Feature length animation has largely been the bevy of corporate collaborative structure, and more recently lone wolf internet animators who toil for years to achieve their visions, but I don't think it HAS to be that way.
Call me a hippie socialist or whatever. But I believe the best, most beautiful creations lie in the middle ground, made my mid size groups outside corporate structure.
That's why I'm offering my services as a storyboarder. I want to draw as many as I can. I want to see other folks visions as well as my own.
*sigh* The situation could be best described as 'gingerbread house'. Nice and inviting from the outside, but barely held together by frosting.
The house had to have been built pre-1935-ish... before Athens had building codes. The ceiling had fallen in in one room, and was sagging in others. At first you couldn't tell why, the roof didn't have any obvious water damage, but I eventually found it. The studs in the ceiling and probably the exterior walls too, were 2x4s placed 25 inches apart instead of 16. Frankly it's a miracle the place was still standing. Also most roofs are made of Plywood (or more modernly OSB) but this one was 12 in

It's on the wrong side of the tracks, but not the worst part of the 'wrong side of the tracks', and it's two blocks from the police station.
Pluses--Big corner lot, 2000 sq ft, siding, roof, and windows and doors look okay.
Minuses--Haven't been inside (dear god what is in there!), it's on the corner of *Jonathan St.*. THE bad street of Athens, but not on the worst end of it. Severely overgrown garden, scary carport storage-thing, bad view off the back end of the property (pit bull and a broke down car, seriously). Weird layout; it's got 4 entrances into the house, and three of them are on one s

There's stuff about the seal.
There's stuff about the Kyuubi.
*It says who the hell Madara is!*
I squealed and frightened my husband across the room with this one.
Jiraiya is leaving something important outside of his body in case he dies--I thought previously that he wouldn't die in his upcoming fight with Pain but...
:lightbulb!: Gasp! I just had a realization.
I'm not going to spoil it for you
Absolutes and other things... by FelixTheAnimator, journal
Absolutes and other things...
For a little over a month now I've been working on the pencils for a comic called 'Absolutes' written by my wonderfully talented husband, Gareth. I thought I'd let you guys know that they (the pencils, not the whole book sadly) are nearing completion.
Though it is being produced for print, and thus will likely never be seen on DevArt, I figured I'd tell you a little bit about it. It's a traditional superhero thing for the most part--without all the parts that tick me right the heck off about those big comic companies, and it's been described as both 'classic and modern' by a local comic afficianado.
The story and paneling style is a lot '

Let's see... I've got eight more pages of 'Absolutes' to draw (just pencils) & about 4 and a half days to do them in... I want to get them done before I accept a void battle with Lord_Onyx's Takk, which I have to accept or deny by Sunday.
It's been too long since I've had a battle, so I can't in good conscience say no, but I don't even have a plan or story idea.
*sigh* I'll just concentrate on 'Absolutes' until it's finished, we'll see after that.
