Totally forgot to post about this. New comic update! https://www.pv02comic.com/

iu_35976_5719644.png


Meanwhile, Hiro 2's core animation is done. Need to do backgrounds, audio compiling, and lipsynching, and then some spit and polish and it'll be good to go!!


Also, if you're not yet, you should give me a follow on Twitter. https://twitter.com/Zedrinbot Find out when I'm streaming and stuff.

It's the 2 week mark, so there's a new comic update! https://www.pv02comic.com/

iu_32911_5719644.png


Meanwhile Hiro the Dense 2 is on its way! Most of the base animation's one and (after like 6 months of animating and working on it) I finally have the lines finalized for the intro, so now I have my VAs recording for it!


I'm very happy with the script. As usual I stream on Saturdays to Youtube if you want to see work in progress: https://www.youtube.com/zombiezephyr


iu_32912_5719644.jpg


This has been a big milestone week for me as well. Hit the 10k and 20k follower milestones on my sfw and nsfw twitters respectively.


I feel like I also ought to start a new big NSFW project but I don't want to force any ideas. I've already got a lot on my plate however.

New comic update! https://www.pv02comic.com/


iu_29911_5719644.png


In other news, I got a new tablet! I received it for review purposes, and I'm liking it a lot, enough that I actually replaced my Intuos 4 XL. It's a Gaomon PD 1560. I'll have a video going up on Youtube for it, probably by the end of this week.


Everything else is pretty much the same as last time: still working on Hiro 2, being careful to not bring back my RSI, etc.

Haven't posted in a while. Let's change that.


I hit a major slow point art wise due to an RSI in my wrist. Every now and then it flares up, but it's made it hard for me to keep up art wise. To compound things, I also had an influx of events that have kept me very busy the past few weeks.


There's finally more stuff coming from me down the road. That said I dunno if I'll ever be at the same speed I was a year or two ago. Not really much you can do though.


My comic's had 3 updates since last I posted, you can read em starting here:

https://www.pv02comic.com/comic/page107/

iu_27402_5719644.png


Hiro the Dense 2 is still slowly but surely making progress. Still have to contact my VAs for lines. The base animations for scenes 2, 3, and most of 4 are done. I need to finish up 1 and 4, do scene 5, do backgrounds for all 5 scenes, and do the lipsynch / detail work for each scene. (Not as much work as it sounds, since lipsynching is a specialty for me and the detail work is usually pretty simple for Hiro the Dense, it's mostly dialog bounce.)


It's starting to get hot here in AZ again which suuuuucks. You can tell I've also run out of things to say because I'm talking about the weather.


So that concludes this journal entry make sure to like the entry comment the entry and subscribe if you wanna see entries similar to this one, seeya.

First things first, PV02 has another comic update!

You can read it here: https://www.pv02comic.com/

iu_16401_5719644.png


I'm still kinda at an impasse project-wise. I don't know exactly what I'll work on next for my NSFW project. For SFW, I still have Hiro the Dense 2 to work on, and have been dragging my feet with the critique video. Woo.


Also kinda had art block for the past few days.


Also over on my Patreon a lot of people recently hit their milestone rewards, so I've been getting through those.

Thank you all who liked Curly Brace: Hacked 2! I'm rather fond of the style change in it, just cause it emulates the style of the game more closely.


Some things I've realized (or re-realized. I already knew this stuff. Why didn't I follow it???): if you're doing a single continuous scene in Toon Boom, don't try to get fancy with doing loops externally, and don't separate it into cutoff points. Just make it one big file, and loop things manually. Yeah, Hacked 2 would've been about 6000 frames, instead of 5 scenes that were at most 300 frames that looped in AE, but I would've had way more minute control over things, and it would've been easier to edit and fix parts. Plus I wouldn't need looping markers.


The biggest change I'd've made however probably would've been to zoom in more, or do a few cuts to more intimate angles. One big advantage of the first one was it was done from a webcam perspective, which meant it was close and front-on. I wanted a 3Q angle for the climax scene.


Granted, part of why I didn't do multiple angles was cause I wanted to get this done quickly--just two months after releasing the Shantae animation, which had taken me a whole year. The prior one had taken like 4 months or so. That's pretty impressive to me time-wise, to be honest.

Haven't posted here in a while. BUT ANYWAY


Project updates:

Hiro the Dense 2 is underway. Animatic is done, and I have a workflow for animating the full thing in Toonboom without resorting to numerous scene files. As before, when it's ready, Patrons get early access, then it'll be viewaable here on Newgrounds a day before it goes live on Youtube.


Curly Brace: Hacked 2 is done with animation, and is in the compositing stage. Shouldn't be long before it's done. I'm very happy with it so far. (As before, since it's adult, it'll be Newgrounds exclusive after its patreon early access.)


My critique video has been rewritten to its third draft and I'm finally satisfied with it. Need to finish recording for it, but I've managed to get its time down to just what's essential. There's enough content out there on how to take critique, but not a lot on what makes a critique good.


