User blog:Bonkilemonster/Total Drama Gone Wild: Progress! (No.4)

Heeey there people! :D I know, it's been a time since I posted my last blog but just because some problems that'll explain later in a full subject. So, this blog series is a progress issue for my animated 'fanfiction' called Total Drama Gone Wild! Let's begin! :D

'''Attention - if you want to skip the long paragraphs, then go to the "fast recap" section in the end of every few paragraphs! This will be easier and faster to read (: Enjoy!!'''

General
Last week problems solutions: Last week I showed you some problems, and you were AWESOME!!! I got so many comments and support and solutions, it was really amazing to see how many of you wrote a long helpful comment just to help this series. Even the short comments helped and were amazing to see! :D Anyway, I figured out the elimination order just right and it's just thanks to you! Next, the huge voice actors problem, that so many of you guys said you would love to audition an participate even for close to zero charge! So, all the voice acting thing will be explained in a different blog all about that, probably when I'll have the first episode script finished. :D

The cast is finished! What I mean by that is that the all of the 19 contestants have personality, rough design, plots and exact placement on the elimination order! So, instead of making you bored with more 'I can't tell' plot progress, I'll revale most of characters names! Just for fun... (: Chad, Maia, Jade, Nate, Tim, Daniel, Iris, Nicole, Remi, Diana, Brandon, S-Deezy, Celia and Bobby Joe (not sure about that name, it may change) - there are still 5 characters left unnamed, and will get a name later.

Fast recap:
You guys helped so much in last week blog, and the voice acting problem has been solved, a different 'blog series' will be posted as soon as episodes 1 script is done, all about the subject of how and when to audition for the voice acting (: The cast is finished! Here's the name of most of the named characters: Chad, Maia, Jade, Nate, Tim, Daniel, Iris, Nicole, Remi, Diana, Brandon, S-Deezy, Celia and Bobby Joe (not sure about that name, it may change) - there are still 5 characters left unnamed, and will get a name later.

"The Superstitions Believer" - Tim
Tim is a very special guy for me, his personality and outer look is very similar to myself (except I don't wear glasses), and he is a really unique character. Let's get to know him!

General info: Tim is a superstitions freak, now if you don't know what superstitions are, they are long lasting beliefs about small things in your life that may happen and change your life for the good or for the bad. For example, as you can see in the picture to the right, Tim is holding a 4-leaf clover, which is a sign for luck and kind of a good luck charm. Same for the horseshoe drawing on Tim's shirt, it said to bring luck. Tim is a little bit shy and knows that not a lot like him, because his unusual life style, all based of his belief in superstitions. But that, he's smart, has a sense of humor, and interesting. Please do not count him as the new 'Harold', because he isn't a Harold styled nerd.

Design: Tim is very skinny, which kind of makes him a little more less secure about himself. He has black slightly long hair, black glasses, a sharp nose, blue T-Shirt and blue long jeans with a pair of blue and white shoes. His overall look is a little bit based of Link Neal, if any of you guys know him, just a younger version of him.



Do you like the design? What do you like more and what do you dislike about the design and character? How'a the rotation? Tell me in the comments! :D

Fast recap:
Meet Tim, the superstitions believer. While his weird and rare belief in superstitions makes him insecure about himself, he is still open and has a heart of gold. His appearance is based on Link Neal, a black hair, glasses, a blue T-shirt, a pair of plain jeans and large shoes. Tell me all your thoughts in the comments!

Stopping at a gas station?
So, this subject will be all about the title of the subject and why I haven't posted anything in 20 days. Let's start!

As you probably know, I design, animate and work in Adobe Flash Professional CC, it's an awesome software, maybe not the easiest to understand but definitely good for starter and not so starter animations. How is that related? Well, right after I finished designing Tim, I went to re-designing Daniel, a very fun and cute contestants that will be participating. My actual plan was to include her in this blog, but, as you can see, she isn't here. My Adobe software had a terrific problem that after a lot of trying to fix the problems - crashed and was deleted. I was left with no softwareto use. Of course, I tried working it again, but nothing worked, as well as trying to download older versions of the software - didn't work.

What I'm saying here is that I'm now stuck with a half of Daniel and no software to finish the unfinished character. I've found a solution for this problem, but, it'll take time and effort to make it work. I'm not completely stopping progress until I get my software back, I can still write scripts, do rough designs of the characters on paper and a lot more that I can do without the software. As for the title, I'm currently stopping at an imaginary gas station, filling my tank and coming back to the road as soon as I can. I don't have any questions to ask, this was just to let you guys know (:

Fast recap:
In the last couple of weeks, I had problems with mu editing, designing and animating program which made me unable to use the software. I'm currently trying to fix the problems or get a new one, but until I'll do it, there is time. This means that characters designs and a new blog will be appearing only in a couple of weeks and not next weekend. Though, I'll be able to do a lot of other stuff that will keep a good amount of progress. What I'm saying here, is that I'll make an unintentional stop for a little while.

That's it! Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment your thoughts! It supports, helps and just great in general :D Sorry I had 2 actual progress subject this time, instead of 4 actual progress...

Have a sparkling day!
