You did something all by yourself and you feel depressed??????

Echi, if you want "attention", these forums are not a good place to look for it. Try Mummy's arms.

Well, then use your head.
Your lead post gives NO indications as to what you are trying to attempt here. How can anyone help you with something so vague?

If you want better results, ask better questions. The more specific your questions the better/more useful the answer will be.
Asking a global question like "can any of us help?" gives us NO CLUE as to what kind of help you need. Help with what? Drawing? Storytelling? a step in production? How to achieve a certain effect???
What???

No-one can help you unless you first help yourself.

maybe just a tad at a loss

coming from my point of view, you're just entering the most
exciting part of it-- storyboarding.

here's where you place the characters in their own world,
the place where the story will eventually unfold.
choosing camera angles will be fun.

if you have a smidgin of architectural background,
so much the better. if not, 3D programs can help you.
they are easier to learn for this thing than organic models.

if not, you can grab a digital camera and start location shooting.
go places and start grabbing shots.
you can then trace over them in photoshop to give a flatter,
more exaggerated look if you want.

best to have written the script before doing this, though.

i think you're just a bit unsure which step to take next.
the fact that you did it all should give you a feeling of accomplishment.
(that's what artists crave for anyways)
tha fact that there still needs a mountain of work to be done is true,
especially if you conceive it to be non-limited in style.
but don't let it trouble you. that work belongs to a studio,
after somebody else picks it up or finances it.

the further you go down the road, the harder it gets,
but the greater the sense of fulfillment.

just concentrate on the board. if that is all you end up with,
you will have done a most commendable feat.
and you have a pitchable project in your hands.

now go.

Don't worry.  All shall be well.

Whats Next?

well it seems despite of what i've explained

you're still at a loss, i'm afraid i won't be of any help to you.

to try one last time:

if you've done the stories-- as in outline form-- you need to
transfer it into a script, especially if there are dialogues to
be worked out. the script will also tell us the language style,
locales, day or night, interior or exterior settings of each scene.

if you've drawn the main character-- and there are other
characters-- draw them now. the more angles you draw for
each of them the easier for you when storyboarding.

if you've done both-- and the world where your characters live
is particularly unique-- you need to draw background sketches
for them, especially the establishing shots. just to tell the viewer
where and what and how your world is.

if the setting is not unique (as in some place in Manchester), see my previous post. and as long as you're there, draw the props they'll be using-- like guns, swords, medallions, phones.

if you've done script, characters, and key backgrounds,
you can proceed to drawing the storyboard. you already know this,
the comic strip that shows the character, the background and the dialogue in a particular camera angle.

if you've done the storyboards, you can show them to people who have
money and the same vision as you to finance your project.

if you still want to go on, contact voice talents to record the dialogue.
you can break down the dub through a computer program so you can
lipsync when you animate.

i'm really sorry i can't help you any further.

Don't worry.  All shall be well.

Hey Thanks for your post

hey what the last post said really help. thats all i need to here and now i can really get busy on the project. would anyone like to see a script of the first episode (A Blessing In Disquise) when i have finished it. i'll post it soon.
