Well, first things first - I got a tablet! Goodbye mouse drawing! For years my characters have all been built in pretty much the same way. I'd make an outline with the line tool, turn the thickness to 5 or so, bend the lines to get some nice curves, and use the same process to make the shading. The problem was this all looked really static and lifeless. As Oney said of my "Fallout 3 Flash: "The drawing style was so lifeless I almost cried :(" Maybe not the most constructive remark, but it applies well enough. I really needed to do something to liven up my art style, and make my characters MOVE. Just watching stuff by Yotam Perel and Egoraptor really makes me frustrated at the static characters I've been using for years. So, to remedy this, I finally broke down and got a tablet. Goddamn I namedrop a lot in that paragraph.

I'm still just learning to use my tablet, since I've only had it a few days. So far it's great fun though - I've done some fun doodles with it that you can see on my deviantART page. There's an SRM walking loop down there if you want to check it out. It kinda sucks, but hey, I'm learning here.

SRM TRANSFORMERS 5. Yeah, I started working on it. I've had it written for a while, and I animated the first 60 seconds or so of it. I have the story planned out to SRM Transformers 6, where the series would end. The thing is, I'm really dissatisfied with the SRM Transformers 5 script. It's way too wordy. Watching a few robots stand around in the desert talking back and forth for over a minute just isn't interesting. Every moment doesn't have to be a fight scene or anything, it's just way too much dialogue and exposition. For this reason I might either scrap SRMTF5 as it is, or combine it with the plans for SRMTF6 and get the whole thing out of the way all at once. My enthusiasm for SRM Transformers has waned a bit, I don't lie. Thanks for canceling Transformers: Animated, Cartoon Network >:(

As for regular SRM toons: I've wanted to make SRM Goes to College for a really long time. I might make it into my final for my writing for animation class. That means you fine folks could see it by Christmas, as long as I finish it. I also have a holiday short written for Qwanzaamas, Christmas, or whatever other winter-time holiday I want.

I also wrote and storyboarded an awesome animation involving a baby with a tommygun and a doctor's office. You can see some of the character art in that thing from DeviantART I posted a few paragraphs up. That might happen somewhere down the road - It's probably too complicated for me to make at the moment. Maybe as my final for one of the animation classes down the road or something. On that note, school is taking up a hell of a lot of time. The rest of my time is me being lazy and hanging out on Somethingawful. I also wrote a sequel for Milk and OJ but decided against it. It wasn't that great, and I really don't need to make a sequel to it. Tells a good enough story on it's own.

PS: 3D can suck it. I loathe it with a burning passion. If my school didn't require me to work in it, I'd never touch it again. I'm not even extra terrible at it. I just really, really don't enjoy working in it. Too dee fo' lyfe y'all.

Now watch that SRM walk cycle of poor quality until your eyes bleed. Shouldn't take very long.
