what's hot ... What do you think the issue of OGL and Cavazos? by Juanele
I think Oscar troublemaker free. While no one disputes that have had staying power to continue Karmatron not have to denigrate the work that the rest of us ... above all, speaking of those who do (we) webcomic. Hopefully no one will want to note that bad, but it must be reciprocal.
Cavazos is the creator of a wide strip is totally different from what you might happen to Oscar, Bachan, to you or me, and for that unique perspective on what should be in a comic has been so successful in its niche .
In fact, the webcomic is based on that, exactly, to do stories for specific niches. I think the period of history for all is a thing of the past, and what our role is to find what our niche and exploit it. Black Horse is a very comic Piggy, creative, mature, definitely, and he has made of followers. I hope someday to be as recognized ... though admittedly with much else I do, too little time to devote to nothing about politics.

that coffee is the one you like? or where you've taken the best coffee?
I think the best coffee I've taken is in the Parish Lecherito H. Veracruz ... in fact, I bought real coffee house that shipped with your brand and has gone very well.
--------------- Who do you admire in Animation?
thing I love about animation is that it is a team effort, you can not make an animated movie with a single artist, how good it is ... but, speaking of names, it kills me Disney animation, with artists like Glen Keane, Andreas Deja, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Sergio Pablos, James Baxter, Bill Tytla, and the work of director Brad Bird.

What was your first brush with the animation? With "first touch" I mean the first memory you have Animation ... by JaimOrtiz
Uh, I remember seeing a animated series (and I apply the term very lightly) I think a character named Rex Cargo or something, they were drawn, but the mouths were filmed real actors, and it looked really grim. I was ñáñara see, but somehow morbid, I could not change or turn off the TV, lol.
Another early memory is watching the U.S. animated series ... as 8 years I lived in Monterrey, and by some oddity of the weather, if turned on the TV early, wave 6-7am, they could tune channels in Texas and the signal was lost as at 10am. On the weekend I woke up early to watch cartoons gringos, and I remember that I liked much the feeling of seeing something that nobody else could see (of course, at that time I had not even heard of cable TV).
I also remember that since I noticed the tiny difference of the series well made and ultra-crappy series of the late 70s and 80s. I loved watching the old episodes of Looney Toons, the Chuck Jones .. Scooby Doo and hated that.

If you have questions xD but you're serious you think it is hard to learn design in Mexico? Or something that only a few can say is his true calling? by ciudadanaherze
Hmm ... this is a matter of philosophical position, almost.
one hand, I've always thought that design, as in drawing, the talent is coming from the factory, and during the race to design do not learn to design, but simply refined and bring a skill, adding tools and criteria aesthetics, functionality, meaning, etc. That allows you, when you finish your career, you get much more effective designs that you could do at the beginning ... but do you really learn to design?
However, on the other hand, this improvement is not just learning? Maybe learn more about others, inevitably, but in the end, leave the race doing a better job than he entered.
you, how do you see?

--------------- How did you learn to animate? I mean ... we are in Mexico. by SENIcomic
learned, first, seeing all the documentaries I could find on the Disney animation process ... but they were not really tutorials, they were just to have a look for fans. However, something learned, not just the animation itself, but the entire process from planning and storyboarding to editing and audio. Back then it was a fight to find material, maybe that's why now I love almost all DVDs to bring a lot of material, many featurettes of "making such" ...
After that, my first animation job seriously, I learned the style master / apprentice, in a study called The Mother of Tarzan (do not laugh, THAT was the name), working as an assistant animator. There had to do merge and clean-up of the animators really good scenes, particularly Adolfo Diaz, a maestrazo, which taught me heaps. Also the owner of the studio, Enrique Navarrete, taught me much, then corrects up details I thought were ridiculous, but in retrospect I served me well.
After that, I was fortunate to work again with Henry and Adolfo, but as an entertainer. There, I learned a lot just working. Each project has a lot to teach, if you open your eyes.
I've heard of many schools of animation, or entertainment programs in universities, but the plain truth, I have no information about their curricula and that, so I could not recommend how to learn animation taking advantage of these opportunities. We will have to learn by doing, right?

but I also read The Trial u_u but hey, apart from those journals of "gentlemen" what kind of literature do you like? I refer to novels, stories, and mentions your authors =) by ciudadanaherze
Umm ... actually, I like almost all books, jejejeje. Of course, first I'm a fan of fantasy and Sci-Fi, beginning with JRR Tolkien and his wonderful Lord of the Rings. A sci-fi author I love is Orson Scott Card, who wrote a saga that began with Ender's Game, and I was caught in an impressive way. Hmm ... also Timothy Zahn, who wrote the saga Thrawn for Star Wars, perhaps the best expanded universe novels ... clear, I also liked the Harry Potter saga, so I can not be said to be terribly demanding when it comes to fun. Of course I like chute Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, who impressed me greatly. Well, there is everything.
One author I read was just starting adolescence Robert Ludlum, whose novels based on the films of Jason Bourne .. which, although well made, they fall short (to my taste) about the novels. Of these, highlight and The Matarese Circle The Holcroft Covenant. Delicious.
I have not read the Twilight, but from what they did to tell me level concept of vampires, I feel like. I love Bram Stoker's Dracula, and for me, THAT is a vampire. I also enjoyed Interview with the vampire Lestat by Ann Rice, but then bought another, now to forget the title, and finished it just for discipline, but it was disastrous.
a child, I read a thousand times and the Black Corsair Pirates of Mompracem, Emilio Salgari, and the cowboys series of Karl May (The train robbers, in the lion's den, the death of the hero Winnetou's will .) In fact, the illustrations accompanying this latest installment and the Corsair the copied so many times that much influenced my way of drawing. They were beautiful pictures in pencil, with great detail and that made me to dream of adventures at sea or tour the American plains on horseback. Ah, what memories!
Apart from that, one of my favorite books is Cosmos, Carl Sagan. Scientific dissemination of the best, and also had a brutal impact on my thinking and understanding the world.
As a kicker, I had the knack of reading available through ... had a call the New Treasures of Youth, and the other was The Book of the Year X (you know, one per year).
Now, I read lots of blogs and webcomics. The most important seems to me to recommend, because it combines science with humor and wit, is Bad Astronomer, Phil Plaitt. 'Nuff said.

2d animation having talent in Mexico, why be that studies that are doing 2D animation lengths not invest in talent animation? Do you agree with what I say? by eggstraordinair
I agree with what you say ... and the reason is: money.
animation costs, a lot. You need talented, highly specialized, and for a long time. Not just in animation, even in character design, art, storyboard, layout, voice acting ... and above all that, the animators. All it costs a varote, and studies in Mexico do not invest much in each film. One reason is that it is VERY difficult to recoup the investment. Another reason is that hard to find enough staff ...
Now, we know that animation is cheaper in Mexico than in USA, by simple cost of labor. However, even ignoring that, the time spent here and there makes all the difference in the world, to achieve quality.
In USA, an animated film takes two years of preproduction, including script, art design, characters, animatic, layout and voices. Besides, the animation takes another two years to produce a 85 min.
In Mexico, a typical animated movie takes about six months of preproduction and starts to cheer as soon as the characters are designed so that it connects with the pre-production time. Then, there are about seven, eight months to animate. That is, total time for art and animation is one year, maybe. Of course, as everything is done running, you have to do a thousand corrections, but more to the race. Considered
all that talent really does not matter you may have. If you do not have enough time to work, no matter you're the Leonardo DaVinci of the animation, the work will be of poor quality. Courtesy
