Yay! The episode of Bravest Warriors I worked on is out! I did a very detailed storyboard for the door transformation effects animation. Looks like they used my CatBug dimension warping effect too! Be on the lookout for a really obvious Kyle pose as the Warriors brace themselves while the doorway screams.

Hey artisty-types! I need your help! As most of you know, I make a webcomic with my friend :iconjeibi: called "Frog Raccoon Strawberry" [link] .
Normally, John takes my roughs and does the character cleanup and color. We're trying to kick off a new animated project, so I need some folks to volunteer to take on that duty. I'll need someone for next week's strip, and could use people for the next several. I can't pay (we don't get paid), but you'll get a featured credit and will gladly advertise your link on Dumm Comics. Please know that I will be selective. I'll allow many different cleanup styles, but if you're not up to our quality standard, our readers will fuss. They'll fuss. If you've Helpertoned before and want to do it again, don't hesitate to let me know!

UPDATE:
Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'll be contacting several of you in the coming weeks. :)

WOW. So, the funny fellas at Game Grumps facebook'd this thing here and I've got all sorts'a new followers! Thanks for the support, guys! I thing Game Grumps is funny as hell, and am in full support of anything that allows two dudes to make a living by playing video games publicly.

A little intro to my existo patronus: My name is Kyle A Carrozza, and I'm a professional-type cartoony man! I've storyboarded for Nickelodeon's Fanboy & Chum Chum and Disney's Fish Hooks. I made a cartoon short for Nick called MooBeard the Cow Pirate which you can find on the very Tubes of You.
For several years, I've been doing a webcomic called Frog Raccoon Strawberry with my good friend :iconjeibi: which you can find at Dumm Comics ---> [link]
I also record goofy songs under the name TV's Kyle. I put them out every month at The FuMP [link] and put out albums at Bancamp: [link]

If any of you are reading this who are visiting from FB and have a Tumblr rather than a DA account, I'm over there too! [link]

If you're staying for the ride, welcome! If not, thanks for stopping by, homies!

Ok, I'm going to do something fairly self-serving here, but it'll really help me out if you're willing to help.

As many of you reading these words know, I've been developing a concept called Go-Rama for several months. I've begun pitching it and will be pitching it to various places. (Please don't ask where.) For those who know what it is and like it, it would really help to know what you like about it. What things about this concept do you like? What about it gets you excited? What makes you want to see it on your TV?

(For those who don't like it, that's cool. You're welcome to that. Please sit this journal out.)

UPDATE: Thanks everyone. I'm feeling much more ready to kick butt and receive names by force. Y'all are good to me. :)

I want a new journal up, yet I'm swamped getting ready to pitch stuff next week... So... hi!

Actually, my swampedness leads me to what may be an interesting topic: What do y'all do when you need to really buckle down and focus on a project? For me, when I need to work intensely, I put on some music that makes me feel like a mighty robot. I make a playlist of stuff like Go! Team, Daft Punk, Justice, and Anamanaguchi, then I put my headphones on even if there's no one around. It helps me get into the zone and get stuff done.

What do you guys do?

What's your favorite movie by Wes Anderson? Mine is probably "The Darjeeling Limited," though "Rushmore" is a very close 2nd favorite.

Would Go-Rama still be Go-Rama without the Slaminals and had a different (simpler) power instead?
