This is just sad
No, this is just can
Left the poor man alone already.
If you want to integrate 2D and 3D animation, you should probably make sure you know the first thing about 3D modeling.
At least he's got a Can-do atttitude. Don't be quick to label the guy.
>>79052144
I donated 100 dollarydoos to this instead of Anomalisa.
>>79052211
I would expect nothing else from a Can-adian.
This is the initial injury that began /co/'s hatred for John K. This blog post.
>>79052274
I'm so sorry.
>>79052554
He's not wrong though.
>>79052554
What are the other 13 pretend cartoons?
Why does John K think that making every limb move at the same time in very very bad flash = good animation.
>>79052638
Just so everyone remembers:
/co/ hates John K because he doesn't like Animaniacs.
>>79052706
butit was a good show
>>79052554
post the rest of the pretend cartoons and lets keep the hate burning
>>79052554
Wow, that is the biggest butthurt I've ever seen.
John K sucks but so does Animaniacs
>>79052706
No. I hate him because he's an unfunny hack who got lucky and has the worst case of "Everything was better in MY generation!" I've ever seen.
>>79052638
The things he's saying aren't exactly proportionate to the hate he has for it. Plus his style is very polarizing so to people who don't like his style he comes off as a weenie who doesn't know what he's talking about. At this point he's yelling at clouds.
>>79052706
Yes, that's all it is Anon. Nothing to do with the fact he's a lazy fuck who manages to piss off and alienate everyone he works with to the extent that he can't do the thing he claims to love doing and care about so much, making cartoons.
I'd love nothing more than to see John K. produce good cartoons again. But he isn't doing that. He's complaining about other people's cartoons while occasionally putting the odd couple of hours on this shitty student film about his daddy issues.
I don't hate John K. All I feel is disappointment.

/co/ hates John K because he's a massive faggot with a god complex who thinks he's the singular authority on everything about cartoons because he made Ren and Stimpy.
I don't even disagree with what he's saying, but he conveys himself so artlessly and is constantly vaguely implying that they should all be copying what he did and that anyone attempting anything else is a corporate hack.
>>79052638
Yes, he is. On that image example, at least, it's all unjustifiable critics and clear hate blurred vision.
Sounds like a big bitch.

>>79053048
>pedo
Just because he went to a 13 year old Katie Rice's birthday party doesn't make him a pedo
>>79052992
Both in the Cans mock up and in his recent Simpsons intro, he uses the most stock textures, lighting and shading techniques that make it look like it's straight out of a sophomore graphic artist's portfolio. He also makes no attempt to make either the 3D bend to the 2D or the 2D bend to the 3D. Even if he was intentionally highlighting the juxtaposition of the realistic shading effects and completely stiff geometry of the 3D with his flat-shaded extremely absurd 2D style, he could put more effort into making the former look professional.
You can have extremely different animation styles in the same world without them looking like one layer is pasted on top of the other. Look at Gumball.
>>79053160

>>79053225
He molested katie rice
>>79053252

The irony in this has actual mass
>>79053252
Now now, I don't think that's proven, although everything does point to him wanting to badly but being rebuffed at every try.
>>79053345
I don't blame him, who wouldn't want that big white booty.
>>79053345

>>79053326
Is that webcomic usually done in the john k style, or were they using it there to make a point?
These threads always talk about Katie Rice and Kali Can'tspellio but there are dozens of other girls that John K "took under his patronage"
And frankly, fucking girls a third my age when I'm 60 is a life goal of mine.
>>79053252
>>79053380

