[watsthatsmell]

WOW! You are very talented, I hope to see your art someday on the big screen!

[ShynzoAndCo]

Soooo smooooth!

[BoxBreakout]

Cool Stuff DUDE :D

[benaji261]

Watching this, I swear you've been working with Disney or something. This shit is astounding.

[tiredartist]

@benaji261 Thanks! I've worked under Disney veterans, but never directly for the mouse.

[benaji261]

@tiredartist Agh you must be so lucky to have such talent. I am super jealous.

[ReadToasts]

I also came here watching Bath Rhymes. What´s your actual situation? I would really happy if you are working in a great studio. You got talent there! ^^

[tiredartist]

@ReadToasts I'm freelancing at the moment. Storyboarding and animation. Thanks for the kind words!  I'm glad you like my work!

[TheFlyingMongooseDog]

Are you a boy?

[tiredartist]

@TheFlyingMongooseDog Aye. I know the name throws you. Gotta' love hippie parents.

[Jackjone1324]

mind=blown... i have no seen animation this smooth this clear or vivid in such a long time. you are amazah

[tiredartist]

@Jackjone1324 Thanks! Much appreciated!  There's a lot of stuff much better than this if your poke a round YouTube a little.

[itchcitizen2]

amazing creations Erin.

[tiredartist]

@itchcitizen2 Thank you kindly! I'm glad you like it!

[xjunkyarddogx]

To me personally, your'e a better animator than some major animation shows.

[tiredartist]

@xjunkyarddogx Wow! Thank you kindly!

[tiredartist]

@FatadeiFiori91 It takes a while. I mean, you're drawing every frame. So it takes as long as it takes for you to draw the characters.

[AmbitiousCanine]

Seeing your submission in the Dick Figures song Bath Rhymes brought me to see what other things you've done, and I can't believe that someone brought true 2d animation to the table. The quality is amazing for your work, rivaling Disney movies, and I look forward to any projects you might be working on.

[tiredartist]

@AmbitiousCanine Awesome! That's great to hear. I know going to old school 2D route is not the most financially rewarding these days, but I can't help it. I just love it too much. And it is great to hear that there are a lot of other people out there who still enjoy it as much as I do. As long as I can still draw, I'll keep doing what I'm doing... So hopefully soon I'll be posting more of my work.

[0007ManMountain]

Its nice to see someone mastering real cartooning and not 3d animation. I don't know your preferences on the matter, but i've gotten really sad because noone seems to be doing classic animation anymore. Anyway, this is awesome, keep it up.

[tiredartist]

@0007ManMountain There's some classic animation happening out there, but certainly not as much as the alternatives. I personally love the visual look of hand drawn classic animation over CG or flash, but as long as you have a solid product with a good story behind it, I don't care what medium you use, I'll like it. But then again I've seen some pretty bad stories with awesome 2D animation and I've loved it just for that, so I don't know. Haha!

[naiian10]

If your dream is to be a disney animator or pixar, you should really follow it your amazing im sure you will be accepted nice work bra

[tiredartist]

@naiian10 Thank you much! Who knows what might happen!

[long20894]

Cartoon artist is kinda an offbeat job to have XD....though my mom is one n i love her cartoons :)...i bet she'd be really thrilled when i show her all ur cartoons :D:D:D.....keep up good work!

[tiredartist]

@long20894 Awesome! You really have to love the work to be a cartoonist, especially now because it's not the most lucrative job. Haha! Thank you!

[Joshamin2169]

You're animations are truly amazing, they remind me of OLD disney movies, just to clarify. You would've been a great animator at Disney back in the day when they still primarily used this animation style. But ya you would probably be doing stuff for their crappy shows now. You should totally go retro and make good movies with this animation!!!

[tiredartist]

@Joshamin2169 The older Disney stuff is my favorite style. I would love to see more of that these days. I'm trying to find a workflow that lends itself to that style, and I think I'm getting there. We'll see. Thanks for the kind words!

[BerryTheStraw]

You are officially my inspiration ^ ^

[tiredartist]

@BerryTheStraw Haha! Thank you!

[BunnieBoizMYFONE]

Omg you work for Disney ?

[tiredartist]

@BunnieBoizMYFONE Nope.  I just freelance.

[stefkurosaki]

Dude , Go to disney o.o , u will get hired for sure , Ur awesome :o

[tiredartist]

@stefkurosaki Thanks! I would probably just end up storyboarding Hanna Montana episodes or something. Haha!

[tiredartist]

@CountryGirlHaywood Thank you kindly! I appreciate it because I'm a big Disney fan.

[tiredartist]

@CountryGirlHaywood Noooooo.. Thank you though!

[meageekygirl]

between seconds of 0:32 - 0:33 on the last card....is that possibly a certain backstabin spy from a certain game (Team Fortress 2)??

[tiredartist]

@meageekygirl No.. It would have to be just a coincidence. I've never played Team Fortress 2. Haha!

[tothaMax1]

Amazing!! I was wondering, I've been asking other animators, if they could make a short animation I have an idea for, but none have responded. please.

[tiredartist]

@tothaMax1 Thanks, man! Animation is a lot of work, so it's a lot to ask someone to make an animation for you, especially if it's Pro-Bono work. I'm assuming they are probably very busy hustling and playing the "artist for hire" game. Haha! I'm doing that myself, so I'm sorry but I'll have to politely decline. Have you ever tried putting together an animatic of your idea? That might get some people interested.

[patar1000]

dude your freakin amazing i hope to be able to animate like you one day

[tiredartist]

@patar1000 Thank you much! I'm glad you like it!

[ShePlaysIt]

MASTER! Teach me your ways!!! *drools over your work* It's so fluid! So dynamic! omg! I'm in LOVE! You never really see talented 2d animators anymore!

[tiredartist]

@ShePlaysIt Haha! Thank you! I probably could put up a couple animation tutorials. I never thought of that.

[killerspiderwebs]

Is the "you stole from my kin" part from o brother where art thou? Its a funny movie if not its just what I sounded like

[tiredartist]

@killerspiderwebs You called it! I wanted to animate that whole scene, but the time factor always gets in the way. Haha!

[killerspiderwebs]

@tiredartist haha i just heard the voive and was like huh? lol hey what do you use as in software like flash or what?

[htfan199]

your handrawing animating skills are awsome!

[tiredartist]

@htfan199 Thanks! That's what I like to do! :)

[htfan199]

@tiredartist what kind of programm are you using?

[tiredartist]

@htfan199 For my pencil tests? I believe I used "Quckchecker" by RETAS. There is other free pencil test software out there.

[626raven]

that was AMAZING

[tiredartist]

@626raven Haha! Thank you very much! Much appreciated.

[626raven]

@tiredartist np ^^

[MyssHydra]

[haffrianna]
