well, your probably getting sick of me and these questions, so ill try and make this my last post here for now. How much rough work do you do? Do you put a lot of detail into your rough working (such as the inbetweens and character features) or just make a realy rough model and make key poses to get a rough feeling of the movement, then inbetween when you are neatening the animation?
Did some Blockhead. Made a lil' Mastermind. Co-created Madness: Project Nexus. I love you so much!

I write the script and then record the dialogue. I then lay out the audio into the empty Flash file so that I've got a working, invisible cartoon that I can listen to and imagine the camera cuts, transitions, etc. Then I draw in background layouts, with character layouts in another layer as necessary. I follow with the actual character anchor keys first (the main poses), followed by FBF'ing the whole thing. Then I color after. I do sound effects and actual backgrounds, on top of the previous layouts, last.
you know, I just realized that fun scripts can come out of combining a stupid adjective and a idiotic pronoun. like...
Racist + vampires
Anorexic+ frogs
retarded+animal+babies
homosexual +monkeys.
I know, this is a stupid idea.. maybe im a bit drunk right now or something but hey you can animate them if you like i dunno
congrats on the monthly 5th mr swain :D
Once again thank you so much for adding my cartoon on your favorites it makes me so proud.(try to get it into the blockhead series collection!). Anyways this stuff looks great! I can't wait until it is animated! It looks so cruel seeing that vampire holding the dead baby upside down. Anyways keep up the good work. Your doing a great job man!
This seems to have been in the wrokshop fairly long. But i guess just long compared to work I do. I don't redraw every single character motion. I'm actually amazed at the rate you do make these cartoon! Wow!
Anyways though, any idea in perhaps a percent how far it's done? I read a few posts above were you dicussed your style of how you come to create your movies. Very lengthy process indeed. So sorry if i feel like i'm rushing you here.
And on the topic of dead babies: How do you fit 100 dead babies into a bowl? With a blender. How do you get them out of the bowl? Tostitos.
hey mike! Its been like 2 or so months since you left this news...

Lol racist vampires you are random
Great, Racist Vampires looks cool, and sarcastic.

I get it :3 And the skinny guy looks awesome. I love such (gothic-vampire) styles, you're quite an awesome artist! Racist as in, like only babies' blood? Only white people's blood? Only noseless upside-down bloody supposably white babies' blood? :f Anyways. When's the next Blockhead coming? Keep up the great work, Mike!!

One more thing - how smooth is your brush?
The-Swain
