Cartooning

Posted by uglyman on Jan. 19, 2007, 5:27 p.m.

I enjoy cartooning. Or to be more specific, trying to cartoon. [:P] Most of the game ideas I have in my "Brain Bank" come from a drawing I made or such.

Probably the hardest thing about cartooning is the hands. They take freakin' way too long to perfect. Drat those cartoon hands! I am a moderatly good head and body cartoonist but I completly suck at drawing hands. I spent about 2 hours yesterday trying to get a thumbs-up hand to look half-decent and it makes me want to just give up the whole thing entirely.

I get a lot of inspiration for my comic people and stories from Bill Watterson. I love his "Calvin and Hobbes" books and often copy his style of work. The peanuts comics are equally good for coming up with a gag or story. I had a webcomic started untill my computer crashed 2 years ago and I couldn't recover my images. [:(]

I wish my scanner was working 'cuz then I could show you my concept drawings of characters and such…

Sweet drawings! I'm still at the "get the fingers to look proportioned right" stage. [:P]

You want the link?

My avatar is not a worm, it was originally a lizzard, until a certain someone *cough* started calling it a worm. My avatar on GMG is an amphibian, not a worm.

My username is tomatoeworm because, well, http://gamemakergames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26985