2 is that what sparked her massive talent
>>79053524
That's the style of Animaniacs.
>>79053542
>These threads always talk about Katie Rice and Kali Can'tspellio but there are dozens of other girls that John K "took under his patronage"
Well those are the ones who went on to do something other than crawl up into the fetal position and sob in the shower.
>>79053524
it's literally done in john's style and kyle is a sycophant of his who had a massive falling out with john
>>79053617
Off the top of my head I can name four who work in the animation industry and two more who work in other fields.
>>79053697
Well, good for them.
But the dirt will never come off.
>>79053542
I guess we could talk about Robin Byrd, or however she spelled that. She was the straw that broke Spumco's back. He shoe horned her into the Ripping Friend's production something fierce. All of his crew that were true peers and made up for his short comings called it quits after.
>>79053816
Ripping Friends was god awful.
>>79053542
hes well known for TRYING to fuck them, but not managing to.
Like literally all the girls he works with he ends up "falling in love with" and tries for months to get them to drop their boyfriends for him while they try to remind him they are not into him.
Hes known for then making "grand" romantic gestures to try to woo them and thats around the time they just cut ties. Happens with pretty much every girl that worked with him. Hes fucking desperate for teenage pussy and he never gets it, its hilarious.
>>79052706
aaggh you got us!
we hate john k because we're zany to the max and there's balogna in our slacks
>>79053872
Its better than most give it credit but yeah, he really phoned it in. The Canadian animators have some stories. Shit like John coming up with all the reference materials weeks into production. The crews would have to do with very little and would try to figure it out from Ren and Stimpy. Johnny got mad that they would not meet his expectations of what stuff should look like. Some of John's constructive criticism would be that the clouds looked like turds.
>>79053930
>Hes known for then making "grand" romantic gestures to try to woo them
Oh well that makes my skin crawl.
>>79053930
>hes well known for TRYING to fuck them, but not managing to.
No, no, he's known for boning them.
>>79053981
I think the only success was Kali.
>>79053981
no, he's really not.
He's the most well known beta small time celebrity of them all, he tries to pose as someone that will mentor them and then tries to et into their pants, and he fails horribly, repeateadly.
Maybe a couple of them threw him pity fucks, but what he's known for is failing at getting those girls and beta orbit them for ages trying to prove himself.
>>79053930

>>79054162
Huh, neat.
>>79054211
Is that what he's going after currently?
Man, his art style is really degrading. He's set himself up in a safe space since Spumco died and hasn't ventured out.
>>79052554
Do people still think Animaniacs is good? It's basically proto-Family guy.

John apparently posted some of Kyle's art on his blog and ripped it all to shreds. If that's true it probably didn't help matters.
>>79054162
He could draw well at one point in his life. Sad to see he's sort of a laughingstock now.
>>79052554
You mean your hatred for John K
>>79054392
Kyle was dating one of the girls John was trying to woo.
>>79054466
let that sink in, you meet a cartoonist you think is great, you shake his hand as you and your girlfriend are awed to meet someone that shaped your childhood, and then he proceeds to stalk your girlfriend while posting on his blog about how much of a shithead her boyfriend is.
And the dude actually thinks this will give him more of a chance with your girl.
>>79053816
>Robin Byrd
Got the full story? I've been keeping up with this stuff for years, and I've never heard about her.

Neat. I guess we can put John K in the list of people to call a cuck.

If you showed it to him in the 90s he would have probably hated it.

John is a huge hero to me for R&S, but I know clearly that he is a huge asshole in real life.
>>79054720
Probably 1999 through early 2000s. She's in the credits for Ripping Friends, Boo Runs Wild and probably a few other things. John was dating her. She knew jackshit about writing or drawing. I think she was riding the bologna pony so John makes her be part of everything being worked on at the time, especially the writing to the chagrin of all those who had been with John for a long time, the bigger names in the credits, those who kept John on the rails or filled in where he left off. She was his Yoko whether it was her fault or his I don't know. Eventually it just drove off all the people who kept him going in the right direction. Spumco became inhabited for the most part by his fans fresh out of art school. These youngsters followed him blindly because they thought he new best. Eventually he drifted from Spumco, moving to Canada for a long time, leaving folks adrift out in Spumco, leaving them to do all the work and him putting his name on it. Its why the Jetson's stuff was so bad. A lot of it was a young Gabe Swarr. John really hates the Jetson's stuff. In a chatroom I was in that he stopped by he called the kids working there fags. Very dickish of him. Eventually I guess projects dried up as did paychecks for his loyal workers. You pay months late and eventually blind followers drift away. Eventually Spumco in North Hollywood California closed down. The location is now a weed dispensary.

