I always wanted to work on animated shows.
After high school (oh, good old days), I was accepted in some art universities, but I definitely could not afford any, so instead of giving up I decided to buy a few cartooning books and study on my own.
Then time went by so fast, I have been trying and improving for so many years now, and yet I am still not good enough to be a pro...
It's hard to see all those artists here making so much more impressive art than what I do. But dreams cannot be fulfilled by giving up, so I'll just keep on trying and improving, again and again.
Lately I mostly worked on little video games for tablets and browsers, but these mostly show my coding abilities, not my drawing and animating abilities. (I will post these here when I can.)
Now I will have to work seriously on an animation short to show what I am able to.
Favourite Movies
those stupid old 80's/90's horror movies
Favourite TV Shows
Hundreds of awesome animated series I love so much... But what I love the most are those very old 30's 40's musical cartoons made by Van Beuren, the Fleischers, and the very first Walt Disney shorts, those were MAGIC.
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
Oldschool 90's eurodance and hardcore, the Beatles, trance, Simple Plan, Limp Bizkit, Rob Zombie, some charleston, old 50's and 60's things, and piano... Yeah, I like various styles of music, mostly old things, nowadays music sucks.
