Slight update, nothin' ridiculous this time around.

"There Was This One Time"is officially finished, however since I have about two more weeks until it's due, I've decided to try shading it using some of the time I have leftover by now. TWTOT without looks like my most polished, most "complete" piece of animation that I've ever done since I first started doing this type of work. The flash file seems to've suddenly picked up a weird glitch all of a sudden but hopefully I'll be able to fix that up at school or something. Expect the release of my first original toon at the start of May.

****************************
[UPDATE: I'm typing this from school, in need of some technical assistance if possible. The other night while in the middle of shading TWTOT, the file started getting wonky and my regular selector tool started glitching out. I tried opening up the file again after restarting flash, but now when I open the file it doesn't show -anything- and the second you even try to do something in Flash while the file is open, the program quits. I tried taking the file here at school and attempted opening it on a Mac, but got the same result. I've -never- seen a case like this before and I have not the slightest idea of what to do. Have any of you guys experienced something like this before and have any advice on how to fix this?]

Also in early May, the third and final "Brawl Taunts" will be out. It's hard to believe that it's been a full year since the first one came out, but this collab will be out on the 1 year to-the-date release day of the original one, May 7th. Only one person left to go, everything else is compiled and it should be good to go. By this point I know mainly the reason people are waiting for it is because they want to see the rebuttle that will be released with it, but that's cool too so no worries.

Lastly, I've started working on "It's the Supah Crazy-Ass Renaldo Rangers!" spinoff of Parody Rangers, which may or may not be out in May as well. May. May-may? Merumerumay. Yeah, started doing the animation, of which is gonna be much more limited...I'm cheating a LOT with the lipsynch for instance, which typically I hate doing, but since Renaldo's mouth flaps are trickier than the other characters, if I don't take some shortcuts this time around the damn thing'll never come out. Not the end of the world but it'll probably still bug me. Above all else Psy wants people to be entertained by it and I think everyone will, since it has a lot of what people liked about the original 3 Parody Rangers movies.

So I mentioned some stuff about doing voices a few posts ago I think...and yeah, most of those projects are on hold or I'm simply playing the waiting game for. In the meantime, I've gotten to do some work for a few pretty neat projects I'm more than happy to plug.

First of the two is Rina-chan's original story that was just fully edited and completed in the form of a Radioplay:

Dragon Star ~ A Story of Competetive Gaming

It's a +20 Minute romantic venture of Kazumi, a girl who gets smitten and chases after the best player of the popular "Dragon Star" fighting game. After a few tips from those surrounding her new obsession, Hiroshi, our heroine dedicates herself to learning everything she can about being an incredibly Dragon Star player...as well as learning everything she can about Hiroshi.

Just listened to it last night and it's very endearing, so if you guys have some silence that needs filling while going to work or school or maybe want something to listen to while animating, be sure to give it a listen. Kira worked really hard on it and I was glad to play the role of Hiroshi.

Second project was also a big honor, not only because I got to play one of Cailen Crow's characters that he's wanted me to voice for several years now, but the character in question (Eric Pockets) was beautifully animated by DeviantArt's Unknown-Person.

LAW OF TALOS: Annie & The Professor vs. Karl
PART 1
PART 2

UP's one of the great animators that do work for various storytelling art tournaments on DeviantArt, similar to Zuerel who I'm glad has gotten front page with some of his work before here on Newgrounds as well. They're only a few of the talented folks that work on these tournaments constantly coming up with awesome material every year. My role in the two-part battle of original characters is a small one, but I was honored to finally play Eric and UP's animation is simply awesome to look out. Hope you'll check it out!
