It would be fascinating to see one done with taxidermy teeth like the fuggler dolls. Fascinating, but creepy.

That's too scary, considering that I'd have to get the teeth from somewhere shady

I hope you guys are ready for season 2, Its gearing up soon, And this year I will be returning as a :siren: Prop Designer :siren:

A Prop for you non production people is a object that a character interacts with, So all the spaceships, spoons, gadgets, vehicles you see in season 2 will be draw by me! hopefully. Unless the art director wants to do it himself.


Oh also you better watch Community this Thursday, for the GI JOE episode. Me and my Goon girlfriend animated and designed on it. we also lost a lot of sleep over it. But I wont go into that.

I hadn't heard for certain that you got renewed, so that is amazing news! Congratulations on the promotion and another season!

Uhhh, maybe I'm ignorant, but I get the impression season one is still being worked on...are they banging out new scripts and voice tracks for the new season while you all are still animating the last one? Is this typical or was it a quick renewal and they wanted a fast turnaround?

You were doing the coloring on season one, yeah? Maybe characters next year? What is above props? :3:

When I come to this thread, I have to moderate the information I want to share with you all about the production, I feel like I can’t speak too much about your first question

But yes, Season 1 I did coloring, I would love to do characters, but that is a highly sought after position. I will try though for sure. Something else I really want to do is background design. I think production jobs are all valued similarly by the company. But artists and fans are particularly partial to Character designers. And that tends to get the most respect. Of course the top position would be the art director. The art director has a say in every single design, and makes corrections on all the stuff that is slightly off. He's the one that makes sure the whole show works (As far as design is concerned) and also works with the creator (Justin) to help get ideas across visually. There are also the storyboard people. But I’m not too connected to that part of it. I could go on forever about how it works, but it’s a "Pipeline", look it up if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

Is this going to be like regular TV where the next season comes 3-6 months later, or is it more like Adventure Time which I don't think has gone on hiatus for longer than a month in the last couple of years?

This is going to be like Gravity Falls, which 'takes a break' or something between two episodes and then gets postponed indefinetly.

Anyway: I just set the first frame for half a second or so and the last for about 1 second. Changes the whole mood while still keeping the motion intact. You can do a lot with frame timing. Animation Shop managed to squeeze a few K out as well.

I wanted to use the butter one here (EDIT: Where it's dropping the butter into the peas) but it's actually .2 kb over the limit. Could you possibly tamper with it if possible please :blush:

He has a pretty loose definition of "necessary," given the Meeseeks, and the alternate reality goggles. Though "getting rid of the family" might rank pretty high on his necessity scale I guess.

A subtle funny thing is that he made it sentient at all. It was completely unnecessary. He might as well(and probably did) have included pain receptors.

Rick's Priority #1 is "avoiding boredom". Somewhere just below that, if not actually priority #2, is "minimizing the amount of time he has to spend doing dumb poo poo for the family". There's a lot of overlap here.

He's more than willing to exploit science-y stuff and bend reality to do either of these things.
