EDIT*****
Made a quick character sketch. Going to do some noobish things and work on a turn around and a simple walk cycle for him. May throw it in my dumping grounds. I name him Blue.
I think I'm enjoying it. I'm not sure. Boy is it a far cry from Flash. Tell me, does the company macromedia actually exist anymore? I was under the impression that the last flash Macromedia had a hand in was number 8, but I've seen people walking around, saying, yeah! I know macromedia flash! But as far as I know, that's the version I STARTED on. Are Adobe and macro the same company? Someone please educate this ignorant fool.
I'm going to be taking some time in the next couple days to finish up some commission work, but to also learn Toon Boom. I feel so helplessly stupid and noobish again. I think I'll need regular intervals in Photoshop to help calm my tired nerves. Can you believe my college never even touched on toonboom? Can you believe it? Disney has apparently used it for Princess and the Frog and the new Winneh the Pooh. (2011?) I think its clear that I wasted my money on an institution that wasnt even keeping up to date with the software.
And my animation teacher was a joke. But seriously guys. She did backgrounds for Beavus and Butthead. Didn't you know they're the pinnacle of animation greatness?
I'll shut my yapper now before someone I know stalks nearby.
IIIIIIIIIIITS Adventure Time!

Macromedia was the original creator of flash, but was bought out by Adobe after Flash Professional 8 in a some-odd-billion-dollar stock exchange.
Since then, it's straight up Adobe.
ToonBoom is looking pretty sweet, by the way! Can't wait to see what you put out.

Thats what I thought. Thats why I got confused when some kid was bragging about knowing macromedia flash...I just had to make sure.
Thanks for buzzing by the page; I do things from time to time. I can't wait to see how this turns out as well!
