This was adorable, I love these guys now.

You run a risk posting these WIP's, because your brain is gonna get that endorphin kick from showing a half-completed piece of work. That'll lead to burnout, and unfinished projects. I know, because I've flatly canceled projects that I spent months working on, because I kept showing unfinished stuff to friends and family and they were all praises "Wow, that looks really cool! You should finish it!" And I was like "I know right?" Got the endorphin kick from the praise, and shelved it.

How much time, daily, do you spend on this character's hair animation?

It looks great as it is! But you and I both know there's still a lot of work to be done. So how is that budgeted in your schedule?

In the time spent exporting this, could you have finalized a couple of frames?

This doesn't look significantly different from the one you posted last month. You've just added more to the scope of your project that you still need to color and in-between and tidy-up.

Try to abstain from posting more WIPS, and try instead to get that endorphin kick from the finished product.

It looks skillfully done, but WIPS are easy. Completion is hard. Completion is the most skillful thing you could do. Strive for completion, you got this!

So, I guess that's an interesting perspective you have there, so thanks for that.

But perhaps its more of a case of that in your life experience of doing stuff, and motives, you experience it as this endorphin kick thing. But, for my personally, art isn't about endorphin kicks. Its something u just gotta do, otherwise u can;t live with yourself... or at least in my personal experience as myself.

If I want/need an endorphin kick, I can just go do a T5 Legendary Raid in Pokemon Go during Raid Hour w my neighbors & friends, or play Community Day n catch Shiny Pokemon.

I'm trained OLD SCHOOL from the 20th century, and I learned to animate the way Disney Animators did ON PAPER, which was how I did it for several years. When u animate TRADITIONALLY on PAPER with PENCILS u constantly NEED TO, and ARE REQUIRED TO, do a Pencil Test which was shot on a VHS Penciltest machine. N this could be done dozens upon dozens of time.

I was trained FOR QUALITY and NOT QUANTITY because in the 90s it was an Animation Renaissance. I went to college for all the reasons an aspiring artist back then was supposed to do, but when I graduated in 2001 EVERYTHING GOT OUTSOURCED and they would ONLY HIRE MEN, and they would NOT hire you if you had skills better than themselves because they FEARED u would take their jobs. There were VERY NASTY THINGS SAID TO ME, and even Disney would harass me (long screwed up story) to work for them FOR NOTHING and legally sign over ALL OF MIGHT RIGHTS TO THEM, but I refused to do that. I was told that the reason I wouldn't get hired was because they wanted to watch porn at work, and having me THERE would make them "feel uncomfortable" (because they were all men). This was told to me repeatedly, because I knew folks whom worked in the big animation studios in Burbank back then, as well as NYC, and many other studios everywhere long before everything got outsourced overseas.

Honestly, I just post the videos, and there's a process of review, and I'm doing so many other things simultaneously. I have a bad spine, and I don't have a job. I just spent nearly a month visiting with my parents down South, and just before THAT I did Hoenn Tour/Go [Pokemon Go] Tour which was exhausting & BELOW FREEZING, so I have no idea what happened once I posted my video.
So, there's no motives of endorphins on my part.

Also my shortfilm, which won a lot of award at so many Film festivals that my email kept getting flooded for over a year for requests to screen my film became such a nuisance, that it was like hoards of scouts hounding me on social media, and due to contract stuff w the festivals, I couldn't submit my film to FilmHUB until the end of the year.... then THAT was a load of work, plus I had to help my filmmaker friends with THEIR film stuff on IMDb since I had to learn ALL OF THAT, and since I knew it by then I had to help out, since I'm too nice, n most people r lazy, and want INSTANT GRATIFICATION.

I don't care about whether people like it or not. I usually get hate comments, trolls, and bullying children whom pretend they are adults and publish very badly drawn porn on their profiles, and demand I like EVERY SINGLE sick twisted porn pic as tho they're SO ORIGINAL, and how dare I NOT WORSHIP THEM??? because libido and FAME is ALL that matters... so whatever.

My art has nothing to do with the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of others, and even if people hate it, that doesn't mean I must discontinue making my art.

I'm NOT interested in fame, fortune, or praise. Because if that's what I wanted, I would just be a liar and ONLY making art to appease others, while lying and being a fraud not just to them but myself.

If people don't respect me, then I can't make them. If people don't love me, I can't force them to. And even if you COULD force people to do that it would NOT be because they love or respect you, its because YOU FORCED THEM TO. Then it wouldn't be genuine, and I have no interested in that.

You don't seem to be trying to give me guff, so I hope I'm not coming off like I'm biting ur head off. But fame is NOT everything. I was pretty famous in the 2000s and I NEVER want to go through THAT HELL ever again. The kinds of leaches, and stalkers, and terrorists, and horribly bad stuff done to me, my daughter, my husband, my neighbors, and even my computers.

