ToonrificTariq is funding his indie cartoon pilothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ncVlieUcgYou WILL be pledging, right?https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/altariqsharris/hey-an-adult-animated-sitcom-pilot
>>153509325This is “I enjoy canceling white people and calling their art problematic” art style
>>153509325Use the fucking fill tool instead of stripes ffs. The stripes are literally more work.
>>153509325"hey." is genuinely a retarded name
>>153509325>3 promo threads in 3 days
>>153509325The hatching looks incredibly terrible and a non-binary side character is an auto-ignore for me. I don't care that people want to make shows specifically for their race, but there should be merit to the premise outside of diversity. He's practically made his goal since he's a youtuber, but it will be shit.
>>153509325>People on twitter glazing this only because it's black>Demands that Glitch needs to pick this show up and for more diversityAside from more bullshit "GLITCH NEEDS TO PICK ALL INDIE SHOWS UP", the calls to support more black indie shows is painful. Painful in the sense that these obtuse people don't get that the reason millions aren't flocking to them en masse a la Digital Circus is because the premises these black creators are putting out aren't interesting. All of these black pilots always shout out their face, why is this?
>>153510064*Their raceFucking autocorrect.
If this is like Proud Family mixed with Downtown then I might support it. I'll have to check the pilot first though.
As someone who likes Tariq’s content I still can’t really bring myself to support any “pilot” made by a YouTuber. This also just looks and sounds bland, I don’t really like the art style like…at all. It looks very amateur and none of the designs really stand out.
>>153509325This looks great!
>>153510064>All of these black pilots always shout out their race why is this?I dont know. It's not like it would matter if they were white or hispanic or fuckin punjabi. The cartoon has to be more than just "black characters" and "black culture" for me to watch it.
get along gang ahh cartoon
>>153510183I haven't seen other indie pilots do this. Maybe Narco Vampires but that one is explicitly set in Mexico so all the Spanish makes sense. The other black pilots Twitter kept screaming about during the Nega controversy all were "a magical girl but she is BLACK". This is all that was offered and no shit the majority aren't into it. If this hey cartoon flops and the next indie hit is made by some edgelord, at least the twitter seethe will be funny
>>153510064>All of these black pilots always shout out their race, why is this?Anon, only complete losers take pride in their own race and feel some sort of pride in belonging to a particular ethnicity. Well except if you're black then that's just straight bussin on god no cap we gotta celebrate the culture dawg frfr.
>>153509325Ain't this black Youtuber obssesed with Family Guy from all things?
>>153509325>every character design is just Steven Universe if he was cloned to be black and had dot eyes >the plot’s only selling point is "I watched black sitcoms as a kid" and "toxic masculinity bad" This is gonna flop. Music at the start was nice though, hopefully the show leans into that.
>>153510604Why black people and Twitter love Family Guy so much?
/co/mblr will spam threads about it
>>153512672Fucking idiot.
>>153509325Good for Tariq but unfortunately i'm broke af right now
>>153512724kill yourself
>>153509729They’re all gay faced. No emotion beyond “still smiling about dogpiling a 16 yo girl’s art account until she deleted it because she drew Garnet 1 shade lighter purple than canon”
>>153509325What black cartoon has done well FOCUSING on black life?No, Proud Family doesn't count, they are like Susie's Family in Rugrats.
Why does glitch have to pick it up? Why doesn't vivziepop pick it up?
>>153515303>What blaBoondocks
>>153509325Not gonna lie, this seems alright but I feel like the hype is only because of recent indie drama about most indie animation being “anti black”. Like I don’t see how an animated sitcom with the most generic setup ever is that exciting outside of the fact that’s made by black artists, sitcoms usually rely on jokes and character dynamics and we pretty much got nothing from that teaser
>>153510064I do find it odd that how many of the same people getting mad at the tadc cast years ago for making edgy jokes years make like 50 jokes about white people everyday, like at a point, the whole “you can’t be racist against white people” line of thinking falls flat if edgy jokes from years ago means you’re racist.
>>153509325>A wokie is trying to cancel the black indie show that they desperately kept clamoring for by mentioning how heckin problematic a crew member ishttps://x.com/i/status/2051029338095767857Holy fucking shit can these fucking vultures piss off. I am so fucking tired of this genre of person trying to insert their obsession with gay internet e-celeb drama.
>>153509398I agree. That works in a comic or an animatic, but with full animation your artists are going to hate you for that design choice. MAYBE it could work if it's on a diffferent layer like in Chowder where the clothes patterns are static.
>>153517041>everyone should be aware that the person who wrote this song was jakeneutron, someone who openly associates with a neonaziWTF I love this pilot now
>>153515303This >>153515836 and the PJs. Mostly because they were willing to poke fun at black culture, rather than just pretending all of its hunky dory.