Last week was incredibly busy for me so I didn't get to work much on any art or projects.


BUT there is a new PV02 comic update! You can view it here: https://www.pv02comic.com/

My newest comic page is up! https://www.pv02comic.com/

I haven't mentioned it here much, but I run a webcomic about Pivot (which is also where Override is from). It updates every other week.

In other news, I've got 2 sequels in the works, 1 nsfw and 1 sfw. Both are sequels of my respectively most popular projects :V

Newgrounds has had a lot of new additions lately, especially given the influx of new artists. A lot of friends have come here, and I've seen my follower count shoot up as people are finding me here now too.

Iz great.

I've mentioned this before, but some art friends have been a bit surprised by how Newgrounds is. One thing I've expressed to peers coming here is that Newgrounds is a gallery-oriented site, not a social media-oriented one. It's fundamentally different from places like Tumblr, Twitter, etc., and is closer to things like Pixiv and Deviantart, and that's by design, not accident. I've seen some people say they'd want to see a complete site overhaul so it'd be more like a blogging platform, which I don't think would be good. It shouldn't completely redesign itself to be a social platform and sacrifice its identity. (Plus it literally just had a redesign a few months ago.)

That all considered though, it can take a few cues to implement some new features that benefit creators without fundamentally changing itself. Already a few changes have been made which has been great. There's a few things that I want to see as well that I feel would work well on Newgrounds:

  • Photosets - This is my biggest 'want.' For some reason this kind of option is popular more with places like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, which has been weird to me as it's the most 'gallery' like feature they usually have. And weirder still, Pixiv afaik is the only gallery site that utilizes it. The ability to upload multiple photos to a single art post on Newgrounds would be a huge advantage--this opens up to art sequences, variations, alternative comic styles, and more, without spamming the art portal or hiding things in the dumping grounds.
  • Gallery Folders or organizational tags - I've always really liked how Newgrounds has your works sorted by year, so I'd want this preserved. But, I'd also like the option to put folders in the art gallery, just for organizational purposes.
    • Or alternatively, maybe organizational tags. Tags you use or select would show up on the side when viewing your gallery, and clicking one would only display content that has that tag. I was gonna say these could be separate from gallery tags, but with the tag expansion they could just use the standard ones.
  • A more casual comment system - At the moment, the only way to comment on a video or art piece is to leave a review, which you can only leave one of, which kinda makes it hard to discuss works back and forth. It'd be nice if there was kinda like a small, separate comment section in addition to reviews where people could comment freely, while keeping reviews front and center. (Thinking on it, there might be a reason something like this doesn't exist, but I'm not aware of specifcally what it is. I still feel like it has merits still that outweigh potential negatives.)
  • Some way for users to share others' works - Taking a cue from more mainstream social media, things like retweets and shares result in a lot of exposure for an artist. They also allow for content-aggregator type users to share and curate works without reuploading them. The curator is able to partake in art communities even if they don't have much drawing ability (in ways other than critique or commission), and it's in a productive, symbiotic manner, so long as they abide by the community's guidelines. (FB and Twitter in particular do have issues with reuploads, but that more comes from their nature as social-media specific platforms, the impulsive nature the sites encourage, and that most of their moderation is done by robots.)
    Currently, favorites exist on Newgrounds, but they only appear on your page--they're strictly for your reference, not so much anyone else's.
    • One option is if there was a toggle when you follow someone so you could see what they favorite as well. Their favorites would show up as actual posts in your feed. (This is kinda what Deviantart has.) This let's you follow someone cause they find content that you want to see.
    • Alternatively and more ambitiously, maybe if there was something like a special feed, either individual or a kind of group one that one or more people could manage and curate. People could follow this feed separate from  (or in addition to) its the curators and its contents would appear in their own feed. The curators would be able to embed content, be it their own or from other users, and since it's embedded, it'd go directly to the original creator's upload instead of duplicating it. This hypothetically could also handle content from the dumping grounds, which would allow people to take advantage of it a bit more often. (This isn't something I'd really expect to be implemented cause it's kinda complex and probably wouldn't be realistic to put in at the moment.)
  • Drafts and Scheduled posts - Pretty simple, just a way to save WIP journal entries or media posts, or to set a timer for when posts will go public. This would be super useful for videos in particular, especially in cases where you might have early access on something like Patreon.

The Shantae monstergirl animation(s) I've been working on for a very long time are finally done!

There are two versions: a regular one, and a futa one where Rotty has a dick. Both versions contain 4 scenes + forms.

As it's NSFW I'm not gonna stick any images of it in this journal entry, but I've posted some previews over on my Twitter: https://twitter.com/zedrinbutt

Patrons can view it early over on my patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/posts/23270818

For non-patrons, I'll have both versions uploaded here on Newgrounds come Christmas!
