THUNDER THURSDAY #83: Book Requests, and a Tutorial Question!

Hey folks, Paul here for THUNDER THURSDAY! Today marks one month since the book came out–I’ve been thrilled with the journey so far, and I’d love to keep the momentum going!

If you’re into it, check out thundercluck.com/book and any of the following:

IndieBound!

Amazon!

Barnes & Noble!

Goodreads!

Now, about tutorials!

While I enjoyed compiling the TUTOR TUESDAY PDFs, I know it’s been a hot minute since we had new tutorial content to share. Meg (@rawranansi), our tutorial mastermind, has been super busy with work! So I wanted to ask:

Would you be interested in animation tutorials for OpenToonz?

OpenToonz is an open source (which means ethically free!) 2D animation software, and I’ve been learning it myself since I started using it for the book trailer this past summer.

It’s a powerful program, though the interface definitely takes some getting used-to. I’d love to share what I’ve learned, especially since the program’s available for all!

If you’re interested, let me know. Comments and reblogs are much appreciated! Thanks, Paul

Preview images from the book The Art of Marvel’s The Avengers.

I am burdened with glorious purpose.

To say thank you to my followers and to celebrate The Avengers’ success, I have decided to do a giveaway.

This is my bargain.

ONE medium sized box (approx 11” x 8.5” x 5.5”) full of Avengers/Marvel toys and merchandise.

How desperate are you?

You can reblog this post a MAXIMUM of THREE times. Likes also count.

Following me does not increase your chances of winning, so please don’t feel compelled to do so unless you just really enjoy an insane amount of Tom Hiddleston all over your dash.

Yes, I will ship anywhere in the world.

Please make sure your ask box is open so I can contact you if you win. I would hate to have to choose someone else.

Stalling won’t change anything.

You have ONE WEEK from today. The giveaway ends Saturday, 26 May. 

In the end, it will be every man for himself…good luck.
