After my long hospital stay, I came home and turned on my computer. It was like coming back to an old friend. At first, I felt a little bit lost, but soon I got back on the track. There are so many scenes in the Hercules video, and so many characters to draw, but I have the final plan all sketched out and completed. All I have to do is follow the plan.
Scene by scene, I turn each still sketch into a completed, animated color scene, and put it into the timeline. There are lots and lots of actions to animate, so it's a real challenge.
Working on animation is very good therapy for me--it takes my mind off of any physical discomfort I may still feel after my operation.
I found a nice painting of Hercules, so I'd like to share it here.

Dear Friend Animan:
ReplyDeleteI just realized I had not set my name down to comment you. So here I go again. It has been a hectic week-10 days at work, busy as a bee. Enough of me.
Congratulations coming back home. Now the long way to recovery. Healing after surgery takes time, but a major surgery like yours takes longer. I admire your positive attitude and outlook. That must be good at least for something.
I will not tire you any longer. Take care of yourself, and thank goodness for your partner being there for you and with you. Surely your biological family is not there.
May God help you healing daily.
Love
Tony Magri
Forgot to mention the beautiful painting of Hercules and others. Glad to see that little ivy growing around his uncut cock. The girl in white seems to suggest to go to the top of the hill and jump down, while the one in gold is suggesting to take it easy. The little putto(child in ancient Italian)is offering two roses. What can it all mean ? The girl in white may want Hercules for a nice get together ALL TO HERSELF,and maybe make a putto. The one in gold wants the same thing but is not being very perspective. The putto is being the smartest of all and offering the roses in honor of Hercules' manhood. Roses and the ivy are all intertwined. Hope you liked the little story.
ReplyDeleteHi Tony,
DeleteI enjoyed your little Hercules story as well as your get-well message. You always brighten up my day or night!
Love to you,
Animan
hope you come back to the project and will follow recovering, I love you. pd: animate think in some project would princes disney gay.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tyler Td. I love you, too. and I will remember your request for a Disney prince type.
DeleteHello Animan. I'm so sorry to have learned of your recent illness, and I'm glad to hear that you're now on the mend. I want to pass onto you some news I've just read on another blog ( http://leon692.blogspot.com ) about upcoming changes "BLOGSPOT" is about to implement. I'll just do what he did, and cut-&-past the notice:
ReplyDelete"Monday, February 23, 2015 Blogger Terms of Service Changes
I'll just copy and paste the email I got.
We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.
In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.
The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private.
I'm not fully certain what they mean by "expressly shared" as opposed to just going to my blog's link as usual but I guess we'll find out until the time comes. I was thinking about using tumblr but I like the little chat window we have on the side, although I bet with some manipulation of HTML I could probably squeeze that into tumblr too. Or I could use amazon services and make my own webpage as a nice learning experience depending on their ToS and all that fun stuff.
I posted a new release on said tumblr just as a test run, it's stored in the archives too.
Also I have attracted the attention of a couple other artists, not directly mind you but I've had a good amount of my posts reported and taken down. So if you're wondering why X artist's post/work is missing it's probably because of that."
Sorry if I just spoiled your day. But forewarned is forearmed, so I thought you might want to know about this.
Sincerely, DCP (GuySpanksMen)
Wow. No, you didn't spoil my day--I'm glad you told me.
DeleteAlthough I have always done my best to not display a lot of nudity on this blog, there have been exceptions, where I showed screen grabs of porn sites who were ripping my stuff off left and right. THAT could be seen as objectionable.
I'm considering switching over to Tumblr, and hopefully within the next 2 days, so I can post the link here before everything disappears. On my Selz page, I'll be sure to put the link as well.
I was expecting something like this to happen, sooner or later!
I am glad that you are well. Look forward to your upcoming project.
ReplyDeleteSeparate note. I just came upon as post from another artist saying that Google is going to do somewhat of a terms of service overhaul regarding what is deemed adult themed material. Just curious, did you get that notice and if so, are you going to consider migrating to another blog site like Tumblr,do your own site entirely, or something of the sort?
Hey, Gibson D--I'm thinking that Tumblr might be the way to go. once that's set up, I'll be providing the link here and on my Selz page.
DeleteGreat great news! About you dear Animan and new movie!! We cant wait)
ReplyDeleteI love this picture: nude big sexy Hercules near dressed others...Dirty thoughts attacked me:)
I'm glad you like the picture. When I found it, I couldn't believe it! It's a very sexy painting.
Deletesuch a pretty little cock--AND EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA tiny cock like that almost renders the skimpy ivy plant superfluous.
Deletewell, they wouldn't have had to look very far to find one big enough to cover, but I'm glad they didn't, and for once I'm glad they did shave his bush--what a labor of love that was for the slave who did it. his tip must have been licking the tip of his master's cock, and sucking it till it exploded a superhuman load of divine cum. He must have held that ambrosial jizz in his mouth till finally the last drop escaped down his throat, coursed thru his guts and eventually passed out, soothing his asshole in the most exquisite shit like none he'd ever had in his life before or since. All that while that pathetic lackey was among the privileged few to experience paradise on earth, thanks to mighty Hercule's small but super-potent cock
Delete(Gulp!)
