Yep. Workin' on an Icharus cartoon. Of course, I'm gona need some help. Like, does anyone know any good tutorials? Expecially on walk cycles and lip-syncing...those are my worst! Other stuff I'll just practice on using tracing paper, to make sure they line up right and everything...

Also, voices. If I learn to animate, I'll need voices to animate on, right? That's where you guys come in. Audition using whatever recording device it is that you're supposed to use on an computer (I use a recording studio that belongs to my grandfather and just rip it like a CD, so i'm not sure how that works), and e-mail it to me at flammingcorn@hotmail.com. If it works for me, I'll use it. DISCLAIMER: It may take a while...I'm still learning the animation part.

We've decided I was gonna do Icharus's voice, considering he's all droned-out and soft-spoken anyway...I mean, he has his freak-out moments, but he's more creepy than loud. The only thing I'll need is someone to do his singing for me. Much like Ozzy Osborne (TODAY'S Ozzy Osbourne) he isn't so well at speaking, but can still sing like the best of them. I can't. So auditions for that are cool. To get a good idea of how he sounds, watch this: [link]
I know he won't sing the same way he talks, but I don't want it TOO far-fetched.

Other voices:
Lenore. She will need two. One small little-girl voice, the other being a huge heavy-metal demonic voice. If you can do both, I'm impressed and weirded out at the same time. It'll probably need two seperate people though...

The Salesman: Yeah, one episode involves a hot-shot salesman. How would you expect a stero-typical hot-shot salesman to sound? Go for that effect...

The Avon Lady: It...can't be that hard. Any woman will work I guess. Try to sound more cheerful than anything...Oh, and be able to scream really good! XD (You'll find out later)

The Girl Scout: Actually, I'm hoping for a screamy-sounding, annoying little boy voice...Just to make it that much better. LOL.

Random children: If you wanna participate but don't feel like doing big lines or just can't find that right part, here you go. Just don't sound like a huge gorilla of a man if you expected to get picked. Do sound horrible though. This is an ICHARUS cartoon we're talking about here...

Daedelus: Yeah, so I named Icharus's rival Deadelus, despite that goes against everything the real Icarus and Deadelus set up. This has nothing to do with that story though, I'm just using their names...ANYWAY, enough rambling, I need Daedelus to sound like a stero-type angry Scottsman. A rather big one at that, I might add. It'll be wonderfully hilarious voice-fighting with whoever gets the job (as I get be Icharus! XD).

Annabelle Lee: She may be a jar of ashes, but Icharus has flash-back from time to time...British accent REQUIRED, though it is allowed to sound pretty fake to an extent. Mine's partially convincing at the most, I will admit...

Umm...I think that's about all for now, but it is subject to change. If you wish to addition, note me and I'll note you back some lines.

On another note, I'm a little sick right now, and I have to do my comic for next week by Sunday, so the winners' drawings will be a bit behind...I haven't forgotten!

Yep. I thought long and hard, narrowed it down, and even let the people vote on it too. I have finally got my winners!

First place is Zylphiar by [link]
She gets her drawing featured on the front page of my website, her gallery will be featured on my DA/FAC profiles, she will recieve a free request drawn by me with the full treatment (colour, ink, and all!), and have the option of her created Magro to be used as a guest character or quite possibly a reoccuring character.


Second place is Thoth by [link]
Her gallery will be featured on my DA/FAC profiles, she will recieve a free request drawn by me (inked only), and her created Magro has the option of being a guest character.

Third place is Morth by [link]
She has the choice of either getting her gallery featured on my DA/FAC profiles, OR a free request done by me (inked only), and her created Magro will have the option of being featured as a background character.

Everyone else who enter will automatically be featured in a "Contest" section on my site, so there's still a plus! I get wierdos from all over on there, so you're still likely to get a lot of attention. Lucky you. XD

Congradulations to the winners on winning, and thanks to everyone for participating!

Now to start working on the next contest! XD LOL.

EDIT: Well, it's not so much an edit as it is I need a bit of suggestions...

See, I'm working on a story for Icharus where he meets an old rival of his. As Icharus is a mental British man with a Greek name, I'm gonna make his rival an angry Scottsman with a Greek name. The problem is, what Greek name to use?

Whenever I think "Icarus" I automatically think "Daedelus" along with it...and in the real story, Daedelus was Icarus's dad, and that would be kinda weird...

So what's a good one?

I can't pic between two for first place! So I have decided to let you guys vote, and the two can vote on themselves if they want to. ^_^ Whichever doesn't get the most votes will still get second place. I'll then announce my third place winner form there. That's as fair as I can get it...

Here are your choices:
Thoth by [link]
and Zylphiar by [link]

Please pick fairly and not by who your favourite artist is! They're both very wonderful, and deserve better than to just be choosen out of favourites or friendship other than on their wonderful skills of art and creativity. Thanks.

Yep. It's long past due, so now I'm gonna start judging! Just to recap, here's the entries:

Okay, I've looked up "mago magro" and searched all through my faves and journals and dug into my mind to make sure I didn't leave anyone out. Of course, I'm scatterbrained and ditzy, so chances are I may have left someone out. Please tell me if I did and provide a link.

Now, there are some GOOD Mags in this list. I really enjoyed them all, and I'm not just saying that. There can only be three winners though (considering that no one entered the official Mag part! XD), so I have to ponder on my top faves now...It's really close! Give me 'til Monday to really look over every one of them again to judge it fairly, and I'll then announce the winner (and quit giving you fine people the run-around! XD).

BTW, I forgot to add, I've got a job! Like, I said that before, but a better news paper bought me out (and the first one never got back in touch, so they don't deserve me! XD). Yep. Anyway, I gotta make a new Bagman comic a week, one copy coloured, one uncoloured, and I get ten dollars for each one (meaning comic, not copy)! Not bad. I'm gonna use the one I had intended for those other people to start with, but I'm gonna premake some soon...You still have to wait for them though! XD

Yep. He's in my gallery, though I intend to make him a better bio. He also has a friend too! a weird friend, but a firend all the same...

Now, I'd like to get serious here for a moment. My Bahaman anole, Ramone, passed away the other day. May he rest in lizard peace...

However, because I missed having one around, I set out and bought me a new anole today. He won't be able to replace Ramone, but he is quite a character! He's my very first green anole (I had only bought Bahaman anoles up until today). I named him Amadeus, and he's incredibly fiesty. He fought the Petsmart lady, and had her put him in the box three times before she got him in there good! XD She was like, "At least you know he's healthy!" LOL.

I should wish to make an anthro anole now, though anthro lizards are not uncommon. I wonder how many are specifically anoles though? Suppose I'll look it up...
