Superjail Nongood Fanart

I have only seen one episode of Superjail a very good while back, but I really liked what I saw. So, Monday, when I was bored after eating breakfast, I started doodling a little piece of fanart without remembering exactly how the characters were supposed to look. I think I got pretty close, for someone who has only seen one episode a number of weeks back. What do you, the viewer at home, think?

Sketches

My school is currently being 50 p'toots, so for now I'm going to put these sketches ALL UP ONZ HURR, okay? ENJOY.

Artists That I Favorite

Pen Ward - I've been obsessed with this guy's art since I saw "Adventure Time!" There isn't really anything for me to look at, other than the Adventure Time short, itself, and what I see on his site and production blog, but it's still soooooo good. This is the guy whose art I'm currently obsessed with.
Scott Campbell - This is one of my all-time favorites. His art is actually kind of similar to Pen Ward's, now that I think of it, but it's so awesome, with his silly sense of surreal visual humor. Plus, PSYCHONAUTS. C'MON.C.H. Greenblatt - He worked on Spongebob, Billy & Mandy, and created Chowder. Need I say more?Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken, and Rob Renzetti - I put these guys together, because they're basically inseparable. They all worked on Dexter's Lab together, then went on to all work on Powerpuff Girls, and so on. They all always seem to help each other out on each other's projects. Another reason for putting them together is that they all have a pretty similar style, based off of old Hannah Barbera and such. Plus, they all have mad BGing skills.














John K. - This guy's art is always something good to look at, especially if you need guidance in how to do traditional cartoons. If anybody cares, I'll go ahead and say that it's a VERY good idea to learn basics of drawing before just going in and making silly simplistic stuff like the last two guys I named. You need to LEARN rules before you try to BREAK them.Dr. Seuss - As you can see, I have a crush on surrealist cartoonists/illustrators. But there's no denying that he certainly was good. A lot of people won't give him a second look, being that he's best known as a children's author. Those people deserve to be poked in a very annoying manner. Seriously, if you catch one of those fuckers, give a bunch of oddly timed jabs in the liver. That'll teach 'em.Jhonen Vasquez - As much as I hate to admit him as an influence (what with the whole "goth" crowd drooling over him), but his style is too prevalent in my own stuff for me to even TRY leaving him out. The guy practically taught me to draw. And he IS good. I know that it's hard to say, since he's one of the big "spooky" crowd idols, but if you actually try looking at his work, you should be able to at least SLIGHTLY appreciate it. Go on. I won't tell anybody.
Matt Wilson - The last on the list, and also another one that I hate putting up here. I love his animation. I hate that Bonus Stage was so far ingrained into me that the first few animations I did were basically rip-offs, even though I had a story already set up to base it off of! But still, if it wasn't for this guy, I probably would never have gotten past the nasty uber-detail of my attempts at Jhonen-style stuff. I learned to simplify drawings to make them easier to animate. Also, I would never have even thought of pursuing animation as a career, if not for this guy. I would never have gotten into researching all sorts of cartoonists, and would probably have been doomed to trying to copy one or two styles all my life. WHAT FUN.

Job-a the Hunt

If you don't already know, generic, possibly non-existent reader, I lost my job at Cinemark last Saturday, and on top of that, my laptop blue screened me the following Monday, which reformatting did not fix. I'm currently job searching, as I've found that joblessness doesn't earn enough money to pay for laptop fixing. It also does not pay for gas or food.

So, once I get a job, here's a list of things I want to somehow get/accomplish:

First things first, I need to find out how much it would cost to fix my laptop. If it is quite expensive, I might just sell it for what it's worth, and start scraping money together to get a new computer (maybe one of those nice tablet pcs I keep telling myself I'll eventually get)

Once that's done, I need to redownload whatever I lost in the crash (music, programs, etc.). Thanks to me never having saved up the money to get a bass guitar (not without my Blazer messing up and making me spend most of the earned dough), I've been having the music-making itch for quite a while, so I might make do with FL Studio until I'm able to purchase said instrument. I've been thinking of maybe trying a Rick Johnson Rock and Roll Machine type thing where I basically think up whatever, make it into a song, and do it all on computer, maybe even recording lyrics on a mic (That's right, you might have to suffer my sad attempts at singing).

I also want to get back to animating, so that I could eventually have enough material to have a demo reel to shop around. If I do end up getting a tablet pc instead of fixing my laptop, this would be far more likely. Since I'm as lazy as I am, I'm thinking I could do one of two things for that: Either make really short "one gag" ultrashorttoons or I could do somewhat longer semi-episodic, but less frame-by-frame animation'd things (kinda like Nite Fite).

I'd also like to, at some point, buy a digital camcorder and do some live-action shorts. But this would definitely not happen until I have at least most of the other things above either accomplished, or completely given up on.

I can't really think of anything else at the moment, so I think I'll make a simpler, chronological list for my own sake:


1. Get New Job

2. Fix Laptop/Sell Laptop and Buy Tablet PC

3. Download Lost Files and Programs

4. Try ONCE AGAIN To Make Music With FL Studio

5. Buy Bass Guitar

6. New Animation

7. Live-Action Short Films

Gooooooooooooooooooooal (lem)

part deuce

Goo Lame

First of a couple of drawings for good ol Golem. This is of the compass dude.

Thoughts?

