    I can't even draw, let alone animate. I can't open a DAW and make a cartoon. My best option would probably be 3D animation but it hasn't clicked with me yet.

    even if i had a good idea, i have neither the manpower nor the resources to make a full cartoon. ;_;.
    it would have to be a very simple cartoon.

      left looks great.
      right is a prime example of how the line-art/clean-up stage of making art can ruin a good sketch

    Have been working on what I only describe as a spiritual successor to all of those 2000s animated movies I remember being obsessed with like Shrek and Ice Age. Complete with Pop culture references and licensed music needledrop scenes and everything.
    However I am spending more time working on character designs rather than actually writing the script.
    I have 10 pages worth of character designs and other concept art yet only two pages of the script actually completed.
    That's what really holding me back
    I have all the necessary ingredients, I just need to actually cook.

      This is why artists who want to make a web series should get a co creator who writes.

      Go to Cinemaphile for writting
      Cinemaphile would probably also be better for learning to direct.
      It's not that those skills are unnecessary but learning resources would be on other boards.

      Wrong, YouTube also has a cottage industry for directing and writing (for books and short films) . It's just smaller.

        Man, I can't believe Mick turned out to be a weirdo.
        I remember everyone hating him on sleepycabin, but he felt like the one cool normie friend you have that goes along with your dumb shit.
        Watching old eps hindsight is 20/20, you could tell Stamper was an alcoholic/addict, you could tell Mick was always just acting nice.

    Marks cartoon can't compete with this years heavy hitters (Lackadaisy, Punch Punch Forever) so I'm assuming he'll pussy out and release it next year.
    Sad!
    It'll be complete amateur garbage regardless but the lack of advertisement and blatant hesitation to release it only shows it's going to be mediocre, bland and most devastating to it's future success: boring.

        It's not to mock him or make fun of him, but these character designs are simply too bland and boring, they look like far in the distance backgrounds characters, not protagonists

    I'd rather just start making my webcomic again to be honest, it's significantly easier for only one person to make, and I don't have to worry about voice actors, music, and other shit shit that doesn't involve drawing, animating or writing

    Mark’s pilot failing would probably be the funniest thing since Daftpina’s downfall because it would just go to show that nobody likes Butch Hartman-esque bland cartoons anymore.

    Dude also took multiple small artists’ designs and purposely made them shittier too. If I was one of them, I’d probably be really pissed.

    I don't know.
    I know how to animate. I've known how to for years and for over half a decade I've wanted to make my own cartoon, but animating just doesn't interest me anymore. It's just not... technical? Like I feel like I'm learning nothing from spending my time animating, it is just pure labor. Spending a year of my life just to create one cartoon? I'm just not passionate enough to do that. Not trying to sound pretentious but it's not an intellectually stimulating activity. Maybe I'd be up for doing something limited like Homestar Runner but that initial spark animation had for me is gone. It's depressing. I wish I was passionate about it again, I tied a huge part of my identity to animating, but I can't muster up much enthusiasm for it at all now. It's just that I spent over half a decade wanting to create a full cartoon and I just never did. Do I really want to create cartoons or do I just like the idea of it? I envy the passion of other animators who genuinely love making this stuff. I see shit like Ongezellig and it's just so inspiring to me. For a brief moment I feel like I want to animate again, but then my apathy towards it sets back in. I wish I could trick my brain into enjoying it again, but for now I think I'm done. I don't even frequent Cinemaphile much anymore. This is the first time I've been here in weeks. I mostly use the video game boards now. Maybe if I'm too stupid for game dev I'll come back to animation. Either way I would need to speed up the process and make it actually stimulating for myself again.

    I'm busy as hell right now, to say the very least. My interest in drawing and animating is also dying off, so I'd rather spend my little free time on other things. Wouldn't be opposed to making something on the side if things get more stable for me one day.
