HI, NEWGROUNDS !!


I've opened a PATREON, just one $2 tier, let's keep it simple :]


It's the first step to get my Filmmaking being my main way of living. This Patreon is just if you want to give a special form of support to my craft!

You get access to WIP and behind the scenes content of the current project I'm making !!


I'll keep working on the animation regardless of how well the PATREON page performs it could just take a little bit more time due to me taking other jobs and stuff to keep going.


Thank you for taking the time!!

'SUP NEWGROUNDS !!

I hope everything is great.


It's me again with another Animation Update :]

First of all, I made a Ko-fi goal to get some money I need to get the animation done so consider dropping a tip if you can!


The animation can be watched from start to finish now! I have ALL VOICE ACTING RECORDED and there is a special guest voicing some silly monkeys.


It feels like an eternity but I got really ambitious with this one so it is taking a lot more time than I expected but I think it is worth it :]


iu_1017087_6837879.gif


Right now I'm making layouts for the shots, when I finish those I'll work on the color script and then I can start working on the Backgrounds as well as animation, I'll get some help on that so hopefully it will move a little faster than usual.

There is no release date anymore but it will be out as soon as possible :]


iu_1017089_6837879.webp


Almost all my time goes to either working on the film or animating for ENA: Dream BBQ so I usually have my social media aside, I am super grateful for y'all support despite that.

Again, consider taking a look at the Ko-fi page


THANK YOU FOR STICKING AROUND !!

I'M NOT DEAD !!


Hey there Newgrounds, how are you doing? I'm still working hard on the animation!


I have finished all the action sequences' rough animation, I wish I could show you but I want you to see them when the time comes. Right now I'm revisiting and rearranging the composition and visuals of all the conversation.

I want the talk to be as fun as the action!

iu_963111_6837879.webp


I have almost ALL VOICE ACTING RECORDED and there's now just music and design regarding audio.

I'm aiming for this to release in the first weeks of July remember I do all animation here!


It is turning out really fun and I think I'm landing cool visuals, It is gonna be wild and I won't drop the project


Aw man, I have dumped so much time on this project I don't know if it is the right move, it has been a super tiresome couple of months, Anyways, thank you for reading if you are, I really appreciate it.


THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE !!

HI, NEWGROUNDS !!

First, an important announcement is ENA Dream BBQ trailer is out for you to see, also don't forget to wishlist on Steam!

I did some small 2D animation for it :] Mizu Wolf is responsible for that trailer to look that good (Color script, cinematography, post-production, etc) follow him, he's one of the most skilled and kind persons I know :]]


I'm still working on the next Liv animation in my free time tho ENA is my main priority for now!


Regarding Liv:

THE SCRIPT IS DONE, as well as Story Boards, animation is around 6 minutes 💀

I am working on a quick animatic for the Voice actors to start recording, and then make the music by the hand of FaRe'N'HiTe !! It's gonna be groovy


Here's Liv's final Model sheet and I love her !!

I'll be working on one for the other characters too.

iu_881845_6837879.webp

If you make fanart of Liv I'd love to see it so don't hesitate on tagging me/ sending it !!


Here are a few shots of rough animation I did in my free time!!

I really want to make something special.

I'm aiming for it to be completed by the end of April, remember this is an Indie production I do by myself, I don't count with any kind of exposure/help that a student film for example could have, so thank you for sticking around regardless :]


iu_881908_6837879.gif


Man, I'd love to release animations every month... I just can't.


Thank you for your patience !!

OMG HI !!!


'Sup, it's been a while since my last update but I was in the middle of 2 projects that required a lot of attention and time. Spooky Month 5 has been finished and with it my responsibilities too! all the crew worked really hard on it and I hope you watch it this Saturday! I will post some shots of the scenes I worked on later.


My only compromise left is 2d animation for ENA DreamBBQ but loads of work are less so I can focus some more time on my next project, now I am throwing some thumbnails and conceiving the flow of the animation as well as visuals.

I've been pushing some limits and learning how to do stuff, I think my color choices and visual design skills have grown a lot lately but of course, I can't do everything so I have already got some people to help me with post-production and music. It's going to be a wild and fun little project! ALso, I have lots of people and things to catch up!


A Patreon page is in the works too so I can afford a living out of my films so stay tuned for more details on that


Thanks again Newgrounds and let me know your thoughts on this!

'sup Newgrounds!

I'm working on my next Shortfilm "HOOKED" I just wanted to show you some stuff and talk to you about the future.

First of all the animation is going well overall I'm aiming for late April for this to release but it may take longer due to I am doing all of the animation and post-production to it.

I've opened a Ko-fi page for you to support the project if you want, but with you watching it when it releases it's more than enough, The goal already reached 20% so THANK YOU!

I'm doing a lot of fun and interesting shots for this one you know I like a little bit of crazy/exaggerated shots!

I've been thinking of what I'm gonna do next, I have this character redesign of my UNDER INSPECTION animation (Really proud of that one) I like him a lot so I might consider doing something with him, of course, all depends on how well "HOOKED" perform.

iu_584213_6837879.webp

Thanks for supporting my work I'll keep working hard to provide you with a lot more art!

Hey there Newgrounds!!, it's been a while I know but I've been working on this thing every day I can and have a lot of stuff to show you.

Script, Boards, Music, and Voice Acting are done! I am animating the shots now, I am very excited for this to come out, I've done a lot of material since the last post but we're gettin' there!


Fishman's office most of the animation happens in here I... wonder what's the deal.

iu_563563_6837879.webp

Now, remember I said I was working on the music very Inspired by Hylics2? well, I trashed what I've done and contacted Chuck Salamone he is Hylics 2 composer!! He made the soundtrack for this animation and it's freaking great, the music along with the animation really get powerful!!

I've been working my ass off in this since October and is cool finally watching all of this coming together.


Something important is that I've opened a ko-fi goal, so If you feel like helping me fund this animation you can!!

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this!
