Get Arin to teach you. I've taught people who couldn't draw before, it's not something you NEED to know how to do to learn flash. If anything, knowing Flash is an inspiration enough to teach yourself how to draw. Though of course like anything it takes time.
I want to see pictures of BAcon. And not the edible kind.. hyuk hyuk.
Well, I know flash. I taught myself flash and simple AS back when I was like 12 or 13. I just suck at drawing and honestly just have very little experience animating.
And come talk to me on skype some time. I'll show you BACon pics. Though, I'll also be sending them to Luis for his mini-site.
haha good times
glad you were there man.
yeah, that was some good shit.
I'll be sure to get my photos to Luis.
who is faceman?
i have a vague understanding of the character
he goes to expos and conventions
and that is far as my knowledge goes
faceman is a fine fellow. he actually does most of his videos from home, and you can check em all out on youtube. i did, however, have the pleasure of recording faceman at anime boston 2008 =3
Hey theres me in the brown! lol, I didn't even know I was on camera.
Its weird, I been looking to ask you to voice this cartoon for me like forever and I was talking to you at the con not even knowing you were Tomamato. Lol.
Next time Newgrounders meet up we should wear nametags or something.
ooo and good luck on your animation venture, I'm sure you can do it.
Thanks Tystarr =D -- and yeah, we probably should wear nametags, cause I feel really weird introducing myself as TomaMoto.
Ahhh, I was just fucking with you. Do what you want.
<3 no babies
thanks for comin out, im glad we were able to kick it on a deeper level than when we ran into each other in that other convention a few weeks ago.
Tom and everyone appreciates your enthusiasm and effort behind the booth. It really is quite admirable cause nobody was paid to be there or required to but you all really took it seriously and pitched in to make it work. So ya
XOXOXOXO
Well I could tell a sappy tale of how Newgrounds has grown dear to me, but instead I'll just return the
<3
Dude i wish I could have gone, it looks so fun. Maybe Ill save my money up for next year to meet everyone so I can travel down there. As far as animation goes Toma, I think you can do it man. All it takes is time and imagination. If you need help learning how to draw I'm always a Skype text away (when i'm not at work). Oh yeah, did I tell you I was working on a cartoon. Collin and the Wishing Tree (oh snap). two and a half years animating and I finally managed to get a cartoon network look. Man, its looking great. Anyways, you should check out tutorials here or at cartoonsmart.com where I first started off. It teaches alot even though the teachers stlye isnt something i'd adopt. Well, peace out man :P
Really appreciate it, Xavier! XD Do you need a high quality copy of Collin for your source? Also, make Noah cast me in his wizard cartoon ;D
Looking forward to seeing more of you and your animations!
It was relatively awkward for you to tell me who I was sitting next to in the retaurant after you were mildly buzzed over an 80's movie, but for some reason, it just felt so right.
:3
And then we had fun :D
for those who weren't aware of the conversation:
TM: *banters drunkenly, making up words for weird soundless 80s dance film being shown at the restaurant*
R24: *laughs* Now all we need is Egoraptor and TomaMoto here and we're set.
TM: Well, we've got at least one of them.
R24: =O
Lol, all I kept hearing was balls XD. I hope your going to san diego so we can meet >:O
later, st1k
i was strongly considering it till i found out all the 4 day passes were sold out. Also, I've been spending so much on traveling and I found out there won't even be a newgrounds booth at SDCC.
Not going saves me money anyway. Anime Expo 08 will be my last con for a while, methinks.
Lol, I was locked in hardcore combat with Afro Ninja in NG Rumble there. Wow I look constipated when I get into video games. ._.
Better constipated than pooping all over the floor of the con center... yeah, i went there.
Damn, I should of been there.
Aw yeah, definitely try next time. It was awesome!
Tomamoto Come TO England It Rules!!!!
Was Everyone Like saying Balls????
COS DER BALLZ ARE INERT!!!
I Wish You Done a DBZ Dub Lol Like The Naurto Dub
Where The Sales Good at The Con?
Or Was it slow all day???
Cheers
P.S Flash Looks Hard Thats Why I CBA to Even Try lol
I was seriously considering the London meet. All depends on my financials as that approaches. That was actually me saying balls in Mastermind 3 (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal /view/432902). Pure coincidence that it was playing on the TV when I started recording the video.
Sales were pretty good on Saturday thanks to the awesome fans that showed up. Sunday, the whole con was generally not super crowded, though there was sort of a rush toward the end. I guess people wanting to ensure that they went home with something. Sorry to throw a plug in here, but the tankmen figures are totally awesome. Totally get one if you have a spare 20 bucks at any point... that's about 10.24 GBP. ;D
As far as a DBZ dub, that could happen. Ego actually proposed a DBZ dub originally, but for whatever reason we wound up doing Naruto. Go figure.
I'm sure you'll get the hang of flash pretty fast- most likely way faster than I ever did.
And until you can pull off something beautiful, you can just wing it with the numerous methods of animating that look decent and accomplish what's necessary and are really easy (various styles pull this off- South Park, Egoraptor, standard beginner multi-body-part flash tweening, etc).
Wish I could have been at Big Apple Con. Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves.
Tom and Afro Ninja look classy as usual. MindChamber however (think that's him) appears quite tired and not in his usual trim shape. I need to call his mom and tell her he's not getting enough time outside these days.
Heh yeah, we were all pretty tired. Mindchamber got up the earliest each morning to ensure that the booth was ready for the day ahead.
So all the people telling you to animate finally got to you?
Not really. I'm not motivated my whining. This is inspired more by how much I've come to care for this community and my desire to join the ranks of the various great NG animators whom I respect. Also, it'd be really nice to be able to make entire cartoons on my own.
Good luck with animating.
thanks
Lol Snoooze.
Im glad you are attempting animation :D I could show you my first animation to make you feel better XD
Yeah, totally do that! XD
who knows, you might be the new egoraptor... maybe
I DONT HAVE A CREDIT CARD...
Neither Does My Mum Or Dad....
But if like....if someone was to come over (from America) With One..I could totally pay them if i went to the NG meat Up In London Soon I do have ten pounds....
it would be awesome to meet some heroes or mine...(YES I MEAN YOU HA!!)
or I could Spend some money on a Microphone AND TOTALLY DO A DBZ DUB WITH YOU!! (HINT HINT!!)
Cos The Naurto Dub Was Hilarious....
Hopefully i will see you in england
Cheers
Heh, I always miss the fun like that. (Am I punished or something?)
Also good luck with animating! Gotta see how it turns out.
Wiiporter
Stick to voice acting, bud >:(
TomaMoto (Updated )
You're telling me to quit before I even try? That's pretty weak, dude.
