Today in the morning class, we had a guest speaker who talked to us about some important plot elements: antagonists, inciting incidents, resolutions, and guiding ideas. It was interesting because I never really consider these things when I make daily flashes; I just make them. I kinda find it easier to just make them without thinking of these things, but that’s probably more suited for things that are made quickly and often, as opposed to longer works that take a lot more time to make. Then we got to work on our comics and stuff. I redrew the first page so Unnamed Character is at school instead of on a random street.
your flash classes are so awesome…i know only the basic things…
That’s because you like cats and they’re cute :3
UnnamedBox is amazing. So is the jumping cat. IT’S TOO CUTE D:
CAT IS CUTE
Jumping cat is awesome
So is boxhead
@asdfqwerty: Well, I don’t really see many cats in real life. Or any, actually. I haven’t seen a real cat in quite some time.
Anyway, here‘s jumping cat as a 100×100 pixel animated gif!
you made a spinning hina…so now you should make a jumping Suwako >_
What’s wrong with cats? We’re awesome.
Something tells me that next time i go to the bookstore ill see a book called “Walfas” in the manga section
@tre
How about spinning/somersaulting Chen/Ran
I have plenty of opinions on story telling, but generally, important plot elements are only important for plot driven stories. Your daily flashes seem more character based since it’s the characters reactions that are the key point of it all.
A walfas comic would be awesome, possibly to the level of rainbow-colored awesome. Do they give tips on panel layouts? Panel layouts is one of the major things preventing me from making my own comics since I just can’t decide which panel I want to put where.
asdfdsfasdfasdfsadfsfd your flash skillz are getting better :P
Hooray!
Hooray
I likes the BreadCat morph, it’s like, “That loaf is a spy!”
Your daily flashes are good enough, but it’d be interesting to see what the characters would be like in an actual story.
Also, Unnamedbox blows my mind.
Ahah those are really good. Those transformations are interesting :3
I can look at that jumping cat forever. Just like i did with the Catfall//Chenfall.
“There’s a catspy around here!”
I swear, by the end of this course you will have sketched something that’s truly lethal in its cuteness. I can’t get enough of your pencil-drawn characters.
Finally, a bread cat! Who doesn’t love whole wheat kittens; They’re good for you.
Shape shifting… interesting! I demand a daily flash with shape shifting! If we already have one behind my knowledge, then more!
So… Unnamed Character doesn’t hide under a box, she becomes a box!
you are certainly very talented at animation~
have you ever considered it as a career?
I love the bread cat and Unnamed box. I don’t know about a Walfas comic, but I can’t wait to see what you do with these new Flash skills.

I DEMAND A BREADCATFALL
omgbox!
@Thefre: Yeah, the instructor told us a bit about panel layouts. She discussed the generic American-comicbook-style panels (DC, Marvel, etc), the “more interesting” and experimental panel layouts (which seem to be used in practically every doujinshi I’ve read), and some other one where each panel is basically the exact same size and placed in a grid. When I do panels, I just draw the characters and objects first, then I draw the panel after.
@tragic comedy: I’ve never really seriously considered a career in animation, since I don’t consider myself as an artist (some people may disagree, but that’s just my personal opinion), just a person who happens to like drawing things in flash. Also, it seems to me like it’d be kinda hard to find a steady job, having to do freelance things all the time and whatnot. Although I guess if I were to choose a job based on what I would enjoy doing, I’d probably be an animator. But I also kinda want to learn programming and stuff, so I’m not really sure.
>programming
You know about India?
Enjoy being outsourced.
ah~~~~~ this is too awesome for me >
