Some Voices

I did some voice acting in swiftstylerX's submission to the Newgrounds Madness Day competition. If you've got time, watch it here. For those who don't know, swift is the winner of the Fan Art contest here on the forums, and I haven't forgotten to feature his work (along with including all entries from all competitors) in the Fanstuff section.

Yesterday I sat down with my friend Jenna to practice recording for the Nat character from Racist Vampires! I'll be doing Percy's voice, and site-friend Andy Dennis will be playing JJ. I've also made some breakthroughs with backgrounds for the series, since I've been trying to develop something different than my traditional Blockhead approach. More on that soon.

Ill have an Audio Update up here very soon :) My voice is gone so I couldn't really pull it off today.

So What's Next?

What's next? WHAT'S NEXT? I'll TELL you what's next.

I've gotta get myself a new computer very soon, because the fossil I'm using now can barely support Flash anymore. That's alright for now because I've been busy doing practice artwork here and here. I've been wrapping up a few other projects too, and those are mostly out of the way.

Anyway, I've got a few more things to do until I can OFFICIALLY start Racist Vampires, not the least of which is to finalize a few style issues I've been dealing with and complete the storyboard. Unfortunately I developed a bach-ache from moving heavy furniture on my own for three days as I transitioned into my new house, so once that's cleared up, I can finish my concept work and get down to it!

I'll keep track of the Racist Vampires production and share that with you all by the next update!

New Music Added

I threw some music you may have heard before into the Downloads section. Some of it is from Time Squad, pieces I never bothered putting together outside of Flash. The other is Espada de Toledo, a song I wrote for a Newgrounds audio contest.

CURRENTLY, I am finishing the first Racist Vampires script. Really it's not going to be that big a deal, but I've been going over it again and again and again trying to determine whether or not it's "perfect" for the series.


I'm also co-op'ing on a game with Komix again, but you'll have to wait and see what it is when we're finished. It's not Blockhead-related though, but I'm still excited to have more games on the site at last! This one will be done soon.

BYE!

Blockhead: Episode 10

Not a hoax. Here it is. It's also on Newgrounds. Long live The Weevil!

Have you spotted any easter eggs in the episode? Go post in this topic on the forums if you've found something that you think no one else noticed ;)

I seriously need to be working on Racist Vampires now. :)

Progress Report

Audio update #3. Here I record a few voices that will appear in the actual episode, and give assurances that the episode's sure getting close to finished. Mmm hmm, I can taste it.

I finished "the hard part" of Blockhead 10, one of two things I dread doing in any cartoon. The one that remains is lipsynching, which shouldn't be too tough this time. I hope.

If you haven't seen King Santa's Fanart contest in the forum, go check it out. Be sure to vote for the entries you like the most so that artist can move on to the final rounds!

* UPDATE 8/12 *
Blockhead is really wearing me out and I don't want the episode to suffer because I'm burnt out, so I've had to slow the pace a bit. What's the rush, right? You guys did just see a new episode :D

Meanwhile, go check out a song I wrote called Espada de Toledo over on Newgrounds. Acoustic guitar by Rodrigo from Toonimated.com, choir vocals by me.

Back to Florida, Back to Work!

I just got back, I'm now getting cracking on Blockhead 10 with newfound enthusiasm.

Had a strange, fantastic weekend in San Diego where dreams happen and you somehow get drunk with the staff, artists, and game-makers from Newgrounds. Heaven save me, I'm totally surprised that everyone got along so well. Of all the pretentious, egotistical artists at Comic Con, none were to be found at the Newgrounds booth. Well, maybe some walked by. But we probably hated them.

Got to meet a lot of your favorites, including the Super Flash Bros (Tom and Dim have got the most optimistic personality of the whole lot), Krinkles (Matt was surprisingly not-insane, considering his Madness series), the Toonimated guys (well, maybe not ALL your favorites, HAHA), DrNeroCF of Fancy Pants Adventures fame (the Orlando Bloom lookalike you might have seen on the NG webcam, but not quite as handsome as yours truly), Luis, Rtil, and Tomorrow's Nobodies. Let's not forget Tom Fulp and his cast of cronies, who, I should stress, were some of the coolest guys I've ever met. Really, despite their being good at what they do, I think Tom actually hired them because of how easy it is to get along with them.

I half expected it to be a nerdfest, half expected the nervous tension to ruin the experience for all the newcomers. How did it all turn out so well?

That having been said, let's finish up with Blockhead 10, shall we?


Me, Tom Fulp, and Luis passing out fliers. Gangsta.
