That's right, the Ned Kelly cartoon is coming along great! I'm at 40 seconds, well animated (different style that what I'm used to) and gonna have fun action that has as little violence as I can get. Watch 100 pure frames of fbf featured in Ned Kelly here. Creating that was so entertaining.

Also, The Broken Clan.
It is officially too shit. I'm going to remake it with brand-new graphics and the new deal. Story remains, though.

COLLAB COLLAB COLLAB!!!
Invd (Invalid) and I (I) are planning to begin a Random Adventure Collab which will have no story whatsoever, but if we can patch the story together along the way, great. I have the preloader ready, now I'm waiting for him to get his life back on track.

Enjoy your screeny.

Hello NewGrounds!

Now I promised 3 great updates, so here they are!

Violence Related Update Number 1:
I'm working on a Ned Kelly For Kids cartoon! Don't get excited though, it doesn't have violence...at least, not the kind where there's blood or death. This project will only last just over 1 minute. According to my storyboard, it will look awesome at the action scene, and I trust it will because everything else has so far. I am 2/5 done so far.

Violence Related Update Number 2!
Madness Day Collab. I've finished my second piece but the streaming is screwed up. Anyway, both have little violence, and THAT'S how you think outside the box.

Violence Related Update Number 3!
The Broken Clan 1. Every month I plan to complete 1 minute. That's 2 seconds every day. Now that my good hand is bandaged, animating has been difficult. But, I've been ahead for w hile. I'm 10 seconds ahead of myself now so that's pretty great. In honor of my damaged stitched up, bandaged hand, I give you a screeny. Which is rather vague.

Enjoy.

Also, how do you like the new buttons?

First thing.

Madness Combat . net's 2008 Madness Day Collaboration has great progress. Many of the participating animators (Fatshark, the creator and Slipz, the organizer have completed the animation and are just about ready to add the sound.

I'd also like to say that an excellent website for sounds is Sound Snap . com.

Now, I've attempted to create the menu for the collab and it looks great. All coding is complete and the dark theme is fitting perfectly. There, I said it.

Second thing.

The Broken Clan 1. That was my first post. Ever. I am using that sprite sheet but am using a different and more efficient style for the shading, so light accuracy is better than before. Anyway, my news is, I've completed the first part!

First out of 3. So it's gonna be a long episode. The first part has a car chase, but ofcourse, it doesn't look good. These are very difficult, because making 3D sprites of a car...I haven't reached that stage yet. So the perspective may be off.

BUT! The next part will have fight scenes, and I've tested these out long ago, and they turn out great! All I have to do is the transitions and bang! Right into the action.

Here's the last moment in the first part.

First thing's first; the 2008 Madness Day Collab is being hosted by both FatShark and Slipz. It's MCnet's official Collaboration (Website currently down).

My piece takes a different direction, as it's more based on DBZ. Well, it originally was. I submitted that piece to FatShark and he said if I remade it, better ofcourse, and softer SFX, he'd let me join. So here I am, telling you that my piece is 24 fully animated seconds with plenty of special effects.

Now, TBC1 ofcourse, is coming slower. We have a 3-week holiday so once I finish animating the collab piece, I'll get right to TBC. It's looking quite swell as well, I'm supposed to hit 120 seconds by the end of july, but I believe I could make a 3 minute mark by then! If...I work hard.

Finally, I'm deciding between a screenshot of TBC or the Madness Collab piece. Seeing how TBC isn't popular...yet (standards...I'm sorry), I'll release a screenshot of the piece. It's pretty intense as well.

See ya!

First, I'd like to apologise. I've been lazy recently and only added 5 seconds. It's just that I've been thinking of simpler ways to animate the next part (the crescendo), and through alot of thinking, I thought of a way I could do it.

By the way, this episode will have lot's of unique transitions, and if they get bad reviews, then I'll stick to the normal transitions.

Also, physics make sense.

Next, the screenshot given. It's an outside view of Dwayne's 'Shed'. The lighting also does make sense, as there is a source of light coming from behind the 'Shed'.

Enjoy.

If you hate reading, skip straight to the bottom.

Part 1

The Broken Clan 1 is underway, and I've almost finished it for this semester:
Animated: 75 Seconds

It feature's the comedy of Family Guy and in one particular scene, it features the gay cinematics of 80's love songs.

Part 2

I recently found my internet to be working again. Bloody BigPond has been broken for some while now, but it's gladly back.

I've recently been catching up with my favorites on the internet (Naruto and Madness. I just love deep stories for me to figure it out).

Part 3
I'll leave yous with a fairly early screen shot of TBC, only around 35 seconds after the first screen shot. And I apologize for the timing, I've been practicing linking the keyframes between lip syncing and this was one of them squished inside another. I'm sorry.

Also, keep in mind that WHATEVER happens in this episode makes sense. Most of the car issues are explained in episode 2 and... so forth. Just trust me. Also, the layout of the cartoon is quite confusing, but hopefully if you're not an idiot, you'll get the gist of it and it WON'T be as complicated as Catch me If you Can.

Also, the guy in the picture (Dwayne) is an inventor. He's inventing. Don't ask what he's inventing, that may be explained as well in the later episodes.

And he doesn't have black lips, damnit, it turns out alot smoother this way. And I apologize for the quality (paint to JPEG).

Damnit I should shutup.

And I'm slightly pissed that the E.F-T.P didn't get front page, or even a score above 4!

Damn! Anyway, 10 seconds into the project.

I plan to make 30 - 60 seconds a car chase, since the dialog and story could be finished in a minute.

By the way, the broken clan is going to be approximately 6 minutes, and will have plenty of story.

It's only 1 of 6 episodes (which explain the main story) and I may make an extra 3 or so to cover up all the characters story.

Here's a snippet of the car chase (main character and 2 cops).

Enjoy what you have and also, watch Extinction Friction.

Extinction Friction - The Penguins was just uploaded today.

View it and 5 it, please.

On a related topic:

The Broken Clan 1 will soon be in production. I began it recently, but the car chase turned out terribly. Atleast now I have a few tricks up my sleeve so you'll see an update for that soon.

Extinction Friction - The Penguins is at a powerful standstill as I'm going for a vacation on Wednesday for a week, and we are past half-way through shifting houses.

I haven't done much since last time (by my standards) but it'll surely be out in March, and I will force myself to those standards.

I'm having a little trouble coming up with ideas for the second half of the war scene (Oh. Yeah.) yet I've got a way to have it which has minimal violence. So expect more animation quality in the last several minutes because the first 2...yuck (once again, by my standards).

I WILL make one more post before it's fully complete yet so don't get your hopes up just to find out it's a month later.

The screenshot below is the heart of the war scene, where the lead general calls out attack in Penguin (language, yet it's muted for effects, lol), and using Flash, I made it seem 3D, and I'm glad it worked so beautifully.

'Till next time...

Seconds month (and 4 days) and I'm at...2 minutes and 6 seconds!

A nice chunk of credit to Frearson for giving me the killer whale idea, it suits well. The body count (at last count) is 89 and ever since the music instantly intensified (1 minute 45 seconds), I had to keep eating epic for breakfast, lunch and dinner so I could shit out diarrhea all over my PC, and actually fit.

If I add atleast 2 seconds each day for the next month, I'll be finished by the end of March, if I stress myself to atleast 5 seconds, except it by the end of January.

Here, have a cookie soaked in ice:
