Seraphima Norris

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 09:21:00 +0000

Okay, so thisa update is kinda late, but, eh. I released seraphima furry on newgrounds and it did okay, i think it did particularly well given the circumstances (flash screwing up majorly) and we got a few compliments on the voice acting that myself and "mippa" did. Im proud of that fact for 2 reasons,

I found and selected a good voice actor for claire
I got complimented on my voice acting

a couple of days ago i also released the chuck norris fact generator 2, which seems to be waay more popular than the first, its a lot better so things turned out as planned. Its got almost twice the facts as the previous and an audio option. I've also started seraphima furry (real) episode 1. I've made the character of claire a little nicer with some "shading" and everything coming along slowly, but when melissa (the voice of claire) sends the audio to clair i'll work a little harder on it.

I plan to improve the animation on SF ep 1 a lot, i've already altered the 'recyclable' walk cycles from 18 frame loops (awful) to 22 frame loops (a LOT nicer) which makes everything a bit nicer... anyway, thats all for now, Keep Beating!

One Hundered and Twenty-Five

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:51:00 +0000

not too much of an update here, as promised (a while ago anyway) i updated all the design games (shirt designer, pet designer, design a leroy and occasion e-card). I have some plans to maybe make SBP a little more interactive but im not too sure if its going to get much more dynamic than it is... and its not exactly dynamic anyway, quite basic really. Seraphima Furry is being a bitch, the more i animate, the harder it gets to fix. I hope to fix this problem without re-animating it. Anyway, thats all for now, Keep Beating!

Fixin' Games

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 12:53:00 +0000

I FINALLY added that game i mentioned as well as 2 other games (leroys dance studio and design a leroy) - tomorrow i should update ALL the design games (shirt designer, pet designer, design a leroy and occasion e-card) with a "print" button so you can print out what you make which actually gives them (epecially the e-card) a point. The games section has been fixed up to be a little more organised so now you can browse the games by categories. Seraphima Furry is coming along slowly but its getting there.. I finally got a decent job on the new hush game, i get to animate the 'difficult' things, which are infact, not difficult. I get to animate the walk and run cycles... fun. Anyway, thats all the news i've got for now, so ,keep beating!

in the works!

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:20:00 +0000

well, it would seem everythings coming along in the world of SBP, with me getting on my ass and actually animating. Leroy's Drift is out and (hopefully) being watched and enjoyed. Seraphima Furry is underway and i think its going to be my best cartoon yet (art and animation wise) so look out for it! =D - Right now I've animated 77 frames of it which is about 3.2 seconds of animation, not much, but i only started today. Hush has been re-done again, the site has changed from www.hush-anime.110mb.com (if you go it'll re-direct you to the new site) to www.hush.110mb.com - The guys from hush decided to get a new programmer and make a game with him, which kinda pisses me off, but atleast i'll have more time for seraphima furry. If you're reading this new programmer guy, goodluck with the project. In a way im glad they're not asking me to program something, im sick of programming, which reminds me i still havent posted that game that i said i would with leroy's drift, theres also a few MORE games i need to release on SBP featuring Leroy & company. Back to hush, they have released a new cartoon, episode 4 of frivolous scrolls! It's lasted as long as my original series Joe the violent receptionist, but its a whole lot better, joe is old, but oneday i want to bring him back . Anyway. thats really it for flash news at the moment, keep beating!

UPDAAAAAAAAAAATES!

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:12:00 +0000

Okay, sorry for the lack of updates, i've been busy.

LATMPS been around now for a few weeks (incase i hadnt mentioned it). Anyway, updates!
I FINALLY updated the "About the Toons" page adding 2 more cartoons info (LATMP and Jesus Vs Mr. T) and adding a nice little feature so if you click a cartoons title, it will take you straight to the cartoons info. If you dont know HOW to get to that page, its very simple. Go to the homepage, then click "toons" at the top of the page (under the image) it has "About the Toons?" click that to go to the page. The only reason i added how to get there in the blog is because i've had to tell a few people how to find it now =D
Theres 2 cartoons in the works, one needs the artwork done, the other is getting near finished.
But thats all i'll reveal, it should be out in a few days if everything goes well. ALSO, if anyone under the age of 9 is unfortunate enough to go on SBP, there will be a new childrens game out in the next few days, its simple point-and-click stuff, nothing too fancy. Thats all for the moment, Keep Beating.

