Hello and welcome to another post of LLG. Today I thought I might do a bit of a different post as some people have told me that as a writer of such a blog I should include things that I think and do which in way I do share with my drawings and today's post will kinda be based on a previous drawing but it'll be more focused on somethings I've been thinking about and doing. One of the first things I'd like to talk about is old time cartoons, their style, what are my feelings about them and why that is and why it isn't. So to start things off, for anyone who's been with this blog for awhile may remember a pair of drawings I did awhile back shown below.
Anyone could tell this is heavily based of old cartoons as the joints are made to be more lose and curved rather than structured and rigid and the eyes have the slight touch to them that isn't too detailed but is a mark of the time and lastly the gloves being a big part for old time animators being a favorite of theirs. So yeah, I do like the style of old time cartoons but the reason I wanted to talk about this is because of the why. Well one big reason is I love the looseness and unrealistic characteristic often seen in such cartoons.
Another big reason is because an amazing fighting game I love known as SkullGirls by Reverge Labs.
Many who see this game might dismiss it as a very fan service game ( they wouldn't be too wrong about that though...) but the animation is great and two of my favorite characters are kinda appropriate ( the two characters are Beowulf and Peacock ). Anyways ( getting a bit sidetracked ) the art style is cartoonish and the character Peacock is entirely based off old cartoons ( also the music ( mostly jazz ) works so well with the artistic backgrounds). Point is, while every character takes inspirations from different sources it is more active with the old cartoon style. Point is, I like old time cartoon style and a great game with amazing art and music is one of the many reasons for that being the case. SO! what is the reason that some people might think I like old time cartoons and just isn't the case? Bendy and the Ink Machine. Not a terrible game but in my opinion it is way overrated and it is everywhere. Next story is about how my Mom likes to write poems and wants to share them. Now it is a well known fact to my family that I write a blog and post my own content on it to share so my Mom had asked me if I could make her a blog. This is, she wants to be able to customize it as much as possible and I know for a fact that'd she'd have trouble with the Blogger interface that I use for this very own blog. So, I've decided to make her blog site for her using Notepad++, html and css and it made me think. Why do I use Blogger instead of making my own site? Why limit myself to a site made to those who can't code and design when I could show my skills, practice and set myself apart?! Because I'm lazy ;3 and since I can't pay myself and I'm not my Mom who I'd gladly pick up a new language of coding to make her the best site ever! So, once I finish that project I'll post the link to it so you guys can meet my marvelous Mom and see how bad I can mess up code I've learned in a single day..... Look forward to that.... Lastly some friendly advice. There's a few days left......watch E3 2017, there's some good stuff :3. Till next time I'll see ya'll in the next post!
