A Very Super Duper Special Halloween Super Special

OMG! I drew something other than work and book stuff! Drawn on tiny post it, jpg is twice the original size. Actually, probably the only drawing made since August that wasn't for a deadline, book project, or wedding stuff. I need to make a new film so I can draw some new characters, instead of milking one dimensional Tricky and Gorf. OH! "Love Shine" recently got tagged by Sony on youtube. They haven't deleted yet, but they did stick an ad/direct link to iTunes/Amazon for buying the mp3. Which I'm perfectly fine with and encourage. Next couple of cartoons I make will hopefully have original music. In the meantime, the film is also still up on Vimeo.

So.....a couple of good friends are getting married on Halloween! Costumes, candy, cake, videogames, dancing, friends, it's going to be heaven, on Halloween! X3 I made artwork for their invites, but no posting here, because it is special and gothy!
In the meantime, here's some fanart from friends since I have nothing to show! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!


FANARTZ from NON FLOUNDERZ!!!
These are by a nice fellow on deviantart calling himself Meowtwo. Here's his cool artsy stuff http://meowtwo.deviantart.com



This was made by my friend Valerie, who is now married, to friend Roger. She will probably be mad at me now, but I don't think she ever comes here so she won't know anyway. She also needs to update her blog, but since she is an insane boarding/dictator/wife person, she has less time than I do. Look at her few cute stuffs at kia9000.blogspot.com

I want to live here
This song has been on repeat this entire month. GIANT APPLE!! I think I drew them, don't remember. Poop. I'll be back around Christmas, if anyone still hangs around here, on the invisible monkey bars. Back to work. Bye.

Ponehs

Here are some ponies I drew back in 2006 for whatever reason. It is hard to make them not look like Miss Piggy. :(

I had baby Glory. She was stolen when I brought her to school in the 1st grade. At the time she was my favorite pony, and I found out later that my college friends also have stories about how they lost the same pony too. One lost her in a fire, and one was given away without her consent. Glory is a fated pony.

Yay Spike!

I did these yesterday, looking at the old drawings made me want to make more. Sorry the digital one is really weird.

I still have Applejack, Firefly, and Spike. They are hanging out in my bedroom/office/pit of mess.


Found some really awesome videos in the past month! Youtube is being weird and not letting me make a playlist, so here they are separately. Maybe I can fix it later.
The first one is really cool, but my friends think it is really annoying. It's from beatmania IIDX, a rhythm game that you play with your hands. They usually have music videos that play during the level, though they usually aren't fully animated like this. The animation on this is just really well done, the delayed eye blink, the squishy stylized tutus, gahhhh!!!

This is a music video by the band SOUR. They got their fans from around the world to help make it. The song is beautiful, and it's pretty dumbfounding how this was edited together. Check out the rest of the videos on this person's youtube page. They made other equally inspiring videos for SOUR. Like this one. Also this one too!
SOUR '日々の音色 (Hibi no neiro)'

This video uses the tilt-shift technique. Everything in this video is real, no models were used. The edges of the lens is blurred to make objects appear smaller than they are. This song is also really good!
Tilt-Shift: Bathtub IV: Clementine - Washington

Here is the Smooch video one last time. It's so popular, fans are animating on top of it with their favorite characters. Here is the Dissidia version. Hee.

Thanks for all the recent birthday wishes! It was a super fun day, had a burger and some chocolate shake with beer in it at a haunted restaurant, then went and saw early experimental Jim Henson films! Jim Henson was crazy. Crazy good!

The Go! Team

Been really grumpy lately, but Mr.Battle sent me a video so now I am better. Here is what he sent!

Yay! It's The Go! Team
I got to see them in concert at the Echoplex in LA last October. They are REALLY GOOD live! I like how the little fruit and tree people evolve from pixel to faux cut out paper. They are like Pokemon. Or something. This video apparantly has something to do with Cartoon Network, but I am too tired to investigate.



Not good with caricatures. poop. Apologies to any musicians, never drawn guitars and drums before.