LATMP!!!

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:08:00 +0000

I released LATMP yesterday, im glad its done, but im not 100% happy with it. Either way its done and it'll do. I put the site back to the old way because of 2 reasons
1. the homepage wou;dnt work properly (but every other page did)
2. Its easier to update

what i want to do is have a flash sort of site BUT load each movie into it so you dont have to leave the page. However there are problems yet again! I WOULD do that, but, my current host, as grand as they may be, have 1 little flaw, its SO airtight that i cant load external data in flash. in english, that means i'll have to host my files somewhere else. Which sucks because my current host allows SO much space whereas many other hosts arent as good in that respect. oh well. The old layout will stick for now, I might finally add something to make it look a bit nicer. ALSO, as far as projects go, Flash Kingdom is still in planning, its going to be kinda difficult with everyone wanting something different, and me having to understand what they want and add it to the game, programming aint easy. Im also thinking of making a series of somesort or even a standalone toon, but im not going to reveal anything on that as its just an idea at the moment. well, thats alll for now... Keep Beating

Horses, Ducks and Pumpkins

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:38:00 +0000

Today I released horse ranch version 1.5 onto SBP and Newgrounds(http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/451646) (and the webmaster from flashstuf will add it in a few days). I thought it's be the final version but alas, someone found a bug (the same one joey pointed out aaaaages ago - i just forgot about it) and apparently i need to improve the graphics in it, personally i thought they were alright, nothing terribly flashy but neat and decent. Latmp is getting near completion, its kinda scary, ITS ALMOST DONE. Thats all i'll say on that one.
The hush site has been updated so everypage is working 100% im even on it in the staff section, i think they did a pretty good job on it too.
Thats really it for news at the moment, i dont want to give too much away on LATMP. Keep Beating.

LATMP is alive and well

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:53:00 +0000

i've been doing a wee bit'o work on LATMP and it seems to be going ahead alright, at the moment anyway there are currently 8 completed scenes. About 2 days ago i gave horse ranch a tiny update so it should be a bit easier for you. When your horse eats you USED to get +1 health now you get +3, not a heap i know, but it can make a world of difference! Flashstuf recently had a birthday (horse ranch came out on flashstuf on the same day), so happy 3rd birthday flashstuf! give them a visit at www.flashstuf.com!

thats really it for updates at the moment, keep beating!

XXXI did you say?

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:36:00 +0000

yeah, blakant managed to open to the long-since-dead ep 2 file and he finished it without me.
Im not too fussed about it though, and its the 'new' toon on SBP at the moment.
I'd also like to 'announce' that I have now updated the "about the toons" section, so you can read all about my problems with the work, likes/dislikes and excuses. Right now Im programming a 'big' game called horse ranch. If all goes according to plan, it should be out by this time next week (hopefully earlier) - i also plan on finishing LATMP - i finally got motivated enough to re-draw freds castle and i kinda miss working on the project. I've been using a lot of bandwith this month, getting near the high usage i had when SBP was at its peak of popularity, though with me more motivated, hopefully the hits will go up. Theres still LOTS of work to do on the site, but I WILL do it oneday. Thats all for now really, Keep Beating!

ontop of things again?

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:15:00 +0000

it would seem that thats the case.

I didnt update this thursday like i said i would, but a day late aint too bad.

Okay, so, 3 little pigs is up, its all done, nothing too special, but it kills 2 or so minutes.
ALSO a NEW pet, i know i told myself "no more pets for a while) BUT i have a reason for this one; that being my task in interactive media was to make one, but (as usual) i got ahead of myself and finished the pet before the lesson i was meant to do it. anyway, the pet is here now. You'll notice no stupid name like the other pets, its also somewhat bigger than the usual ones, not just in the pet size but canvas size (the others are 250 pixels by 250 pixels, this one is 250 by 400 pixels) anyway, theres not a whole lot to him, click his head, he blinks, click food, he looks over at it, feed him, he eats. No secrets this time, just a nice, basic pet. I dont know what im going to do next in terms of school work, but for 'home' work, im thinking more and more about completing LATMP, though i seem to work better under conditions (ie, time limits, requirements). Well, thats all for now, i think. Keep Beating.

an update? Hooray!

