Featured GoAnimator: Commedus - The Wizard's Love

Commedus GoAnimator Commedus is the Inaugural winner of my GoAnimate, Get Featured in TET's Blog contest . Commedus has had his account with GoAnimate since September of 2011 and in that time has had two staff picks and was awarded the much sought after position of Animator of the Month for May of 2012. Commedus was able to choose any of his animations to be featured and chose one that I hadn't seen until now and am sorry I missed when it was released back in June of 2012. Prop only videos have become something of their own genre on GoAnimate and Commedus, The Wizard's Love is a very beautiful example of what can be achieved. The Wizards Love by Commedus on GoAnimate Animation Software - Powered by GoAnimate. Commedus writes about his animation...

I know many people may think my party videos, such as The Throne Room Party 1 and 2 and Dead Mans

Review: Manga Studio EX4

Manga Studio EX4 is not an animation program. However it is a drawing, illustration and comic creation program that may be of use to the artists among you that want to draw with a professional, digital art package but don't need the photo processing power and cost of something like Photoshop.

See the illustration I did on the right as a case in point. What sets this apart from other art/illustration software is that I would describe it as a 'word processor' for graphic novelists/comic book writers. Not only can you create your art for every page of your book but the software will handle the page layout, right down to headers and footers, and it has special tools to make creating dynamic pane

Competition - Get Featured in TET's Blog

In the past I've featured various GoAnimators in this blog that just happened to catch my eye but, since this blog has become something of a resource for many members of GoAnimate, I thought it would be something of an ego boost to have their work featured here on a more regular basis. As such I've developed a competition for my GoAnimate family where by almost anyone with talent will have the opportunity to be featured right here in this blog. To announce the competition I created the animation below which features Lil' Peepz versions of myself and my dog, Oscar. (Note: If the video below isn't loading or playing click the link to view it directly on GoAnimate - currently having some issues with GoAnimate Players.) Competition - Get Featured in TET's Blog by etourist Like it? Create your own at GoAnimate.com . It's free and fun! The video won't mean a lot to non-GoAnimate members but if you are then watch for my Invitation to be Featured in TET
