Hello Julie ^^ So I'm a TD fan ever since TDI debuted here in Brazil and after that I made several TD related arts, which some of them receiving some good feedback (my most commented one was a TDAS picture featturing all of the contestants with their hands in a knock form pointing their arms towards the sun, which surprisingly a similar scene was used in TDAS - In episode 2 when the Heroes are talking about the strategy and they kinda join hands and etc...). Anyway here are some advices which I think you guys should take into account:

-Can't you update the characters designs? A lot of cartoon series do it and I think it'd be better for the show as a whole. I think making their head completely round (like Zoey's, Lindsay's, etc...), not making some characters with so short legs (Duncan, Owen) and not making dotted eyes at all (couldn't you guys give Chris normal eyes? Believe me, it'd make him show his emotions a lot more easily and make him a lot more real than he is).

-Also for new characters I don't appreciate so much reused body parts from previous characters. Think it's kinda... Lazy from your part (sorry to say it, but I have to be honest) For example Mike's too similar to Harold, Zoey has exactly the same leg shape as Courtney, Dakota has the face shape too equal to Heather, Owen and B share the same body structure, Dave remembers Noah too much, etc... And it also applies to personality as well (Cameron being a Harold+Cody, Alejandro's too Justin, Jo shares similarities with both Eva and Heather, Scott's like Duncan and Alejandro, etc...) If you do it, please make it seem less noticeable. It's been so ridiculously noticeable since TDRI that it's becoming old this reuse of old characters.

-Stop the overusing of the same characters over and over again. My suggestion'd be a new cast each season. If it's not possible, then a mixed cast with all the underdeveloped characters. People'd love to see competitoes like Tyler, Dawn, B, etc... developing.

-About Season 1 characters, I'd advise for you to completely drop them. Instead of the underdogs, of course. Really, stop the overusing of Duncan, Courtney, Gwen, etc... It's getting annoying.

-Some jokes're completely overused and not funny at all. Owen's the biggest example. I think his jokes're completely childish and he's never added nothing to the show. (He didn't developed at all during his time on TD nor was given a reason to be there, instead of competing for the cash).

-I think you kinda pass a bad image to children making Duncan win TDA or Alejandro win TDWT. I mean, Duncan cheated in some challenges, bullied Harold for no reason at all, played a role on Tyler, Bridgette and LeShawna's elimination. Really, if I were a child I'd get that cheating and being bad towards others for no reason'd be the best way to win. Not gonna mention Alejandro because it's the same. (At least he received his payback, Duncan didn't)

-Last thing and most important, when creating a new character, you should make a full list with his personality and show it during the episodes to not look like he's bland or has any bad traits. Zoey, Mike, etc... And never drop it, or it may happen like Scott, who changed for no reason at all in TDAS.

So changing the subject, being an Animator freshman but a foreigner, how hard it'd for me to go work there in Canada? Or even sell my ideas? I have a story almost doneand I'm to do it's first storyboard, but I really don't want to work here where I am (people don't really appreciate art here). Having Italian citizenship helps for me to get a worker visa or even green card over there?

Thanks for your time ^^
