Cartoon whoredom

Posted by Doki Nov. 24, 2008 @ 7:42 PM EST

Currently I am working on 6 cartoons. 2 for the BBC and 4 for Playboy, yes PLAYBOY. These are all to be done by the end of the year. I wouldn't normally take on such a mammoth task, but I'm in need of money and thought it would be fun. It's not. I'm having to rush things a bit (like I did for Screenwipe a while back) and I'm not really having enough time to reflect. But always when I get myself into these things I tell myself that Salad Fingers 1 only took a day and a night to make. It reassures me that scrappily done, spontaneous cartoons with bad animation can sometimes turn out OK. Maybe they will.

Nov. 24, 2008 | 7:44 PM MichaelHurst says:

Geez Salad Fingers seems like it would take so much longer.

Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:22 PM Doki responds:

Episode 2 took 2 weeks


Nov. 24, 2008 | 7:45 PM Jynxxx says:

Wow one day. What a beast.
May I ask, wutcha doin' for Playboy?

Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:31 PM Doki responds:

Cumshots, blowjobs, facials.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 7:47 PM awesomecooper says:

Hopefully they will turn out good

Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:31 PM Doki responds:

That's the spirit.

PLAYBOY-LOL


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:09 PM aap says:

OMFG U SOLD UOT!

Haha, 6 cartoons for the end of the year. Poor David.

I only hope to finish ONE cartoon by the end of the year, and that might not even happen even though it's almost finished. Please tell me to go and work on it.

Anyway, I'm looking forward too see those cartoons. I have no idea what I should expect of those Playboy cartoons, haha.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:12 PM MindChamber says:

congrats doki, sounds like a fun gig, just dont forget about us :(


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:14 PM Fleek says:

Play boy wants the guy who does salad fingers? The fuck?


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:18 PM ixintro says:

I can't wait until I'm old enough to whore my cartoons out. :P


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:19 PM DariusR says:

Ever considered putting advertisements on your site

Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:28 PM Doki responds:

I have a google ad on every cartoon. I make about $10 a day. That's £5.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 8:46 PM Hammi says:

Playboy? Haha nice. Good luck Firth sir.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:07 PM RubberNinja says:

Oh man, you to with the Playboy?

Interesting.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:14 PM Kyaztro says:

Yeah, same thing with me, all my crap submissions that I made in one day or less have won awards while my week long projects suffer debilitating defeats in the portal


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:15 PM MaestroRage says:

you should put google ads on your site as well sir. I can't believe it took you only one day for SF1!!!

If you can do that, you can do anything, keep up the epix fight!

Also make an adult toon for NG, GUARANTEED you'll get like fiddy million dollars from views alone.

"What's that, author of SF DID PR0N!?!??"


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:30 PM I-fang says:

Will we (the foreigners) ever get a chance to see these, i mean if you have google ads its helps you to havemore views,right?
And well consider you popularity here on newgrounds


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:39 PM MrPantz says:

I knew it! You are making a burnt face man porno for playboy to sell!!!


Nov. 24, 2008 | 9:59 PM TheWalkingScout says:

Wow. Playboy. That sounds rather odd. Anyway I think Jerry Jackson should totally get a hold of a few of those Playboy Cartoons. Also out of curiosity why was your site down the last few days?

Nov. 24, 2008 | 10:18 PM Doki responds:

Jerry Jackson might be doing one of the BBC cartoons. My site was down due to "a little problem with the ISP" according to Nick, the guy who runs the servers. I don't know exactly what that means but it's back now.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 10:17 PM lenkobiscuit says:

Say Dave, what's your main job?

Nov. 24, 2008 | 10:29 PM Doki responds:

Car-jacking.


Nov. 24, 2008 | 11:07 PM just2pale says:

come on David... we all know you just mean. "Hey guys I am doing 6 animations,, and then take a break and look at playboy."

Its ok.. we understand lol

good luck man

pale


Nov. 24, 2008 | 11:09 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

playboy has been commissioning alot of animators as of late it seems. You, ross, hotdiggedy.
Then again, with the invention of the internet, who really needs a mag for porn anyway?


Nov. 24, 2008 | 11:39 PM PolishMatt says:

It only took an entire 24 hours to make one of the most iconic Flash animations of all time? Wow you're good. And you can make the dead line... I know it! Also, are the animations for Playboy, going to follow the tradition creepy look as all your Flash work in the past?


Nov. 24, 2008 | 11:58 PM Luis says:

do you get to visit the pb mansion?


Nov. 25, 2008 | 1:18 AM HotDiggedyDemon says:

FUCK YOU GOT MY DEAL AAAAAAAH

Ef you, firth


Nov. 25, 2008 | 1:35 AM Psycho-Pickle says:

Titties?


Nov. 25, 2008 | 3:04 AM TheMagicailLlama says:

So playboy eh? I have hard issues seeing you doing shit with playboy as your animations and style of animation are just so...not playboy I suppose. Ah well we all need to make money, If i had the skill and I was offered I'd accept.

What are you positioned as? (In other words, what do you have to animate there).

