Just a blog used to update people about my progress on various video games, animations, comix, and other projects that I will do in the future

Explanation of certain things

Sorry I write so much. I realised that last article was looooong. So, I already introduced the show, what is left to talk about?

The title:

Well for the most part, TMJ is copyrighted material. considering I used the name of the mmo the creator of dsipaint was (and is still) making, it’s safe to say I probably can’t use it this time around. O.K., the reason I named it TMJ was because 1. i have a thing for acronyms. :P and 2. it was paying tribute to the site, because the site was where I met my great friends, so I owe it to the site just as much as to my friends. however, the site is named dsipaint. ....let that sink in. ...dsipaint. ...yes. I really wasn’t able to do much with that name. it didn’t really reflect the darker, more actiony story I was going for. (and failed to achieve.) I mean I couldn’t call the show “dsipaint adventures” or something like that. it sounded too... corny. also, I couldn’t really just name the town after the site either. I mean common... paint town? the city of dsi? the island of dsipaint? still sounds corny. So instead, I used the name of the mmo. I did actually mail the creator of the site and ask him if I could use the name of the mmo as the name of my show (so no, I didn’t just steal it.), however, let’s be honest, at that time I was a dumb middle schooler, and I was making an animated series in flipnote hatena. I think he didn’t really see the harm in it when he gave me permission. Now, if I'm going to this show seriously, I probably can’t use that name anymore due to legal reasons. so I’m going to have to think of a new title.

The story:

yes, well, I wanted to do a new story. I had kinda already skewered the old one with my lack of ability, so I’m just starting with a clean slate. New world, New lore, same characters. reason? Well, other than I already kind of messed up the story, I didn’t just want to keep going. so why not reboot the world? because I didn’t want to retread old ground. This is a thank you note, I want it to be original, and I want to put my all into this. Does that mean I am compleatly abandoning the world I set up in the first series? No. There are some elements and parts of the story that I actually do like. So I think I will carry over some parts or elements of the old story. Other than that, this is a completely new story.

So how are you going to do this without any flipnote 3D in america?

No. No there isn’t. Ever since I did the original TMJ, I have been learning new methods of animation, artistic design, storytelling, and drawing because of my video game hobby. Also I have a youtube account. Also, I got a bunch of new equipment and software for christmas. The first few episodes will probably look a little bit weird, as I am getting used to the new software and equipment, but I will get the hang of it and it will look better over time. I will be uploading the videos to youtube, and linking them here as well for those of you who want to see. Also, I’ll get to work on making an official website for the series at some point. Thats my plan at least. we’ll see how it works out.


any details other than the ones I mentioned are still in planning stages and are being debated over.