It's become apparent to me that I have some sort of lack of initiative. I never want to do anything but just surf the internet, watch movies, and generally be lazy. I don't know if it could be a mental problem, but it seems to have gotten worse lately.

Hm.

It seems that I am just too lazy to think up a hilarious new idea and comic-ize it every day, so maybe I'll just do it once a week. Sounds like a plan that will slowly slide into not doing anything yet AGAIN. Enjoy while you can.

Another One

Trying to do one of these every weekday for a while. Build back my tableting skills. This one has slightly more effort! But not enough to try to make straight lines. Just call me Mr. Geissel.

lack of consistency

I WAS

too lazy to make an actual post today. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Weekends Are Harder To Get Posts From

Monday monday monday.

I was all set to skip my last class so that I could go to work today, but as I was leaving the door, I got a call from said job, and apparently they didn't want me to waste my gas to come in because it was really slow. I ended up skipping anyway. I feel pretty good about it, but I might end up regretting it later, maybe. Who knows!(?)

I'm trying to think of something to do right now, and I can't. I guess I'm gonna go to dinner, then come back and probably just POST SOME MORE on the message boards I visit.

I am a sad, lonely person.

JUST POSTED

So I ended up buying Southland Tales (which I'm amazed I didn't know was out yet) and I Am Legend 2 disc edition. I've already seen I Am Legend in theaters, so I popped in Southland Tales last night, fell asleep watching it (on purpose), and finished it up this morning. It's extremely great. I demand that all of you alien cultures thousands of years from now who WORSHIP ME dig up this movie, and watch it.

It's the second movie by Donnie Darko man Richard Kelly, and it definitely has his style to it, but it's so different. It's not all "Oh I am an angry goth kid in the 80's", but is instead, a pretty confusing (in a good way) sci-fi/thriller/comedy about the end of the world. It's the kind of movie that you'll have to watch over and over again before you can figure anything out. But I'm unhappy with the DVD quality, and I'm almost certain that there is going to be a SPECIAL EDITION or something around Christmas. Why wouldn't there be? Anyway, blah blah blah, buy the movies that I bought blah blah blah GOODBYE.

Quicky

Spent a couple of hours at the mall. Then my friends left and I went to FYE to pick out a dvd to keep me company. While I was looking around, I felt the intense urge to use the restroom, so I left, came out of the restroom, and everything was closing, so now I'm kinda sad because I will have to find something else to do tonight. Oh well. Hopefully my friends will return to the mall tomorrow, and we can spend a merry old time together again.

Two-fer

hey internet STOP BEING SO SLOW

So I took an Algebra exam today, and I definitely did not pass. Maybe I should start doing some practice problems or something so I can remember how to do this stuff. Apparently staring at a bunch of paper for an hour is not enough to get me by in that class. Damn.

Oh, well. Now that the test is out of the way, I don't really have anything else to worry about this week, really. Tomorrow's payday, so after class gets out, I'm heading to Tupelo to hang with me BUDZ. It'll be fun, and who knows? If I have enough spare scratch in the bank, I might head to Memphis and make a day of it, since I don't have class on Friday. So while that Algebra thing was no good, at least I can look forward to something.

Also, for some reason, I'm just NOW getting to like Public Image Ltd., after having their full discography for a good while.

I could be wrong, I could be right!
I could be black, I could be white!

Money Is a Happiness Machine

So I have $2.80 to my name until Thursday, and I realize that I am now out of shampoo and body wash, so I'm secretly using the BARE MINIMUM amount of my roommate's shampoo and body wash. Hopefully he won't be able to tell, unlike his liquid soap dispenser, which I'm quite sure he's noticed I use. I wouldn't feel so weird about it, but he doesn't mention anything. Maybe he really can't tell, or maybe he thinks it would be rude to tell me to stop. Or maybe he doesn't give a shit. Who knows. It's the same thing with me using his internet at the dorm. He doesn't ever mention it, but something tells me that he lets me keep using the internet when he wants (or even NEEDS) to use it. Oh well, he does plenty of annoying things himself, so I think I'll stop worrying about it.

Another Post

I'm trying to do the whole "post-a-day" thing. I don't even know why.

I've been playing a lot of Unreal Tournament 2004 lately. I'm not fancy enough to have a good enough computer to play UTIII. Plus this was free, and I don't need a disc to play. I play with my school friends who also have dorms. Oh wait, I'm being called by them right now, to go to eat dinner. TO BE CONTINUED.

What's All This, Then?

I'm back from Spring Break, where I worked the ENTIRE time. And the two days I had off? Well, I was forced to go to church with my mother. What fun!

So school is back, and I have a narrative essay AND summaries of the first fifteen chapters of The Sun Also Rises due for English tomorrow. I finished the essay, obviously. Writing is the easiest thing to do ever when you get a little creative freedom. The summaries, however, will not be making it, as I could not find The Sun Also Rises at Books-A-Million this past week. I'm kinda pissed about that. So I don't know what this has to do with anything, or why you would care about it, but it's too late. You've already read all of this.

Reboot (not the tv show that I barely remember)

Apparently this blog was forgotten for so long that it was erased or something, so START ANEW. I think I'm probably going to try to start blogging every day now, if possible. It'll give me something to do, at least. But probably won't blog next week because Spring Break is here, and I will be at home, without an internet source. Woooooooooooooooooooooooo.
