Description [link] You can view the film on my Youtube account. Apparently, deviantfart doesn't like flv files.

This is my first Toon Boom animation and my life for 4 months, done for a class. Luckily, the whole course was just one project.

1:54 Well how 'bout that... There IS another evolution after Dugtrio!

Joking aside, that was actually pretty good! I'm surprised I never saw it before now. I know if I did animations, it would be a lot more puppet-looking. You should really do more animated shorts. Also, I think you should hold voice auditions and then you could animate shorts with actual voice acting. I'd even be willing to give voice acting a try, if I can get the proper equipment like a mic and what not...

Oh.....my.......GOODNESS. I was sitting here like a child watching his favorite Saturday morning cartoon throughout the whole episode. I am seriously impressed, Derek. This was incredibly well done. How? How did you do this? IT'S AMAZING!!! I couldn't even begin to imagine working on something like this. It was a good length, too. You should do more of these.

Wow. That description is just the sort of thing I want to capture in an audience. Reaching their inner child. Thanks a lot.

This was made with a program called Toon Boom Animate Pro over the course of four months. And, it's mostly frame-by-frame, which although looks the best, was a chore.

I have the program, so hopefully, I'll get to make more animated cartoons.

I hope you get around to more as well. It looked very Saturday morning cartoon like. Great little story and flow. Frame by frame, I'm sure that was a chore. Wow.

I have a question.

If the dragon isn't evil, where did the human skull come from 27 seconds into the cartoon?

EarthVStheDerek In reply to Ilovecomicstrips45 [2012-06-19 02:03:45 +0000 UTC]

That's actually something I hadn't thought of. Perhaps he was a fellow adventurer who died of fright after having second thoughts of fighting a dragon. I don't know.

Very superb work, my friend. As I said on your Youtube account; short, sweet, and creative. Reminds me so much of the good ol' days of animation.

Alas, the mere fact that it took you 4 months to make just this simple 2 minute or so cartoon is precisely why I have yet to put out a completely animated cartoon myself. Animation is such a involved and tedious task; especially when your storyline is as in-depth as mine. I'm still just trying to illustrate all the characters in my stories and their many character traits.

So much congratulations for your first animation.

EarthVStheDerek In reply to IAmTheUnison [2012-06-07 13:38:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot. Tried for a classic feel.

It's a chore, no doubt, but the pay off is spectacular. Seeing your characters brought to life, it's worth every minute put into it. And, a lot of it was that I insisted on doing it mostly frame-by-frame.

Thanks again.

I watched this one a few days ago, but I'll be darned if I wasn't totally impressed with how well your characters translated to animation! Sophie is as cute as a button here, and Sir Steve is hilarious in his physical humor. Really, this is a wonderful surprise from your cast, and it's a flashy display of a an excellent and well-deserved effort! Keep up the great work of these two!

Thanks a lot. I've always wanted to see these guys move around, and I'm glad I could pull it off. I relied on physical humor because I thought I didn't need a soundtrack. Thanks again.

I like to say this, I'm glad you found courage to post your animations.

dA, why no post videos?! This why I put mine on Youtube, I think I should do these links on my animations.

You did a great job with this animation, it reminds me of Looney Tunes. Poor Knight being the wanted guy at the end. But as an animator, there are still flaws but my animations are not perfect too but my tutor wants one of my animations to have a tune up, the one as a portfolio piece.

BTW, if see the dislike, this must be Sir Steve or another knight in this position.

EarthVStheDerek In reply to LaptopGeek92 [2012-05-19 15:04:46 +0000 UTC]

I was actually anticipating putting on here for months, so you can imagine my reaction when it wouldn't let me put it into any category. My guess is that they don't want people treating DA like Youtube, posting blogs and home videos.

Thanks. I watched a lot of that stuff as a kid, and it probably seeped into here. Not Steve's lucky day, that's for sure. I did notice some stray lines. I scrawled out a lot of the drawings as fast as I could.

It must be Mortimer or Gretchen! Oh, well. There's always a few malcontents around.

Time now for Chandraraj play-by-play commentary! ( I do this to all videos, even my own)
:18 = Man's motivation for everything. (Great job on the girls, by the way!)
:21 = Haters gonna hate!
:31 = The face of those who realized "Oh shit. Finals are TODAY"
:43 = Okay, that's just plain cute
1:01 = Becoming so angry that his metal helmet grows red? Not even going to go into the science of it
1:14 = ...Just awesome
1:30 That guy has the best run ever
1:58 = That house failed its fortitude roll
In all seriousness, I'm proud of you. This is a really good short, very cute, and some lovely animation, expressions...I would love to hear them with voices someday!
(And if you ever need someone to be Gretchen...I'd be more than happy to help )
But keep up the great work! This is awesome!!!!

:18 = Those men. Oh, wait!
:21 = Steve's gonna steve.
:31 = I know this was me earlier this month.
1:01 = He could become a welder just using his rage.
1:30 = When dragons are around, it's always good to run like a sissy.
1:58 = Cheap medieval craftsmanship! They don't make 'em like they used to, and it's probably a good thing.

Thanks a bunch. I would love to do one with voices. Especially if it co-stars Edwin. Somehow, I think you'd make a pretty smashing Gretchen. Hopefully, I'll be able to animate again.

I've been told it's the industry standard for 2D after Flash. There's even a free copycat of it online called Pencil.

MintyMousyX In reply to EarthVStheDerek [2012-05-19 16:22:10 +0000 UTC]

I know Pencil. It's only useful to make basic animations, not cartoons. And it has still some bugs to Windows version, specially it crashes suddenly when you save your project >.<
