New view on animating...

Posted by ikool Nov. 3, 2009 @ 2:36 AM EST

As I have noticed, my love for Newgrounds and animation has slowly been dying away due to my busy university schedule... I currently have 7 WIP animation projects in work due to sudden bursts of inspiration. With this in mind, I started thinking, "Unable to do commit work to a long series, should I only work on small, short projects or keep on track with only the main series?"

With my limited time frame of animation, I am unsure of which is the wiser choice...
Any suggestions?

Man... Finishing animations...

Posted by ikool Jul. 26, 2009 @ 2:06 AM EDT

Well... After all my brilliant ideas have reached my head... I decided to want to animate them all... Problem with that is, I will never finish any of them if I keep on making new animations!

Current animations:
Mario vs Bowser
Kirby Fight
Pokecenter Problems
Shyguyz

I decided to delete the Bunny animation seeing as I will never work on it...
What should I do? Delete some of them? Finish one at a time? Take a break from animation?

New Animation!

Posted by ikool Jun. 17, 2009 @ 11:52 AM EDT

After winning my $120 from the Techxpo at my school for 1st prize animation, I decided to make some hand-drawn animation!

Prize winning animation: http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/200609 /56456_Flash_Intro.php

After almost 2 weeks of work, I have released "Pokemon Problems" to teh community! It was a lot more fun from doing sprite animations, but it was a lot more difficult!

In other news, I am at the 3-minute mark in Shyguyz! I have a whole 2 pages of script left to animate, but I assure you, I will have it done by the end of summer!

New Animations on the Way!

Posted by ikool Feb. 17, 2009 @ 2:16 AM EST

I have 3 works in the making right now...

One is a simple fbf animation about a bunny and the strange little occurances that occur to him.

The second one is my main sprite fight, "Mario vs Bowser" animation. I have worked tons on this one and I have only gotten a good 1 min of work done, that is how hard I've been working on it.

I have just recently bought a cheap $40 desktop mike for my computer! Seeing as Araskin ended his "Bowser's Kingdom" series, I decided to start a new sprite series for Newgrounds called "Shyguys"! It's got a pretty good script and the animation is going really well so far!

Look forward to them, fellow Newgrounders.

Popularity?

Posted by ikool Dec. 7, 2008 @ 3:00 AM EST

After hitting my 1000th post, I was just wondering...

Does anyone from Newgrounds like/ hate me?
Does anyone here know who I am?

New Sprite Project!

Posted by ikool Sep. 18, 2008 @ 1:51 AM EDT

I finally decided to continue my work as a sprite animator after reading HadokenDude's post about haters on Newgrounds. I really don't care what people think of sprites, but I animate them because I enjoy making sprite animations.

As for the project, I stopped working on SMRPG P2 because it really wasn't that great a series. I pretty much made everything up off the top of my head =P.

I have started a large, very unoriginal "Mario vs Bowser" (Title in the works XD) flash. I will add new elements never seen before in a sprite fight that will be kept secret until it is somewhat done!

Ikool ^.^

Major Inspiration Problems...

Posted by ikool Aug. 28, 2008 @ 5:50 PM EDT

There are many things that piss me off, but losing my animations are probably to worst of them all...

To see all the work you have created burn down to ashes sucks.

And once again, my computer crashed with all my SMRPG2 P2 stuff...

I'm not sure if I should if I should continue with the series anymore seeing as it continually dies in my face...

If there are enough people that want the series to continue, then I'll do it.
If not, I'll start work on something else.

Sprite Movies...

Posted by ikool Jul. 28, 2008 @ 12:58 AM EDT

Considering that there has been a spam of sprite movies hitting the portal these them, I've realized that the competition is getting tough for sprite animators... So I've come to the public for some advice.

What do you look for in an action sprite movie?
Smooth animation?
Speedy attacks?
Special effects?
High-quality sprites?
Destructive backgrounds?

Help an animator out?
