Well, whatever the barrier is that keeps me from tackling more Flash animations, I've failed to get over, under, around or through it since I announced in May that I was going ahead with the Doctor Who/Ringworld project. What I appear to have stumbled on as a summer project instead came up this weekend at AKOTAS. Saturday for Sunday's cartoon I didn't feel like dealing with my home scanner, nor like resorting to triangles. So, instead of drawing in pencil and scanning it into MSPaint, I drew with the mouse right into the MSPaint file. It isn't the first time I've done that at AKOTAS, but it's the first time in awhile. Something about the idea of divorcing my online art from the analog world entirely appealed to me during previous periods of mousedrawn AKOTAS, and I seem to be ready to try it again. This time the attempt may even be prompting me to expand my technical skills, and I don't mean with software or hardware. Today's AKOTAS has varied line weights. I've never grokked use of varied line weight before, and here I am using it to purposeful effect.
