This is an experiment I did in Blender Grease Pencil Animation. I could have done this quicker in Photoshop, but the main point of the project was learning. Eventually, I will need to ween myself off of Photoshop if I am to advance my skills in animation. I learned layers, timing, and file conversion. I also learned that I have a lot to learn!

I think, therefore I am, I think
I have taken the next step in evolution by creating my first “talky”. I have animated my comic strip! The plan is to produce one per month. Enjoy the existential hijinks! At this time, only my followers here at Oddbox Comics get to see this. I have a little bit more work to do on this before I make it public on YouTube. I’m going to make a new thumbnail that parodies YouTube thumbnails. You know, a lot of sensationalistic bullcrap with plenty of arrows and red circles. Also, I plan to attach my animated ScribblePad ad.
I hope you enjoy this Exclusive Showing!

The Botez Sisters
These are caricatures of Alexandra and Andrea Botez. They have a YouTube channel and they also stream live on Twitch. They are big in the chess community, and they are pretty funny. Alexandra is the Dean Martin to Andrea’s Jerry Lewis.
Cenk and Ana of The Young Turks
Behold caricatures of Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks. They do political commentary on YouTube.
Owen Morgan (Telltale)
Sometimes, when I draw a caricature of somebody, I get this slight twinge of guilt telling me that I am mocking or making fun of my subject. I have to remind myself that I am actually honoring the subject. As I am drawing, I am admiring certain physical characteristics unique to my subject that I find fascinating enough to take the time to draw.
This is a caricature of Owen Morgan. He has a YouTube program that I watch quite frequently. He exposes the hypocrisy of some televangelists, evangelists, religious figures, and, of course, politicians who pretend to be religious. Nowadays, it is very difficult to discern whether someone is a politician or an evangelist. The line between them has gotten very, very thin.
The Near Future
Here is my very first speed-drawing video!
My first animation with sound.
“Make it so.”
If you were truly paying attention, you would know that this is the image for The Play Game #1. To be fair, this was recently added. It is a caricature of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Those of you who are fans of Star Trek, The Next Generation will find the following video unbelievably hilarious! All others will deem it stupid.

By the way, this is a wedding gift for my niece and her new husband. This is a caricature of Carmen and Eddy “floating” over a background scene of The Gilmore Car Museum, which was the location of their wedding.
