Moho Forum

Just for fun:

it seems like you all want to use my thread for your own shameless promotion, well before you continue to think that you have it made think again, because don't go thinking that some opportunity from an animation network or film company will just simple fall on your lap because it wont you are just one in a million people who just don't have the ability to obtain the proper connection in order for your hard work to be seen by the right person and if you are doing this for the art then ... yea right!
if you were you would not post your work on my thread but make your own thread but, since you are are one of those who would jump on an other persons band wagon, I as the driver of said band wagon will through a bone...

If you think you can do a Google search and get the names, phone numbers and personal email of the top acquisitions people from the top animation net works like I do then think again because I tried to do a Google search years ago and there not out there, you will have to find out the hard way like I did it did and I wont tell, but I will show you who some of those networks are and what there looking for and it is not what your creating but, none the less since I'm such a sweet guy i would like for you to know who they are and what there looking for.

Hello Sargumphigaus.

WOW, somebody has been watching a little too many horror films.
I'm just kidding, these animations are great. Dark and funny at the same time. These were good Sargumphigaus.
I had seen a couple of these on the forum before. good stuff.

no they don't I just went there and there are no name and emails so anyone can send them any thing and it's only for BBC not to any other network and those emails if any are for you poor schmoes who have to get in line in order to be seen and you have nothing to send them any way.

and by the way I am the only one I can say for a certainty in this forum to actually be in the game while every one just wishing I am submitting.

make your own threads!

Abner, if are you are finally coming around then welcome to the community. Everybody knows you take pot shots at people. That's why everybody pushes back. Slowtiger is one of those professional animators who does a lot to help people. If you insulted him, as far as I was concerned, there's no hope for you. Thanks for the information.

You can call it whatever you want. Unlike you, I have a strong preference to develop my ability and have fun with it before I even entertain the notion of seeking out an agent. I may never even bother. That's not why I do what I do. My act of "Shameless" self promotion was strictly to annoy you. Clearly it worked.

It is clear your are jealous of my continues creating animation in a constent pace regardless if you think I am traiding qualaty for quantaty.

sargumphigaus your animation is relay poor and extremely low brow and I don't understand how you can criticize any thing seeing how your animation is not even in the normal level (Man! your cartoon is sick even for Adult swim) so I can see that you can not even do any thing close to my style and I can and will make a better animation when I make my super hero animation in which I am right now animating as we speek

you know, you're right. You're absolutely right. Clearly I'm in the wrong business. Well, I guess I'll just throw in the towel and call it quits. Good bye everyone. Scabs has shown me the error of my ways. I'm going to become a Sumo Wrestler. Which has always been my secondary dream career.

although truth be told, I'm more jealous of your masterful utilization of the written word. Have you considered writing a novel?

Scabiebabie wrote: shameless promotion on my heels bro can't you make your own thread here on this forum?

I'm LMAO at you too. "Keeping up with you" would require me to downgrade my animation skills back to how they were when I was a twelve-year-old boy; I'd also have to downgrade my maturity to that of a twelve-year-old boy. I'll admit, keeping up with you would be a tough task to uphold.

Anyways, I don't have the time to waste on your threads anymore; I'm going to be too busy working on my own "shameful" animations. Have a nice life.
