Wow, it's been too long since I've updated my journal. Aw well, on with the show.
This was stolen from delSHARK, because there's no such thing as journal theft here on dA.
RULES: Post 10 art facts about you. Put them into the journal and inform them that they've been tagged.
1. VOID FACT: Nutty the Squirrel was originally supposed to be a cartoon rabbit named Hoppy Hare. However, I changed it to keep away from being compared to Walt Disney's Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
2. I have been enjoying cartoons since childhood, however starting from 1998, "anime" has taken control of my brain. And because of the childish "Cartoons are for kids" theory, I had begun hating anything Disney-related as well. It wasn't until 2003-04 that I would finally come back into the wonderful world of cartoons, special thanks to my animation class in high school.
3. VOID FACT: Nutty the Squirrel wasn't inspired only by old black-and-white cartoon characters of the 1920s-30s. His personality, for starters, was inspired by the creative minds of Chuck Jones and Tom Rueggers.
4. Animation class back in high school not only got me back to cartoons, but also played a major part at helping me draw better, even though I wasn't as good at animating at the time.
5. VOID FACT: The now-dead Void fighter Dolly was thought up from an idea for the now-dead series of mine entitled "Jack's World". The idea was that Reath had a very large family tree beside him, and one of his many cousin's children was a pink, cute little girl that would become Dolly and a blue little boy just about the same age with a propeller cap on, which would later become Renny.
6. After graduating from high school was when I started changing my ways. At the fall of '04 was when I started changing my art style from the badly-drawn "anime-esque" look to a more lively-looking cartoony look. This art style was first inspired by Chuck Jones, then it started changing later on with more detail and effort put into it.
7. VOID FACT: Nutty the Squirrel's original bio tells about how a person covered in black gave Nutty information about how he can raise back to stardom just by find a retired executive producer hidden in the depths of Void City. This started with an idea where Nutty would find this "executive producer" in an abandon warehouse, however he finds out that this hidden person was actually Warner Brothers producer Ron Myrick and he captures Nutty and experiments him in a secret lab to make a clone of what he thinks will be the next "big hit" of a WB cartoon. The result was an all-futuristic looking Nutty in parody to the old character designs of Loonatics: Unleashed, going by the name "Nutz Squirrel". He somehow betrays Myrick, kills him and escapes the lab, where he would be suspected as a threat for EnterVoid's annual big battle called Armageddon. This idea was later dropped and will change the bio once EnterVoid is back up.
8. VOID FACT: The person covered in black in Nutty's bio was actually another toon character I created named Emily Bee. The original idea was that Emily was ordered by Ron Myrick to send Nutty to Void City in order to find him and capture him. She releases Nutty from the lab after Nutz escaped. After that idea dropped, I've decided to turn her into a Void fighter herself. She was to be a pupil of Nutty, with him as the teacher, teaching her the ways and basics of being a cartoon. That idea was also dropped because it was a stupid story, and Emily possibly wouldn't make it as a Void Fighter because of the fact that she's just a female version of Nutty, by power and appearance comparisons. Instead, I will be putting her in Void City as a supporting character rather than a fighter.
9. I got my first Wacom tablet on Christmas Day of 2003, however I didn't use it as much until the end of 2004. On August 2005, I ordered a tablet PC laptop in replacement of my old tablet. On July 2006, I've ordered a new wireless Wacom tablet that runs under Bluetooth technology
10. I got my first computer back in '94, where it was computer for my entire family to use. It was a Packard Bell that ran on Windows 3.1. On 1999, we got a new PC, a HP Pavilion that ran under Windows 98 (now runs under Windows 2000, in replacement of the old one which was now dead and unable to work. It wasn't until the end of 2003 that a good friend of mine built a computer for my personal belongings (runs under Windows XP) for only $300. And I still use it ever since.
That seems to rap it up here.
