    Digital Download

    So I’m excited to give digital downloads a shot, it just something very simple and free so there should be no worries.
    But I tested it out myself and it seems to run very smoothly at this point, but if any errors do occur such as the email didn’t sent you the download or a page in the process to complete the occur failed to load then I need to make sure I iron out those bugs before I take it to the next step of paid products just yet.

    I do hope the Twitter template helps out anyone working on a new banner for there Twitter page!

    So I figured since I do have this blog section that I should use it to show special updates that I then can re-link to other social pages, and even you guys can if you really like something I post! 🙂

    One of the things I’ve been working on for a bit was Marty’s Hair as in my past two animations “Press Esc” and “Robostatic” never really had hair unless you want to count Carl’s Mustache. So I wanted to try and create a bit more realistic type hair, without going overboard as he is still a cartoon. But this is giving me a chance to play around with the Maya nHair and I’ve already learn a bit of stuff in the process which is great, but has also been annoy as results took longer then I thought. So as a bit of a bonus I’m going to show what the hair looks like below and would love to hear what people may think of it.
    Catch ya’ on the next update toonsters!

  • Updating Future

    So I thought I had this site figured out, I thought it was going to be amazing; and it was, to an certain level.
    Now I went back a little more into it and found a much more better interface to use that can still display my work, and many other little functions I hope to use, such as the new personal shop option for any CartoonistDude products.

    I have the idea of selling some of my physical pieces of artwork such as paintings and doodles I’ve done which isn’t easy to do all on spreadsheets. But using my own website, it opens many more possibilities and I get the full cut of what you pay, meaning things can be a bit cheaper here! (Spreadshirt just gives me a small percentage of what you pay)

    I also going to try having a forum section, I’m not sure how “kewl” or useful it may be, so I’m going to be putting into the testing stage. If all it just gets is a lot of spam, or nothing at all, I’m going to take as a failed attempt. I mean there Facebook and YouTube to comment on what you like so it really might not be needed.
    SPEAKING of comments, you can now comment on posts again!

    Also having to slowly re-upload some of my existing pieces of work as it did change the formula on that too, but hopefully for the better.
    But from here on, I hope to start posting more updates here on the blog with new pieces of work that just don’t fit the portfolio section yet, as well as any new videos I post, as those can get lost easily behind in Facebook/twitter/YouTube.

    For now, enjoy what there is to see, and be sure to register! [hope that’s working by this point!]