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 13:31:00 +0000

yes, I FINALLY did something. A few weeks ago I made an Elmer Fudd converter which i put up on the ol' dA (www.stillbeatingpictures.deviantart.com) with the intention of soon putting it on SBP, today, I FINALLY made that 1337 converter i've been PLANNING to make for quite some time (i coded it out AAAAAAAAGES ago) and out them both up on SBP, I also edited the games section a TINY bit so the page isnt so wide. Thats REALLY all I've done on SBP for quite some time... though i want to re-make it in flash sometime this year and make it look waaay better and be waaay simpler with navigation and the like. Lately I've been drawing an awful lot so im considering animating this character i drew, though coming up with a project idea is another thing entirely. Mystic Knight hasnt really gotten anywhere quickly, the scripts all done and most of the characters and their animations, but i've decided; if im going to finish ANY animation, it WILL be LATMP. I gave up the project, but now i want to complete it again!

in my interactive media class im animating a (silent, mainly sprite) version of the 3 little pigs, I plan to have it done thursday, but its nothing special. The only things i drew and animated were; the pigs houses, the wind when the wolf huffs and puffs and fireworks (its a subtle joke about video games, you'll know it when you see it) - i made it in flash MX which i stopped using LONG ago, so im not great with the setup, though i get by okay.

so, an update today and possibly another thursday! YAY! im doing stuff finally!

While im here i might aswel share a funny story with you, dear reader; I was in my interactive media class animating the scene where you see all the pigs building their houses when this guy walks in the class and sits down near me. The guy next to me and the guy who walk in begin to talk about computers and stuff they did on the weekend when the guy who walked in says "oh yeah, I stole all the games off moodle" (moodle is an online (personalized by 'owner') community for a set workplace (like a school) can use to distribute information easily, set work and all this, last year when my society and environment teacher set it up he managed to get word of my humble little SBP, after the existance of moodle was allowed and made permanent he put forward the idea of "game zone" where students could go to play games without going through HEAPS of bandwith, safe, secure, fun. I agreed to adding my games to game zone and it was born) things fell kinda silent after that and i replied to the guy "you know I made those games" to which he responded slowly "...yeah" after that we got into a conversation about how easy it is to take things off of websites and distribute peoples work without consent. He asked me why i dont self-advertise more, and i didnt really have an answer, the best i had was "i hate getting spam, so i dont give people it" - but really i should more so IF people steal my stuff (like that spanish site taking my tamagotvhi style games) i can still get credit for them. All in all, i found the situation very amusing.

one hell of an update eh? Maninly stories =P
well, i've kept you long enough, thanks for reading and Keep Beating!

long since updated

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:04:00 +0000

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, i got lazy.

Last thing i did on LATMP was when leroy jumps out of a tree and attempts to fly but falls and hit the floor, i havent worked on it since, because of some computer errors and the like flash has been running awfully slow and as a result i cant do a whole bunch. I half-assed made a (extremely) mini sidescroller game which im yet to work on further and i did a tiny bit of animation for Mystic Knight (the new knight project). So far nothings got my main focus, i WOULD do latmp, but with my computer being a bitch, flash cant handle it.

I did finally make a start on the running cycle tutorial i've been planning to do for a while.
i ACTUALLY started it a long time ago, but i only did the loader and menu, NOW i (almost) got the first cycle down. i Just gotta find the .fla i had with the runs i had all planned (and animated) out. Funnily enough I havent talked to either Blakant OR akoRn from hush lately, they havent seemed to be online, which is a shame. Last time i spoke to them they were re-doing their website - check it out (www.hush-anime.110mb.com).

The forums have been down for quite sometime (warren appears to have dissapeared off the face of the earth, so im going to replace that section with something full of flash-y goodness) - but thats all i'll say about it in this blog as everything MIGHT not go according to plan, HOPEFULLY it will though. I should really do some more comics as that sections almost dead.

I've been thinking about re-modeling the site, but thats a LONG way away, ALSO (for those who were with the early SBP) i'll bring the old clocks back to the pets section.

