Been working on Reboot 2 for roughly two months, overall, but it's getting cranked out pretty quickly. Got some mean character designs and a bunch of pretty complicated backgrounds. This is without a doubt a step up from the previous installment. The action's a little bit slower towards the middle, but the atmosphere of mystery present in Rebooting the Madness is definitely more intense this time around. Plenty of little easter eggs and subplots to explore, so be sure to watch this episode more than just once.

Also, been obsessed with The Dark Knight Rises as of late. Naturally, my character design for the screen below was slightly inspired by a certain someone's mask.

Follow dis shit yo. ^^^

If you do, you'll get a screeny by week's end.

For most of you, this means that you can now except me to put all my focus on Reboot 2.

For those of you in my collaboration, it means you should be coming to a close with your pieces so that I can drop them in. I'll be watching.

I'm winding down with the intro now. Just gotta color some stuff in and I'm done. I'd say it's looking pretty snazzy. This tablet of mine has been a godsend, as it's made animation faster and more efficient.

Take time to speculate and ask questions. If you're a collaborator and you're reading this, you should be at least halfway done by now. If not, get crackin'. We have less than two months, now!

Figured you guys are due for an animated preview of something. Here's where I am with Paradigmadness. Just gotta color shit and I'm done with the intro!

WATCH DIS SHIT YO

EDIT: Paradigmadness is also featuring a track by my boi Piggemz, who scored the entire second episode of Stainville. Give his stuff a quick look-over and make sure to vote 5 for the track when it comes out in September!

Animated the main fight scene and a couple minor touch-ups. Aside from that, this was all done by Dan from StormGardens. Be sure to check it out!

Started the collab intro almost two weeks ago. Been doing some storyboarding (for timing the musical score) and some basic animation. In my opinion, it doesn't look half bad so far. I hope you'll feel the same.

So while I was away at college, I, by some dumb luck, met another Flash animator who's got some pretty zany ideas going on. We got together and discussed collaborating with one another to do some pretty cool stuff. Our first project, we decided, would be to freshen up one of his older animations, a fledgling series called "Rockstar Jones." The first episode of which can be viewed here.

Needless to say, the episode is quite lacking. However, don't write it off just yet. Some Newgrounds series that started off mediocre at best managed to achieve high levels of quality as they progressed.

So, I took a look at the second episode's script, spiced up the character design, and went straight to work with animating. Dan (a.k.a. Stormgardens), the animator that I met, will be handling the dialogue portions of the animation while I'm putting together a short fight scene and doing some fine-tuning of whatever parts he's done. This animation is done completely by tweens. I've designed each character so that they can be "rigged" and animated by moveable joints (which, although it can be quite hairy, is not as entirely terrible as I originally imagined it to be).

We're also enlisting the help of various musicians and voice actors (some of whom you may know and others whom you may not) in order to make this the best-quality toon we can produce. We don't expect it to be perfect, but we hope it will be a pretty big hit. So keep up-to-date with our progress as we draw nearer to releasing Episode 2 of Rockstar Jones.

Oh, and Dan has a website, too. Check it out!

Expect to see a lot from me. Or don't. Might have over-committed myself this time. Still trudging away with my Madness toon. Here, have a preview. Look familiar?

SHABAM! New toon!

Just a little something I did for a college class.
