I've been interested in animation for longer than I can remember. I'm mostly self taught, and seem to be improving with everything I release. I hope to one day further my skills. I love making cartoons.

Okay, so October didn't go as I had planned. I was working on Hallo's Ween, and I got a good bit of progress done on it, but there was no way I was getting it done in time for Halloween, with quality that I can be proud of. I did release the teaser though, and I have decided to hold off on submitting Hallo's Ween until next Halloween. In addition to the teaser, I started work on a Halloween short to try and get something presentable out for Halloween, but because of several things, that didn't quite work. I did finish that short though, and it's now up, so be sure to watch The Pumpkin Patch. And since I'm trying to upload 1 thing a month, that technically counts as my November submission. Speaking of November, I was going to try to make some sort of Skyrim thing for this month to celebrate 2 years since Skyrim was released, but yeah, that's more than likely not happening. I kinda have some ideas for a Thanks Giving themed animation, but I really don't have anything else planned for this month.
Since I decided to upload 1 thing a month (which was in June I think) I've done a pretty good job of sticking to that.
Monthly Submissions:
April: FrogMan and Pico SCENE 1
May: Cinco de Gayo
June: Pikmin Tree
July: Zelda- Mole Mitts
August: Starshit DX
September: End of Summer; End of All
October: Hallo's Ween TEASER
November: The Pumpkin Patch
There was also some stuff uploaded in February and March, but I'm not counting them cause they're not really good, heh.

Now then, plans for the rest of the year. I don't plan on having anything animated for this month, mostly because I want to try to work on the sequel to CSI: Crybabies, which is a short film I did with Alex last year. The sequel will more than likely be 3 times longer so it's going to need more than 2 days put into it. I do have an animation planned for Christmas, so there's that to look forward to. There might also be a video game parody coming before the end of the year, depending on how everything works out. Also, I made a short for the Fucked up Date Collab which unfortunately isn't out yet, but things are wrapping up so hopefully it's out this month.

That's pretty much it for now. I'll make another update in December, or when something important happens.

I started working on "End of Summer; End of All" back near the end of July, and it's finally up, so be sure to check it out and tell me what you think. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/625821

I also have other stuff in the works right now. I'm currently animating a part for the Fucked Up Date Collab After that's finished, I'm starting on my Halloween animation, which from the 2 ideas I have, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Either way, I'm going to end up having to some how make a 7+ minute animation in a little more than a month.
I've been trying to submit one new thing a month, and I've been successful with that since April. I also have something planned for November, and a Christmas animation in December. So lots of stuff to look forward to!

I suppose I should make another news post, and maybe someone will actually read it :3.

So yeah, I've actually submitted two animations this month, which is somewhat of a record for me now I guess.
The first one was Pikmin Tree. Unfortunately it was under judgement for too long and got screwed over for the daily awards, it also got barely any exposure because of this. I can assure you that it is really good though, and I put a lot of work into it so you guys should totally check it out.
The second was Zelda- Mole Mitts which was actually submitted recently. I'm not sure how long it was under judgement, but hopefully it wasn't under too long and actually makes it to the top 10 today. I put a lot of work into this one and it's actually funny, so be sure to check it out.
Yeah, nothing but video game stuff this month :/

If you're up to watching a more "adult" animation, well then check out Cinco de Gayo, it's pretty funny if you're into that kind of stuff, and it also didn't get a lot of exposure because of being under judgement for so long. It seems like this is happening a lot lately.

Also, I have some live action stuff from several months ago. I'm not going to upload them here for obvious reasons, but I'll link them in this news post cause hey, someone reading might find them entertaining.
CSI: Crybabies is a short film that Alex and I made in under 48 hours. It was fun to make and a sequel might even be coming.
Criticizing TV Episode One is the first episode of my review show series that has been in the works since 2010 in which we review the first episode of Brickleberry. If you're into review shows with a story to them, then hey, it might be entertaining to you.

Well that's pretty much it for this news post. I'm not sure when I'll make a new one. Thanks for reading everyone!

Hey everyone, I'm artistunknown, previously artistuknown but I finally Pm'd Wade about the typo in my name, lol, so thanks to him for changing that. Anyways, I've been on Newgrounds for almost 5 years, actually I've been coming here since 2004, but I signed up in 2008, and I started submitting content in 2009 (all of that got blammed though, heh). Anyways, I've improved a lot since then and am actually a pretty good animator now. You should check out some of my stuff.

So, I have an ongoing series that I started in 2010, and it hasn't had an episode in over a year because of some technical issues that always seem to happen to me when I work on an episode. But yeah, that series is FrogMan the Series and it's pretty good, and the 5th episode is actually pretty decently animated! I'd recommend checking it out if you like comedy and frogs :3

In addition to my series I've also made some shorts. Frogs of the Round Table is pretty good, it's like almost 4 minutes long and is a remake of a 2009 POS, and it's the first thing of mine I actually considered animated.

Cinco de Gayo is my most recent. It's a bit NSFW but the animation is good and there's some humor in it, or so I've been told anyways. It unfortunately got screwed out of the daily awards because it was underjudgement for too long, so it didn't get a lot of exposure. Please watch this one, it needs more views D:

And this thing got me a daily award and was on the front page, so that's cool.

There's some other stuff too but it's not really worth mentioning, you could just check my movies if you want.

So yeah, I'm an animator, I've been "studying" and experimenting with animation since 2007, but I didn't really start doing frame by frame animation until last year, though I have come a long way since I began. I'm still learning but I know some day I'll be good. I even participated in the open round of NATA this year, but unfortunately I couldn't finish my entry because of a computer crash (ain't that the story of my life?). I'll attempt it again next year though. Oh, and I do plan to finish up my open round NATA entry, as soon as I can get my hands on the file of course.

I also draw stuff. Nothing on my art page is good, but it's still pretty decent stuff. I haven't uploaded any of my hand drawn stuff because I don't have a scanner and my camera sucks, but I can assure you that my hand drawn stuff is pretty good.

So yeah, that's pretty much it about me and what I've done to contribute to newgrounds. I mean, I also write lengthy reviews sometimes but that's a pain and I don't really feel like writing reviews too often. I have been more active in the community over the past year, and hopefully my name will become known.

Oh, and I'm a sellout cause my next animation is video game related :3
So for reading this wall of text, here's a "preview" of it: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/713ec42763a7 40e652e3d93be00f7f82

So yeah, thanks for reading my first news post everyone, and I hope to please you all with my future projects.
