Scene 1 of ep 1(of 5) is halfway done. Animating this shot wasn't easy. First time I ever animated this type of shot. Really like how it turned out. Been a long time since I did a left4dead animation, nice to see how much better I've gotten as an animator.

The goal was to create a more dynamic animation for the girl in green on getting news she doesn't like. I wanted to go from irritation to anger and tried a few variations.

Ok, I"m being proper here and am planning out my toons for next year like a professional would. Means no more half assing my scripts and toons. Time to put out some quality content that I wont be embarrassed by 5-10 years later.

I'm gonna try something different this year and have a whole, well "season" of a series as well as my usual misc shorts. So 2022 will have...

2 Joy To the World toons(each under 2 min.)

5 episodes of Left4lol(Yeah, I'm gonna make silly shorts with left 4dead characters once again)

1 animated pilot, not Dollars of the damned but something personal.

1 episode of Hap-hazard(as well as combing all 4 eps into 1 big toon)

Dollars of the damned is its own special project that I'm trying to put as much into as possible so it will take more time and doesn't have a real date to it. I got 3 of the 9 projects scripts done now. Nice to make a little progress O.o; Gonna be a busy year.

Well, my original animated series pilot is building up some momentum on the screenwriting contest circuit. I got to be a nominee a month or so ago, to being a quarter finalist(the results on this contest will happen in a day or so), and was notified a week back that I'm a finalist in another contest (april 2022 is when it happens).

This whole pilot should be about 10-11 minutes long and I"m going to handle it all myself. The project is going to be in black and white and made to match the era it takes place in, which is 1933. All I'm saying for now.

Well I hired a programmer and am getting this sucker going. I'm a fan of classic survival horror and haven't really enjoyed whats happened to the genre after 2004. Too much emphasis on action, less on atmosphere and the one thing thats driven me up the wall is how the stories for the Resident Evil franchise has managed to actively get worse and bland as time goes on.

So I'm putting my money where my mouth is and am making my own survival horror game for Newgrounds. Takes place in 1925, is a Lovecraftian tale, and the protagonist awakens in an underground prison in a gothic estate. I'm doing all the graphics myself, as well as the story and general game design. AliceMako is providing some music and the game is being programmed in Gamemaker studio 2.0

The official thread for this project is here with more details and some gameplay alpha footage.

Happy Halloween.

Trying to get part 2 done for Halloween. Got sick last week and that messed up my schedule though, fucking flu.

Well, due to circumstances out of my control here is my first movie of the year, now that we're 7 months into it -_-

Had this toon at 90% completion for the past 3 months or so and finally got it done. Nice to have something posted this year but it took me way too long to finish this. Enjoy it all the same.

Why did everything take so long to finish? Heres part of why.

God...Spent the last 20+ years of my life reading Berserk, hoping to see him finish his work. Fuck.

I'm gonna do it this year. I'm gonna animate chapter 1 of Berserk. Just for newgrounds cause goddammit losing something you love hurts but if you can make something out of it and share it somewhere, share it where it can be appreciated.

Will still make the toon later though. Got a funny script I really like, but my move to a new state has been semi clusterfucked. Haven't even drawn or animated anything in a month now due to helping grandfather move, parents move, little sister and her family move as well as moving myself.

Its like "Oregon Trail" only leaving Oregon and moving to Montana.
