Big freaking update Lolcat related and otherwise

Posted by jiggitysmith - March 9th, 2009


The first episode of the next episodes of the Lolcats is 90% done, however, you won't see it until they're all done because I need to make sure it's consistent with the installment of 6 as a whole so don't expect it for a few months to probably summer.

It's absolutely incredible by the way, so much so that I'm seriously pursuing a sponsorship from NG (or from elsewhere if they're not interested).

Now onward to the REALLY big news. A prestigious ACTUAL magazine (not just an E-zine) contacted me to do a bit of animating for them (to which I naturally agreed). Obviously the Lolcats are going to be taking a back burner to this new project, but that's not a huge deal because the most they'll be needing is about 10-15 seconds worth of moderately easy material every other week to possibly every week if it snowballs in popularity.

This is a big IF, though, because he said that a pilot has to be made and approved first, but I'm confident I'll be able to wow them (I already blew them away after letting them see a sneak peek of my episode 1).

I talked to a guy in Los Angeles today for a half hour about it. I'm pretty stoked to say the least. On top of that he's going to get me some free publicity in possibly more than one article over some time.

More on this in the coming weeks.

Turtle is so happy :3

We are all pleased to see Tuna shirt cat again!

cooool! i wouldl ove to see your stuff (even not the LOL catz one)sir

*i would love!

also (will you do more stuff when u get views/sponsors

Well, the way I'm trying to work it is I want to do animation freelancing as a primary job although that's typically pretty hard to do. What's funny is I'm gathering appeal because I'm not a classically-trained animator (I taught myself pretty much everything I know and it gives my style of animation a unique flair it wouldn't have otherwise)

I wouldn't be pursuing this option, however, if I didn't improve since the last Lolcats and expect to continually improve. I mean, I had a staff member at that magazine tell me the first episode of the next set of Lolcats was quite literally "Awesome" and, as a result, wanted to give me more coverage. So when that comes to pass I'll definitely be mentioning it.

Sorry for the long reply. In short, I'll be animating till the day I die probably and getting sponsors will only make me make more.

Don't correct someone else's grammar if you have bad grammar yourself. xD

people still care?
