Meeting with TDK1987 this week to write the rest of the Oddball chapters!
Not sure when I'll be animating them though, got a pretty big project in the works!

My new animation for University should be finished soon, I have 12 days left for the Uni version, but I'm thinking of keeping it for a bit extra to add more to the internet version.
For now here's a promo I made with help from Zictor.

Hey all, my next project has two new voices going on the auditions page, they're not open for long, as the project has a tight deadline, so take a looksie now!
Also, I'm livestreaming progress every Thursday and Saturday - 7pm GMT - 2am (rough) GMT

More roles coming very soon

Finally started casting for my next Uni project, you can find all the info for voice acting here (more roles to come!)

Auditions and info on my next University project begins on Tuesday, I'll be updating and featuring the voice acting hub on my main Deviant Art page, so keep an eye out! I'm thinking of running the auditions for the first three weeks of my three month production schedule, and I'll need the voices in preferably by week 5.
More info and a complete schedule plan will be posted at a later date.
Until then, here's an image for you to make some guesses from, have fun!

Sup folks, I started University again today and got our brief and such.
I'm just going to get straight to the point here, my next video for University is going to be ridiculously ambitious, to the point where Oddball and all my other work (aside from commissions) is going to have to go on hold. I just thought I'd give a heads up now before I vanish from the internet for a few months. Hopefully you'll all stick with me through this time while you wait for more stuff!
Barrels is due to release soon, this may be the last Oddball for some time.

Redoing even more of the animation on Barrels as it's outdated. Also Jill is doing a new set of recordings for Redi, so I'm redoing those shots too. Apologies for the delays, but at this stage I'm pretty much rebuilding the animation! I'm also thinking of working on Chapter 3.5 on the side, and releasing whichever comes first, may mean more delay, but it'll mean 3.5 comes sooner. 'pinions?

Oh also, the deconstruction blog entry for this little snippet will be up tomorrow!

Got drunk, met people!
For my first Newgrounds meetup, it was such a fun time. I was originally invited a while back by TDK1987 and decided to pop along on the second day, where we stayed in Namco. Arriving there early, I stood showing my NG shirt until I met the first person, Ockeroid. It's a weird moment when you meet people who's work you're familiar with, but he's a good guy and we got chatting pretty easily. After some waiting the rest of the crew turned up and we set off into Namco. I got pretty damn drunk, and bought a fair few drinks around too. (I'm still finding damn receipts now!) I also met more people, including friends who have voice acted for my work, Tom Kerin and Eddie Bowley. They were great people to meet and it's good to have finally talked on non-work basis.
That was pretty much the rest of the night, just socializing, getting a tad too drunk and having a good time! In the end I decided to head off and somehow navigated my way through London while drunk with no map even easier than sober with directions. Figure that one out!
So yeah, it was great to meet people and here's hoping I can make it to the next one, where I'll stick to the Pepsi!

Wellp, Barrels isn't likely to hit in January for a few reasons, and here they are:

1) Commissions - Animation has pretty much become a full time job for me lately with the number of projects I have going, on a plus side for me, I've been commissioned for a series of animations for Nick Basile Radio, the first episode should be finishing up soon, but I'm unsure about the release date. The plus side of this is that I can finally start getting some money for myself to live on, the downside is that I don't have as much time to work on my own stuff, as the episodes are planned to be monthly, and I still have University work to do too.

2) Soundtrack - The soundtrack for Barrels was originally the same royalty free music that everyone seems to be using these days, but Jimmy Sudekum (http://jsudekum.newgrounds.com/audio/), who created the fantastic soundtrack for Oddball 3 has offered to work on the soundtrack for Barrels too, in my eyes it's worth the delay to have him work on the soundtrack!

3) Outdated animation - This video has been in the sidelines for a while, and because of this, some of the animation is extremely outdated in comparison to the newer shots, I want to try and make everything at a similar level by release.

So that's it, apologies for the delay and I'll keep you updated!
