The Bloody Escapades Of Mr. Smiley
 
As some of you know I'm making a small web-toon series called The Bloody Escapades Of Mr. Smiley.

This cartoon stars a young satanic smiley face with a deep, dark, secret and his friends Person McGuy: a perverted hacker, and Teddy Razor-belt: a teddy bear possessed by demons who gets his kicks by hacking up innocents.

Here are some pics, I wanted it to be a little more detailed than other flash toons but still exceedingly simple:

Here's a full-bodied picture of our star, Mr. Smiley

Here's a pic of possessed Smiley with an evil smile

Here's a pic of Smiley wearing his hockey mask. Note: Smiley doesn't have arms in this pic because they are placed on a different layer during animation so they are drawn seperately.

Well, before I post more pics/info I want to hear your input. Whadd'ya think?
:D:D

Oh. My. God.
Dude, where exactly is this site?
I am going to find it and watch it ... and ... so on.
I hope it goes well!

Sekto Springs 03-20-2004 03:37 PM

It's not finished. When it is: I will e-mail it to every joke/movie site I can think of and post it here.

Dave 03-20-2004 04:11 PM

Word!
I can't wait!!!
Don't let me down.

Sekto Springs 03-20-2004 04:14 PM

Okay, I'm uploading pics of Person McGuy right now. :D

oddguy 03-20-2004 04:32 PM

Here's a pic of Person Mcguy, just Person to his friends, but he doesn't have many friends so you can call him by his full name.

And here's a pic of Teddy Razor-belt, he has no friends and no enemies (probly because he's hacked up both of them.)

wow, its looking incredibly good. I cant wait to see some results :D

TheRaisin 03-21-2004 07:28 AM

Very cool. Somehow incredibly childish, but hilarious. Has the same appeal as Homestar Runner. And the art is pretty amazing. Have you noticed that The Grinch, Osmosis Jones, and your character all have the same crooked smile? Seriously, I hafta wonder if the same person is drawing just crooked smiles for all three cartoons. Mebbe itsa conspiracy...

Edit: Oh yeah, I meant to ask. Does Smiley have some kind of problem with alchemists? Eh? Is he an anti-alchemist? What does he got against alchemists, huh? Why if I were an alchemist, I'd have half a mind to turn him into a big gold ingot. Lesse if you can get outta that one, Smiley!

Sekto Springs 03-21-2004 07:42 AM

The one thing about Smiley is he can't be killed. He is very clumsy and often kills himself more than others, but Smiley sold his soul to the devil by accident while reciting a verse from Macabre Monthly Magazine so every time he dies, he gets revived by the demons dwelling in him. He only dislikes alchemists because I dislike them, they're just big cheats...I had a bad experience with an alchemist once (and no it didn't involve smelting my nads).

Honestly, the crooked smile was derived from the way Tim Burton draws teeth, he draws them all chipped, crooked, and yellow.

spike 247 03-21-2004 07:45 AM

My God these are amazing! For some reason your style of drawing reminds me of Bill Watterson. Keep up the good work. :D

Havoc 03-21-2004 07:47 AM

haha, actaly makes no sence at all!
MFAOWHROFL!!!!!!

Sekto Springs 03-21-2004 07:57 AM

Huh, and Bill Watterson, I recognise his name, but what does he draw?

spike 247 03-21-2004 08:19 AM

The very funny Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. It's about american 6 year old boy with a stuffed tiger as his best friend, who in his imagination comes to life and get up to very naughty antics. Here is some of his work.

Yes!
Someone else that acknowledges Watterson's genius!

But anyway, I am waiting patiently for Mr. Smiley....

OK, I've decided not to torture so here's the run-down.

I decided to make the first episode take place before Smiley went insane. Smiley's life is based off mine; he lives in an always rainy and miserable neighborhood and has to constantly baby-sit his bitchy little cousin who's always nagging him for something. Eventually Smiley cracks after being forced to watch Dragonball Z with his cousin and runs into the bathroom in an attempt to commit suicide, there he finds the Macabre Monthly Magazine where he reads the incantation that sells his soul to the devil. I don't want to spoil it for ya, but rest assured that it will rock every brand of socks there is!

Well, good! Hanes are the most easily rocked of all the socks, they say.
And I wear those every day!

GrigtheSlig 03-23-2004 03:20 PM

This is awesome SS! Oddguy told me about it, and I had to come see it... IT SOUNDS HILARIOUS, SO HURRY UP AND FINISH!

Sekto Springs 03-28-2004 02:09 PM

Here's Smiley's annoying li'l cousin. Not unlike my cousin, he's always hyper and bouncing around, quite annoying.

I made it an animated gif so you can get the basic idea of what the animation is like.

oddguy 03-28-2004 02:57 PM

Nice animation. I like the blue tongue.

Dave 03-28-2004 04:01 PM

That is most sincerely awesome.
I can not wait for the finished product.
:D
