@Blindrainbow, last page: When he says "a kid's storybook style," I have no idea what he means. Does he mean something like Dr. Seuss? Maurice Sendak? Mercer Mayer, even? Or does he want something akin to those crappy picture books at the doctor's office?

He means this, apparently:

@Piga Dgrifm: I have no idea. It reminds me of no kid's storybook illustrator I can think of.

Have a goal in mind when you want an illustration style. Don't go generic like he did, say something like "an early 30s cartoon style" or "a pseudo-Hanna-Barbera style."

It has come to my attention that I did not get all of the details correct in my last journal, so here is Nayolfa/Kyle's word-for-word message on the subject:

is doing an amazing job on them, we already fitted the animated figures to the background, so it’s the style we are using. But we need more people to draw in this same style since Meghan is taking a long to produce just one of the backgrounds:



If you think you can possibly LEARN to draw OR color in this style, send Nayolfa a note and he will talk about it with you. During Feburary Nayolfa is going to be learning Meghan's style so he can help out. And if there are more people doing the same, this pilot is going to be produced a lot quicker.

It’s important to note that you can just be good at coloring or lineart. In fact, actual background artist on cartoons are split into those categories to get the product out quicker.

MESSAGE IN A NOTE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!

Things you’ll need –

- A TABLET. This is digital work, and it will need to be so to transfer between all the workers.

- SKETCHBOOK PRO. The program that has all the essentials that Meghan used to create the backgrounds so far. If you can afford it, that’s fine, but if you can’t Nayolfa will get you it while your learning the style.

- WILLINGNESS TO LEARN. If you don’t have a motive to learn and your not doing this to help. Kyle will block you and you won’t get the job.

The style she uses in that picture is fairly competent and very well drawn.

I can't tell which illustrator it reminds me of, though.

Growing Around the "Upcoming cartoon" created by MrEnter and Nayolfa after seeing the fail pilot flip-flopped Enter decide to steal the idea was inspired to create his own original cartoon the basic concept is that the roles of Kid and adult are switched around.
Many have pointed out this won't work how ever Enter and his Enterbots have failed to see that and keep acting like it will go somewhere.
Despite the fact they do not have a pitch bible, and ain't even close to a finish pilot MrEnter have already written a number of episodes.

This thread if for the discussing for everything relating to Growing Around
Hasn't Disney do a film starring Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis called Freaky Friday where the adult and the teenager swap bodies for a day.
 
Meghan's talented..too talented for GA.

The brightness of her colors kinda remind me of Mary Blair. Granted, she's not close to being as good her, but what person who isn't a professional is?
 
Meghan isn't bad as an artist. She can do much better if she was working on something that would be successful. I'd drop this shit project entirely and depending on whether she's already in art school or not try to get an illustrator gig or something.

I wonder what would happen if Meghan or a VA realized that this project isn't going anywhere in its current form and tried to get Kyle and Enter to change something? They'd probably boot them from the project, thus rendering it even less likely to actually be made.

That looks nothing like a storybook. Actually, that really doesn't look like anything.

Judging by how many 'bots are pumping out scripts, I'm not confident that a VA jumping ship will stop the party. There's basically a limitless supply of Enterbots who are willing to take the places of the already existing artists and VAs.

That and actors aren't hard to come by.
