Description
Well, after about a week of work, I've finished a promotional "poster" for my next-to-be-made Flash series. This is my first attempt at a CG Photoshop colored pic, and I think it came out well. Tell me what you think. Advanced Critique Encouraged.From left to right: Steak, Tater, Dumpling and Parsley. They're all named after foods...foods that represent them in some way or another.
The plot is that of a psychological teenage drama. But, this is no "The O.C." or some crap. This will be an 9 or 10 part series about 4 teenagers and how they each cope with life. This is real. This is not how Hollywood decides to show teenagers growing up, with their so-called "problems." It will have a little comedy, but mainly it will just talk about how the youth of today get by in life...without taking sides.
I want to do a serious Flash cartoon. Not only to show that I'm capable of more than just toilet jokes or "the Hate-dar." I want to show that I'm capable of writing a story that captivates people. Selfish reasons aside, I want to show the internet that a serious Flash series is possible, despite everyone having the idea that the only Flash cartoons that are made involve fart jokes and Megaman sprites...or is that webcomics?...doesn't matter.
Tools used: My handy-dandy tablet (for drawing...couldn't live without it), Macromedia Flash 8 (for lineart), and Photoshop 7.0 (for everything else)
Hope you like!
PS-Give me criticism, I want to improve. And feel free to ask any questions you may have about Brick Wall.
PPS-I will finish Hyperboy. It's just that Hyperboy is all planned out in my mind. I know what to do and how to do it. This is the series I'm currently writing, so I can work on it after Hyperboy.

Looks preety awesome and I love the idea of a non fart joke related series. But I will never stop my love for the hyber boy series.
This picture looks awesome. Can't wait to see the series. But the real question is are you going to kill the hyber boy series?
Either way your work always rocks out hard and I will be a fan.

Flash cartoons with a non-silly story? Thank you! I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but my Flash skills are abysmal.
Good luck dude, but I'm sure you don't need it. Rock on.

Hahah, cool! I love the red haired dude, smoking. He looks bad ass. He got a name?
The shadings pretty cool. Do you use Burn and Dodge to shade them? Or do yeh color it into shading? I mean, in a way I can't really tell. Look cool!
You know, I have been hearing alot of arguments with people saying that Flash toons on the internet are just way too crappy. They're not serious, it's all sprites and crappy drawings being tweened and crap.
It's sweet that you want to get really serious into this cartoon. I hope you show them around man!
I wish I could serious, but eh, I would, if I had some money. : D
Oh, sooo, you finally that version? Of Flash I mean?

And yes....He is a bad-ass.

I lay down basic colors and blur them. I forgot that the others existed...
Yeah, it's sad. There's only a handful of good serious-ish Flash cartoons. A good example is the Brackenwood series.
I'm still not that used to it...but, I thought I'd try.
