AnonymousYou think TUMBLR would have an official account for this sort of thi- heeey wait a sec…
Me when I’m giving out criticism
Now now. You shouldn’t get defensive or angry just because I’m giving my honest opinion. No work is perfect and you should accept that you might’ve missed the importance of this-
Me when I’m being given criticism by someone else
What the hell is this guy’s problem? Man why is he being such a condescending asshole? I put hard effort into this and he’s just brushing this off like it’s nothing!? What an asshole.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, GUYS
The folks following me here on Tumblr may or may not know that I work at Six Point Harness animation studio (the folks behind Nickelodeon’s El Tigre, MTV’s Good Vibes, The Drawn Together movie, and more). And you may or may not know that Six Point is home to Ed Skudder and Zack Keller, creators of the Mondo series, Dick Figures. You probably remember it from posting animated gifs of the characters doing funny things on your tumblrs a lot.
The style of Dick Figures is very much about using simple character designs to allow animation quality you wouldn’t normally be able to pull off with a youtube series budget. The people here work very hard on it, and have really made something to be proud of.
Some fans have expressed interest in a Dick Figures movie, so Ed and Zack have decided to take it to kickstarter. Crowd sourcing the movie like this means that they would be able to make it their way, without having to rely on producers who would turn the process into a matter of committee approval and quite likely turn it into something completely different than the creators envision.
Funding this project would be amazing, it would completely revolutionize the options available for the creators of animated features in this day and age.
The kickstarter is asking for $250,000 for a half-hour special, but if we make it to $700,000, we can produce a full hour and a half feature film. Contributing to this kickstarter, or even just spreading the word along means you are personally supporting the livelihood of every person in our studio.
And I cannot stress how much that means to all of us.
Today, I made some calming manatees, but most of them are the wrong size to go on the site.
Oh well. Would you like them?
Oh my god this is BEAUTIFUL

Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.
make a nice jumper n pants out of that shit and then go to war, be invincible, never back down
Science boner.
science boner.
science boner
re: you’d be invincible
its also the best insulator
you would die of heat exhaustion within minutes
also the shockwave from a blast still mulches your insides even if say, the big eod suit you’ve got on comes out intact.
The stuff is still expensive as shit apparently.
Good luck even holding some of it not in a lab or something.
EDIT: Or maybe not?
If you’re ok paying 30 bucks for a single disc of this stuff you might be able to pull it off. Dunno how much shipping would cost though.