As it turns out the flashstuf (www.flashstuf.com) webmaster reads this blog, so hi there webmaster!

i think thats all for now, Keep Beating.

im glad i dont make deadlines

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sat, 17 May 2008 13:14:00 +0000

I've been meaning to update this for a while, and now i've finally gotten around to it. Lately I havent really done a lot on latmp, well, animating anyway. I threw in a bunch of extras just to make it more fun, theres 'world' which is just like the history which explains the weird characters and the story and stuff. Characters just gives an overview of the characters, like who they are how they're involved with the story, im going to add a scrapbook after the completion of latmp. On the menu (originally) there was a part of freds castle in the background with the magical pumpkin glowing in the centre with leroy standing next to it, then i added a 'feature' which makes the menu a little more random, rather than leroy standing theres a chance of something different, its in a chance of 9, ie, a 4 in 9 chance of leroy standing - 2 in 9 chance of leroy sleeping - 1 in 9 chance of getting the old guy standing there - 1 in 9 chance of getting fred standing there - 1 in 9 chance of jesus off to the side. i WILL do more animating soon, but right now im planning out a new tutorial (2 in fact) so...yeah.
Keep Beating!

Flashstuferiffic II

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:54:00 +0000

Flashstuf being the spiffy website it is recently set up a profile thing - kinda like myspace, but easier and less lame, i officially got everything sorted out for my profile today, I found it pretty easy to use.

me being the special member of flashstuf that i am (=P) - the webmaster has to add each one of my flash things manually (as opposed to everyone elses whos is auto added to their profile) to my profile. okay, so maybe its not because im special, its just the username of mine, as the name on the forums and site is "StillBeatingPictures" (because you cant use spaces) but when the webmaster added my stuff he adds it as (the correct) "StillBeating Pictures" the space is considered a character so as far as coding goes, thats a different name alltogether. anyway, heres my profile so far (note, its only got my 'submissions' from 2008); http://profile.flashstuf.com/stillbeatingpictures

I havent done much work on latmp lately, but me crippling my entire right-leg, im going to be 'grounded' for the weekend (not like i go anywhere anyway) so i WILL do work on it.
... Just so you know, flashstuf will get all the (updated) LATMP stuff (like leroys dance studio, a better design a leroy) after i finish LATMP and submit it.

akoRn from hush (www.hush-anime.110mb.com) is getting along nicely with his animation, he sends me what he's done so i can go over it for him :) - Right now everything in Hush and SBP is kinda at a standstill, but flashstuf is coming along nicely, so be sure to check it out and make a profile www.flashstuf.com - thats all for now, Keep Beating.

mini update

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:10:00 +0000

well, i havent really done a lot on LATMP for the past few days but i HAVE made a little dancing game where you tell leroy what do do an he'll dance it out for you. Its on my deviantart account (www.stillbeatingpictures.deviantart.com).

Flashstuf has taken yet another great step forward theres a 'latest content' portal - simmilar to that of newgrounds, just smaller and easier. Its got profiles and such kinda like that of myspace and now a spiffy new forum. check it out at www.flashstuf.com

as i said, this is a mini update, so thats all for now!
keep beating!

LATMP and pets - again

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:59:00 +0000

well, recently i made yet ANOTHER bat pet which flies around randomly on its own, but with this pet you've got to put the food to its mouth for it to eat, unlike the other pets where it wasnt so specific. i've been doing a bit of work on latmp lately, right now theres 149.9 seconds of animation done, and im only up to the fourth scene, heres what happens (in short, obviously)
(narrator introduction) - Leroy talks to eugene about the magical pumpkins appearance, Leroy suspects his banker of being evil and hunting the pumpkin, euegen calls him an idiot and dissapears, leroy gets up (end of scene 1) Leroys walking through town and finds fred, he chases him but loses him, he reads a sign which talks about a vegetable competion but fails to read it all before running off (end of scene 2) Leroy goes to the park where the competition is meant to be held, but hes early, he sees jesus and asks for his help, jesus yells at him and beams away, leroy then asks an old guy whos sitting on a nearby bench when the competition is, hes then told its the next day (end of scene 3) in the next scene leroy will be at home (which is a tree) and he'll bust out of it matrix style, the next scene, what will happen next? thats for me to know, and you to find out.. when its released...

... Keep Beating!

Navigation with the Quickness!

