ParticipantWell, that's one . . . any others yea or nay?
I vote "yea".
ParticipantGranted, you're right to some extent, but for her it may also be a way to connect with her fans. Most of us are here to see just this sort of thing anyhow. Some of us may enjoy the chance to communicate with her. What's the harm if it also happens to promote her career?
Bo.
My sentiments exactly. I'd have a problem if the only content of her posts was "visit my site"; but she shares photos and news about her career… I'd say she's "earning her keep".
And, Krisztina, let me add my congratulations to you on your win. Well done!
ParticipantWeird… I thought I'd posted a notice about the rest of page 19 being up here myself.
I think I can guess what happened… after previewing a couple of times, I probably forgot to click "Post". Hey, I've done dumber things than that before!
ParticipantIs okay if an aritst/writer answers?
I'm not usually listening to music when I write/draw, but I do have ideas about what kind of "soundtracks" my characters would have.
Satin Steele – probably wouldn't have much of an underscore; her posing routines would most likely be set to Techno/dance or hip-hop tunes.
Dyna the Damsel Dynamo – two years or so ago, I'd have not thought of anything but a triumphant John Williams/Elmer Bernstein symphonic score. But MIchael Giacchino, with his score for The Incredibles shows me that '60's-style "spy movie" scores could work as well.
Tetsuko – symphonic score for action scenes, and '80's-vintage J-Pop for the themes. (Tetsuko's two favorite songs are both "Urusei Yatsura" themes – "Pajama Jama Da"(mp3) (lyrics) and "Tonogata Gomen Asobase" (mp3) (lyrics)
ParticipantDavid created and drew some magnificent characters. So wonderful, it drew out a lot of writing from me. If it weren't for him, my writing list would be a lot smaller. So I gotta give my props to DCM. And thanks. *bows*
Aw shucks, t'weren't nuthin'. *scuffles foot in dirt*
Seriously: I'm extremely flattered that my creations have inspired you to write. And I've enjoyed what you've written, and would love to see more.
ParticipantDon't forget there are people in Texas who're putting up with quite a bit of water…
As for Tet-chan, you're right – this is building towards something goooood! 8)
Well, it's building towards something… I sure hope it's good! ;D
Most of the rest of the page is laid out in (very) rough pencils; it's just a matter now of finding the time to ink, color, letter…
PS: Sorry about not posting notice of the new partial page here. It's getting to where getting the page itself posted is only half the work; then I have to put a notice on my update blog, put a notice on the front page of the main site, post a notice here… *whew!* I'm half tempted to drop the update blog in favor of my dA page.
Interesting, now youthful again Slade's appearance reminds me of the character Jordan Collier (as played by Bill Campbell) from The 4400 – perhaps, as a tip of the hat to the series?
What? There's a character on The 4400 that looks like the youthful Slade? I don't watch the show.
ParticipantThank you, Fedx! Nice work!
ParticipantOh… 🙂
Well, that's the idea… 😀
ParticipantI dont get it… What is about this 'Clutch Cargo'? I'm not in America to know all of your cartoons… 🙂
That's okay… when I said "old Clutch Cargo cartoon", I meant old… like 1959! (So there are even a lot of Americans who wouldn't know about CC.)
Wikipedia has an informative article about it, but to make a long story short: Clutch Cargo was famous (notorious?) for using a patented technique called "Synchro-Vox" that superimposed live actors' mouths over animation cels. (Actually, to refer to CC as "animated" is to stretch the definition of "animation" to the breaking point: there was very little actual movement in these cartoons. When a car, or an airplane, had to cross the shot, they simply pulled the cel across the background, for example.)
The "Synchro-Vox" technique was used a couple of years later in another series, "Space Angel" (which I liked better than Clutch, actually), and a similar technique is still used on occasion on Conan O'Brien's show.
ParticipantOkay, I have to get in on the fun too..
*clears throat*
*sings to the tune of "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay"*This is your birthday song
It isn't very long;D
