Oh man, it has to have been at least a year since I've seriously come on this site, and it really looks like a lot has changed. But, as with the site, I, too, have changed.

I'm starting to really get into animation, and I even did my very first short - a Game Grumps Animated short you can visit here. My goal for it was to hit just 100 views. Just 100, and I've be absolutely floored. As of this post, it's amassed VERY close to 5,000 views, over 50 times my expectations, and it just sparked something in me.

In the short month that's followed, I've juggled around with some original ideas. I've futzed with I can't tell you how many audio programs, how many shitty royalty-free sites, how much time overall I've spent just trying to improve myself, and put out that next animation.

At this very moment, I've got two animations in the works. One is drawn very simply, and I've thrown almost half of it together in just a few short hours. It's running on an idea I got due to my recent, and very sudden, attack with appendicitis, and the surgery that resulted from it. It was nothing major, I'm doing fine [though, ask my bank account that same question and you won't get the same answer.. not having insurance and having surgery SUCKS] and everything is going well. It's just a quirky little thing that only has one line of dialogue, and I hope to have it out maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday. That video will mark my first original short on YouTube, my first ever short on Newgrounds [I hope], and my voice-acting debut.

The second is going to me a lot more intricately drawn, a lot more hyperactive, and will have a LOT more voice-acting by me. I'm hoping to have that one squeezed out before school starts early next month. ..holy shit, that's only two weeks away.

ANYHOO, I just hope people like it, and I hope I can make a name for myself for a little while. I'd love to make this my living, and.. who knows? Maybe I can meet the right people and get things going on a much larger scale.

Here's to the best, and to the future!
