Gorillaz Friday: Noodle Drawing!

  I've made this drawing for Noodle from the GORILLAZ:

LAYOUT/CLEAN-UP DRAWINGS

THE RUN-DOWN / HOW-TO:
A long time,
after a storyboard was done,
we move to make layout drawings & prototype sketches:
now I need....
AN ANIMATION BREAK!
FROM SCHOOL
And I'm loving it!
I'm a REAL LIVE OVERWORKED BURN-OUT TRANSGENDER ANIMATOR!

I even made some
"The GoldBox Show" Layouts & Clean-ups
by Me:

1. ORIGINAL LAYOUTS (Pencil)


It put the characters a bit more on model
and served as waypoints for the animators.


 2. INK IT! (Sharpies, Markers)




3. [FINAL] CLEAN-UPS (Digital Ink & Paint Color)









That's
Me as Danielle/FredBear/Kelly
Sidi as Himself

Jerry Eisenberg (1937 – 2025)

 

 

I am kind of late, but the animation community has lost another former Hanna-Barbera veteran. 

Jerry Eisenberg sadly passed away on February 11 at the age of 87.

I didn't have the honor of meeting Jerry, when I started working/falling in love with animation in 2016. 
So, I leave this quote here.

"Dear Jerry, 
I didn't get to meet you or be friends with you, but you made thousands of people laugh at the amazing characters that you and others make will care from your hand-drawn legacy, 
keep riding in Peter Potamus' hot-air balloon"

Working on an animatic.

FUN FACT:

The GoldBox Show pilot was DC's "experiment" with cel animation, and (having inked and painted on my own) I practically insisted on it. Digital color is a lot dead-inside than painting cels.

My big disappointment was that because this was DC's first stab at cel color, I was forced to look online use the existing cel color palette. Cel should allow thousands of color choices, but I only had two white/gray-ness white flesh tones to choose from and neither seemed pale enough for Danielle. That's why Danielle's color (and a number of other colors) changed after the pilot.

The "David Cartoons" intro image and the title cards were all digital. Our BGs/Animation were all painted old-school. Our animation was scanned in and colored digitally. I guess it was sort of a hybrid production.

IT'S 2016 ALL OVER AGAIN!

So, Trump started his Second Term, and you what that main "Dictatorship"

the Left/Democratics are getting to flipping mad., and the republicans' numerous attacks on innocent Transgender People like me (MTF) and the rest of LGBTQ+ community, other races are being targeted for no reason, AAAAGAAAINNN... and an addition, the TikTok ban was so forced and the great Red-Note migration that happen a few days before the ban on 19th January. 

 I simply just say "I ain't got time for that!", Haruka. in my mind. you can tell my coping skills are not great.

STAY SAFE,

DO NOT GET TRICKED
BY THE REPUBLICIANS
LIES....

they will brain you!

CNS FLAG SPORTIN' WHAT'S YOU SPORTIN'

As I mentioned in my last post, I was kind of ranting about in cartoons and modern YouTube video.

But hey, I made this last night after posting that.

Hi!
I'm a flag!


But I'm not just
ANY FLAG!

I'm
(FANMADE) Cartoon Network Studios' Pirate
Flag! 

 And I
LOVE
it!
BTW, the skull was drawn by CN exec Linda Simensky, not Mike Lazzo. Lazzo just uses it for [adult swim]which was first seen as a pirate flag at the Cartoon Network Studios building for several weeks in 2000 (when the building was officially opened on August 24th) before local Californian police threatened action over its lack of permit.

Hope you enjoy the shows in the summer... hopefully there'll be more updates, this week!

I HAVE to go. Who else is going to heckle Tyrez Johnson?

Same-Same

How to make a joke in a cartoon/or youtube vids (my opinion)

 so You can ignore this Post.... but this is like a roast-rant of joke in some modern cartoons/Youtubers

modern cartoons (modern spongebob, family guy & simpsons, content farms)

Lily (Character from TGS, just go with it) is sitting at her desk at school, and over the PA

the PA announcer says "A Pizza Party has commenced for teachers, and students in (Whatever) grade,"

Lily (excitedly): That's Us! (Do a zany expresssion)

***Seinfeld-ass Laugh Track****

that's the Joke. No Punchline. No SLAPSTICK? or layer to the Joke. that it's.


older cartoons (Powerpuff, Looney Tunes, Billy & Mandy, Old YouTube Vids)

Lily (Character from TGS, just go with it) is sitting at her desk at school, and over the PA

the PA announcer says, "A Pizza Party has commenced for teachers, and students in (Whatever) grade,"

Lily: *stupidly* ignores it.

Danielle (Punch Lily on the shoulder): Sorry. Um, Lily. (or not let her say nothing)

Danielle: (Show Pizza Party Ticket, she has)

Lily: Darn... (or replaced it with Oh RAD!!!)

Now that's A Joke. YES Punchline. has layers to the Joke. that it's.

A joke for the second episode of The GoldBox Show. (I had to write it down before I forgot it.)

The GoldBox Show Pilot & Me coming back to work...

Before I got my Asian Indian ass sent to AEC,
in January of this year
I storyboarded an episode for THE GOLDBOX SHOW
called
THE NIGHT GOT REALLY SCREWED UP!
or The Show's Pilot Episode.


Here's the Storyboard Begin Page... for it!

But... Sure,

we started up production
100 years ago (joke).

But this Friday
April 25th
A-Period / D-period Lunch
(Texas time)
the first episode privatively premieres.

"The Pilot"
anyways with me coming back to work

Like... I think come backing to WORK pretty intense.

And after a grueling 4.5 days (COMING BACK FROM AEC, BUYING, SETTING UP, MOVING STUFF FROM HOME), I had to get up and perform my story for the bigshot RHS Teachers along with my old/new friends.

Soon You Guys See, between Pre-Production (writing, designing, storyboarding, etc.) and Post-Production (calling retakes, spotting music and sound FX, editing, mixing, etc.) 

Don't Worry Me, Alex, Sidi, Matthew & Tyrez are up to our vampire-bitten neck in craziness. 

So now it's my job to help him out! I'm kind of doing a little of everything-- Post-Production, Pre-Production, hanging out by the pie table at the Rowlett High commissary, etc.

 In other words, I get to work on a fun show, hang out with my friends all day, work with an awesome crew and awesome new friends and teachers, AND get not ban for doing it at school?


But don't worry... I've got lots of my OWN projects (Ant-Op, Bold! and an third Unnamed Space-themed Cartoon...) in varying stages of development! Keep it locked here so I can tell you about them!



Find out this Friday, June 20th at 9:00PM!
ONLY on YouTube!

Hope y'all like it out!
