John K.

What does /ic/ think of John "suck my dick to get on Nick" Kricfalusi?

He's got some pretty nice tips on his blog, but I don't understand why does he hate "script-written" cartoons so much. Like, what other kind of animation there is?

>Like, what other kind of animation there is?
He's opposed to cartoons like The Simpsons, where a bunch of writers get together to make a script, and then the script is animated after the fact. He believes that the animators should be the one developing the jokes and the show should spring forth from that. It's a matter of taste, I guess. John K is very extreme in his opinions on animation.

[Anonymous No.3918363]

He has a good sense of humor (when it isnt centered around his obvious daddy issues) and makes good stuff
Alot of people pretend he lacks talent because he's a bad person. He's good at what he does but he's just a shitty person and can never finish a project on time (if at all, since his kickstarter thing has only ever been partially finished)
would Like to see more stuff from him but we all know that's never happening after his creepy escapades got aired out

Never really got into his shows but I think his advice can be useful. It's a shame that he's a piece of shit though.

Anyone know anything similar to ren & stimpy in terms of animation and unique facial expressions? Can't ever seem to find anything that comes close

He is a self-pitying, arrogant, obsessive loon who has squandered his gifts and the numerous opportunities provided to him, not to mention the money of his kickstarter backers (the damn fools).

Beyond this he is a narrow-minded blowhard with an extremely limited vision for what animation can or should be. He spends so much energy criticizing others on that damn blog of his, rather than actually doing anything himself.

It is abundantly clear that without his team, he sucks. His animation is wobbly and incoherent. His color choices are nonsensical, and his use of random CGI is bewildering. Oh and EVERY SINGLE THING he accuses other artists of doing, he does himself.

>I don't understand why does he hate "script-written" cartoons so much. Like, what other kind of animation there is?

Outline-based shows, where the board artist is both writer and artist, working from a loose outline provided by the writers. Ren and Stimpy was the first modern cartoon done this way, except maybe for Mighty Mouse, and it continues to be used for a lot of shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe.

John K, thinks that ALL cartoons should be done that way, because the artist should always be supreme in animation. John K is an idiot.

[Anonymous No.3918777]

That is one thing it will always be supreme in, I think.

I don't get why he still keeps a reputation for his 'talent' when Danny Antonucci is a better, not assholish, more productive version of him

Even though he's a shitty person, I still respect him as an artist and still believe people should look through his blog for advice. I'm sure a lot of good/popular animators on the internet has been to his blog for tips, even though they would never publicly admit it.

I'm sure if any of us did admit we respected John K's skills on social media we would be branded a "pedo apologist" since it's [current year] now.

Of course the blog was god tier back in the day. There really wasn't a whole lot of information out there at the time.

>but I don't understand why does he hate "script-written" cartoons so much. Like, what other kind of animation there is?
Animation stories used to be done by the art team themselves who storyboarded everything, if you've ever seen old behind the scenes stuff at Disney they would just have a big wall with story board drawings slapped up that they could move around. In the 70s and 80s saturday morning cartoon era a writer (non-animator) would write up a script that then got churned into a cartoon by the drones. Trauma from working under these conditions is why he holds this attitude.

[Anonymous No.3920262]

>>3920174
He's always been a pervert cartoonist preying on young talent, it's an open secret that got glossed over because he could draw and was knowledgeable. It's just since the metoo paradigm shift that the reaction to him turned from "hehe the silly ren and stimpy guy is sexually depraved" into "woah this guy might actually be dangerous".

[Anonymous No.3920274]

>>3918874
he teaches stealing colors. john k fucking hates filmation so he probably hates generic anime animation as well.
inb4 cherry picked "sakuga", most anime animation is ass.

I don't know why everyone praises his blog so much. There's as much bad advice there as good, and too much of it is dedicated to tearing down others' work, including the work of people much more renowned and respected than John. I can see it being outright poisonous to a young animator looking for guidance.

If you were on the internet in 2006-2009 trying to learn art there really weren't that many resources so stuff like the John K blog were really worth their weight in gold. In the current year we have Gnomon-tier tutorials available for free on youtube so we're not quite as starved for information. But the main reason it was good is because it had a very individual point of view, completely informed by his own specific taste (including his own research stuff into UPA style conventions or different animators at early Hanna-Barbara, and some pretty advanced design principles like hierarchy of detail). There was nothing cookie-cutter about it which still makes it stick out. There's no reason to take his curmudgeonly opinions as gospel, though, even though he writes like they are.

He's right about everything. He's just really bad at executing something that isn't a funny cartoon drawing (like being in charge of an animated show). Shame he's a pedo creep, that alone is going to set funny cartoons decades but him already being a narcissistic autist probably already did that. His career has been dead for so long before that story came out.

you see, there's this thing we've had for years called color
you can compare colors and use similar color schemes by comparing your own color pallet with what you're taking it from
people have done it for years
