Wow it's been a week of firsts for me.

1st post on the front page of newgrounds. An ability I had just acheived.

1st animation to exceed a score of 4, which then dropped to 3.98, but might rise back up again, I can only hope.

1st animation to win daily top 5 on newgrounds. I got a little trophy on my account that I am DAMN FUCKING PROUD OF.

1st animation submitted that exceeded 2 minutes AND done in the smallest amount of time (5 weeks) due to what has been described as 'good tweening.'

1st animation to contain gore or violence or any other halloween theme: The first of many.

1st halloween away from home in the college dorms.

EDIT 11/3/09: Another big first: 1st animation featured on Newgrounds front page. Thank you NG Staff!

Eventful week!

If you were scanning the frontpage posts and came across mine, and happened to not check out Lychgate, my Halloween 2009 submission, I ask you check it out and tell me what you think of it. I'm all ears. Or eyes for that matter. I hope you enjoy it. In terms of the competition it seems I'm at a steady 13th or 12th place, which I think is really good on account of the other high quality submissions. Who knows what will happen in a week.

Congrats and thanks to my 2 animating friends Ixintro and Tim Knopf, both of whose movies you need to see now if you haven't gotten to it.

Another thanks to Heroin Slug for the beautiful sounds.

In my next movies I'll be having a VAST majority of the content be frame-by-frame. Tweens are nice but they make me look lazy I think. I'd only do them when they're necessary or the deadline is coming close.

Okay so happy Halloween Newgrounds!

Hoorah!