>>79052985
"I don't know if modern-day furries even realize it, but this whole movement grew out of Disney fan art from the 1970s. Nerdy kids who loved Lady and the Tramp and Bambi and wished they could draw as well as Disney animators. They took the squirrel-mask face style, drew it poorly and stuck it on top of human proportioned bodies and then had nasty things happen.
Who ever thought this would grow into a full blown cult?
In the last 15 years or so, furry style has in turn influenced mainstream "decent" animation."
>>79055060
The commentary really isn't necessary. You can see the tension etched into every line on her face while John K crones about how she drew all the nipples on his sexy girls while he caresses her shoulders.
Later on he has another girl sit at his feet like a dog while he talks about her confiding in him that she got horny when she was pregnant.

Amazing to see that he admitted he didn't like the show.

Anyways that screencap is in context between what he finds appealing and what he doesn't. I don't think any reasonable human being would have a problem with the things he says look ugly to him (pic related)
>>79052706
Or because he's a thieving thin-skinned kike who hates anything that isn't his own work and stands on the shoulders of giants, and by giants I mean Ralph Bakshi.
>>79058514
Yes but he also said that Delgo is unappealing as if that really needed a fucking blog post to tell us why. He basically jumps between horrendously bad designs that weren't even really relevant at the time of him making those posts and then shit like Gerald McBoing Boing as if they deserve to be clumped together.
It would be like if I posted why modern day CG animation sucks by using Reboot as an example.
Basically, his examples could be better. They don't need to be outdated or on the extreme shitty end of the spectrum. He cherry picks to prove his point, then goes on the other end by just saying things that are flat out wrong. "Kids wouldn't like McBoing Boing designs"? Because he kids thinks are having gigglefits over his shitty art? What the fuck.
>>79052554
He's probably right. The guy knows his shit when it comes to the technical aspects of animation. Even if his art and skills have eroded over the years, I think his problem is that he has a little too much knowledge on the subject. Look at how he picks Animaniacs apart for mixing the 30s and 40s style and doing it wrong. Next to nobody would notice that, and I'm sure that nobody but him really gives a shit. And yet he keeps screaming at the wind, like an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn. Do I hate him? No, I don't. I even think that everyone could learn a thing or two with him about animation or just cartoons in general. I just think he's an idiot and a dick.
Why is he so amazingly unprofessional that he rants like the typical autistic youtube commentator?

>>79058747
>Yes but he also said that Delgo is unappealing as if that really needed a fucking blog post to tell us why
It actually did to contrast it against all his posts about Disney principles and why certain contrasts in character design are more appealing than others.
> and then shit like Gerald McBoing Boing as if they deserve to be clumped together
He was calling Gerald McBoing Boing appealing. Learn to read.
>It would be like if I posted why modern day CG animation sucks by using Reboot as an example.
It has nothing to do with "modern day" and more what sucks and what doesn't.
> Because he kids thinks are having gigglefits over his shitty art?
Well yeah, Ren and Stimpy was the Spongebob of it's time.
>>79060410
>He was calling Gerald McBoing Boing appealing. Learn to read.
Reading means nothing if you can't comprehend.
>This is appealing to other designers.
>Big eyes, all the shapes are distinct; lots of contrasts in the sizes and shapes, good composition, happy looking.
>In theory this is very professional and appealing, but I can't see it appealing to kids, because it looks too simple and it's not entertaining.
>A kid might think "Heck, I can draw that good." and the designs don't indicate that the characters have any personality-they are well designed graphic symbols.
Just because he plainly says "This is appealing" doesn't mean he means it. He goes on to say how they're bland and only appeals to artists, not to children, so in relation that means it's a failure since the product was intended for a kid audience. He also implies how cartooning should be judged by how complex it is to do. The simpler it is = The less impressive it is because kids will just think, "Heck I can do that!".
But since this is the same guy who over animates a limb by having it move 50 times in a second, I assume he doesn't understand how long of a way "less is more" can go.
He basically said Gerald is appealing but not good, which is just a roundabout way of saying this is my example of bad design.