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:14:00 +0000

i spent the bulk of today adding a new quick nav thing to the bottom of every page so its easier to get around, once someone complained about having to press the back button. which i never understood, i've never been bothered by things like that, but i added it and it took me almost all damned day. It's done though, if you find a page which doesnt have it on (not the homepage obviously) PM me on the forums.

for the past 2 or so days i've been doing a little bit of work on latmp. Not much to say, but its getting there. For the tutorial on lightning/electricity i've got 2 things animated, but i want atleast 2 more before i start it officially.

i've got a few plans for making sbp even better, but as they are still plans i dont want to reveal them incase things backfire or whatever.

Thats all the news for now.. i think.

Keep Beating!

Interactivemen?

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:12:00 +0000

yes, i FINALLY made a second interactiveman 'pet', it didnt turn out quite as i hoped, but it'll do for now. The next shall be all new and brilliant, i promise.

if you were with sbp from the start we had a misc page, much like we do now, but it was just a bunch of flash stuff stuck together, anyway, on there there was a thing called "doodles" one of those things that you could draw with, its back now in the pets section, you can pu it on your myspace and everything too.

the clocks WILL come back. they too will be in the pets section.

im working on LATMP on weekends when i feel like it, i showed a sneak preview to blakant and akoRn from hush, it was the first 2 minutes, but they liked it. the scene i should be working on is where it becomes less flat and more realistic- but still cartoony. It'll be some hard animation to do, but when its done, it'll look VERY nice.

well... thats all i think

Keep Beating!

Tutorials, LATMP, Pets and History

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:12:00 +0000

i've been meaning to mention it for like 3 days now, but the animal tutorial is officially out. It took a lot of work, but its done.
I've made a NEW lavalamp AND pet. there will be atleast 1 more pet up soon enough.
That history animation i did confused some people, made others laugh, oh well, it served its purpose. actually, a guy I know said I was a genious because of how i did it and such and i was complimented on the animation, which i would often reply "what animation? most of it was poorly edited images!" then they would reply "it was still good though" which im no going to complain about. I havent worked much on LATMP, though i did recently pick up the project again for an hour or so, but i WILL do more tomorrow.
Blakant (www.hush-anime.110mb.com) is doing an animation "Biology Vs Chemistry" which apparently is getting near completion. He just show the animation to me so i can critique it and suggest was to improve it. He's gone through 2 set of fire loops and i still bug him about perfecting it. thats the only fault in the animation. I've noticed those hush guys tend to do more of that stop-start-stop-start animation, whereas i prefer to make min as smooth as possible, but its really a matter of taste, people like different things. akoRn is re-doing the ENTIRE hush site as a magazine thing now, its sounds a bit odd, but they have a way of making things work out. He is ALSO working on frivolous scrolls - the second season. which (along with Blakant animation) i look forward to seeing completed. i have 2 plans for future things, 1. the chuck norris fact generator 2, and the Interactiveman 2. I think im going to update the 'ol dA account soon.. with more than tutorials. But its hard work with just 1 person behind ALL the stuff on the site, theres a LOT to do, i just wish the site was known a little better, oh well, only time will tell! Keep Beating!

HIstorical Tutorials

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:24:00 +0000

okay, the plan was to animate LATMP today, though i was woken up at about 9:45 to go on msn, then i was asked to animate a 30 second + animation for my history class by one if the people im working with, thankfully it was meant to be a 'piss-take' and the night before i had a really good idea for a joke. Soon enough i had another good joke, and then a lame endng one. Im probably going to offend a lot of people with it, but eh.
theres jokes about;
1. one of the gay nazis
2. the pope
3. the things samuel l jackson and hitler have in common

its okay though because chuck norris approves of it.

AFTER completing this animation i WAS going to start the animal tutorial officially, but i thought of 3 more cycles which i will animate THEN make the tutorial, i've already animated 2 runs and a walk, but more stuff = more to teach = more veiwer learns.
the history animation will be up soon enough.

hush is starting up a magazine thing sometime in the near future, i probably wont have an article in it =D but i'll wind up being the editor, which i dont mind doing. it gives me something to do.

uhh... thats all i can think of for now..

Keep Beating!

Helpin' n00bs since...Recently.

