Hello fellow boys, girls and creepy old men! It's time for an update and I have a juicy one as well. As you know, today (August 15th) is when the Mobile Game Jam ends. I thought that this would be a great opportunity to collab and make something for it. So me and my team made Little Fellas which you can check out and play at this very moment!
Honestly, it has been a while since I collabed with anyone and this is also the first time I'm participating in some kind of Jam. Even without any prior game making experience, I think we gave it our all and made something simple yet fun. I want to thank each and every member of the team that participated in this including @BobbyBurt@MrPakoMan@OrkOrk@0chin@Cryptospore@Dry. Ya'll have done a wonderful job and thanks again for participating in this!
The end of 2021 is near bros and I thought I'd make a lil post discussing the shit I did since I should really start making posts here anyway. Originally, I saw @SantaSausage do it, so it inspired me as well ;) go check out his post here, awesome dude!
Anyways, this year has been very impactful for me as a lot has happened. First things first, I finally animated my first commission cartoon for a local Lithuanian punk rock band called Toro Bravo. I had the privilege not only doing something big for me but also making something so personal to the band itself. Even though this might sound like a downer, the vocalist's (Čiubas) father passed away after the production of the song. Before he died, the man shared a dream in which he was chased by a black train trough some kind of void. Eventually, the train catches up to him and that is it. Originally, we had a different idea for the clip but after discussing with Čiubas, he wanted a meaningful music video and I supported that. I am glad that I was part of paying the tribute to his father's legacy.
The music video took about 6 months to make. I started somewhere in last October actually but everything was fully finished in April. Not gonna lie, if I had even more time, I would have made it even better but for what's it worth, this was the biggest animation project I have been apart of and now it sits forever as Toro Bravo - Pabaiga. "Pabaiga" meaning - the end.
Moving on, I am not a big music guy but I do be liking making some weird ass sounds. Well, for my girlfriend's @0chin birthday, I made a song, dedicated just for her. It was a secret surprise so, I was hiding and lying for a month telling that was going out to meet up with my guys in the city when in actuality, I was in a recording studio with my good pal Studio Maruko who unfortunately is not on Newgrounds but you can find him by searching his name. Lucky for me that I have some musical connections, because without his help, this song would have sounded 90% worse than it is right now. At some time, I also figured that I needed a sax in the song. Because if you're making a hot, romantic rock n' roll, how can you not include a sax?? Anywho, I knew a guy and funny story. During the day when he came in the studio to record, before that I was in a bar where I robbed a socker table by lockpicking the locks and got some money (I was a broke ass boy during that time). Anyway, long story short, paid him for the sax and also bought weed from the guy lmao.
More on the serious note, I wanted to make this song since for the first time in my life, I was in a long distance relationship and I always said that I will never take part in such things. But it happened and it's still happening! I wanted to make a special song that would encourage us more to meet and to reassure that we can do it (which by the way did happen and it was baller as hell). But yeah, the project took about a month to complete and I was satisfied with the results (she was too hehe <3).
What's next? I don't fucking know really. I'm not the best at this stuff but the summer was pretty cool. I ended up going to my first music festival. It was in my own country, called the Swampfest. It's basically an underground punk organized event that lasted for three days, got to see some gnarly bands!
Got a well paying job for the first time everrrr. Previously I worked as a decoration builder in a theatre house, a security guard there as well for a bit, a food delivery boy for a company that does not do any kind of insurance for you and finally as a guy in a boot factory, removing boots. Right now, I am working at a bank as customer support and although there are some questionable people coming, I truly appreciate being welcomed there and being given the opportunity to be part of them. Because of this, I was also able to finally move out to my own apartment and like mentioned before, had a very nice time with @0chin here!
So good vibes overall!
Lastly, I will mention some other important things that happened this year:
I re-released my 2017 noise album and now you can stream it on Youtube. Just keep in mind, this is some brain drilling and you shouldn't listen to it actually. It will give you a headache.
I also re-released my 2018 EP which can be listened to Youtube as well. Not as noisy but still weird af.
Oh yeah and I also made a little vlog walking around the woods talking about how much I love the sun.
I made a new video for my second channel on Youtube. In which me and my friend Denom are exploring this cool abandoned building and drawing some graffiti along the way. There was this guy that was following us at first. It's a shame we didn't get it on camera. (Maybe next time we visit this place???)
So I made a new one, and you can follow it by clicking HEEEEEREREEEE. Starting over everything. If anyone's wondering, it's just a bug with my last account. Won't go into further details really.
So how's it been? Long? Really? Well good, cause I made a new cartoon that you can check it out here on Newgrounds or Youtube. I know it's been 8 months, and this a really short cartoon, but it's only because I was a lazy piece of shit and stoped making it. Also a bit shitty quality, but it's because I fucked up from the begining of making the cartoon. Fucked up the resolution settings.
News???
Curently I'm working on a Rick and Morty collab, but I also started 2 other projects that I'm exited about. In reality I won't any more promises on when you should expect them, but they will be uploaded someday. And Idunno, maybe I'll upload more art or something.
So basicly, I'm kinda lost at what I want to animate, there for the date I uplaod anything on my goddamn channel is still unclear. But I was making this cartoon that I canceled the production of due to the fact that I found it not that really funny. It's a very short cartoon (possibly not even a minute) with one joke in it that may not even be clear to some viewers. But I am close to finishing it. So my question is, should I finish it and release it? I'd be happy to just do it and publish the cartoon, but I may disappoint some people if they are expecting something amazing for my next creation. So here. Submit your votes. If you guys agree I should finish it. Then I promise it'll be out in 2 or maybe less weeks. Little sneek peep on how the cartoon looks like.
Anime Amigos episode 3.33 is gonna be out in 9 days (october 4th.). The lead animator, artist, voice actor and also a director and writer is @RyanStorm. Check hisstuff out, kisses. I did some little shit in the cartoon, nothing much, but nevermind that, the cartoon is amazing!