Wasn't another injury is that a John K fanboy started fights in Adventure Time threads for like a year or more? Always going on about how new toons suck and John K is our savior.

>It's a cynical caricature of sappy cuteness. Everything about Jones -even at his best - comes off as cynical to me, like he doesn't have any love or respect of life or humanity.

Oh, John, you card.
honest opinion here
dude is a BRILLIANT caricaturist but i wish he would be paired with a more competent writer / editor. the dude needs someone to help him write compelling stories and to keep his excesses in control. it can't ALL just be exaggeration.
George Liquor and the Ripping Friends are two of my favorite things and that's without the writing being all that hot. the caricaturing is just that damn good.
also, his criticisms are dead right.
i fully support john k if that means he finally gets off his ass and takes the act of creating more seriously. i still love his stuff but i just wish it were... more.

ok so maybe dead right is an exaggeration but the man is entitled to his opinions
>>79063666
See, I can understand giving criticisms and having opinions over what you don't like. What bothers me is how he vaguely seems to imply that everything should be done the way HE does it, especially when his own style is so out there that people typically either love it or despite it.
>>79063637
The thing is that fully supporting the man without question is what led to him getting that amount of cash for a a couple incomplete minutes of disjointed garbage.
I agree fully of what the other anon said that he has a great grasp of animation fundamentals and a keen sense of style but he can't put it together by himself at all.

Confirmed John K. is not closet furry
Doesn't know how much OC there was, thinks it was mostly derivative
There's a LOT of OC furry back then. More than derivative furry even.
You don't see it today because it was pre-digital
He didn't see it then because you had to actively look for it
IIRC fanzine style publication of small run comics for people who just like furries for the sake of it and enough of them realized it at the same time to start organizing and sharing.

