Title: Hei-ho!
Post by: Joker on March 17, 2012, 12:44:08 PM
Hiya! I'm new around here. I was planning on joining to become a Clock Friend, under my better known alias, JJokerDude, but my good friend Zen Micro Clock suggested I try to become a Clock myself... So, you guys can call me Shyguy. Or Josh. Or JJokerDude. Or whatever the hell you want to call me.

A little about myself... I'm an animator. I don't have very many animations online, though. The few that I've posted on Youtube aren't my best works, the several that I have posted to my webpage were unprofessional, and the one that I uploaded to Newgrounds a looooong time ago was a terrible, terrible joke which destroyed my batting average. However, I'm currently a student at the University of the arts, in my Junior year, and I have gained considerable amount of experience animating in the past couple of years.

I hope that by joining this site, perhaps I'll be inspired to create more animations in my spare time, rather than making them solely for school projects. I also look forward to getting to know people around here, and being part of a community. Hopefully that will make me less of a shy guy.

EDIT: Crap, there's already a Shyguy Clock. I thought I had checked for that. Coming up with a new alias now.

Hey man, any friend of Zen Micro is a friend of mine. Welcome, welcome.

Pick a fun clock name that you can design a character and stories around. Mario characters = not a lot of room for that. :/


Be Gorillagator clock.

Thanks, Zen Micro! I forgot to mention that I screw around with music as well, but it's more of a hobby. My Youtube channel consists mainly of custom K.K. Slider covers, Cave Story custom .org files, and Wario Ware D.I.Y. songs, for those interested in that sort of thing. Nothing original, though.

Thanks for the heads up, Pop-tart Clock. And as badass as gorillagator sounds, I might go with Baguette Clock. I'll think about it first, though. Sucks, I already pulled together a dancing Shyguy Clock, too.

welcome to the clock crew. we need more fantastic animators.

Thanks, Chalk Clock. I'll do my best to do the clocks justice as an animator.

Ribes, I appreciate the suggestion, but I have no idea who that is. However, a friend of ours was planning on using a similar design if he became a clock... Except with Eddie Murphy's face.

I'll think my name over for a while. I've got about six months anyway, right?

In the meantime, here's a baguette clock.

Thanks, all you guys, I have a feeling I'll fit right in here.

I've decided on Joker Clock. Will upload it to the FLA library as soon as I figure out how... It's just B.swf for me. Do I need to wait a certain amount of time after registering?

EDIT: Never mind, I guess the links I was clicking were broken. The one on the front page works. However, can somebody tell me how to request a name change? The FAQ says it's in the User CP, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Settings > Edit Profile > Vanity Name field. This will change the name that appears when you post, but not the one you use to log in - let a mod or administrator know if you want that changed to match.

This is a good Clock name, but I just gotta know...

ME Joker, Batman Joker, Cicero, Playing Card Joker, or plain old Jester?

I will agree that this is the best Joker to pick.

You guys are fucking hilarious.

I'd rather not make another human-based clock. I was thinking like, a court jester. It would just be a stylized joker hat with a clock face. I realize SillyPutty wears a jester hat, but as Joker Clock, I would be the hat itself.
Also, thanks Pop-tart, I just felt the urge to explain my edits lol. A little obsessive, but I've never posted on a forum that let me explain what each edit was. I'll probably get bored with that eventually.

Should I regret linking my Facebook account here? Lol

Not only Silly Putty.. but we also had a Kefka who was very jester-like.. then of course there's Tricky..

I dunno, man. Bananasaurus Rex is a good name, just sayin.

tricky is more a clown than a joker

I don't see Kefka on the list, and Tricky is more clownlike, as Astronaut said...

I appreciate the heads up, though. And Bananasaurus Rex is indeed an awesome suggestion, but I dunno if it's for me. I'd rather stick with an alias I'm used to.

Besides, I already made this:

I know... and Joker is a good clock name... I'm excited to see what he does with it.

I'm just saying that names like Flounderman, Dwarfinator and Corpsegrinder also open the door for all sorts of whacky stories. Don't be afraid to challenge the status quo think out of the box drive change \\\butts///

I like the animation of your character. Very awesome, I love the idea of having the jingle-ball parts move in tandem with the overall gesture.
