On to Youtube!

As none of you know, I got my start in animation on a little app on the Nintendo DSi known as "Flipnote Studio." Let me tell ya, after spending over three years on a dinky little thing like that, it tends to bore you down.
So I've stopped animating for awhile since school gets in the way of everything.
Recently, however, I've been learning Flash and a few other animation applications on the computer, so I created another Youtube account (first account is another story), and this weekend, I'm planning to start a full-on, voiced, sound, and more detailed animated video. Let's hope I won't lose motivation on this on.

Digital Recreation

She requested 'em.

These three were for this application I had to fill out. From left to right, it ranges from A, B, and C. Lemme tell ya, these versions are a heck of a lot better looking than the hand drawn versions.
I feel like there's a sense of corniness to them, but I can't say no to the fellow requester.
YA HEAR THAT? Yeeeaaah, she heard that. You better heard that.

Down the Stairs

I created this short animation titled "Down the Stairs," just like how this title post suggests.
I used Flash to create this; not including weekdays, it took about a week to finish, maybe more. I was thinking about uploading this to YouTube for the heck of it, since I haven't uploaded anything on my account, but it's just a seven second video.
Maybe I should go back on it and add sound.

Writin' Comics

Before animation, I had my start in writing comic books.

Like always, I would come up with the story, write it, and of course, draw it. It's been over four years since I last wrote a comic book. They were all about superheroes and their crazy adventures in defeating kooky criminals and villains.

Recently, I've been given a ton of blank paper; also, I've finally kicked myself to get more staples for my stapler.

The only difference is now, I've kinda lost my creativity in coming up with a great title!

CRAP, MAN. It's annoying, exactly like having a word at the tip of your tongue.

Let's hope laziness doesn't take over my motivation :p

Comment Settings

Unrelated to the subject for this blog, but....

I realized that I had the comment settings to "Registered Users." I don't know why it was set to that, but I've finally set it to "Anyone (including anonymous)"

So now anyone should be able to post comments on the blog.

Santa's Wish

I am so late with this one.
I've never got to posting this comic strip.

Also, I've got to use another program besides Paint. I'm not too fond of the pixalated look it gives to the drawings.
So anyways, now that I'm here, I've started some short animations that I'm working on. Progress is very slow, since the only chance I can get to work on them is on weekends.
Soon I'll have my ol' Youtube channel up and running some day.
The goal is 2013.

"Future" Progress So Far

A few posts ago, I mentioned that I was working on a project that would have the setting of the year 2422. I'm not the best when it comes to designing backgrounds and whatnot, so I've been using some images I found on the Internet as references to create this futuristic city. This photo are some drawings I've drawn from using said images as a reference to designing futuristic buildings. Vehicles and gadgets are my designs, though. That's the fun part about this; I get to create futuristic gadgets. I know it's kinda hard to see what I've drawn, but just click on the image to expand its size. I kinda drew lightly because they were just quick sketches to get a feel for the design.

I've already created the characters(characters are always the easiest) and did some fashion designing(because I'm pretty sure fashion/style changes every decade or so.) It's all I have so far regarding this project.

So you can stop reading now.

I said now.

What's a Limelight?

As a good number of people know, I used to go by the name "Limelight."
Well, as we all know now, I go by "Doji Pocket."
Why?
I thought Limelight was a good name, despite everything being called Limelight(if you Google the word) That name was held dear to me because as a little kid, I've wanted to open a studio called "Limelight Studios" (Now it's "Limelight Animation Studios" because then, I didn't animate)
But just last year, I typed "Limelight Animation," in the Google search bar and even before I finished typing the whole thing out, turns out, it already existed.
After that, I was down for two days. Limelight was my thing for several years, and in just seconds, it was done.
After I realized that Limelight was a stupid unoriginal name, I started coming up with something better! After all, my content is original, so my "name" should be the same.
That one fateful day, during the High School Exit Exam, I was finished early, so I had nothing to do, when out of nowhere, the name "Doji Pocket" occurred to me.
A few days pass by, and now, it's mah new thing! So here we are today with Doji Pocket.
Be on the lookout for "Doji Pocket Animation Studio" one day.

The reason I posted this was because I finally released the URL of this blog to Flipnote Hatena, a site where I used to be active, posting my animations. My username was Limelight.
Search me up the site if you've never seen my work!
Just don't see anything before 2013. That stuff's OLD.