>>153517982Don't most black cartoons already do that? Even going back to Fat Albert, they were funny looking kids who played in a junkyard.
>>153518132Most black shows up to the mid 2000s did that. Around the 10's it became verboten.
>>153509325I love this guy's videos and I'm glad he's finally doing his indie pilot. I don't think any cartoon reviewer has it in them to make an actual good cartoon and I doubt this will be any different, but God bless him for trying to make his dream a reality.
>>153509921>The hatching looks incredibly terribleI think it would've been fine if the animation was was all black and white (like the animatics), or maybe if the hatching and are being hatched were different colors that fit the colors of the characters. That being said I don't hate the designs, some of them are kinda nice
>>153509325>FundedHey cool
>>153518265he's one of the few people to make a video on little lulu, so he's good in my book
>>153509325>its literally just Moesha with fat chicks and faggotsIm going to laugh my ass when they try to promote this series and most of the people showing up are gangly white troons who dont relate to the characters because average blacks dont want gays in their cartoons.
>>153509325Why hasnt Glitch picked this up? Seems right up their ally and they could use some proper representation
>>153509325FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a physical artbook?! Go easy on us, Tariq...
>>153520482>blacks hate gays>they're the racial group most likely to be gay and transWhat does this mean bros?
>>153509325Style sucks.
>>153522522>republicans hate gays>Grindr escort rates skyrocket everytime theres a a repub convention in townits a mystery anon...
>>153522556>"QUICK!" HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?!"
>>153509325This shit is FOR BLACKS.
>>153509325Why do indies never credit musicians?
>>153509921>a non-binary side character is an auto-ignore for me.This.Promoting Gender Identity Ideology bullshit is a total dealbreaker.
>>153510146It’s going to be people standing around and talking. The sort of thing that doesn’t take advantage of the visual medium whatsoever.It will be daft piña’s pilot all over again.
>>153522522> they're the racial group most likely to be gay and transNTA, but got a source for that? I’m genuinely curious
>>153510064Did you watch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Well, you've watched every sitcom about Black people.God, it's like they don't know how to talk about anything other than Black people. At least sitcoms with white people try to give each show a different flavor.
>>153509325Shit's woke.
>>153509325Damn what a waste of Dan Haskett
>>153509325>>153509729
>>153510346Fake. If you're white, you have all the reason in the world and the history to back you up on the belief that you're just better and more advanced than other races of people and is naturally owned to that recognition without having to ask.No scientific achievement has ever been attributed to a black man, the institutional megacorpos like baasedgle and wokepedia have to lie constantly to not make the disparity between whites and colored not look as bad.You're just coping because you're brown and overcompensating by posting a white-coded pic or you have a white saviour complex.
>>153523687>baasedgleDamn censorship, I meant $○○¥gle.
>>153510064>Demands that Glitch needs to pick this show up and for more diversityThat is probably the funniest thing, considering all the discourse the past two weeks about TADC.
>>153509325BUY AN AD
>>153522556NTA, but taking Grindr's word at face value is retarded
>>153522636the idea is that the most ardent fag bashers tend to be self hating faggots, retard.>>153522806Its mostly happening on the coasts, basically half the fatherless black zoomers living in california and newyork are becoming gay ass fuck. These guys also just happened to be the artsy types becoming vocal on social media, so it gives the impression that all blacks are gay, but in reality the bulk of them still have religious leanings and are homophobic as fuck, they just dont whine on twitter about it.
>>153524439This has never even been much of a criticism since facing temptation from a sin gives motivation to hate a sin. Someone who never had to deal with a sin won’t have as much emotion about it. Temptation doesn’t define you, actions do
>>153509325I think this is a nice idea, even if I'm not the target audience. The artstyle is a bit amateurish and I'm not a fan of the hatching on the eyes, in smaller images it makes the face hard to read. The song is catchy and the characters seem likeable enough. I am curious about the hook of the show, however. It says it's inspired by shows like the Boondocks, but that displayed both the ups and downs of being black which leads to interesting stories. While a show being positive is nice, if it's just a cosy-fest I can't see it being interesting. I know this place is probably going to be biased on this, but I thought I would share my two cents.After all is said and done, I'm glad it hit its goal, it's great to see more indie animation, especially from diverse backgrounds.
>>153509398>>153517105>>153518626I've been against the crosshatched eye pupils/cast shadows since he first revealed them. My guess is he does this as a way of emphasizing the "hand-crafted" aspect of hey.'s animation, but it seems more like unnecessary extra work to me. Couldn't he have instead gone with looser drawings or less uniform line art on characters or certain background shots, or even what >>153517105 suggested with texture compositing? I'm sure there were better ways to approach this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DzlMKyu3sA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLwsWc13Xzc
>>153523687>No scientific achievement has ever been attributed to a black manWhy are racists always either bad faith or just genuinely retarded?
