The Cartoon Animator 2D Marketplace is a rich source of potential for artists looking to profit from their 2D art work, as they are able to sell their content to a large audience of animators and have total control over their work.
Clay Triche is a new content developer for Cartoon Animator, and he made quite the impact when he joined the 2D community, not only as a developer but also as a leading animator.
Producing incredible characters for Cartoon Animator at record pace, Clay already has quite the catalogue of work which spans multiple themes and genres from crazy zombies, to famous faces. We sat down with Clay to discuss his speedy rise through the ranks of Cartoon Animators top developers and see what insights he could offer other artists.
“The reason I chose to use Cartoon Animator is because of how easy and fast it is to produce animation. For all of the other animation platforms that I used over the years, none of them has the flexibility and easy workflow like Cartoon Animator.”

Q: Hi Clay, welcome! Could you begin by telling us about your work using Cartoon Animator?
Hello there! I’m the kind of cartoonist that was raised in the 70’s and 80’s era and I grew up with Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, along with all of those great cartoons, so the kind of work I’m doing is to bring back the feel of that era with my own creations.
Right now what I am working on with Cartoon Animator 5 are several projects, and one of them is my Mega Zombie Pack that I started on this past Halloween, but it’s been delayed for the Holidays and now that the Holidays are over I started working on it again, The idea of the pack was actually inspired by The Motion Comic Mini Event that was held back in September in the Cartoon Animator User Group page, so the entire Pack is actually designed for Motion Comics, but can be used in animations as well.
And one of the other projects that I’m working on is my Stone Age 10,000 B.C series for my Channel and as I create characters, props and scene, I add them to the marketplace to share with others so they to can create a Stone Age cartoon.
Q: Initially what drew you to working with Cartoon Animator as your 2D animation software of choice?
The reason I chose to use Cartoon Animator is because of how easy and fast it is to produce animation. With all of the features that’s packed into Cartoon Animator is actually everything you need to bring your ideas to life. For all of the other animation platforms that I used over the years, none of them has the flexibility and easy workflow like Cartoon Animator, so with that said Cartoon Animator will always be my platform of choice!

The advantage I find Cartoon Animator gives me is that I can create animation and have them uploaded to my channel in one day, because I’m a fast creator. Plus I can earn money buy selling the content I make using Cartoon Animator by uploading them to the 2D Marketplace straight from the software, which helps me get recognized by other creators and build up my followers.
Q: Do you have a specific genre or theme that is your favourite to work with?
Hmmm… hard to tell what my favorite genre or theme is, but if I had to choose then I would say Military. I always loved to watch war movies, and TV shows like Hogan’s Heroes, and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C, two of my all time favorites. So I always liked to do comic strips of my own Military like I do with my series the Dog’s. I can think up of a bunch of funny stories of any military scenarios!
Q: You have created a number of characters in a very short time. How do you find the creation process for Cartoon Animator?
Cartoon Animator I find to be by far the most easiest and fastest animation platform on the market. I say this because with Cartoon animator I can actually enjoy making contents and animation without the frustrating features compared to other software choices which I have used but struggled with.
Now using Cartoon Animator I love what I do with a passion, and that’s animation, and I would recommend to anyone who wants to create their own cartoons without taking weeks, months, or even years to learn, to use Cartoon Animator!
Q: You say that Cartoon Animator makes 2D animation easy and fun. What tools, or features in particular do you like most?
My favorite feature in Cartoon Animator I would say is Spring Bones and Motion Pilot, because with spring bones you can now add more life and realism to your characters, I never had that in the other software before.
Seeing that I can make the hair on my characters bounce around, I even add them to my characters clothes, like a skirt, or an unbutton shirt to make them wave as the characters move. I find that to be really cool!
And Motion Pilot is another awesome feature I really love, because now I can just use the mouse to control the movement of my characters and props and it records it to the timeline, it really makes animating even a whole lot easier, and I love how you can add Flocks as well using this feature, these are wonderful addition of tools to Cartoon Animator and it makes me want to use Cartoon Animator even more!
Q: As a relatively new developer to the 2D Marketplace, and having already made a name for yourself as a leading developer, what advice do you have for for inspiring Cartoon Animator developers?
My advice to anyone who wants to create and sell contents, is create something unique, find out what users are looking for, and always add a good description to your content page.
Make sure to mention what you use to make it, what features it does and doesn’t have. This will help users decide whether or not they can use your content.

Q: So what are your future plans with Cartoon Animator? Do you have any current projects in the works?
Recently I have been working on my Mega Zombie Pack for the Marketplace. I have also been working on my Stone Age series and Character packs for the Marketplace.
Some of my most recent releases include Pete the Dragon, a few Stone Age characters and a little Alien called Zee, which made me think outside of the box in order to make him unique. I have a bunch of projects planned, but I don’t want to give them all away because I like to surprise people with my creations. I like to see the wows, lol!
Let’s just say this….. I have plans to help the Marketplace grow!
