Welp I guess some people made online enemies and got their notes hacked

I think it was done for larfs and nothing else; just digging in the laundry of those with potential shame

If you have some things to feel shame about you should probably do so and stop sucking you complete waste of life

Otherwise just cry and hug and pretend like you learned something ("WHAT A CRAZY ROLLER COASTER IT'S BEEN" etc)

If you were hacked and feel violated like your soul has been wrenched from your very person and nobody wants you at the Christmas party anymore I guess you can sue for slander if none of it is true

unless it's true because then you probably deserve it

you filth

You made the right decision. Thank you.

Thank you for 1000 pageviews, my lovelies. Also, thanks for never bothering to check out my website which is PLANET-JIM.NET or share it with anyone, you dickheads. Your indifference has only spurred me on to make more regular material for it. even though I'm teaching myself Esperanto, tutoring ESL students, making a huge poster, and have grad school work to do.

I hope you're happy with yourselves.

but srsly tho thx

In celebration of Red Letter Media's announcement of the forthcoming Revenge of the Sith review, I've served up a picture of Mr. Plinkett for you all. Enjoy, and try not to get your cat pregnant.

hey who wantsa pizza rollll

I wrote a dirty sexy cheeseburgery piece of erotic poetry.

Laugh at it, recoil at it, derive some other form of base pleasure from it. But above all, have fun.

CLICK HERE FOR PHYSICAL TRAUMA FUN!!

Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed making.

Oh wait, is this his page? Does he run this page? It's not our site but it's got his username on it...I don't know. This is the address he gave. So anyway, the guy who I guess runs this page is on vacation, so me, Jim--that's me--and Clive and everyone else won't be showing up for the next little bit. Well, maybe. I mean he might make another comic about us but for right now he's taking a break for a bit. Oh does he even post our stuff here? I don't see it anywhere...oh, there's the link to his site up there, so I guess...yeah. Well this place had some weird stuff on the front page, like pictures of naked people doing things with their bodies, so maybe that's why he doesn't put us on here. The people in the pictures seemed kind of calm and relaxed about the things they were doing like they enjoyed it and it wasn't a big deal. So maybe that's okay? I guess it could be. Or maybe they're doing those things because they're stressed. But if they unstress by doing those things, does that mean they always have to do those things to be unstressed? Do they have other pastimes? I like making music for the local party club when I need to relax, is that something they also do to unwind? I don't get i

sorry I just got kinda confused there for a minute. The long and short of it is that the eviljimchristo guy is on vacation, so when you go to the site, the Planet Jim site, you won't see us there for the next little while. But he said he hasn't forgot about us or anything, which is good, cause a lot of stuff has been happening between Clive and Jerry and me, along with Jerry's sister, Chelsea. She's 473 pounds and in a wheelchair. And she's pretty mean. But Jerry can stay at our place so it's okay. Sometimes he keeps Clive awake with his TV games, but Clive's a light sleeper so that might be part of the problem there.

um so Yeah, I mean you'll see us again pretty soon. I mean, within the month at least. He said something about Pay Pals and a poster? Maybe that's what's taking so long. But take care, and we'll get together, maybe hang out in the TV basement den and have some kraft dinner. I got some HP sauce and also ketchup to put on it if you're into that sort of thing. Me, I'm more into HP for the bitey flavour but Jerry likes ketchup so I'm sure he'll bring it out for you.

See you real soon,
Jim

my greedy anemic arthritic toothless toy poodle found a pack of gum he found on the floor and is desperately trying to open it.

WITH HIS GUMS.

ahahahahaha Jasper you little retarded glutton stop coming back to it every minute and a half, it's not like you're catching it off guard

Why are you making the innocent pastime of tickling into some creepy ass fetish fodder

And why do you have to make it like 80 times creepier than most other fetishes

I mean tickling?!?!

For God sakes some of us like tickling in this fun cute way

But then you have to go and be like "HURPA BLURF LET'S SEXUALIZE IT 8B"

Fuckers D:<

Has anyone here ever noticed how many kids' cartoons feature characters who eat a lot or expand in some other way?

If it wasn't a character whose gimmick was eating/fatness, it was an isolated scene where the characters pigged out or something

Man I can think of 10 shows right now that did this at some point. It didn't even have to be relevant to the plot, it was just the artists were like WE MAKE NICE AND FAT :> all of a sudden

I realize that animators are always trying to sneak their fetishes and naughty things into their work, because a lot of the stuff they're made to work on is often very sterile and generic (especially these days) so they're trying to use the characters as an outlet for sexual desires to keep their passion for the project up. But this is one interest that ALWAYS seemed to weasel its way in, no matter which company was doing the animation.

I'll admit that chunky people can be fun to look at sometimes (if they're still attractive with the poundage), and the idea of eating yourself huge and happy is understandably erotic. But why is it that EVERY animator seems to have the same interest, especially when so many people are turned off by fat and it so often makes a person look uglier? What is it about fatness and gluttony that cartoonists are so attracted to?

Poster project is coming along, the rough pencilling's almost done.

New comic is vastly overdue again, I've just been consumed by the other thing. I need discipline badly. :(

I made a drawing for  clayton which you can view in my submissions. I love doing little pics like that; if anyone wants me to draw a clean picture of me with them for free just go ahead and ask. It'd give me something to actually do at work.

I love trying new styles and mediums. I love going from detailed and anatomically precise works to cartoony and simple, expressive stuff. I've discovered the fun of painting recently, and I've been drawing naked models for the past 9 months now. Comparing my work from February 2009 to July 2010 is like looking at the work of two different people. (I still love my old stuff though, even if it's a little less organized than what I make now.)

