"Your focus determines your reality"


Yesterday was my last day at my customer service job. I didn't enjoy most of the time and already forgotten 90% of my days there besides my encounters with dickheads and drunks. Everyday, I was always thinking about doing what I wanted to do when I was a kid...


...Now after years of hardwork. Im working for a studio now. I can't say much as you'll understand, but this is the first "real" studio gig I got. I've mostly done freelance, festival and competition work (nothing wrong with it), but I've always wanted to be in a studio and work on something for television. Thanks to the pandemic, I'll be likey be working from home. But no biggie.


I wish a big thanks to the Newgrounds and it's community. You've played a part in me getting this far. It took many years to get it. I still believe Newgrounds holds better than YouTube for animators climbing the ladder.


Thank you. I can say so much, But for now...I'm going to take a short break and get ready for this.

So the collab has been delayed by a month due to technical issues and the convid19 causing problems for a ton of artists. So I've pushed the deadline back by a month to help those who have been affected.


We are now planning to create a short trailer when a enough shots have been completed. It's going to be super cool.


We are still have shots available. Come participate and show off your creative, horror, gorey or humour side!

https://badtwinz.newgrounds.com/news/post/1084336


(We ask that people please follow the instructions. Send your previous works to the collab email, links and let us know which shot you'd like. We've had people work on shots that they weren't given or were already claimed. This has now happened a few times. I understand some want to join, but it sets off red flags and can cause a lot of confusion.)


At the moment, it's coming along!


Thank you and all the best

I think everything is, but I want to absolutely sure to prevent any problems for everyone involved...So if you or you know someone that might help. Please let me know <3

Wow.


Happy New Year and hope 2020 proves to be a great year for you all.


2019 was rough year for me. It started strong, but without giving too much away, family health problems has sent me in a deep depression. I stopped using twitter, facebook or any social media because it was making me feel worse and doing more harm. I just stopped using it and focused on myself and family. It forced me to cancel a holiday because I couldn't leave the house.


I took a long break and feeling a little better. I will be working on small animations here and there.


I got accepted in the Toon Boom Community MVP Program Late 2019 and have been helping people with questions about toon boom and promoting constructive discussion. I guess this could count as one of my 2019 new years resolution completed.


Animation. I've been getting better and slowly trying to do little pieces here and there. Here's a work in progress of a little Apex: Legends Animation for my reel. I might use this for this year Robot Day. Who knows.

(WORKING Animated GIF Here)


I don't have much planned for 2020. I'll be looking at other area's while trying to slowly build myself back up. I cannot say that im 100% fine. I know this year won't be an easy one for me. But all I can do is try my hardest, but I might need some help.


Thank you for 200 Fans and I wish you all the best.

Howdy,


Well, I achieved one of my goals of 2019 already. One is to work on another studio series/project. Second is travel to two different countries. And the third...by winning in another animation contest. Every year I try win in something. Last year it was 2nd in the Newgrounds Summer Jam. Now this is for my Challengers & Victory Animation;


iu_15115_6930962.png


You can watch it here on NG: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/725512


It ain't lifechanging, but little acomplishment like these are really good for my health and mind. Knowing that I'm good enough for something...is something. I don't know. But im chuffed at this and happy.


So thanks for the love and support.


REanimated Project.


I might plan on doing a REanimated project with other animators on a small projecte. I got really jacked up and inspired seeing all theses reanimated and collabs popping up. I want to host one. Soon once I have everything sorted. I'll get thing arranged and send out a note for anyone to join. Animation and live action.


Soon, i'll send out a message and it'll be first come, first served on scenes


Thank you!

Hello Again!


New Animation :O

I made a new cartoon for 2019 and you can view it here; https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/725512

Thanks a bunch! :)


PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING OLD PASSWORDS

Once you've done that. I like to ask everyone to please make sure your projects security and passwords are updated; Google, dropbox, filezilla or whatever file sharing you use.


My friend studio got wind that their project was compromised recently. Meaning that someone outside had access to their movie files. Luckily, nothing has been tampered with and it seemed like they were after something else. It's maybe not a big thing of someone seeing your sketches and wip scenes. But when working with studios or clients, It can still be a terrible experience and could kill the project.


So just to be save, I recently just changed most of my passwords. if you haven't changed your password recently. Please do give it a second thought.


Future Collabs

As I'm busy looking for animation work, im currently hoping this year to work on lots of collabs and projects. Im currently working on Zeurel Freaky Fred Reanimated and i'm having fun working on something new with other talented people. It's great!


I want to do more. Maybe even organize one if artists and animators are interested...maybe a Resident Evil one :3


So please let me know! :)


Thank you and have a nice day!

I would like to wish artists, animators, game makers, musicians and everyone on Newgrounds...

...a Happy New Year!

This year for me has been an OKAY year;

  • I got to animate and work on an Italian series
  • Enjoy a lovely warm summer in London while at a Toon Boom camp
  • Get my first daily feature and my first contest win on Newgrounds (2nd Place Summer Jam)
  • Finally, do a lot more commissions than before. 

I say okay, maybe because December (before Christmas) for me was filled with shoplifters, robberies, a break-in at work (don't worry, that story is for another time.) So I'm still recovering from all that drama.

Well done to Newgrounds for hitting their supporter goal. This year we saw new and amazingly talented artists pop up. Seriously. So many super polite and amazing people that I met are truly the reason why this community is without a doubt, ONE OF THE BEST.

So overall, 2018 has just been okay.

My 2019 Plans are;

  • Work on another animated series this year.
  • Win another animation contest.
  • Travel AT LEAST twice to a different country (It'll be a bitch thanks to Brexit).
  • (BONUS) earn enough to quit my part-time job.

I'm currently working on something based on popular twitch games and esports. It'll be finished before Jan 31st.

I think Newgrounds is at the moment one of the best places for artists and creators to rise and grow. I don't know what the future holds or what difficulties that ALL OF US will face. But If we buckle down and keep a clear head. It will be a good year.


Thank you and Happy New Year to everyone!

(I'm close to hitting over 200 followers. I would really appreciate it if you could help me reach the goal)
