Weekly Log: 2015.18.04

...And once again, greetings, everyone.

Along with this post, I'll put a link to the latest comic as planned:

Anything else?

Well, there's another Madness short in the works that is going to be released this month, and I've been making quite a bit of progress. It's about one of the characters' past as an agent before he got fired for a failed mission.

Actually, I was thinking about completely moving these updates and the comic uploads to Saturdays, but then I'm afraid I'll be unnecessarily postponing things even further, so I still decided to stick closer to Fridays.

And that's pretty much it for now. Not much, I know, but it's almost 3 AM here, so I can't write much.
So, see ya next week...

Weekly Log: 2015.11.04

Once again, greetings, everyone.

It's been quite a while since I've actually done anything worthwhile, but I'm happy to announce that I've pretty much got myself back on track, and as promised, with this little update, I'll give the link to the first (post-pilot) episode of the "West Challenger versus the World" comic.

Here it is:

Also, I thought maybe it's best to just put the comic series on DeviantArt, since I find it most fitting there to put comics into.

As for the other projects:

I've decided to work on Dokuroshima after I make this month's madness short. As for the short itself, I've already got the ideas for it, and all things considered, it shouldn't take too long to make it this time.

Mad Monitor was on hold the whole time due to the lack of time and/or proper schedule. But it's not dead as I'm redownloading the materials needed. I still need to rewrite the pilot though...

...So I guess that's all for this week's update.

Weekly Log: 2015.04.04

Greetings everyone.

Apologies for the delay. It may sound like a crappy excuse to some, but I had a severe case of Real Life biting off quite a chunk of time and stuff. And on top of that, due to an incident, some files were lost (unrelated to most of the projects).

Because of current events, works on Dokuroshima are on hold (this project's files are safe and backed up), but hopefully, I'll get back to animating the next installment soon.

Monthly Animation: Still haven't decided what miniature I'd animate. Yet.

Mad Monitor, on the other hand, is the project that had the file loss. Fortunately, all it had are the reviewed material that I can restore, and the script that would take a while to rewrite, but IMO it needed work anyway...

West Challenger vs. the World: the first comic (the one that goes after the "pilot") already has the writing and panel arrangement done, as well as majority of backgrounds and characters. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it tonight.

So, I guess that's it for this log entry...

Weekly Log: 2015.03.27

Greetings once again, everyone.

Nothing significant about Dokuroshima yet, ever since the last update where I've included the link to a preview of a part of the upcoming episode.

Progress with Mad Monitor pretty much stood in place because of a bunch of reasons, main of which is that I rarely get to be alone in the flat, and I can't bring myself to record my own voice otherwise. Not to mention that I never did that with current equipment yet, so recording tests would be necessary.

Also, alongside the main projects, I've decided to make some additional regular stuff. You might already know about the monthly shorts (which I won't be able to do this month). But now, on top of that, there is going to be a weekly webcomic, hosted on Deviantart and, perhaps, Newgrounds.

The webcomic is called "West Challenger vs. the World" that is a prequel spin-off of Dokuroshima, featuring West Challenger as the protagonist.
Currently, the comic itself already has a "pilot" strip, and you can see in the link below:

In fact, I thought it would be a better idea to have this log and the comic come out on the same day at the same time.

Well, that's it for this week...

Weekly Log: 2015.03.20

Greetings, everyone.

It's been far too long IMO, but I've finally done the first preview of Dokuroshima Ep. 1 Pt. 3.
Of course, it's not "completed" in a few points still...

The episode itself will not be action-driven like Part 2, while its main purpose is closer to estabilishing the plot.

The preview itself is available here:

Dear Princess Lu-

Dammit...

...I mean, greetings everyone.

Unfortunately, Real Life kicking me in the nuts all the time (figuratively), along with a little OSRS (Old School Runescape) addiction don't contribute to the workflow very well as I am STILL struggling with the preview, which only has literally a few scenes and the audio left to do. Speaking of which, considering that I've mentioned the preview many times so far, I may as well make it available for everyone to see. Of course, I decided not to put "Test animations" and previews on Newgrounds (unless it's Dumping Grounds), which means the preview will be released on YouTube.

That is what happening to Dokuroshima project as of right now.

As for anything else, I also have an idea for a review show of my own. It's not LP series, nor will it be reaction videos, but actual reviews made by myself. Inspired by AVGN and Mysterious Mr. Enter. And, once again, it would be released on YouTube. I decided to call it "Mad Monitor". What will be reviewed? The so called "Fanimes", which are anime-esque amateur animations found throughout YouTube (as well as the rest of the Internet), and the focus will be on crappy ones like "Sakura Ai", which I'll review in the pilot episode. I just think it's old and "famous" enough to get my review, which means there would be some kind of "standards" on the show. (Considering that people have reviewed things like Sonichu, I don't really think I'd need to worry about quality standards...)

The writing part for the pilot is already done, as well as the logo. And now to figure out how to not fail the voice recording part, as well as everything else...

So, that's pretty much it for now...

P.S.

I've also done a new illustration/art :D

(...This awkward moment when Old School Runescape ended up being much more addicting than expected...)

Erm...

Anyways, greetings as always, everyone.

As of this week, at first it seems that not much have happened, expect for me making progress in projects that I work on. Insider preview is still in the works, so I am still the only one who literally saw the project so far.

However, there have been a few other things.

First of all, I've waddled around the oldest content of Newgrounds just for nostalgy and I've got an idea, so I wanted to make a collab. Sadly, I had little to no idea what "Batting Average" is in context of Newgrounds. I asked on the Help Forums, but the only answer I got said that it's an average score of ALL my projects (instead of the best 3 of my projects, in which case I would qualify), which meant that I didn't qualify to organize collabs.

And the collab itself would be about various users murdering Caillou in various ways and styles (yes, the whiny Charlie Brown ripoff).

Second, I've made yet another "musical" experiment, which you can see right here:

The experiment was about using voice fragments in Milkytracker as "Instruments".

So, that is it for now, I guess...
