episode 2, bitches ranted on July the 1st

Its out, oh god finally its out. So sorry about all the delays, but back and forth on some final dialogue audio and my new freelance project and other excellent important sounding excuses are to blame :P

Get it from a multitude of places:

Yeah so I am currently doing some freelance flash work for a games company in london, and that is CRAZY BUSY DEADLINE at the moment, and commuting is horrendous. Then its my birthday on the 6th, and that will hopefully be happy smiley day off of work and fun times and presents and fings ^_____^

showing tells ranted on May the 24th

Ooh nifty, I quite like DeviantArt’s ’share’ option then, if it lets me do clever things like this! So yes, work on Episode 2 continues apace and I like to show bits and pieces of it so it doesnt seem so much like a mythical promise of an animation!

This weekend I’m off to Rachel’s in Liverpool as its her birthday, but hopefully when I get back its the finishing run on the episode with audio and flash nonsense since mostly all the animation assets are complete. Also, looks like it’s getting an impromptu preview showing at a funky gig day, Dance Like on Saturday 26th May, in Chelmsford at The Golden Fleece. This is of course dependant on 3 things:

1. The DVD arrives on time via Royal Mail.
2. They actually decide to use and show it.
3. The planets and stars are aligned so both of the above happen in unison.

If it does get shown, its a DVD version of Episode One, with an Episode Two preview consisting of the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds! Exciting stuff, and of course I won’t be there to see it XD But hey, if any of you are in the area and want a funky day of mixed music and cool peoples, pop along!

the hell do you think i am?! ranted on May the 16th

Behold the Gurren Lagann inspired Waffle X mecha, Waffuru Havaar X1!!! Gurren Lagann is a new mecha anime from Gainax, the animation kings behind FLCL and much more. Its pretty nifty, thus inspirational mecha doodle-sketch! I don’t normally like mecha anime, especially if they end with philosophical psychobabble, but this is light hearted goofy explosive fun so give it a whirl.

Something that isn’t nifty is how i keep neglecting to update this site. I don’t want to field the usual excuses, but I guess I always get conflicted over whether I should treat this site as a personal blogging space or not, since I also use it as a portfolio to show prospective clients/employers. But I think I’ve finally decided to hell with being reserved and sporadic, if you hire me you’re gonna witness my awe-inspiring rambling at some point, so consider this site as a window to everything that I am and a toe dip into the shallow end of my madness.

I’ve been pretty busy for someone thats unemployed, with a job interview here and there and prospective projects on the horizon. I’ve also started seeing a scouser named Rachel, whom I’m sure I will now mention more now we are OPEN and HONEST with each other, right best buddy reader person?! Oshit, relationship?!??!!? This has involved me being a bit sickeningly mushy around friends, but it is okay internets! I can still enact my usual anarchic brand of bitterness and fury just for you.

Episode 2 of Waffle X is all but finished, animation-wise. Just the time consuming annoying bits like importing everything into Flash, lip-syncing and timing to do amidst the strange amount of birthdays people seem to be having at this time of year. Right, so more updates, and from now on they might get impossibly inane like “what I had for dinner today” and “dont you just hate bee’s?”.
