2023-03-01 18:57:17 UTC Too long, didn't readHi, welcome back to me ranting about something useless. So basically I’m currently done with like 5 minutes of the project, but the thing is, most of the time I’m animating stuff thats kinda tedious, and I’m lazy so i dont feel like animating something that doesnt need to be animated, so I’m thinking about doing stuff in comic form, but idk i dont want to just stop animating, its just that i feel like animating the interesting stuff, unlike dialouge and stuff (which is mainly what is going on whwguwbw).
But if I just have the basic frames without movement it looks stiff and unnatural compared to the scenes that are actually animated, so animating the boring stuff is important, but ultimately has procrastinating. If I actually wanted to do it, I’d do it, but I enjoy writing more. Nobody likes reading except for like the one or two people that actually read all the way down here, but if I added images along with the text (the comic thing I was talking about) I could do so much more and take less time to do what I want to do. Again, this doesnt mean I wont animate my characters anymore, its just that I’d rather animate them doing something interesting rather than talking, so maybe the more lore-heavy stuff like bootlegged could just be presented in comic form or wwihd
LOOK, WHAT IM TRYING TO GET AT IS THAT IM VERY UNDECISIVE AND DONT KNOW HOW TO DO STUFF OK. I just dont feel like animating as much as I feel like writing. Images with text slapped on them is much easier to do than having them move their arms every two seconds just to say a few words, plus I’ve started to enjoy making them now that i’ve figured out how, also recently (i forgot who made the post) but somebody used google docs to make a comic which I thought was a cool way of sharing them, or maybe just making like five pages on a single post for people to read, but again, Idk.
ALSO ONE MORE THING, THE TIMELONE IS ALL MESSED UP BECAUSE I DIDNT FINISH THE SECOND EPISODE, THE FIRST ONE SUCKS, AND THE THIRD ONE IS CONFUSING IF YOU NEVER SAW WHAT HAPPENED SO IM THINKING OF STARTING OVER
Okay thats enough text for one day, if you read all the way through, why

I’m sorry that you find yourself in quite the sticky situation infinite. Though I do believe that a comic form would not really hinder the quality of bootlegged, that is ultimately up to you. All I can say is that I will support any decision that you make.
Perhaps take some time to think it through and gather up advice from others, particularly those who also have series’s or are adept animators who tell stories.
Your work has always been quality and, even in a different style, you can definitely pull it off.
While I personally enjoy your animations style along with music and sounds since it’s more immersive, I feel like the comic style would set you apart from other animators and the comics you’ve already made are very good looking.
The way I see it, either choice you make it’s a win. And I’ll be satisfied with whatever choice you make. If you choose comics I’d still like to see what you made so far for the newest episode.
And in the future feel free to use Penny as a character in the series, I feel like it would be interesting if she stole Sseugetinifni after hearing how valuable he is..
Honestly, I believe that you should put the dialogue heavy/scenes that you were referring to in comic form and action scenes/interesting in animation (like you brought up)
However this opinion doesn’t hold much value. So pick and choose you who listen to.
This was also an idea I had, but it might be a bit confusing switching between the two
I might try it tho, maybe
Maybe put in the title [comic x animation] or put some sorta indicator as to what is going on in the description (if it’s on YouTube) or a Sticknodes reply