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 12:58:00 +0000

Well, i FINALLY got another tutorial done. This means THE TUTORIAL SECTION IS FINALLY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the next tutorial will be on how to animate water, then possibly how to animate animals. Later i'll make some actionscript ones, not many though, just like how to make a preloader and stuff..
Now the tutorial stuff is out of the way LATMP will be a full-time project thingo. WHEN that is completed, i'll make a game and do some comics, that NEEDS an update. Maybe some wallpapers and then i'll get onto MORE tutorials.

I have a whiteboard and a makeshift office. It's so cool.

uhh, theres a few new pets out and i made 2 new lavalamps. the skull one randomly picks a coloured skull to process, so you can have like 4 different coloured skulls in your lavalamp at one time. Thats really it for the moment...

Keep Beating!

workin' hard - hardly workin'

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 08:54:00 +0000

LATMP (leroy and the magical pumpkin) is coming along, but its going REALLY slowly.
so far i've done 720 frames, (not including the intro and theme song) and its mainly leroy and eugene arguing... sorta, leroys expression changes and stuff so its not THAT boring to watch, but im going to throw some extra stuff into the background.

i am finally making a new tower defence game! though it will come out AFTER LATMP.
its like an RPGTD, you play as leroy and you can hire jesus and eugene to help you as you defend your castle from a never-ending horde of freds. when LATMP comes out this will all make sense to you.

ALSO there will be a new tutorial so I can finally open the section! YAY!

i PROMISE i WILL do more comics and quizzes once i get all of these projects done, unless i forget. maybe log onto the stillbeating forums (www.stillbeatingforums.co.nr) and remind me?
or possibly my dA? (www.stillbeatingpictures.deviantart.com)

Keep Beating!

LATMP

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:11:00 +0000

okay, sorry for the lack of updates, but i've been kinda busy.
first off, theres a NEW pet, Rush.
and now i've made a help section for the pets (its under the pets banner) so you know what they do and how they do it, it also covers how to adopt a pet and some other stuff.
i forgot to mention, but on the 1st of this month Flashstuf had a MEGAHUGE update.
seriously, its awesome, check it out; www.flashstuf.com

the guys from hush (www.hush-anime.110mb.com) are working on some new animations. so i loook forward to seeing them.

remember leroy and the magical pumpkin?
well, its now got a script and i've animated leroy doing 5 things, mainly the harder stuff.
so far he can; get down on his four legs and run (2 separate animations), stand (a sort of animated stand - he DOES breathe) and walk. im still touching up the walk, he walks on his back legs and hes a hard character to animate walking.
so far there are gags about/including

childrens TV shows,
Jesus,
Super Mario,
Street Fighter,
Ninjas,
Dragonball z (but the fight scene dosent last for a billion years)

i THINK thats all of the things.

thats all for now, Keep Beating!

OMG

noreply@blogger.com (StillBeatingPictures) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 12:25:00 +0000

okay, so no more comics yet, la da, i promise i'll do more, tomorrow, hopefully.

i released my walking cycle tutorial today, it went over MUCH better than i thought it would.
heres the URL; http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/428059
so, thanks to everyone who viewed and voted on this!

i WAS going to animate something today, but i was so caught up in my tutorial.
im really excited about it, its my first tutorial and it went over so well. im really happy about it. it was really WORTH all the work i did on it to know that people are finding it helpful.

i want to animate a character doing a fighting loop, so, i think thats what im going to do.
im still getting used to this tablet, and im really keen on using this pen more.

well, thats pretty much all the news for now.
Keep Beating!

today i had the day off as i was stuck down with some illness.
anyway, i added 3 new pets to the pets section, and made the pet section look better, i added thumbnails rather than the .swf of the pet as they (when grouped together) take too long to load.
im STILL working on the tutorial, didnt do any work on it today though =D

comics, well, the guys who are meant to be doing it havent got ANYTHING done, so thats ANOTHER thing i have to do, geez.
heres what i got to do

finish raindrop tutorial
get leroy and the magical pumpkin script done
make more tutorials
open tutorial section
animate leroy and the magical pumkpin
come up with some comics
make some comics
open the comics section
make more tests/quizzes
do some voice acting for blakant (www.hush-anime.110mb.com)
probably some other stuff.

now this ATOP school shit and other comitments is a LOT of work, so it'll all probably end up getting finished in a month or two, maybe more.

well, thats pretty much all the news for now... i think.

Keep Beating