but everything he said about the animaniacs was true. It was clutered, the clothes bulged awkardly, wasn't remotely human... why you'd consider those are bad things is up to your taste, and he is entitled to it. He wasn't just ranting, he was giving food for thought about many artstyles in a larger blog post
Jhon K is the Chris Chan of animation, his only crime is being an aspie creep, stubborn about what he wants and not knowing where the line is about personal (and sexual) matters.
>>79053326
I think its hilarious that all of Jhon's disciples have either cut off all connection with him or fucking hate his guts and make caricatures of him in their comics. Katie and this guy are good examples of this. Even though they fucking hate the guy, they still have major influences of him in their drawing style.
If Jhon fucking hates modern western animation, what does he think about anime?
>>79066404
I really couldn't give a shit about what kind of a person someone is, I think /co/ spends WAY too much time and effort on attacking creators they don't like based on bitchy gossip about their personal lives rather than judging the stuff they create. If literally Hitler had been a good artist, his art would still have been good. Even causing the deaths of millions doesn't make someone's art worse. Or better.
John K was really good at what he did. It's unfortunate to see his work ethic decline to the level it has now, and this bizarre and jarring insertion of CGI doesn't mesh with his style at all, I'm surprised he can't see or admit that. But you can still see the care that's going into the traditional animation, even if he does seem to only spend about an hour a month on it.
>>79067044
John pls
>>79052828
Animaniacs was basically 90's Teen Titans Go~
I mean, hell, if you watch Teen Titans Go, there are some episodes that give you a kind of 'Warners' vibe with the Titans
>>79066804
He thinks it's generally shit but isn't as insulted by it as modern western animation, partly because I don't think he sees japanese as actual people.
Did John K ever comment on Superjails style?
>>79059052
He's right about the style mixing 30s and 40s, but I disagree with him about the characters looking too crumpled up. They look really bouncy, and I think they complement each other well.
Also, the oversized clothes are part of the character design. It shows that their personalities are loose and off the wall.
>>79064100
>He didn't see it then because you had to actively look for it
He went to high school with the people that drew that stuff. Because of how obsessed he is with cartoons, im sure he saw everything everyone else was drawing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZBwgz-ANwA
>>79066804
There is an interview online where he said that anime should be left to the japanese. He also said that he enjoyed astro boy.
>>79052706
>/co/ hates John K because he doesn't like Animaniacs.
Actually, I don't like Animaniacs, but John K's reaction is childish and embarrassing. John K is childish and embarrassing.
>Everything about Jones -even at his best - comes off as cynical to me, like he doesn't have any love or respect of life or humanity.
How does one arrive at that conclusion from these cute cat drawings?
>>79067424
>He went to high school with the people that drew that stuff. Because of how obsessed he is with cartoons, im sure he saw everything everyone else was drawing.
The kids in your highschool class are not a good representative sample of the whole world, anon.
>>79069428
There were kids in my high school classes that drew furry stuff on deviant art, I'd say that is pretty representative
>>79067424
>>79069508
>these two dorky kids in my freshman year
>they seem pretty chill, always drawing pretty good anime-style stuff and talking about cartoons
>nothing seems out of the ordinary, befriend them
>suddenly, weeks after the entire school has seen me hanging around with them, they start discussing furry sex MUDs loudly in the middle of classes
>>79069428
The kids in my school always drew tons of anime shit. Hell, there was a case of one girl who made ots of Invader ZIM fanart and fanfics and now she has a show.
>>79068421
Jones fucking hates cats in comparison to dogs.
>>79069637
What show?
>>79063711
>vaguely
There's nothing vague about it. I love the man's work (what's actually good) and admire his influence, but he's an egotistical asshole who needs to be kept in check.
>>79069786
The one about lesbian space minerals.
>>79070382
Fucking bullshit you went to school with her.
>>79052196
Pretty sure John K will tell you he invented 3d modeling.
>>79060908
Not too sure if it was just one preson but there was a time when it was impossible to have anything Adventure Time related without some John K freaks coming in and ruining the entire conversation.
The ever constant complaints about "doodle toons" and "pretending to be John K style" just infested every Adventure Time general.
>>79070409
What? No, there was a screencap going around. Glucose was the kind of girl you'd make fun of if you around 2005-ish.
So what I am seeing here is that John K has come full circle?
>He was some cartoon nerd
>actually got an education and got into the industry
>was fairly successful and had his own creations on tv
>few failures and was reduced to small time jobs
>not working in the industry any longer
>spends his time on the internet complaining about other people's work and trolls communities
>makes doodles on notebook paper and demands affection from the internet for it
He is pretty much doing what other people do if they never got an education and/or a job. Bitching on the internet like an edgy 14 year old and showing off his poorly scribbled on notebook paper "art" and looking for praise.
You think he would just get a Deviantart and fanfiction.net account and complete the transformation.
>>79063711
Yea this is what I am seeing. He seems to have total disdain for anything done not to his own personal specifications.
As if somehow other work from other artists are required to meet his own approval before it is displayed to the public.
>>79070578
now he makes menu animations for milkshake machines
https://vimeo.com/92366134
>>79070409
Holy shit you're dense.
>>79067589
I tend to think he would be taken a little better if he had some element of professionalism.
He could do better if he just genuinely talked about what he thought was not done correctly in X series or characters.
His angry ranting style comes off as more of a bitter crazy guy or spoiled child instead.
It just ruins the credibility.
Check that, boys

I never noticed how much Clone Wars Anakin looked like John Cena.
>>79054936
It's kind of an open secret. The guy that made Johnny Rocketfingers has a bunch of drawings alluding to it.

Why is this so funny
>>79067589
The "/co/ hates John K because he doesn't like Animaniacs." thing is a meme by someone who actually does hate John K because he doesn't like Animaniacs and wants to blame it on /co/.
>>79071561
Geez, that guy is awfull.
>>79071584
Dumb SUfag
>>79063711
> What bothers me is how he vaguely seems to imply that everything should be done the way HE does it
But he doesn't? He doesn't tell people to study Ren and Stimpy or his other drawings, he tells them to look at Disney, WB, Fleischers, Lantz, golden age newspaper cartoonists and illustrators, and even color schemes in anime.
>>79072567
He should take his own advice, then. Maybe then he'd have a job.
>>79072055
>Post SU reaction pic
>Is a SUfag
How dumb are you!?
>>79072567
No, he frequently uses Ren & Stimpy as examples of good cartooning.
>>79068421
Jones' cartoons are pretty cynical, even Feed the Kitty with having MacAnthony cry his eyes out over the cat possibly being dead.
Then of course there's THIS little green asshole...
>>79057528
Hi John, shouldn't you be animating something?
>>79071561
I see nothing about John K or Katie Rice in that image, clown. It's just a screenshot of a bad flash game.
>>79072633
his name was Mark Antony, named after the roman guy
>>79071561
Where are they?
>>79072622
Post an example then. People are always lying in these threads because they're too afraid to actually look at his blog.
>>79072607
He does get jobs. More ignorance...
>>79063711
It's a plight of anyone who aspires to be "profession" about entertainment. They can't just say they liked or disliked something, but it's all that matters. So they invent some barely relevant metric and get caught up in it.
>>79072764
Hi John.

Lying-ass motherfucka.

Shouldn't you be at work, Mr. Krinklydiaper?
>>79072633
One Frog Evening is one of the greatest cartoon shorts ever made.
But I'm a fan of shorts without any dialog.
>>79071561
playing devils advocate, because I respect katie and others, but none of them would be recognized like they are today if it wasnt for john.

It would be more interesting if you tried refuting his point, your current approach is getting tiresome.
>>79072789
>>79072822
These accusations have gotten pretty pathetic, don't you think?
>>79072839
Maybe, maybe not. You have people who worked with John yet went into an entirely different direction and got recognized more for that (Charlie Bean on Tron Legacy, for example)
Katie Rice owes some of her skills to John but after APC she started doing very different looking art compared to anything John does.
>>79072910
Go back to work, Johnny boy.What point? I haven't been keeping up. I'm just baiting replies from idiots like you. :^)

Really only this:
>http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2007/04/acting-5-ren-and-stimpy-realistic.html
Is anywhere close to saying R&S is a good example of cartooning, and even then he's mostly explaining a concept that's he's been trying to figure out.
The other posts are about the process/ keeping traditional practices alive.
Anyways, he doesn't think everything he does in perfect:
>I think the character designs (the drawing "style") are very awkward and many times(as in the examples) not well composed and don't utilize the larger principles of drawing and design.
>I can say the same thing about many many scenes in my cartoons (and I will)-but I'm not relying so heavily on "design" for my entertainment value.
>I will soon also use scenes from my cartoons to show things that don't work.
http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/11/ez-pop-little-old-lady-in-shoe-john.html
What are these rumors about John K. projecting his daddy issues into his cartoons? I remember several father figures in R&S cartoon being incredibly strict and borderline batshit insane, but never figured it could be some kind of projection.
John K make this kind of shit but talk shit about animaniacs...
So when is this coming out?

The one above and two below the Finding Nemo image.
>>79073295
There's a video out there, I'm trying to find it but having no luck, which is pretty much the same as this post. He's reminiscing about his days up at the cottage where his father would insult him to his face and to his friends because he was disgusted by the job he chose for not being 'manly enough', and he'd abuse him and be a total asshole all the time but that's okay because daddy was a real man and PLEASE ACCEPT ME DADDY I LOVE YOU DAD PLEASE
It's equal parts pitiful and disgusting.

