Showin' off BGs for 9.5 pt2

I like this method, doing a lot of backgrounds before laying into the animation itself instead of halting the keyframing to stop and do up another background. This is working. Also I don't know if I'll have that ceiling window break spectacularly or to leave it as a huge tease that ALMOST breaks just to build tension to release later. Who knows? Thanks for patronizing! Also more background live streams on my twitch on the weekends now that I am not workin' as a janitor these days!

9.5 part 1 has been uploaded.

You guys make it happen. Thank you so much for your patience.

Upload in 3-4 hours.

GUYS! Thank you so much for not hunting me down and sticking my head on a spike for missing a deadline by so many days.  We were tweaking and nudging things to such a degree that I got a little carried away in the alterations.

AT ANY RATE. I am gonna let this bugger compile up then fire it off to Newgrounds first, and Youtube second.  I'm excited with how it came out, and I hope you like it well enough.  I've already gotten the ball rolling on part 2, and since the damn ...

TWENTY TWO DAYS TIL MADNESS DAY

On the animation front I am currently working on Madness 9.5 PART 1, and I hope to HECK I can get this done in time. It's only a part one, and while it isn't as short as the dedmos series parts, it is a setup to the meatier half of 9.5 while still being thick with satisfying violence. Wish me the luck, I could use a few strands to make it.

In other news the prize pool I created for Madness Day has gone absolutely bananas (THANKS TO YOU GUYS, THE FANS!) Currently it stands at $1355 (+th...

Keep it together...

Just a reminder to myself, the goals are achievable. I just hit the 3 minute mark. I should have something of 'okay' size and quality by Madness day (September 22).  It will be the first part of the Madness Combat 9.5, and we're looking at just a bunch of strange nonsense but at the core it is 'moar madness'.  Thank you for supporting me, fellas and fellettes.  

Oh god oh no.

I'm really trying to trim the amount of frame by frame flamey/electric artwork I gotta do if I intend to get a part1 done by Madness Day, but I just can't help myself.  Sometimes things just gotta look cool.

That said the silver lining to this quarantine is that I'm spending a lot of weekend hours on this, the real issue in my head that needs resolving is just where to cut this beast.  I have the plot points I need to hit but I want to make sure we don't hit too many of them,...

An Experiment has arrived...

I'll have some news and updates on 9.5 in a couple days for you patrons. Stay tuned..

An important P.S.A.

Look what ya'll made me do.

MC 9.5

So as I get into the 'second act' of this cartoon I wonder and think. Really just some out loud musings.

The dedmos series was 5 shorts that mushed together into one long cartoon that was uploaded separately.  Did you guys enjoy being told a story in this format or did getting 1 minute at a time (or sometimes 4 minutes) break it up too much for you? I ask this because 9.5 would make for an interesting 2 parter, if only because as much as I love cliffhangers, I'd want something in ...

We're done, what's the hold up?

Hey guys. It's me, that guy that you're supporting (Thanks for the food, btw. For real. These gainz are brought to you by this generosity)! Why haven't I released that new short yet? Well, I'm just waiting on a lil music! I was a fool and didn't start the ball rolling on getting the music soon enough! But all is not lost! I've returned to work on 9.5 with a vigor that I haven't felt since... well, since I started that short! It won't be long, and I thank you for staying tuned.

It was suppose to be a short cartoon! get it done in a month, right?

But then I was like, "what if we spend 4 hours making a background and some scientist shrugging his shoulders"?  The cartoon will be better off for it, and I am glad ya'll're patient with me as I stumble through the art process on stream!

SATURDAY STREAM?

Hey guys! You know that toon I'm working on with the guys that do the hand stretching? Stream tomorrow, maybe noon EST? Sound good to you? Alright? Alright!
EDIT; SORRY I FORGOT I GOTTA THING. It has to be saturday evening EST.
https://www.twitch.tv/mr_krinkels 

you know I got them streams, my dudes.

Hey guys! So I know a lot of you follow my twitch, so you've been seeing me stream a little more, working on this little xprmnt.fla thing here. The motivation for this is that the .5 is taking me a lot longer than I would have liked so why not bang out a super short lad and engage with youse guys while I do it, right? I hope you'll enjoy the creation process, together. That said, probably going to stream tomorrow (Sunday, Jan 12th).

If you haven't been following my twitch, make sure to...

Those ANGLES

I had thought I was done with this scene but after leaving it behind I realized it could have been a bit 'more' if I added something to the transition. I don't know how much it 'adds' to the cartoon as a whole but it looks pretty cool, and you get a cool close up, right? This cartoon is carting along pretty well, despite the tight schedule. Thank you all for sticking with me through this.

NOT DEAD. STREAM NEXT WEEK.

HA HA HA!!! I've loosened my tie a bit and can go even faster! regular speed :c
I wanna watch toons and do some concept art with youse guys, so heads up; stream like, tomorrow and either friday or wednesday. Either way I miss you knuckleheads.

