    Guys do you rememebr when I thought I could get a logo design at 60$ and I got booed? Well, I bought my own drawing pad and downloaded a couple of software and I think I did it !! (I got steady hands, its just that I never tried myself on digital art)

    But now I got ambitious; if this logo is a part of a youtube clip, I want it to have some animation; where do I start? I'm talking guides and software.

    (The logo is a rattle snake wearing a shmak -the saudi head gear with the red dots and the black tire like holder- I want the name of the show to hit its head and it would wiggle for a bit while it fades out)

    fyi fat =/= ugly
    and there is a great deal of beauty in imperfection
    poor hadoken, doomed to feel like he is being cheated out of something that is his own fault

    t wakka: in your ophelia drawing (don't know what else to call it - the maiden in the forest) the hand looks off; i think it might be due to the angle the nails are presented in
    also i love your frog-princess drawing. i hope you do all the princesses. that being said; you should draw nala as a princess or something - you know, pull in that furry audience you're missing out on!

    I live in Australia, half our chicks are fat (we are statistically the fattest country with 48% of people overwieght, therefore we are the ugliest.) and comparing them to your drawings is making me sad D:.

    That being said though, holy shit aladdingirl!

    You forgot "fat." It's an entire country of ugly, fat people. Except for Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue.

    Congrats to all on their job situations!

    ...Now if this interview process of mine didn't take so long, maybe I would have good news too.

    I guess the upside is that there are a shit-ton of webdesign jobs in the area. So if this one does not work out, I think I could find something (just much less cushy).

    So they could have made this movie live-action, which meant it would have lost a lot of the charm of the character designs. So they went with 3D

    But then made the 3D as weirdly life-like as possible (to the point where I couldn't tell it wasn't real until 0:37), and made the people into some deformed facsimiles of the comic characters.

    I don't...

    Just make it a fucking cartoon!

    I dont really understand why the 3D world hasn't caught up to what classic animators knew, which is you can make really rich backgrounds and put flat characters on them. That movie would look fine if it was everything thats going on with cartoon characters in it.

    I like that new Gumball show on Cartoon Network. They like to mix and match flat characters/3D characters/3D backgrounds. It looks really good.

    From just the trailer, I have no problem with Tintin... That last shot is a little weird but I also think it would be weird if they did it live action and (possibly) with animation. I think it looks that way because they are emulating how a lens would distort the image and, as such, his face.

    I just think they make movies similar to others that have shown commercial success. I don't think they even care about better. So it will be THREEDEEEE 3D for a while.

    I love how everything is now 3D and HD. Colgate 3D white! HD Sunglasses!!! Its products like these that make me ashamed of my job....

    Edit:
    My co-worker hates the new art director. She hated him before she saw him because shes upset that she didnt get the position of Art Director.... a job she is horribly under-qualified for. This is the same girl that sends her files to print as RGB, forgets to set up the bleed and doesnt understand what printers spreads are. The same girl who asks me to isolate elements for her because she doesnt know how to use the pen tool. This is the same girl that builds dummies, they come out wrong but she sends them to print anyway then screams at the press guys for printing it wrong.

    Im getting really sick of her making everyone seem incompetent when she has 8 years of experience but the skills of an intern.

    You should show her one of your projects that you're going to send to the printer. Then say "This is how it's done, bitchy brains! Learn from the master! If I wasn't married I'd stuff my balls in your mouth with some soap so that you could serve the one purpose you might be good at you stupid little scrotum chugger!"

    I mean, what could go wrong?
