A Little Anim...

To make up for the lack of animation on this week's 'toon, here a little somethin' somethin' to look at... my first walk-cycle! I did this a while ago, part of my perpetually in-development second full animated short:





Doesn't look like much, but that's actually a lot of work on Flash.

As unbelievably complicated as Flash is for a numbskull like me, it actually starts to get fun once you get the hang of it...

Flash Probs

I'm getting more reports that the Flash versions of my 'toons aren't working quite right for some. I've noticed myself that it's hit-or-miss on Safari, especially when linking in from certain sites. However, it seems to work just fine in Firefox.

Two solutions for now: view the animation in Firefox, or click on the link to the non-Flash version above each cartoon.

Thanks for bearing with me...

Call for complaints...

I've been getting a few reports that the Flash versions of my recent comics aren't working right for some people. If you're having problems (or even if they work perfectly for you), please send me an email at nomind (at) fightingwordscomics.com and give me an earful...

Really... it's the only way I'll learn...

Fighting Words News: Animated FW Parts...

So, continuing with my expansion from the ultra-lucrative world of print editorial cartoons into the ultra-ultra-lucrative world of animated editorial cartoons for the web (now there's some bitter sarcasm for you!), you may notice that I am now incorporating more Flash into my weekly cartoon. It's basically the same comic, but with some movin' parts and sound FX (if you can't see it, there's a link there to the static version). Hopefully, I'll be able to do a little something every week...

Anyway, this should give me some valuable extra practice with Flash... and maybe give y'all a little added enner-tainmint.

Animation!

I was showing this around MoCCA over the weekend, but my first animation is up on the site now. It's been a long time coming, mainly cuz I've been trying to get a handle on Flash... now that I'm getting there, I'll definitely be doing more movin' cartoons. I like 'em!


It's an animated version of this cartoon:

Bonus Goodie...

So the reason I've been scuffling so much on blog posts lately is because I've been busy working my butt off trying to learn how to make movin' cartoons. Here's a little something I did in a class I took... not much yet, but it's a start (more to come soon):





BTW: no Moron post this week, since the 'toon was a repeat!