Girls (plural) demanding attention 24/7 while holding themselves hostage that if u DON'T DO IT they will suicide. And VERY CREEPY MEN telling me WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TO ME just because they liked my art, or my photography, or the look of my face, hands, or breasts. Or people that are well established in the industry but want me to be their side piece, and tell me elaborate stories about past lives, and fate & destiny (not just 1 guy, but its like a thing many do, like some pick-up-line thing they think THEY INVENTED) EVEN THO I AM MARRIED.

The point of doing art is TO DO IT.
The point of listening to music is to do it. You don;t just play the song and then skip all the way to the ending.
The point of doing yoga, or meditation, or whatever is NOT getting some other thing out of it, its to do it. You don't do yoga or meditation JUST because u want some benefit.
YOU JUST DO IT.

Honestly, the bulk of my time lately, if its not my local Pokemon Go Community which I get so much value out of, it usually my research & philosophy.

I don't want to be stuck in this life, in this world, but I'm trapped here. We're ALL TRAPPED HERE, and it wants u to suffer, and farm your suffering, like The Matrix, or Plato's cave. N even if u r lucky enough to finally die for an instant, it shoves you back into this prison of so many layers of deception.

So, I only have half of my life left to live, and this time I want to actually try to find the exit out, so I don't have to be reborn again into this THING. I think I was VERY CLOSE to actually getting out of this prison the last time, and even if whatever I have to contribute to the other researcher philosophers helps others after me, then so be it. But I REALLY DO NOT EVER WANT TO BE REBORN because THIS IS NOT BASE REALITY.
-and I SAW IT. (even the math shows it)

This is NOT the real world, and its INSANE on the daily, now.

Anyways, I'm sorry if I come off the wrong way. I'm NOT angry with you. And, I'm sorry if I rubbed u the wrong way.

You can say whatever u wish. I'm NOT Anti-Free Speech, so I respect your free will.

My impression is that u meant well from your perspectives, so I thank you for taking the time to express it. And I do appreciate the gesture.

Congratulations, Mike! This is momentum onto the next big milestone, just stay on it! And remember- you are not alone! You got a helluva support system at your wingtips!

U R Number 1!

N is for Nightmare
Or potentially to Never Sleep At The Wheel.

Also HOLY CRUD, FINALE TRILOGY AHOY!

Fond fond fond memories of Season Three and Season Four of the Cyanide & Happiness show. You really brought Zach Hadel's Genie to life, and it was a great touch of flair to his character acting in The Stockholms' finale.

Shocked to see how much of this has my Dad in it. I love that Orca King, and I miss the hell out of Wheelcharles- one of my favorite roles I've ever voiced.

It's been such an honor working with you, dude. I can't wait to see what you bring to life in the future!

Delfrig responds:

Same, man! I was having flashbacks to all the all-nighters working on the C&H Show (especially Season 3). Really good times.

And yeah, we always cast your dad as either an invisible narrator or an extremely visible giant celestial being.

It's been an honor working with you too, dude. I'm waiting to see the next Phobotech drop too! I was watching through all your old posts the other day and they were KILLING me. The door gag in "Repercussions of Evil" is so freaking funny.

Oh wow, welcome back! Seeing this in my feed brightened an otherwise horrible week, so seeing and hearing these familiar idiots was long overdue and earnestly welcomed. I hope there's plans over the horizon for your return- either with a new IP or a return to form with some animalistic retardation. In the long run, you have always been, and shall continue to be a legend, and a hero in the eyes of Newgrounders around the world. Godspeed, Dave.

FUCK YEAH, keep it going! Let's run the roster of demons!

Also if you need a voice talent for a demon, soldier, or AI, I'm more than down to pitch in for the credit!

I didn't see that one coming! And neither did he!

Dude, this looks great! Are you going to be making it a regular thing to remix Bigfoot Justice comics into short animations? If you need an extra voice for something, I'd gladly help any way I could.

Delfrig responds:

Thanks, man! Yeah I'm definitely gonna be making more of these. I've been digging through and "casting" old comics and was gonna bother you eventually for some VO.

Holy smokes, this looked amazing! Keep going! Keep achieving! Don't stop!

Gratz on the Daily 3rd! This was spot-on!

Little-Rena responds:

Thank you very much!

-This is Phobotech!-
I've done animatics for Cyanide & Happiness, Purgatony, and WWE Storytime! I'm also a voice actor that's performed roles in One Piece, Gundam: Witch from Mercury, & Smite!
Check out my sci-fi novel, Umbra's Legion on Amazon Kindle!
