Con-goin'! + Row-Row, Fight the Power...of 3. + Financial Situation

Posted by Kirbopher - June 22nd, 2009


I RETURN. Just finished up AnimeNEXT and Wizard World Phili, both of which were not just conventions, they were privaledges!

Ironically, in the last post, people seemed to misinterpret my mentioning of "Convention Appearances" as if I was chalking myself up to be a guest or something of any importance...but funnily enough, I ended up sort of getting guest-like opportunities at BOTH of these cons! It was a huge honor on both accounts :]

At AnimeNEXT, when I wasn't rollin' with the SMA Crew, recording videos and plugging the hell out of them at every turn, I went to a few different panels. One of which, was an Abridged Panel where the fine folks at yugiohabridged.com had LittleKuriboh himself over Skype to answer questions from people. The people running the panel, out of NOWHERE, asked me to come up and be PART of the panel roster! I've gotten pretty aqquainted with LK since his cameo in the 1st Part of the Parody Rangers movie, so I made a point to be at his panel and show some support. When I was put up there, I was alongside a few other random Abridgers...and obviously since I don't do YouTube parodies the only things I had to say in that respect was that I did a few random voices for DBZA and SMA. But I started listing off a few of the flash projects I had done on NG and this crowd FULL of people had a gigantic response to each one! I was blown away. A bunch of others from the audience came up to me after the panel was over to ask questions, I took a picture or two, gave an autograph to someone, I could NOT believe it. LK and the others from the site thanked me for joining them, what a huge honor, seriously. Check out a few of the other photos I took here.

Then this past weekend at Wizard World, Mike Ruocco and I took a road trip from Long Island to Philidelphia for the Friday of that convention. After walking right past Lou Farigno 5 seconds after we get to the con (DERP.) we went on a search for the Newgrounds booth and in going the wrong way, ran into HappyHarry, who pointed us in the right direction. All of the big guns were there of course, with a SURPRISE TOMAR I WAS LIKE HOMAIGAAAAD. We all just chilled out at the booth for like 3-4 hours, conversing with our new and old allies, drawin' up a storm with our sketchbooks. Spoke with Tom about some upcoming stuff I'm veeeery excited about AND was approached by lots of people that had seen my stuff before! They were really nice :] Then afterward, when the con center closed down for the night, we headed out for a walk and went to a Bar/Restaurant with tons of awesome bobbleheads everywhere. Me, Mike, Josh, Harry, later joined by Ego, Stamper & Swain, just shot the shit for a few more hours talkin' about all sorts of animation banter. Headed back home afterward, wish we could've stayed for the whole weekend, but I accomplished what I needed to do and thankfully Mike had a good time so I didn't waste his time and gas comin' out there.

To everyone at both conventions that came up and had some nice things to say about Parody Rangers and NiN10Doh! etc, if you happen to come across this, thanks so much :] Also thanks everyone from NG for showin' us such a good time and hope to see y'all at SDCC.

Richie, Psy and I of TEAM KRONECKER DELTAAAAA are continuing to work on our Power of 3 Game. We've made some good progress lately: The script for all of the cutscenes have been written, the character designs are finalized now, we've just begun the voice casting for our lead character (good luck, girls!) and the levels are coming along. Psy continues to score...music, Richie continues to code and I'm happy to say I'm continuing to draw. This game really got me off my feet and back into an artistic flow. I've been working as hard as I can the past several weeks to write, draw and just CREATE overall.

Look forward to our game later on, we're really puttin' our all into it :]

Lastly, I figured it wouldn't hurt to put this out here as well.

Currently, things are pretty rough. I'm trying to work as much as possible so I continue going to school, but without getting too personal, conditions are making it difficult to continue forward. As I usually plug on these things, I take drawing commissions on DeviantArt. ANY cash you can throw my way would be greatly appreciated and I'm always more than willing to draw some pics for people (Kirbopher1111@gmail.com is my Paypal address). I'm sorry if this sounds desperate, but desperate times call for such, so hopefully you guys'll understand. Thanks and hope you guys'll stick with me!

dude i just missed you by one day!

you should have been there when i presented Ego with my statue dedicated to his work; he looked like he almost cried XD

i got a free commission, calender, and snow lucy Dvd because of that!

well i gtg, i got a lot of work ahead of me!

l8s

D'aww that's awesome :]

First of all, it's spelled "Row-Row". I didn't read the rest though because I knew none of it would interest me.

Fix'd.

Damn it your post are always to wordy for my lazy (*cough* stupid *cough cough*) mind.

i'm not gonna click any of those links.

*flips da finger, rides off on skateboard, does sick grind on cop car*

Man.

You are so fucking cool.

Dude.

you gonna submit those commissions to the art portal?

Not sure, I might if I think it turned out good enough to be put up.

i saw your deviant artwork and i was thinking.....what if my Newgrounds Avatar battled yours?

epic duel?
or epic w/e?

find out on my newest idea for a flash!!!!

Newgrounds Avatar Battlers!

yeh....like that will ever happened.....

(i can see rina hanging me with her Pink controller over a cliff....)

l8s

Good luck Kirb! I hope its as awesome as your past games!

Never done a game before, actually.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, you don't sound desperate, just... needy.

If by "needy" you mean I'd like to continue going to college, sure.

Well thats good and everything glad your back. But please dont make another brawl taunts. All it does is let people downlooad them somehow make sparta remixes out of whatever random shit. Completly disrespecting you. These nintendo fanboys realy need to learn how to respect peoples work

As far as I know, we're both like "I wouldn't wanna make another Brawl Taunts even if YOU wanted to"...so therefore, neither of us want to. No worries.

yep, we cant have Kirb busting one of his nuts and jumping out of a window again now can we....?

.....can we?

i don't know is it really fun?

I wish I could send you commisions on deviantart. Hell, I got at least 100$ worth of ideas that Im willing to pay for.

The saddest thing is I dont know how to work with paypal. Maybe Ill try to learn it in the future.

make parody rangers part 3 already

i've never been to any of these conventions. Is there an entereance fee or something? Oh and can i borrow a couple of bucks? i need to ask for a commision from this guy i know. Great artist, the name's 'kirbopher'. You might have heard of him before.

Hmm... Well sir, It seems that you've been doing some mad traveling.
I look forward to meeting you and your group at SDCC.

Is that you with the long hair and white sweater in the pic next to Marc?

If you are I finally know what you look like! It's hard to find pics of people sometimes.

Yeah, I only saw Marc and Momo from Kyle's chat.

I really have no reason to say this but... you should visit north Dakota!!! I know there's really nothing out here but it would be awesome to meet you!!!! But i know no really famus people never come here. :( But i just wish you could come to the Bismark area that would be awesome!!!! I hope you read this and maybe just maybe ECT... think about coming here (hag this comment was hopeless he probably won't even have time to read it. )

I probably wouldn't be able to go to North Dakota, but hey if you go to any cons with a bunch of the NG people there's always a chance I may join the fun.

A lot of people have been wondering how do you pronounce Kirbopher? i'be heard kirb over, kirb ofer, and kirb offer, so i just wanted to know how to pronounce it. lol i'v never known that PS. If your ever coming near north Dakota PM me

It's like saying Christopher, but with Kirb in place of Christ. I'M NOT JESUS.