>Grandpa and Grandma came over from the old country (Ruthenia) to escape ignorance, oppression, giant ornery bears and poverty, but carried with them the fear that if you didn't work your fingers to the bone 16 hours a day, you might lose everything you've gained. They were really nice to me. Grandpa kissed me (on the mouth!) every time we met and tried to convert me by scratching my lips off with his stubbly whiskers. I remember the only time he ever scolded me was when I grew long hair.
>He was sitting next to a picture of the greatest hippie (the guy Republicans love and ignore) in history and said: "The Lord meant for women to have long hair and men to have short hair, so I pointed to the picture and said "What about Jesus?" My dad started laughing his butt off "He's got you there Dad! You can't argue with that sonovabitch kid of mine." I could tell Grandpa wanted to make him kneel on rice kernels for 6 hours to punish him for his own back talk.
My fucking sides.
>>79073295
>>79073448
I thought he was being sarcastic about that...
>>79073523
He was, they're just being faggots and reading into shit that isn't there.
Of course people who lived through the Great Depression of Canada are going to be tough as nails, that isn't "abuse".
>>79073748
You do know that every man who has ever said, "My father was tough on me as a child, but it made me better for it" are never actually better for it?
You do know what repression and denial are, right?
>>79072689
>>79072759
The site is down. Just google Ryan Khatam John K
>>79073214
Honestly, I think he didn't make her ugly ENOUGH.
>>79055169
So he's shit and normal?
why doesnt john just go open his own studio in china or vietnam
he could teach a whole new generation to animate 'the right way', and exploit their low payscales to make himself rich
>>79074348
because since he has been given lavish deadlines and budgets he has produced utter shit. No one wants to work under John K anymore.
>>79073217
last days on coney island came out before it. So if you plug in the numbers and add up the formula, probably 1000 years.
>>79058063
>I play garbage because it's cool
>>79073855
Where are you getting neglect and repression from those posts?
>>79074810
So you admit it's cool?
>>79066768
Katie hates John? I was wondering if something was up since she doesn't seem to be friends with Kali anymore
>>79075194
She cut off all communication with him a while ago. She even tried changing her art style so that there wouldnt be as much Jhon influence in it. JK must have really been an insufferable creep if Katie decided to fuck off. He's been creepin on her since she was 16.
>>79075246
she's kind of the best example to never get in contact with your idol/inspiration
>>79053386
They dated for several years when she was of age.
>>79073514
George Liquour is real.
The only thing I despise about Jhon K is that he fucked Katie Rice in her prime before me. Fucking pos. Those baby making hips and ass should have been wrapped around MY dick.
>>79058330
Lol one off freelance jobs are not steady work. Literally no one will hire him for anything long term and they definitely won't look at his pitches.
>>79075124
He admits that people like Undertale to be cool, which is true
The "game" itself is shit, in any mode
>>79075568
>Lol one off freelance jobs are not steady work.
But it's still work, from major studios.
Are you going to give Nick Cross shit for being freelance for most of his career?
>>79075246
>She cut off all communication with him a while ago. She even tried changing her art style so that there wouldnt be as much Jhon influence in it. JK must have really been an insufferable creep if Katie decided to fuck off. He's been creepin on her since she was 16.
I used to follow her/John/Kali/Marlo online years ago although I guess not as closely as I thought because this thread is the first I'm hearing about this. Majorly creeped out.
>>79075681
Difference is Nick consistently gets freelance work from more than just "That one executive who used to be a huge fan". He's also extremely sought after from studios and studios will actually listen to him if he wanted to pitch.
John K. does not have those same privileges or prestige.
>>79075681
No but he's not completely shut out from pitching/getting consistent work, which is what he's after. He's still trying to get a series.
>>79072828
>One Frog Evening is one of the greatest cartoon shorts ever made
Get lost, Steven Spielberg.
>>79075864
John K. still pitches to people obviously since they let him do what he wants when he animates for them.
>>79073514
>He was sitting next to a picture of the greatest hippie (the guy Republicans love and ignore) in history and said: "The Lord meant for women to have long hair and men to have short hair, so I pointed to the picture and said "What about Jesus?"

;)
>>79073443
Heh, thanks for finding that. I remember an other instance of John ripping apart Kyle's work on the blog but I can't find it anywhere. Something that had to do with the colors being shit along with them being bad designs.
He probably won't get a tv series again but he's has multiple chances (Beany and Cecil, Ren and Stimpy, The Ripping Friends, APC)
The guy's kind of a dinosaur anyway; his grossout humor fetish isn't popular today and he seems to have not mastered digital animation tools.
This show is literally the best thing he has done so far.
>>79073443
He's not wrong. Those designs aren't cute.
>>79073448
Ok so his dad was a typical blue collar WWII generation guy. They were all kind of like that. Well, not my grandfather - he was chill.
>>79052144
So, what's exactly "sad?" Context?
