Well, I've found my flair for animating again, and have once again resumed serrious work on my music video animation. It was on hiatus for a while thanks to some addictive and neverending games, but I'm happy to report that work has resumed and that it is completed up until about to the second half of the second verse. The next part of animation will be very exciting for me, as it makes use of some experimental techniques (well, experimental for me...), and I can't wait to see what they end up looking like.

Now, I am well aware of the fact that almost everyone who is reading this has no idea who I am, what song I'm working on, why they should care, or even what I'm talking about. But I can't answer those right now as I have to go work on a crash sequence in the animation. I wish I could give clueless readers a better clue as to what song I'm animating; but unfortunately, I feel that my animation's acceptance by the Newground's audience will be largely rooted in the fact that the song I've chosen is random, awesome, and not very well known. I can't risk people going out and cranking out tons of animations of this song before I've had a chance to unveil my first big project.

So, thanks for reading, check out my deviantart at http://ninjkabat.deviantart.com , keep it ninja, and don't ever buy a set of playing cards from a rakukage demon.

P.S. Here's a screenshot of an early on sequence. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to tell the song from the picture, but hopefully it'll give you a taste of what's to come and get you excited.

Well, with both the redesign settling in, and my own artistic schedule doing a little settling of its own, I feel like I can stop being so hectic and start working on stuff I wanna.

For those who don't know, (and I'm assuming that's the vast majority of you) I have been gridlocked in a comic-ing project since the beginning of the summer. It's one of those things like Void City, where everyone makes a character, and then a tournament is set up with comic drawing and voting and the like. I've made it up the first two tiers pretty easily, and earlier this evening, I turned in the comic for tier three, all of which can be seen at this link. I've been scrambling these last couple days to finish the comic for tier three (well, that and play with the redesign), and now that it's over, there's not much left to do but wait around for the voting. And you know what that means? I have time to draw what I want to! Yay!

So, I thought I would enlighten everyone on what I'll be working on, and where you can see it, and the like. Firstly, I have to do some work on the Ordinary Powers project. You can also see that at my deviantArt page, but it's an ongoing serries of images for a friend. I just gotta get some done really quick so that he dosn't get antsy. I'll also be working on Reptile Guard; but since it's not very hard, I shouldn't be spending too much time on it.

But most importantly for Newgrounds members: I'm going to continue working on the Aquabats' music video that's been on hiatus for about 5 months now. I'd say I'm about 1/3 done with the song, but there's a section that I will reuse for the chorus, so I'm probably a little closer to half done. My best guess is sometime before the end of the summer. If I get really bored, I might cut some things into nice little swf's to put into the Alphas, but take my word for it: this is the best animation I've ever done, and I'm getting better as I animate it.

So that's all. I mostly wanted to make a front page post so I could see how my icon looks (I think it looks grainy on my computer), so I'ma check that out.
