Well, the competition is over!

The stats are looking good, after many many hours of playing Tap Tap Revenge 3, it is over.

I am technically in 2nd, but due to hacks I am in 3rd.

Tapulous is reviewing scores to determine winners. . . wish me luck!

Lots of stuff going on lately. Ugh, I wish I could FPP, but I gotta wait on that one.

1. I've been selected along with 2 other artists to design a special theme for Tap Tap Revenge 2.5 (Most popular game on iPhone/iPod Touch). The theme is being designed for the band Conditions, winner of Tap Tap Idol.

2. Hey! Today is my birthday! :)
Happy Birthday to me (16)
Happy Father's Day!
Happy first day of summer!

3. The art portal is very enjoyable. I have uploaded a bunch of stuff, feel free to review/rate. It would be so nice if there was an option to receive updates from Favourited Authors. . . :(

Have a wonderful summer everyone! Wish me luck with my theme!

So Tom has announced a new summer event, called the Power of Three.

I have started up a team, with Mr-Money, and UncleSqueezins. Mr-Money and I developed Mario Movie Maker 4, which is soon to hit 1,000,000 views (not all from newgrounds). He's a programmer, and I am an artist.

I am very excited for this contest.

Congrats to UncleSqueezins, who will be our featured Audio Artist for this project!

Below is some concept art. I don't know what exactly it is, but I just sketched it at lunch.

I am proud to announce that in a few more weeks, I will be launching a weekly series of "short stories".

These are 1 - 2 sentence stories, which I animate, and it gets aired during commercials on National TV on Saturdays.

eg.
"Once there was a toaster, he was sad so someone put toast in him. The End"

I have had 2 aired a while ago, but now I am making an official series, hopefully to be aired every Saturday. This is National, so it is only in Canada :)

I will post an episode soon for everyone to check out!

Here is a bunch of shots (see, it's short!) of my first episode!

As we all know, Valentines Day is just around the corner. It is also time for another art contest, which I actually submitted to!

Below is my submission. They started off as rocks with heads, turned into birds, then birds with tails. I spent 2 days working on it, and it turned out very well :)

Feel free to rate if you want!

A while ago Mr-Money asked me if I would like to help design this program he was making. I spent a few weeks on this, giving it graphic make-overs and making some backgrounds and grabbing some sprites.

The work has finally paid off, the program is great!

Be sure to make a video and host it on our Online Portal :D

ENJOY!

Newgrounds Aura Picker

I was making a script for the Newgrounds Level Collab, and got bored. . .so I designed the Aura Picker.

It loads the level from Newgrounds, with easy picking tools.

1. Enter a Level
2. Choose an Aura
3. Load it!

I might expand on the idea and make it something bigger, but I don't know what to do :P
Enjoy!

Each day features a drawing having to do with newgrounds characters, I spent a long time on it, I just wish I did it sooner!

Finally finished! It took for ever to do, sorry it's so late :P

I will make another next year, which will come out on time XD

Enjoy it! Happy Holidays!
