I just finished making episode 7 of this project, and I think it's actually starting to head in a decent, funny direction. None of the videos have cracked 40 views yet, but I'm not really discouraged by that. I've more or less deliberately avoided telling anyone about this project or drawing attention to it in any way until I've got a handle of the characters and idea enough to make something that's consistently funny. I don't like to promote the crap out of my work unless I'm pretty sure that it's actually good. This blog is the only place I've even mentioned these cartoons, which doesn't really count as promoting it since only 2 or 3 people read this. Anyway, here's episode 3:
The language at the end is even more NSFW than normal for me, since it contains a Smurf crying out in orgasmic joy. In terms of how it looks, this one is a little boring since there really isn't much going on visually aside from close-ups of the characters speaking. The scene is mostly dialog from a scrapped movie script I was working on a couple months ago. Honestly, there isn't really much of anything else to say about this one. I'd say it's based on my efforts to get my book published, but since I never even made it to the point where I got to speak in person with an agent or publisher, and since it loses all basis in reality when the guy starts ass-raping a Smurf, that really isn't the case.
If you don't want to wait for me to post and talk about the next four episodes on the blog, you can check them all out at www.youtube.com/crapstickdoodle. In my opinion, episodes one, two, three (the one above), and six suck, while four, five, and seven are pretty funny. For the next few episodes I'm going to experiment with writing a story arc that spans 3 or 4 episodes, so enjoy these one-off episodes while I work on that.
