No, I just thought since im leaving to visit family tomorrow morning and I wont be able to hop back onto the internet till sometime next week now would be as good a time as any to update this blog. So thats what im doing, and not even you can stop me!
So what have I been up too since I last blogged a few days ago? Well, I uploaded this little flash animation from 2005. Dont ask me now what its about or what the joke is, I dont remember, but I havent made anything like it since so I guess its sort of interesting.
Anyone who has known me since 2004 will also remember a web series I made over the span of a week called Bricks Are Fun. It was a silly little series where the joke was the idea that there was no joke. It sort of exploded on DeviantArt and had lots of spin offs and for a couple of weeks it was super popular. Looking back on it its probably the single most popular solo project I ever undertook, which is ironic since it was made incredibly lazily, with one episode made every afternoon over 8 days. Each one only took a couple of hours to throw together. After talking to a friend about old projects I noticed it was still getting traffic, from people I can only assume are looking for it out of nostalgia. For this reason I decided to get the series ready for upload to Youtube. Ive been tweaking the visuals slightly, so they are all uniform and dont hurt the eyes quite as much as they did back in 2005, with most of the gradients and photos gone in favor of flat shading. The animation itself however has been left untouched and is just as horrible as it ever was. It will however contain a new opening sequence as well as credits and copyright free music. You can see some screens below from episodes in progress. Ive chosen to keep the episode names the same, even tho some of them make no sense structurally, its all part of the fun I guess.
Episode 01: Bricks Are Fun
Episode 02: Bricks Are Flammable
Episode 03: Bricks Are Do Stuff
Episode 04: Bricks Are From Space
Episode 05: Bricks Are Fight Back
Episode 06: Bricks Are Cameo
I still have large amounts of Episode 06 that need to be finished, and then Episodes 07/08 to go and it should be all nicely wrapped up. Im hoping to get all the episodes finished while im away visiting family, and ill do the sound when I get back home and have access to the internet again.
Also on Monday I drew this chocolate teddy with its ear bitten off after a twitter discussion about eating chocolate bears even tho they are so cute.
And thats really it for this week again. Down the bottom you will find all of this weeks Tumblr pics, all from 2005 once again. So until I get home and have a lot to talk about again, as im sure I will. Adios.
