The first post of 2016

Greetings, everyone.

I know I had been silent for a few weeks ever since the last blog post, but there wasn't much to write about, and what there was, I wanted to save it for later. And it seems the later time has come.

First of all, I have moved away to a new country. I had been struggling with quite a few unpleasant things for years back at the old place. Crappy life perspectives fueled by a certain middle-aged lazy-ass person's unrealized ambitions that were forced onto me, plus a bunch of enemies that appeared around me for no good reason. So it's no wonder that as soon as I got the chance to move away to Germany, I packed all the essentials (including the ones for animation work and stuff) and flew through hundreds of miles without hesitation. Not to mention the old equipment back at the old place got destroyed in yet another drunk accident soon afterwards, so there's not much for me to go back to anyway.

Next, I've got invited by Phoenix Studios (a bit confusing of a name, so the links to the actual people will be provided). They have seen my animation, and, long story short, now I, with at least several other animators, several voice actors and a director, am working on the new and ambitious project, "Harmony Revolt". The closest I was to large cooperated animation previously were collabs that I have partaken in, as well as working with Maltos, the voice actor of Dokuroshima. So, compared to my past experience, this gig seems rather epic.

So if you're curious about the gig I've joined, you can visit these links:
Phoenix Studios:

And last but not least, I got my own projects going on.

Dokuroshima Episode 2, as of now, is still in writing stage. The general idea is ready, and I'm working on the details, such as the script. No deadlines are considered yet, obviously.

West Challenger vs. the World, the spin-off webcomic about an antagonist, West Challenger, is under a thick layer of dust somewhere in DeviantArt. Ideas are being processed in my head, but as of now, I am far too preoccupied with everything else, so it is unlikely that there will be another comic strip anytime soon.

Mad Monitor, a YouTube-exclusive fanime review show that was put into development hell, had to have the pilot episode totally rewritten. All outside material is gathered, so what is still needed to do is to hook up the editing software to the new hardware and come up with a few ideas to make it look outstanding compared to other wannabe reviewers that just rip off AVGN/Nostalgia Critic. Just another feeble attempt to get some of that Internet fame, nothing more, nothing less.

And then there's another little parody flash that is being worked on alongside Harmony Revolt. It may come out this month, however I am not really willing to disclose most of the info about it until the release. The only thing I'll mention that it happens in the game of Runescape.

Greetings, everyone.

It just so happens that quite a few things went straight onto me lately with so much happening during the time, such as a rather significant geographic relocation. Luckily, against all odds, i've managed to finally finish my latest project - Dokuroshima Episode 1 Part 3.
You can check it out through the links below:

As for myself, I am in a totally different place (not afterlife lmao), currently cut away from the hardware, but fortunately, not from files and software. Still, i am currently incapable of making flash stuff, but hopefully the problem will be solved soon enough. Besides, I can still write :/

So there you have it. I will see what happens next.
As for the blog, see you all in about a week or so.

A major update on Dokuroshima

As probably expected, the work goes on.

The visuals and the voice arrangement in Dokuroshima is finally done, and the music is picked (not original nor from Audio Portal, but supposedly it's free to use). All there is left to do is to arrange the music and the sound effects. After that, I might as well consider it done. It should be done in a few days, and for a reason: I'm having a trip next Monday which might possibly cut off my access to Flash and the projects, so I'm doing whatever I can...

Greetings, everyone.

Can't write much, so I'll be as quick as possible here. Got some real life stuff going on that keep me too busy. The stuff had been taking away lots of time and strength, drastically slowing down any and all development whatsoever. Dokuroshima is still unfinished, and I'm doing everything I can to at least get the visuals done today. I may have it up soon, but I'm not making promises. Just letting you guys know that the works are still being done because Real Life suddenly decided to be an asswipe to me again. Slowly, but the development goes on nontheless...

Greetings, everyone.

New month came, and with it, new projects will come.

As you may know, Dokuroshima is almost done. I am literally a few scenes away from completing the animation. Then, the sound effects and music will be arranged, which won't take so long. Episode 1 Part 3 will come out this week.

As for the actually new stuff, I've been thinking about another project that was frozen: Mad Monitor. This is the show where I would be reviewing various, mainly infamous animation projects. The first, pilot video will come out right after Dokuroshima. The raw material is acquired, and all writing is done.

Other than that, I have other small animation ideas which are yet unrefined, but that's another story.

So, that's it for this update.

See you in a week or so...

A quick announcement

Greetings, everyone.

Sorry for not following the weekly schedule, again. It's just a lack of things to write about. Long story short, Dokuroshima is still worked on: several scenes left to animate, plus sound effects, plus music, which is taken from the Audio Portal. Most likely it will take a few days at least since there was more work to be done than I thought. I'm trying to finish it within the month, but chances are that the project will be delay until the first days of December. Not apocalyptic, but still awkward :/

And a more proper description of circumstances as of now will be provided in the next update tomorrow-ish...

Greetings, everyone.

Yet another week passed, and not much more things happened.

As you can probably see from the previous rant post, I've unknowingly used a copyrighted track in one of my animations according to YouTube ; it will be fixed soon.

As for YouTube itself, I've decided to transform the video dump I had into a channel actually meant to show things to people. Playlists of my videos are arranged, and the header changed into something I think looks cooler. Eleven subscribers are reached already. My imaginary rainbow Fedora tips to all of them, and I hope the whole YouTube gig will actually get me somewhere awesome.

As for the projects, more progress is made as always. And just as planned, I still aim to release the next Dokuroshima installment this month.

P.S. If you're interested, you can see the said YouTube channel through this link:
