The first episode's backgrounds should be all done by the time casting is over. In the meantime, I'm working on planning drawings, which are thumbnails of the key poses, extremes, and in-betweens that are used to plan a scene instead of that pose-to-pose technique (which is NOT fun). After that, I do several straight-ahead runs of rough animation.
I've decided to nix the storyboards from now on since I'm the only person planning scenes and movement; it's not like I have a whole animation team to send a storyboard off to. It'll save me a lot of time and money (I'm looking at YOU, Kinko's).
MUSIC!

Happy Birthday to me!
I level up today at 11:45 PM. I'll be 20!
Anyways, GtM news. The backgrounds aren't finished, but I want to hire voice actors already!!! I need to ink and color the official pictures of the characters for a visual reference (they're just sketches now). I think I'll still have to wait until all of the backgrounds for the first two episodes are done.
Edit (5-21): Official character art was finished several days ago, and the backgrounds for the first episode are about halfway done. A few are completely finished, but many of them are line drawings almost ready to be colored.

Quick Update
I had Lasik exactly one month ago. And I STILL haven't drawn a comic about it. If I can still remember what it was like, I'll do so!
Because it took a while to recover from the surgery, I'm behind on my cartoon. Roy's still working on backgrounds, and I'm still practicing Ghosteh's voice and doing some sound editing. I have a lot of new ideas for more episodes though. =D Time to go buy coffee and get started on the animation...

Back From Vacation
Hey all! I've been on vacation in Hawaii for the last 6 days, so I couldn't work on GtM while I was away. I've gotten better at drawing Strider's new hairstyle, decided to tweak Ghosteh's colors (but haven't figured out what color scheme to give him yet), and started a new sketching style: highlighter drawings! 8D Basically I draw full-body sketches (from now on), ink them, and color the green, blue, and purple parts with some cool new highlighters I got. So keep an eye out for those! ;)
Oh yeah, and I've gotten better at speaking in a Cockney dialect. XD

Backgrounds Have Started
This is the first major step of the cartoon to have begun. I am in the process of sketching the backgrounds so that my lovely assistant, Roy, can paint them. I may post up a few samples when we finish enough, so keep an eye out!
In other news...I'm leaving for Hawaii on the 27th!!! My parents have decided to go there to watch the Pro Bowl in Waikiki. This will be my 7th time visiting Hawaii for a vacation! WOO! I'll be working on GtM during the 5-hour plane ride (or I may just end up playing Pokemon, who knows).

SFX + Music
Just today, I started using Audacity. I've had it on my computer for a long time now, but since my parents went to the football game in San Diego, I decided to spend the day recording some sound effects for the cartoon. I've been messing around with Audacity to edit all the SFX, and it's pretty fun.
P.S. Merry late Christmas!!!
P.S.S. Listen to some Metallica, won't you?

Storyboards in Progress!
Dang, I forgot to post this earlier! I finished compositing my final film, but I'm not sure whether to upload it. If I decide to, I'll post a link. Aaaannnd on Thursday, my animation class is having a potluck before we head to the library for the premier of our animations. =D Meanwhile, my parents are going to the Mark & Brian Christmas Show at the Nokia Theater that day. My dad bought all three of us tickets before knowing that I couldn't go. u_u
Also, I'm finally going to continue storyboarding my GtM episodes. Once the first two episode's storyboards are done, my partner-in-crime Roy Hunter Julien is going to do the backgrounds. Then, we can start hiring voice actors for Giovanni and Strider. =D I can't wait for that! Til then, I have to practice Ghosteh's voice, and Roy's brother Merryll will be composing the music. Okay then, see you guys next time!
