Entry #4
For the past 7 years I've had visions of a little red demon with a big crush on the angel next door. It started out as a doodle I drew one day in church and just grew from there. In school I would create additional characters to accompany my little devil; before long I had a random assortment of sketches for this concept. Eventually, I decided I would call this creation Lil' Paco, and finally, at the end of 2010, I decided to turn this idea into an independent animated series.
Being a freelance cartoonist who had worked for various publications over the years, I had some experience in the industry - but nothing could prepare me for the challenges that come with fleshing out a real cartoon. I had so many characters to introduce, but not a lot of time or money to fully take advantage of the ideas in my head. A lot of characters had to take the back seat to jokes, and vice versa - I think the end result is a success. A nice balance between story and humor. And I want to do more!
But that's not entirely up to me. It takes a village to raise a kid, and a project as ambitious as Lil' Paco can't rely on me alone forever. If you like Lil' Paco, share it with your friends! Vocalize your support! Message me ideas! Whether you're a casual fan, or a creative artist who wants to help direct, write, make music, or star in future episodes - I want to know. As of right now, this is an independent passion project; some day it will be something much bigger than that. Throw caution to the wind, and join the party!
I'm kicking off Lil' Paco's debut on Newgrounds with a collection of teasers. At the end of November, the first episode will be released. It's literally been years in the making, but I don't regret a second of it. I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating it :)

Much luck with your project. Hope the result is what you envisioned it would be.
Thanks. If not, creating 'toons is rewarding in itself.