Nov. 26, 2008 | 12:54 PM Doki responds:

I would never do anything against my style for money. It's going to be nothing but my style. I was just asked to make some original content for their site.


Nov. 25, 2008 | 3:35 AM PrivateJoker92 says:

Are you gonna upload em here?

Are they gonna filter the content of what you put into them, or can you do whatever?


Nov. 25, 2008 | 4:00 AM MAYORMCHEESE says:

dude that Meet n Fuck guy is getting the SHAFT


Nov. 25, 2008 | 4:45 AM Hearny says:

Nicee! what channel for the BBC dev? is it BBC Three? or Four.

Playboy! is the money over £500 there paying you?

Good luck David Trumpet Fingers.

HEY WHY NOT MAKE TRUMPET FINGERS??? Make a few Cash out of that


Nov. 25, 2008 | 5:33 AM Alienslushie says:

Can you be my playboy?


Nov. 25, 2008 | 7:17 AM TheD-LucksEdition says:

I'd post the lyrics for Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, but that would be a waste of both our times.


Nov. 25, 2008 | 7:38 AM The-Wade-Birgade says:

Yeah I always underestimate my animation time, and I almost never make the deadline. :(


Nov. 25, 2008 | 7:46 AM LtMcMuffin says:

So I'm to understand you WON'T be the centerfold?


Nov. 25, 2008 | 9:35 AM haffee says:

That's a lot of work David. I hope you get to finish it off.


Nov. 25, 2008 | 6:56 PM PearConference says:

wonderful, more new stuff

have you made or are you making anything for the new series of screenwipe?

Nov. 26, 2008 | 12:51 PM Doki responds:

Nothing for Screenwipe this time. They didn't ask.


Nov. 25, 2008 | 7:51 PM Pacflip says:

Does that mean that you won't be making flashes for NG for a whole year?!


Nov. 25, 2008 | 7:53 PM Pacflip says:

How in the world did you get a job for PLAYBOY, and BBC?
It doesn't seem like any of your flashes are erotic by any means.
Unless you are doing PLAYBOY flashes for the freak show people.


Nov. 26, 2008 | 9:34 AM HLimmen says:

woah, Playboy lol.

What's the most money you ever got for a project? O.o


Nov. 26, 2008 | 10:49 AM TheTimeguru says:

Good luck chap!


Nov. 28, 2008 | 3:39 PM nietzlawe says:

What do the BBC want from you? Salad Fingers is BBC Three quality in my opinion, it is one of those cartoons that reaches out to people. Its not mindless either, it has a very humbling storyline.

6 flashes? that kind of pressure can eat a man alive and join the maggots in eating him when he is dead too. Despite what some folks say about the BBC, they do put out some high quality stuff over the years. I'd say, put most of your effort into the BBC work and be a bit more sporadic for the Playboy stuff. I mean cumshots, blowjobs and facials... does it really need much effort, unless you're planning to do a Ren and Stimpy type close up of bukkake scenes.

If you ever feel that it is hard work though, just cast your mind to scenes of long hours in a warehouse on despatch duty, that is a nightmare, especially when you get a knife put to your throat... that happened to me. I gave up 9 to 5 work after that moment and decided that even if I am homeless, hungry and dying... At least I will be able to spend all my time working on stuff that I enjoy doing, which is writing, script-writing. You should look [and you probably do] at your skill as a blessing, you can work on your terms, you are warm and safe and you are freely able to express animation as a medium for anything you so desire.

Be a cartoon whore, be George Whorewell's bitch because in the end my friend... you know it will pay off big time.


Nov. 28, 2008 | 3:47 PM Viva-la-Dodis says:

Ahhhhh.
I'm sorry you're not having fun making your ~animations. Don't rush yourself too much, take some David time and chill. I love all of your animations, scrappily done or not. I'm in love with your most recent, "Dog of Man". Good stuff, man. You're like, the biggest inspiration in my life, to be honest. Keep up the good work, don't stress yourself out too much, enjoy doing Playboy animations, as well as BBC cartoons.
-Devin.


Nov. 29, 2008 | 5:04 AM Degoten says:

Salad Fingers is the single greatest piece of flash art ever, so I'm sure you can scrounge something up over the course of a year. I have faith in you. :]


Nov. 29, 2008 | 12:35 PM RoadViper says:

OMG, you're so fucking GOD. playboy and BBC.
good luck with your new movie and I bless your talent man. AMEN


Nov. 29, 2008 | 2:04 PM hikouki says:

Wow thats great news! I look forward to watching them


Dec. 5, 2008 | 5:01 PM crazy-clown10 says:

actually, playboy + your animation would be half bad...
i can imagine now, that lady from "Health Reminder" definetly couldve made into playboy.


Dec. 5, 2008 | 9:43 PM CockOfDuty says:

Hey, I love salad Fingers. And some people think it's dumb. But, it is so funny. I hate the fact that people don't get that he is lonely. RIGHT!

Dec. 5, 2008 | 11:59 PM Doki responds:

Thanks CockOfDuty!