>>153509325Third girl on top is my only would.
>>153520511Because it looks fucking stupid. Glitch tends to favor shit that actually moves. This is just going to be people standing around and talking. The epitome of “created by a writer”.
>>153524439> Its mostly happening on the coasts…Saying what you already said but with more words is not a source
>>153523687> No scientific achievement has ever been attributed to a black manWut

>>153509325>You WILL be pledging, rightPromo showed nothing about the characters or their implied interaction with each otherNo sitcom premise/conflict/hookCannot fucking stand the hatchingI would rather just give Dan Haskett money directly for everything he's already done
good threads were murdered for this shit

reading the tweets for this are pretty funny, half the replies are desperate college grads begging for work, and the other half are retarded zoomies who think the kickstarter is enough for a full series not just a 10 minute pilot that will be forgotten within a month of its release.
>>153525960>Ironic redaction Kill yourself
>>153526070__.
IDWTBAMG is the only good indie black girl kino.>Decent concept>Appealing character designs>Drawn by someone with actual art skill>Professional voice acting>Actually entertaining to watch
>>153525995Really? Because the response I've seen to this is begging to make this a popular black made cartoon, which is an obvious push to atone that racism drama from a while back
Real Tariqheads remember the first webseries he cut his teeth on https://youtu.be/4jEY0PVQEaM
>>153526433Im curious what the end goal for this is. With the style theyre going for, it wont be cheap enough to animate as a pure youtube series like Space King. and the designs arent toyetic enough to push merch, I doubt people will rush to buy a 50 dollar plush of the green jacket dude.
>>153526431Nah, this one's shit too >Appealing character designs>Drawn by someone with actual art skill>Professional voice acting>Actually entertaining to watchL fucking MAO
>>153526483And shocker, if he just filled in the blacks instead of the weird hatching, it looks way better
>>153509325I like Tariq's stuff, so I wish him luck. That said: why does EVERY single indie creator,EVERY SINGLE ONE.Give their works the least marketable titles known to man?
This shit sucks, man. I dope $uprDee's stuff gets picked up before this crap, even if he doesn't plan on going full animation, because he already has voice talent
>>153526756seriously, what the fuck is he thinking kek, thats gonna be a nightmare to search up. That name is almost as bad as Zeural making publishing his 300k passion project on a brand new channel with 0 following
>>153527015I like Rosebuds but come one thats even more generic than this lol.
>>153527015Rosebuds wouldnt even work outside the paper strip format. a full length cartoon would basically just be Clarence with brown girls instead of a fat white boy, boring as fuck.
>>153509325indie tards mad because they can't handle an ounce of melanin
>>153523687>I have no scientific accomplishments myself but because other people of my race have those accomplishments, I feel validatedAbsolute retard logic
>>153509325Style is simultaneously ugly and appealing. They might need someone more experienced with colors on this project.
>>153527747Yeah a lot of people here are critical of the hatching but for me it’s that the color schemes are really bad. Genuinely just needs someone with some good coloring to come in and fix things.
>>153527747the creator is a peanuts autist, so thats why it has a uncanny valley effect where you cant tell if it old or contemporary
>>153509325>Black people just kind of existingIs there really a market for this in the indie space?I figure if somebody is moving away from mainstream corporate animation they are going to want to watch something that takes advantage of the medium more than a slice of life sitcom about normal humans in normal human situations. Also the weird Charlie Brown references and 90's sitcom theme song give it an air of something stuck in the past and not in a cool throwback kind of way.
>>153509325The hatching over the eyes and other facial features looks off, but the concept looks alright. Would be interesting if they filled the eyes in solid color and maybe use hatching some other way if that’s their trademark thing.
>Dude who likes Charlie Brown, Hey Arnold, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers is making that, but black.Don't get me wrong, his Charile Brown videos are kino, but...

>>153528011A sitcom for black people by black people is an untapped market. It's supposed to be like Bob's burgers so it has promise at least. I'm just glad to see a fellow nigga make some art.
>>153529936>A sitcom for black people by black people is an untapped market.untapped for white audiences too, a Boondocks or Fresh Prince-tier animated indie show would be eaten up pretty quick by a certain type of white audience.

>>153509325I swear I'm not racist but I really hate the vibes of this.
