Go check it out. Spent a good chunk of time making it look nice!

Heya

So I'm quickly finishing up a short animation that should be released within like 5 days or so. It's (in my opinion) beautifully animated and I'm very proud of this work. However, it's very short, like 25 seconds worth of animation. I've spent a lot of time posing and in-betweening to make it look awesome. Very excited to release it.

Jimbob 2 is just on a break while I finish up the above mentioned cartoon. It's currently in final animation phase, where I draw it all again in black, then inbetween, and lipsync. It'll be a fairly long process, but should be done in June.

Not much else to say. My late grandfathers lawyer just sent out our inheiritance checks, so I'll be getting a 22-inch HD Cintiq pretty soon here. But I'm gonna keep working on Jimbob 2 on the small 12-Inch Cintiq I already have, so I don't have to change the way I work.....buttttttt I may cave in and just hook it up when it's here.

Hey all.

Been making tons of progress on Jimbob 2. Really happy with how it's turning out! The Storyboard should be done by Friday, and Patreon Members MAY get another sneak peek at it!

The total time of the cartoon is going to be around 5 minutes or so. I'm expecting to have this done by June, possibly May. BUT DON'T HOLD ME TO THAT.

Hey everyone! I've been trying to space out these blog posts, because I tend to say a lot in these.

So recently I hit another slump in my work. I just didn't want to work on anything again, and this is becoming a habit now. I needed to find a way out of this. I hate abandoning projects, or even just putting them aside for a long time. So with that being said, here comes the thing everyone expected. FNATC is being put aside so I can develop another cartoon. Yeah, I figured for the sake of getting some content out there this year, I'm going to make a cartoon and release it, then maybe go back to FNATC, but I'm not promising anything. Who knows, FNATC may be completely abandoned. Honestly, I feel bad about doing it, and I feel like that's a lot of work to just leave behind. I had to come to my senses though. I don't want to branch out right now and make something like that. I need to just make something and release it. But it has to be good.

The thought has kept re-accuring to me, should I give up? Maybe. Why? It's pretty obvious, I don't work on anything and release nothing. 2015 was a year I promised the most content would come out, and I think only 1 thing came out. Then the worst things happened in the middle of that year, and now my stress is peaked. I do have a lovely GF at the moment whos been helping a lot, however. But working 3rd Shift, Court-Ordered Counseling, etc, it builds up, and not much time is left to animate and do anything else. I just get burnt out fast.

So hopefully, I can push through this slump, work on this cartoon, and maybe start feeling a bit more inspired to work again. Guys, it's been such a rough time for me. I hope you guys can come to forgive me. If anyone has tips on regaining inspriation, let me know!

Hey everyone..

So, wow. Nothing really happened content wise for me in 2015. Shit was so rough for me, that I just couldn't bare to pick up my stylus.

I did recently start working on one of my projects I didn't think I'd ever finish. But I'm working on it diligently and efficiently. It's the Five Nights at the Carnival game. Hopefully I finish it!

As for No-Brainer, No-Brainer 7 is slated for 2016, not set date just yet.

Thanks for sticking with me throuh 2015, which will go down as the worst year I've ever had. You're a group of loyal fans and I appreciate all of you!

Happy Holidays!

Hey all. I'm feeling much better now. Things are still a bit weird, but now its nothing I can't handle. I understand that I shouldn't worry, and things will work itself out. I'm sure of it!

I haven't really been working on any projects, but No-Brainer Episode 7 seems to be the thing I really want to start on. In case I didn't mention here, Episode 6 Part 2 will not be made. I pretty much backed myself into a corner of promising and promising. I just can't end the episode in a way I'm happy with it. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back and finish Part 2, but let's just move on to a new adventure.

Evercon (Local Gaming Convetion in Wausau, WI) is coming up, and I plan on doing the usual appearance. The only thing that's changed this year is no panel for me. Last years went really bad, and I'm not gonna do one unless the demand rises, which I know it won't so blech.

I've also been learning Maya. I really wanna 3D Model, so hopefully I go somewhere with that!

But yeah, everythings been great. New place, New girlfriend, New hope :)

Thigns have just not been going well lately. With all these court things, ex-gf issues, and now my beloved grandfather passed away to colon and lung cancer. Seriously, things haven't been this bad, ever. My break until September continues.

I just wanted to report that I'm moved out, but internet is shit so I'm pretty limited on what I can do. I may be starting to work on games soon with my friend, but have yet to pitch the idea to him. We planned on so many things together and they always fell through. We may as well try again at something simple and see if we can have something take off.

Other than that, I haven't really been drawing or making art and animation for a while. Since being moved out, dealing with courts and now the recent death, I've seriously had no motivaters at all to work. Even my full-time job has become complete shit.

I hope things get better soon. I'm hopefully starting college within September so that;s something to look forward to. *sigh*

Soon

You guessed right! It has nothing to do with weiners.

Some big things will be happening this year. I'll be jumping into new territory with new projects, and other things. One of which, I'm waiting for the right time to announce.

The other, I will announce, is a Five Nights at Freddy's-like game. I do have some work for it done already, so that's a thing. I'm currently waiting to obtain enough money to purchase the Standard Version of ClickTeam Fusion 2.5 to make the final game, as I'm sitting on a build right now. Not giving too many details as of now, but I'm making an IndieDB page for it. I'll give a link when it's approved.

Animations:

Don't really have anything lined up. Fright Night Academy would be a cool thing to make still, but I'm not really sure if the effort is worth it, seeing as though there is hardly, if at all, an audience. I might pick it up and make a short again. Same for No-Brainer. Though I'm seriously craving for some new characters in cartoons.

_________________________________________

Just, expect things to become a whole lot more involved.

I'm pleased to bring Fright Night Academy to life finally. This is an idea I had swimming around in my head for about half a year, and finally decided to go ahead and make it. Some things that stopped me from making it was a solid idea, and the idea of pitching it to Cartoon Hangover. I'm still going to pitch the idea, but I wanted the public's perspective on the cartoon, to see if some changes could be made.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/651702 <--- GO WATCH FRIGHT NIGHT ACADEMY!

It may be a far off representation if it's picked up for a series, but a good start none the less. I think the show itself is cool, and definitelly something I would like to work on this year. But with this being a series, it pretty much says to people, "This is what I'm wasting my time on." So I think I'm going to do a schedule like Episode, other cartoon, Episode, other cartoon, etc.

So what does this mean for No-Brainer??

No-Brainer is not dead, completely.

I'm simply easing No-Brainer off from a series, to shorts. No more 5-6 minute episodes. Basically it will be short 1-3 minute animations, which will be easy to pump out.

Wait, remember idiot, you had an RPG you were working on? DON'T YOU REMEMBER??

Yes, I do, relax. I think the RPG is just far off right now. I'm not totally sure how to do sprite sheets, get a custom battle system in the engine, and it was basically a complicated idea once again, so I had to shelf it. It will come back, I will not say this is another project down the gutter. I refuse to give up.

Well that pretty much covers everything. Oh, also I have plans to make appearances in Madison and Eau Claire, Wisconsin so if you are in the area and would like to meet me and get a sketch of anything, I'll be there. Eau Claire is April 24th-26th called No Brand Con. Madison is Geek.Kon in August on the 21st-23rd. See you there!
