramatically beyond anything I ever imagined. And it shocked me because: 1. It's a "fan" cartoon (typically looked down apon), 2. it's a dark/comedy-semi serious and 3. I'm staying the hell away from DBZ-style storytelling and working more on character development then action scenes. All these factors were taken into consideration and I guessed, "oh well, if it gets a 3.0 then I'm happy" but no, this cartoon surpassed my ideas of just how many people watch Sonic here. So for the record, I love drawing my Sonic cartoons and parodies in general but don't expect me to work on them full-time. They are not my top priority work. I'm just indulging on my hobby a bit ^_^ (And looking at my flash gallery it looks like all Sonic stuff. This was not my intention when I started this account.)

So it's just a matter of keeping my rabid fandom in check with my personal cartoons and work. And thank you everyone who favs and comments my cartoons! I appreciate it so much!! And stayed tuned for more soon.

Someguy19

Thanks! ^_^
ps. -I know what you mean XD

Nice.. I've been waiting for episode two. Is it going to be as hilariously dark humored as the first?

Yup :D Maybe even more.

Hey! Great little skit in the new sonic Collab XD And I can't wait to see Trash and Clash 2 and the next sonic switch! I loved being in the first Sonic Switch and really can't wait to see trash and clash be brought further to life :D

Also, congrats on the CCA! ^_^ Total big time stuff, there.

Thanks Rabids! Cartoons are coming along slow but steady X3 Trash and Clash are next on the list for completion. A trailer may come in the next months too.

hey! I wanted to ask u if the music when i found tail's doll at sonic shorts 2 was from silent hill, was it? btw nice cartoons u got there!!

You guessed right! I loved Silent Hill for the original Playstation :) Its still my favorite one. And thanks ^_^

yeah silent hill rulez im a huge fun of s-h games they are so deep and... scary!! :P

yes ive seen sonics switch 1a and i was quite satisfied with it i can wait for the next 1 to come out quick question can you make a trailer for the next episode? i would appreciate it

There is a trailer, but I don't advertise it around. You can find it pretty easy though if you search for it. But don't expect it soon, it's on hold untill I finish Trash and Clash 2.

U r my favorite animator! Lol! Ur my idol! I want to animate just like u! But i dont think i draw very well. at least i dont think so. i Draw on a tablet. if ur intrested ill send ya my deviant art page. pleaSe respond.

Just keep drawing! Practice is the key. Start with the basics and then build up from there and don't worry if it's not good yet, everyone has to start somewhere, and if you keep drawing it WILL get better in time. :)

LOL I LOVE the part in Sonic Shorts Volume 3 when the windows error screen appears!

Glad someone found it funny! :D Comedy is such a 50/50 thing with people. :/
