Spyguy - based on a 1980's British Video Game Character

It seemed likely, that if I applied myself with that art tablet... just maybe, I could come up with a back story to Manimated/youtube channel's work on such a cool dude character. (( the problem... was I'm too green at presenting an idea, properly.)) This stuff is just harder than it looks.

For instance, I used Corel Painter... when perhaps I should use Photoshop :



The Second Consideration : A good Character needs a Side Kick.



Of course, no matter how lame the storyline, or the illustration work is... just share it:

The real issue is, could an unknown without much skill with writing an episode - come up with something ?!?

I taught myself how to use the Wacom Art Tablet - but it's not enough...

Sometimes you have to try other kinds of software products, and look at your drawing technique to see if something could be applied differently. (( Usually, I'm always getting Public Library Books on... draw like this... or how to use Photoshop Layers.)) this particular piece doesn't have layers... it's all drawn out.

One day I discovered www.comicspace.com - started linking this kind of art, with my youtube/geargail account to show my ability at making short 2D animation pieces, to go along with my short stories. (( At first, I thought... all I just needed to do is to apply myself more.))

The... the unexpected happens. ( the computer crashed ) and I was left, thinking how dependant I had been using the tablet... that I forgotten to learn how to just do things by regular hand and paper.

Getting a wide screen computer monitor helped - and then another issue, the fact the Wacom Tablet I'm using isn't wide screen. ( intuos ver.2 - so I had to get ver.4 with the new 2010 updated software.) thought it was going to be so easy to learn quickly... but NO... I'm so wrong, ... and the Store I bought it from, didn't have the Small size, and I decided to upgrade to a Medium.)

--- I do plan to get a THETHYRBITE, which looks like a candy chocolate bar, at the Office Depot for $80.00 a.s.a.p. so I have a back-up memory of some kind.

What helps too, is the www.ning.com and having your own material online. That and www.photobucket.com[/youtube]