If I look at my stuff, I think I'm more of an expressionist type of artist. In fact I think most cartoonists are, whether they know it or not. Expressionism is where you use the principles of perspective and anatomy, but you exaggerate the colours, angles and proportions of things to get the maximum amount of contrast and emotional impact across. Cartoonists do this out of necessity--the subject is the characters, and you don't have the time for complicated colour or texture work. Painting is all about the way light hits a subject, but cartoonists rarely have this luxury--they're all about the subject itself, because it's all they have the time and resources for. So they exaggerate the subject, go crazy with the expressions, the movements, and the perspective in order to make up for the lack of visual depth. It's a fun challenge and if you're inspired enough, you can achieve some great things with it.

But again, your inspiration for the subject depends on how much of an emotional bond you share with the character. That doesn't mean you have to go all autobiographical and make a character exactly like you, because there's so much of that stuff out there clogging the graphic novel sections these days, and if you're always talking about yourself, you'll be telling the same story over and over. The question to ask is, what do the characters represent to you? Friends? Enemies? The characteristics you wish you had? The ones you wish you didn't have? If you abstract things a little bit and figure out the kinds of people you like and don't like, you can start contrasting these people against each other and create a compelling situation for them. It's all about how much affection you can muster for your characters, because this will force you to develop them fully and treat them as human beings, rather than caricatures you'll get bored with after a month.

DON'T CRY FOR ME

I'M ALREADY DEAD

Hey! There's a new Planet Jim comic on the Planet Jim site. http://planet-jim.net for the scoopid, shtupid!

Goddamn there are so many fucking pedos and faggots and dogmonglers on this site I just want to kill

Seriously just because your redneck dads touched you it doesn't mean the world needs to hear about your retarded bullshit

Turn yourselves in and get shivved already

especially if you're a baptist

I'm working really hard on the next Planet Jim comic, which has taken about 3 months to produce. I had to create a painting for charity that took up a lot of time. But meanwhile I'm rockin and rollin and there should be another single-page character piece in the near future.

Hello, I found out a bunch of some people have trouble making drawings. SO I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE

DRAWING

OKAY first you need to have paper and a pencil (mechanical pencils are a tidy and less blotchy) or like a computer with a mouse or pen thing hooked into it and pen or brush pen or paints or markers and I THINK WE'RE READY.

So what you do is first GET A REALLY GOOD IDEA inside your head. Like, really good.

also this is really important: DO NOT USE GUIDELINES!! at first. Guidelines are only for when you are making complicated scenarios with backgrounds and perspectives wherein there are lot of proportions and foreshortening goin' on. Even then, NEVER DRAW GUIDELINES LIKE STICK FIGURES with the same shape of head and length of limbs, otherwise everyone looks p. much the same and there's no COOL CONTRAST and remember CONTRAST = VISUAL INTEREST = EMOTION!!! So draw guidelines to reflect the crazy shapes of different people's heads and proportions, just to show where stuff is going to be.

Okay so now that you know that it is time to get DRAWIN

So you have a cool idea and it's deliciously clear in your head BUT WAIT!! Some parts of the image are clearer in your noggin that others! You might see your characters eyes first, real clear, but everything else is kind of helter skelter and wooly. SO DRAW THE SUPER-CLEAR STUFF FIRST. If this is eyes, draw eyes first. Actually eyes are probably the best part because they inform where the other stuff goes. Of course though, if the mouth is clearer, draw that, and then fill everything else in. JUST MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE ENUFF SPACE, PUNK. >:I

you may have to erase and try again, erase and try again, until all the character's features fit on the page. But when they do...

BOY HOWDY! your picture lookin good. Now just ink that sucka. Don't worry about being retentive-like and doing every little itsy bitsy line, just do the details you like. You can do every line too, but only if you want a messy kinda look.

Okay now you can shade if you want BUT IT'S UP TO YOU. Hatching is where you do little tiny scratches along the edges of the character's face and body. Remember to keep 'em all on the same side otherwise it'll look like he/she just got dirt on themself.

NOW YOU ARE DONE! PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK SOLDIER It's all about chillaxn an maxin. Don't push too hard. only do the detail bits if they help get the character's physical presence across more strongly. For instance, in my Daniel-san pic, I decided to keep the details all on his face and make his body look real crappy because it looked more awkward that way, and I wanted the pic to be super-awkward. This is also a good excuse if you're just lazy but still want people to think you're A SUPER-DEDICATED ARTIST GRRRRR D:<

Also draw more hands!!! THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF A CARTOON CHARACTER ARE FACE AND HANDS. THEY CONVEY ALL THE EMOTION OF THE CHARACTER. THE BODY IS JUST A NAMELESS LACKEY, LIKE AN INTERN FOR THE FACE (CEO) AND HANDS (SENIOR VP). This isn't to say that the body isn't important, but drawing crappy hands and detailed bodies will make you look like you can't draw 50% of the character's emotions. People use hands when they speak, and even when they don't speak. Some people can only speak with their hands! This means that hands are saying everything the face can't say! So make hands look good. Hands are also fun to practice because they can be just as varied as faces--stubby, langrous, supple, sweaty, rubbery, doofy, graceful, chubby--anything! Draw an appropriate body to connect the face and hands and your audience will be HAPPY AS CLAMS. :V

That's pretty much everything I knows for drawing characters. ALSO REMEMBER: Guidelines are great for comics with tiny panels, because it's so hard to squeeze everyone in and make them look proportionate. SO again, use them just for complex scenarious, or tiny scenarios where precision is crucial.

DRAWING IS FUN!!!!HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Ahahaha