>>153531199The patents are the only verifyable sources that this dude existed or ever did anything. Most of the claims in the hall of fame link are unsourced and mostly just hearsay made to make his "achievements" seem grander than they actually are on paper, not a situation at all comparable to Galileo who is a very well documented historical figure with various different testimonies to back up his background. On to the so called "accomplishments", "Improving something" does not equal "inventing it" no matter how you twist it and, sure, inventing a bunch of useless creams that never made to commercial use could be interpreted as a "black invention" to a dunce willing enough to believe it, but it's far from what anyone means when they ask to know what black people have invented and denying that is triviliazing the concept of a "scientific achievement/invention" and "contribution to science" to whatever standard you feel is fit enough to push an agenda instead of what makes sense for literally everyone else, yet, I am the one moving goalpoasts here? Give me a break.
>>153509325He didn't mention it, but there were plenty of effeminate/buck broken black male characters this past decade, brought to you by white Californians. Sheesh, even Adventure Time greatly softened and pussied up Marceline's black male counterpart for the Fionna and Cake series.Can't blame him for wanting to go in a more "true" direction

>>153509325This guy was furious white people didn't like the Proud reboot and screeched they're not needed or wanted.
>>153509325He's really been emphasizing Dan Haskett's contributions--for good reason--but I also noticed Joanna Davidovich did some rough animation for the pilot apparently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqJQAgBPBSA Pretty neat, I love her work
>>153527090>>153527262>>153527015Rosebuds has the added benefit of leaning heavy into visual comedy and slapstick humor and making story arcs that feel like cartoon episodes. Knowing he has connections in the animation industry it's probably only a matter of time.
This is real!? I thought it was a Family Guy bit from the clip I saw!
>>153527015If we're talking any of his stuff being picked up in general, I'd want to see a Pen & Ink cartoon. The little I know about it seems like the project that'd get the most out of being animated since it's about artsy sisters and he's done animations with them in the past.https://youtu.be/yA3yZZENneQ
>>153529801>Sitcoms are popularYeah>With everyoneNahThe 'adult cartoon sitcom' is considered a cliché
>>153535731Their popularity has only gone down because 80% of them are made by hacks who dont even care about cartoons, they're just trying to copy familiy guy or Rick and Memey and hope theyll be an insta hit. This is seems more grounded, which I think will attract people, theres lots of young people who are fatigued with the hyper violence and sexuality going on everywhere, something more down to earth will be a good pallete cleanser.
>>153509325holy fuck I thought I was looking at a CoTC reboot because of the character in the middle right.
I still want adulting. I want waifus, not comedy.
Jeez, this thread took an ugly turn.I'll concur with the hatching style that it feels a bit off in animation, but at the same time it's a great way of making it stand out and an easy thing to copy for people who want to make OCs or fanart in that style. I think that's something that isn't considered enough with art styles whether they lend themselves to recreation by others.
>>153533897Did anyone outside of the most soilent sucking retards actually like the Proud Family reboot?
>>153537313its because theres really nothing to go on, so all the /pol/larpers are just making up fuel for their hate boners. Hopefully by the end of the real well have something to more positively engage with.
What are the chances this will get picked up? I think the more laid back atmosphere would fit one Hulu.
>>153537395I am NOT a tranny
>>153536374Agreed. That show had pretty, charming white waifus. Who would greenlight this shit for niggers over that show with aesthetically pleasing nice white folks? I mean seriously who wants to watch this shit? It's nothing but a buncha fuckin niggers.

Bell - invented the quantitative display apparatus - David Blackwell - First proposed the Blackwell channel model used in coding theory and information theory; one of the eponyms of the Rao–Blackwell theorem, which is a process that significantly improves crude statistical estimators- Henry Blair - invented seed planter and cotton planter - Kwabena Boahen - Bioengineer who created a silicon retina able to process images in the same manner as a living retina- Otis Boykin - Artificial heart pacemaker control unit- George Carruthers - Invented ultraviolet camera/spectrograph, which was used by NASA when it launched Apollo 16 in 1972- Charles W Chappelle - Designed long-distance flight airplane- Marian Croak - Engineer known for her Voice over IP (VoIP) related inventions- James H. “Nick” Curtis - Organic ionogen for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, cationic dialdehyde polysaccharides for wet strength paper and others- John Dabiri - Expert on jellyfish hydrodynamics and designer of a vertical-axis wind farm adapted from schooling fish- Chuck Davis - Inventor of the pROSHI neurofeedback deviceThere are tons more. Bonus, here’s a pic of Katherine Johnson whose calculations of orbital mechanics were critical to the first several manned space flights. Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths for Project Mercury spaceflights, including those for astronauts Alan Shepard and John Glenn, and rendezvous paths for the Apollo Lunar Module and command module on flights to the Moon. Her calculations were also essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a human mission to Mars.