It's a busy month.

Making backgrounds ahead of time is cool as hell. Transitioning from one scene to the next without pulling the breaks to make a new BG is a joy I have just now discovered and I think I might be hooked on doing things this way, now.

Project Nexus continues to dominate my schedule, the hours I put in after the office time are stacking up. It'll still be a month or two before I have anything to show, as I don't want to leave spoiler-ish things hanging out there too long before I drop the ...

Post Madness Day 2019 plans!

Hey guys, this last month has been a pretty turbulent one, eh? As far as flash goes I've gotten some more  road under the ol' tires, and having Madness Day 2019 come through invigorated me, as these things tend to do!   I've stopped mindlessly hacking out backgrounds for the .5 and actually BEGUN ANIMATING the damn thing.  Naturally, I have no idea when this lad is coming along, but I will do my best to update you guys, the wind beneath the damn wings of me being able to d...

Tidying up .fla files for a long haul.

Hey there folks! Just dropping a post to let you guys know what I am up do.  You might remember that I have started on mc12, we've had a stream or two where I assembled backgrounds, and off stream I have been building animatics and trying to figure out just what to do next.  mc12.fla is certainly staged for some keyframing!  HOWEVER, over the last two weeks, I've been realizing that another .5 episode would absolutely be worthwhile, and if I'm smart about it, not a grueling end...

DISSENTER

DISSENTER. A short tale about a guy dealing with trespassers.  Thanks for coming along for the ride, guys.

Hey so there had to be an explosive finish.

Still plugging away at this one when the evenings permit, but this has been a hell of a month, with things finally starting to chill the hell out. Checking in with you lads to ask about whether or not you're following the streams, what you think of the progress, or any other distressing concerns.

I've been thinking a lot about what mc12 even will be while working on this one, of course, and I'm grateful for the time i've given myself to really run through the best way to start it. &nbs...

Alright, so... Before I really sink into MC12....

The progress on Madness Combat 12 has been less than ideal. The process has been making backgrounds, character set pieces, and a few layouts with pages of notes. Of course; knowing my process those notes are going to be trashed by the end, devoured by the process.  The backgrounds, however, are primo and are helping me structure this thing. I got a process.

ANY RATE, the process has been slow. I'm am frankly straight up DAUNTED by what lies ahead of me, particularly because I have...

What are you even doing, Krinkels?

After the dedmos adventure reached its conclusion I was left kinda spinning  my tires, as it were. A good chunk of time was spent not even thinking about animation and just focusing on Project Nexus and drawing garbage, and all that cleared out some nonsense in my head about how I should approach MC12. After some loose sketches done over the last couple of days jumped out at me I have reasonable confidence in beginning this behemoth and I'll be thrilled to update you as I go, of course. ...

So that was a scream...

Thanks for watching, friends.

Checklist for this .fla cartoon

_ redesign 'that' goon
_ finish off the final bit of characters moving around
_ one more background for conclusion
_ audio

Sooner, rather than later. An update to thank you for your patience. By the end of this cartoon we'll have some clear narrative direction for the next cartoon. Maybe we'll chat a little about expectations!

How long should this FinalDedmos.fla be?

I ask you guys because hell, you're flipping the bill and keeping me fed in the evenings while I work on this, so I figure I'd run the question by you, right?  

So, The most important thing about this cartoon is the end, and that could take a few sessions by itself, so I'm wondering how much fun filler violence content should I put in before things off-ramp into the credits? I could start winding down immediately, get this thing done in a week or two, or push and just see how larg...

A little late night streaming over on twitch...

https://www.twitch.tv/mr_krinkels

Only for a couple hours, just wanna do a little bitty of the violence.

Listen, deimos, you gotta calm down.

Stream later today, gotta take care of some shit but I wanted to let you know that there is some animation going on today, a little delayed, not cancelled!

Going to be doing it on twitch again because archiving is great.

Deadmos and beyond...

I've gotten a good start on the final deadmos cartoon, I am considering making it substantially longer than the four cartoons that came before it, but we'll see how that goes as I start nailing down scenes. I guess it depends on if the action is engaging because the plot sure isn't!  Last weekend I fired up a surprise stream, and a lot of you popped in to watch me stumble into this scene, which was some good times.  Did some drawing, too! Might do more of that, even if we know the a...

Okay, MC11 is done, finally... what's next?

I am massively thankful that the reception for MC11 has been so positive. You guys are entirely too kind to me.  Being such a large undertaking I'm skittish about taking on something as large as that again, so I'm changing gears (or rather, have been changing gears) into a bombardment of canonical sorts.  The dedmos finale is first up on that chopping block, and charged by you guys rooting me on I've already started on it, but I had to start with a lot of concept art to re-orient my...

Where do we go from here? FInishing that dedmos series, of course! I guarantee that won't take 7 years!
