2/18/25 - this appears to be getting renewed traction as of late, thanks! 10/4/25 - GUESS WHO GOT 3RD PLACE?! If laggy, watch on Turbowarp: https://turbowarp.org/1190456260 Length: About 4 1/2 minutes (Watch until you reach the "thanks for watching" screen! Also read this entire description to learn more about this animation and it's history.) PLOT: Khalil introduces Julia to his marvelous, breath-taking bust of himself! ...the usual shenanigans occur. [And then someone tries to sell a painting...will it go well?] TIME TO MAKE: 3 months (actually more like 3 weeks but the rest was spent mucking about during Summer) YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtRj0zFfc6Y I know it's a custom most of my TSAC animations are long, but this one was noticeably shorter (less than 5 minutes) simply so I didn't overestimate myself. I barely released JtCC, KBTH, & TUFS by the due date, and even then by doing so there were obvious shortcuts taken. I figured an animation a few minutes shorter would be appropriate, so it would have consistent quality overall. Ironically, my first ever TSAC entry was short, and now my last TSAC entry (at least with SCRACO as judge) is short. Just like how JtCC is a remake of an older animation I've made, this is a remake of "A Bust" (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/281488282/ ), which also happened to be my first animation contest entry EVER! It also kinda was my first real "K and J" animation, so...fitting, isn't it? I actually first thought of this in late 2024, and recorded some of Khalil's audio when I had a cold, which is why some lines sound weird. If you look inside you can find bloopers. Finally began working on it properly for TSAC 7. FUN FACTS: > This animation was originally called "Julia Gets Busted". > The scenes of Khalil explaining what a bust is and the entire bonus scene were not planned during conception. > The Cartoon Movement is a cool person on YT. So is KDAWG. Check them out! > Khalil stole Julia's dictionary. > The word "bust" is said six times in this animation. > This is the first real appearance of Sandy and Cammy, both voice-acting and design wise. > This is the first appearance of Falk in his new design. CREDITS: @97Scratch as Khalil as Julia as Falk as Sandy as Cammy for TSAC 7 (and cameo) SPECIAL GUESTS: "The Cartoon Movement" (YT) as himself "KDAWG_TheGreat" (YT) as himself And also, special thanks to 8-year-old me for being a weird Scratcher child.
