Hope you guys enjoy. Had to be school appropriate, so expect that going in.

Pulling a little confirmation that I'm still working on this project. Deadline's Wednesday the 18th, so I've got a little under 10 days to complete it. I do intend to meet that deadline pretty smoothly. In fact, if I stick to my timeframe, I should be done with the thing this Wednesday, and have the next week to polish some stuff up, add in some sounds, extra effects, whatever I can to impress the board.

This feels more like a pilot animation now than anything, and because of the deadline, I've had to cut out a lot of stuff that I thought would make it longer/funnier, but that's life for you. Regardless, I really like how it's come out so far, and am hoping that the Newgrounds community'll feel the same when that time arrives. Below's another screenie for you.

I've been working on and off on this for some time now, but have neglected to tell the Newgrounds community about it under my own preference. One of my high school graduation requirements here is to do a big project on a career. Naturally, I'm doing mine on an animator/animation artist. After writing a god-awfully long paper, (which I'm done with now, thank the lord) I have to finish it off with a tangible project, which is an animation. Now I can completely guarantee this will be finished by late April and be out by the summer purely on the grounds that if I don't complete it, I don't pass. Quite a nice bit of incentive for you.

I really can't say a lot about the project itself, but i'll throw a screenshot your way so you can get a general idea of the style. It's my first completely original project, should be five or so minutes long, and will be entirely voiced by myself. Wish me luck:

This is confirmation to a Mr. Elmopimp35 that a post on Youtube was actually me?

Hello all. Madness Mini's F. In case no one knows what that means, it means I've basically done nothing on it. I haven't really had the chance to get on my profile to update progress or anything. Sorry. For anyone who doesn't already have one, don't get an IRL. It's like a pet; it always wants stuff from you and occasionally pisses all over your carpet.

So that's it. Feel free to flame and whatever. I'll get around to doing something progressive when I have some time off.

EDIT: Also 3 years on Newgrounds. I'm amazed.

:O !!

I'd just like to let everyone know that i've begun animation/concept art for a new series. After what happened to my computer, i'm taking a hiatus from Madness for a while. That's right, i'm taking a hiatus.

Don't expect the pilot animation to be out for some time, but I just wanted to let everyone know that regardless of what happened, I am still animating. I may release screenshots as the animation progresses, or just totally surprise everyone one day. Still haven't decided which.

It's been so fucking long since i've had a clear enough connection to actually get online. Allow me to save the cuture shock from arising later, and say that all of my work on Madness Mini 6, Madness: Pie 3, and quite a few side projects have been deleted.

About a month ago, my computer began having issues with loading parameters, someting i have absolutely no knowledge or expertise in. I brushed it off as asimple error, among the many others my computer has. Allow me to say right now, that My computer is an HP. So, around four days later, I decided to work a little bit on Madness: Pie 3. I went to open my animations folder, where I keep every project I work on, only to recieve, instead of the window holding years with of work, a popup reading "Invalid Link parameters. File could not be found." I'm pretty sure i lost about half my head of hair after reading that, but I always over react at first glance, and i always find a solution afterwards. After calming myself down, I decide to look this problem up on the internet. I went to open my internet connectiuon program, and what to expect, but the same popup, with the same "Inval parameters" message. I'm a little pissed, and kind of worried at this point. I hastily try to move into my animations folder via "My Computer", but alas, the file could not be found. Files, actually. That's a plural.

I ask everyone I know; no one has a ding damn idea what the fuck is going on. HP's got a help desk, which would almost certainly know what kind of underhanded asscrack seeped it's way into my hard drive. I called them up, and get a nice, happy "Welcome to Hewlett Packard Customer service, how may I help you?" I kindly explain my problem, detail by detail. "I'm going to elevate you to level 2 tech support." The nice lady said - Nothing unexpected, the underlings at the level one tech support desk only work on total retards, or generally dumb and easily fixable issues. I hold for about four minutes, when another character, obviously a level 2 techie, comes on the line. i get greeted by the same cheery welcome, and I explain again what's up with my computer. "I'll search that up right now, sir." he says. I'm hoping he has the answer, and I can get my fucking files back. He asks me to read off the serial code and shit. I read it all off, and, most likely with the answer right on his fucking screen, replies with a "I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid i can't help you." I blink a few times, and then kindly respond "Why?" He responds "The warranty on your computer has already expired." Hand to my chin, I respond again, "Warrany is for repairs on the computer itself, not on customer support." He sighs for a second, and then gives me "Toshiba's Customer service is supplied in the warranty. I cannot help you, unless you purchase a new warranty. If you would like, i can offer you a - " I set the phone down right there. All he was going to do now was offer me shit I couldn't afford. I'm surprised at this point I hadn't begun cussing the fuck out of him. Years woth of animations hung in the balance of this company's lust for money over customer service. I kindly decline and hang up, all the while gritting my teeth, and go back to my computer, which had been off the whole time. I turn it on, and it blue screens before it canget to the windows startup page.

Long story short, Windows is trashed. Files, gone. I didn't have time to back up, nor did I have a backup device to use. A lot of important projects for school and stuff was deleted as well, so it just goes to show you how important computers are to IRL.

tl;dr, computer's trashed, HP's a useless wanker. Sorry to fans, but I've totally lost any inititive to animate any of those projects. I may begin again sometime, but having a project that you were 83% completed on deleted in one day really messes with your motivation.

Whoops, that delete button is totally in-your-face. Sorry to everyone who previously posted.

Anyway, same old garbage; I'm not dead, i've just been procrastinating a whole lot, and thus haven't had much to talk about. I'm beginning to get back into the swing of animating after my long post-Madness Mini 5 hibernation, and bringing in the new year with the much anticipated Madness: pie 3.

I've also been, under spare time, experimenting with a few new styles of animation that i'm hoping to implement into a brand new series once the madness parodies come to an end. (Yes, it's inevitable.) Keep watch, but not too hard. I've been known to make release promises and not keep them. ;)

Right, Madness: Pie 3:

Oh shit. Shrinkz Studios finally got a top-level domain. It redirects, but it can now be accessed at http://www.shrinkzstudios.net. Check it out. It's really hot.

In other news, my Birfday was on the fourth. I had to throw that out there.

And finally, i'm going to make some new stuff for my page. (Header, Picture, Icon). If anyone has any ideas, feel free to comment. The imagination well is a little dry right now.

God, when's the last time I leveled up? I don't care much about rank, but that swiss army knife was seriously starting to piss me off. I can deal with a busted bottle.

A few (few. not a lot.) of you probably noticed that my music is gone. Yeah, I tore through that, after learning that the maximum score i had was a 2.12. I wasn't very good at making it anyway, so I removed them. Newgrounds deserves way better.

On yet another note, Madness: Pie 3 is currenly in development. When it'll be done, I don't know. A general timeframe for when it'll be done, I don't know. What quarter of what year it'll be done, I don't know. Just wanted to give you all a heads-up.

As always, be sure to visit Shrinkz Studios for all my updates. Seriously, people. The unique pageviews for the site have been epically sad lately.
