This cartoon is about the character Vinnie 'the chik' Costello. Voice acted by our own Wesker! Who is doing a great job, and really nailed this character.
I will be updating this topic as stuff happens, a making of topic. A detailed one too.
Even though he is small he has a big personality. At a young age, Vinnie knew he had to use his brains not muscle to be a wise guy. But don't take him for a push over, if you get him fired up your in trouble.
ALSO I MIGHT NEED VOICES FOR SOME SMALLER ROLES. If anyone is interested in auditioning. This is going to be my toughest cartoon yet, and I hope you all will enjoy it!

#2 is good if you are going for a blue bird, #1 looks most like a chick. Chicks are yellow. sometimes white if they are albino. but in conclusion of my essay here, I believe you should go with chick number 1

Here is the thing, vinnie is really a bird, but he looks like a chick. He uses paint to disguise himself to pretend to be a chick. This is still up in the air, all i know. I don't want him to be too common.

your right fw, lol
an animator i know said this about vinnie
"From everything I've seen of this character and setup I think you've got a real winner here. Vinnie and friends looks to be a very commercial-friendly project... with a potential for mass appeal.
i am thinking i might try it with a different background, i kinda want to have only one that i would use on all vinnie episodes, then the episode itself have one based on the episodes theme hope that makes sense :)

Just takes time and practice.. When ever you start something new you tend to not understand, therefore just make something crappy because you don't want to put the time into it because you are unsure of what you are doing. practice fixes that though.
But kinjo made me a pretty awesome background for my game, dont think he really needs one he is an amazin artist

Meh, I just never know what i want as a background ;P characters are so easy for me to think up, while settings are so much harder

Post by: kinjo on April 16, 2010, 09:04:29 AM
well settings are not that bad for me, its just coloring them and giving them shading, depth. is too hard, because i don't know how i can outline them easy
(http://4mchan.org/Forum/gallery/2_15_04_10_9_57_05.jpeg) Here is a fbi truck that is going to be following the police cars in the 3rd scene. :cool:
