Who Am I To Be?

[dogmasotherside]

@moomay1949 This was my first true cartoon video. It's getting old, but it's still true. I seemed to have forgotten my own message along the way and let it trip me up. No more. I'm working on coming back.

Be Well.

[TheMooz1949]

Dogma,

You are such a delight to watch! And I luv you.

Why don't you have ppl.nominate otjher youtubersto to have a cartoon made?

WOW!Look at all of those views. I am thoroughly impressed.

Wuvs,moomay1949

Your cartoon/joke of me went from700 views to 1,000 views wen I featured it on my page.

[riverlioness]

Cool video.

[distorteddogma]

@riverlioness Thanks. I like your galaxy background.

Be Well.

[mcteam10]

wow  you have the job i want too

[unpicked1]

LOL, you have more views on this one video than I do on all of my videos.

You think it will get up to half a million?

Looks like it has gone up another 100,000 since it was featured.

[distorteddogma]

It is what it is. My first big toon and my first success. But it wasn't like it was a contagion for my other toons. I think the views of all my other toons would fit in here a couple of times as well. It was all the luck of being featured.

Be Well.

[k6yardotcom]

I can watch this time and again and it's never enough. Dogma, (pardon me if I misspell your name) [I type too fast and often it's not good and I can't help it.] Dogma, please make more videos. This is a classic one. Please make more animation. I know it takes time. I am looking forward to watching a short movie. That would be awesome.

[distorteddogma]

I use Firefox with the spell check turned on.

More is coming, soonish (as I like to say).

Be Well.

[CrazyDoggy1]

Very cool video. Your voice really enhances this it. Keep doing your cartoons. When more come out, I'll be here to watch.

[distorteddogma]

I'm finding out why, at the end of a cartoon, there is a long list of names. There are lots of jobs to do on longer toons. Back to shorts.

Be Well.

[ResidenceOfEvil]

What happened? Why'd you stop animating?

[distorteddogma]

Actually, I didn't stop. I have a few things lined up for YouTube and I hope to get one finished soon.

My biggest problem was too large of an idea, too little time, so I'm working on some shorts in the meanwhile.

Thanks for watching.

Be Well.

[1schmuck3]

this was really cool!!!

i wanna see more...

[unknownlover99]

[haemon20]

Be Well.

[Sunderas]

I liked it! Simple and direct. Just the work of a starting pro! ;)

Good Luck.

[distorteddogma]

Thank you very much.

Be Well.

[xxbassxxMakar]

This is the monst broing thing ever on youtube. I'd have more watching deer porn in the winter while eating a cupcake then watching this

[distorteddogma]

Well thanks for stopping by and commenting. Now you can go back to poking your porn into some deers cupcake.

Be Well.

[LAArtGallery]

I don't claim to be clever, but I have a good sense of good people. Glad I subb'd. :)

[distorteddogma]

Well, seeing as we're gonna be neighbors... sorta... I'm glad you did too.

Be Well.

[manka6]

Hey, Dogma, I just dropped in to tell you that you're one of the best people on youtube. Keep up the great work. These kids like us, we've lost our way, so maybe you can inspire us to do better.

Thanks-

Mat

[distorteddogma]

Hi Mat- Wow, that's saying an awful lot. There are lots of great people here on Youtube. Inspire? All I can do is be me. That seems to have been enough so far.

Thanks.

Be Well.

[cheeslover]

Be Well.

[Ottomcr]

that was really cool

[distorteddogma]

Thanks, Joseph

Be Well.

[randrigh]

Hey there! cool video, I enjoyed that! I liked the message at them end about being yourself too, I think that's something most people have trouble with... I actually just posted a new song I wrote called "The Mask" about learning to be comfortable with my true self, after seeing this video I thought you might like to hear it! I'd love to know what you think!

Take care, Roxy :)

[distorteddogma]

Thank you Roxy, you are very kind.

I like your music a lot.

Be Well.

[manka6]

You are one fo the best people on Youtube, and one of the nicest guys on the net. Congrats!

[distorteddogma]

Wow. That's awful nice of you to say.

Thanks.

Be Well.

[loisgi]

[blodeandnot]

i think this video is just sooooooooo cool i wish i had the talent to do cool stuff like that you are awesome

[DarkMousse]

Wow! How did you do that? You rock! 5 stars!

[whoaaitslex]

5***** STAR RATING!!!! i CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCG I GOT INTO IT! Its interesting and thanks for encouraging me to start! Now how did you draw that and make it that way! Please tell me! It would be a pleasure!

[distorteddogma]

I suggest you start with a program called PIVOT. Google it. It is freeware and will teach you to animate stick figures first.

Be Well

[karmadz02]

I´m Mexican, I saw your Video, and It´s amazing, appears a real true...."Just Be Yourself" , Tal vez lo dificil de conseguir pero sera lo más satisfactorio al final. FELICITACIONES. CONGRATS !¡!¡ Saludos from Mexico!¡!¡

[distorteddogma]

Being comfortable in your own skin and with who you are is, perhaps, the most difficult of all things.

Be Well.

[Babii1991]

i wish i cud make cartoons!AWESOME!!

[distorteddogma]

Maybe you can. Google: Creatoon (for cut out animation) or Pivot (stick figure animation) both are free.

Be Well.

[artoz12]

this was a great move. absolutly great.

[lusipus]

oh that movie got me so relaxed, seriously. nice video :D really loved it :)

[distorteddogma]

Thank you. Glad to take the edge off.

Be Well.

[RoseSiegel]

too cool!!!

[distorteddogma]

Thank you and welcome aboard.

be Well.

[raposofan]

Windows Movie Maker is one helluva program and it's an animator's best friend. I use it to make cartoons too. I dig your solid, sane voice; reminds me of Garrison Keillor, and so does the humor. Dry, smart, cool. More! And a 5-star rating too.

[distorteddogma]

There is a lot of great software out there. Each a little different. Find one that suits you and stick with it.

Be Well.

[grupolavolta]

Best video I have seen in a while. I'm subscribing right now!

[falconbanshee]

good perpous of the vid =D

[snakelavie]

A crashing, cutesy, beyond belief, bore. You need elocution lessons. Drone, drone, drone...

[distorteddogma]

What a surprise, another master of entertainment heard from. I invite everyone who reads this to stop by the channel of snakelavie and peruse the vast output of quality original entertainment contained there, wholly justifying his critique as that of an expert.

[av1995]

good job! And are you really 53 years old?

it really helped my friend.

[distorteddogma]

I am what I am, and that's 53, for a few more months.

Be Well.

[av1995]

huh? and how did u creat ur video by the way?

[wakojako007]

Good video!

Keep it up and don't worry, before you know it you will have thousands of viewers.

[distorteddogma]

If a few people see them and enjoy the, I'm happy. Thanks for watching.

Be Well

[predrag1]

one of the better videos i saw here on outube, keep it up :)

[distorteddogma]

Thanks.

Be Well.

[Son0FG0d]

be well

[distorteddogma]

And you.

[firdaousfirdaous]

I like it. Good job! :)

[wentzworshipper2]

i noticed how you put "be well" at the end of responses. how kind! be well :)

[distorteddogma]

Old habit. Comes from the days of computer bulletin boards, long before the Internet. A simple salutation.

Cheers.

[msscotland2]

you are creeepy.

[distorteddogma]

Thank you, Egor.

Be Well.

[ACertainRomance69]

your cartoon is so funny and i love the way you draw it. keep doing the good work.

[kikirodrigo]

Que perqueria!

[gabrielasmb]

i don't undestand very much

no se mucho ingles!

i don't know very much english

[efra73]

Great title I really grabbed me. I totally enjoyed watching this cartoon. Looking forward to see your next video.

All the best!!!

[distorteddogma]

There is more on the channel and more coming.

Be Well.

[BILOXIBELLE72]

Oh my goodness! I thoroughly enjoyed that video and I wish you well! Though I've been on youtube for nearly a year I just use it to post movies of my family for other family and friends to watch.

[distorteddogma]

Nothing wrong with that at all. I think that was the original intent. I don't know if they were (or are) prepared for where it's gone.

Be Well.

[rlmotorcycles]

yeah that voice is soothing and has a deep rich mellow tone to it, like Nat King Kole, what brand of cigarettes do you smoke? i watched the whole thing just because of the voice.

[distorteddogma]

Unforgettable....that's what you are.....

Naw, I sing like someone pulling barbed wire through a cat.

Be Well.

[ronaldinho2211]

i wish i had your voice

[distorteddogma]

Right now, me too. Got a cold.

Be Well.

[GlobalAxess]

Nice...5*

[copperbabe]

wow

[ubt09]

what a nice cartoon...

Good luck for next one ;)

[rockinexciter]

I'm the Fur Ball Rabbit in this Video.From His Rabbitship,Rabbit's Rule Dudes!!

[distorteddogma]

But thanks for watching the whole thing.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Website?

You assume I have time for more than this.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

That is where I was headed. It seems if we took a vote, you'd be correct.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

And it turned out to be mostly correct. Thank you very much for the kind words.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

I think I prefer "career" to "life" on YouTube. Life give this all too much weight.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

I have the same problem.  My subscription list is getting impossible.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Working as fast as I can.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

'twas a Raven, nothing more.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Got software?

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

And fate plays a hand...

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

I Love the thought...  but it 'taint so.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Why? You didn't comment on mine. You just asked for attention.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

And you have a right to think that. As long as you don't cuss, you comments, good or bad will stand.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Relax, YouTube popped him.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

Thanks for stopping into the neighborhood

Be Well.

[Andrew11114]

cool... I think with time your cartoons will only get better and better... I look forward to seeing more of your cartoons.

[distorteddogma]

Thanks.

Be Well.

[distorteddogma]

No happy trees.... just happy mouth.

Be Well

[EvilEqual]

That was great!!! :D

[MissVasques]

Slow, a bit humourus. But still good entertainment and so on. Nice cartoons;) Thank you for taking the time to make this video and for posting it here on youtube;)!

[distorteddogma]

The masses don't go out, so you go to the masses. OR Find your audience where you may. OR

This was only a test toon that got outta control.

Be Well.

[lotsomonkeyz]

[gerry2345]

I like this vid, I was hooked. I think its because I faced the same question.

[distorteddogma]

Everybody does in one form or another.

Be Well.

[gerry2345]

Your skill in Tooning is wonderful. I have an artistic side that I have not used for years (15). I must say I felt inspired when I looked at your vid.

[coloradamogrovejo]

for some reason i was kind of hipnotized with this video.........im ready to go......bye

[distorteddogma]

You are in my power.....

Glad you liked it.

Be Well.

[rpsgrayfox]

[BornAtNight]

You'd make a good sports caster, doing golf commentary.

[follownobody]

Nicely done. Got one smart kid there.... But.. It's missing explosions. Neeeeed a explosion.

[distorteddogma]

No explosions yet, but there is a burning Birthday cake in another toon.

Be Well.

[CatrionaDuCane]

you've got such a relaxing voice to listen to!

[TheRealScottFree]

Very cool man! Love it!!!

[pendejofernando]

[mewmewgirl12]

that was random lol but awsome lol

[Ritchie360]

My opinion: Cool stuff! :D

My honest opinion: Cool stuff! Only it get's a little boring after a while. Nice work though. The time when these characters transform into other characters is very cool.

[HatakeSage]

lol i saw naruto in your pictures. haha...thats funny. 1:09 ? lol too fast.. but i love this vid. ^_^

[cowpunk1978]

you really need to be doing voice acting.  you probably already do, but if not....seriously, get an agent, now.

[RainCloud09]

cool vid man keep it up

[d4z3d3d]

well done, dogma... as BPMontana stated, very original and it was even sort of inspiring in a way... keep it up, mate..

[BPMontana]

I thought this video was very original, I liked it. Keep it up.

[Maylee92]

Nice job :D

[Seriouscritic121]

[distorteddogma]

Critics are critics

good and bad,

one makes you happy,

one makes you sad,

I partake of neither,

because you see,

my art's not for them,

I do it for me. -Dogma

Be Well.

[visiocomb]

good work fella

[LingisLove]

Hey, nice! =D

[Munchy365]

LOL 3:53 reminds me of Thumb Wars

[d4z3d3d]

heheh... i think that might be where he got the idea... but yeah, thumb wars was hilarious, steve odegerk, or however you spell his name, was an odd sort of director..

[DonnZ0r]

Bad guy looks like my countrys president back in the 19s. Google Urho Kekkonen

[panickingjuggler]

great video

[veritanuda]

Hehe.. you just crystallised the idea I had for my videos. Though I am a poor cartoonist at best.. so guess I am gonna need to think of something else. But Kudos dd. You have a great voice and a great attitude and I'll be subscribing for sure :) Keep it up!!

[pablina9898]

i love the guy at 00:27-00:40

[suchingwankdouche]

Wow a 50 year old with no life. I'm surprised you ever had a wife or a kid. Do you not have a job or friends to keep yourself occupied?

DOUCHEBAG WITH SAGGY, WRINLKY BALLS!

[KerstySmoli14]

Year its funny!

[pablina9898]

you are a type of person who relly seems to know what they are doing and i love your cartoons i also love to draw but im not to good!!

[distorteddogma]

Good? Did you look at those chicken scratches I have up there? These aren't great drawings. It's the thoughts behind them that make them worth watching or not. You don't need to draw to cartoon. You need a magazine and scissors.

Be Well

[farmeadow]

well done, I like the story and your way of thanking other people aswell/I'm looking forward to the rest of your work

[musicxmania]

I really liked this video. It's really sweet if you think about it. Very well done, you are very skilled!

[KateInHawaii]

I liked this :) ...My first post, so...not trivial comment. Look fwd to more. I found by chance...it was at the top of a choice window, after I watched another U-tube video.

[geoffthedoggy]

Amazing!

[olifreyr]

i think this video is great and your not old 53 isnt old at all :)

[willbow133]

fantastic!

[renanrf01]

nice work man!

[bolDawn]

charming !

[Nanako101]

Your voice :D, It's awesome. And I think it's cool that you're being yourself.
