So, this is the third Unfriendly Giant flash cartoon that I made. Again, I think it was a step up from the previous two in terms of effort and quality. Something that I notice right away is the new art style I used for the “props” in the cartoon. You’ll notice that there are lines edging many of the shapes on the skateboard and the BBQ. In the past, I kept things looking like (in my mind) paper or felt cutouts. Even when I animate, I imagine the art projects I did as a kid where I’d cut out all the body parts and pin them together at the joints. I think I also put more effort into the “acting” of the characters and the action of the cartoon as a whole. I felt that was needed because this cartoon was pretty heavy on dialogue, I thought.

Funny looking at the “rugrats” and/or “ankle biters” in the cartoon. They sort of remind me of chubby versions of my little Dude. I can’t believe I’d do an Unfriendly Giant cartoon and not put in an Easter Egg. If you can find it, let me know in the comments.
