Internet Censorship

Since everyone else is saying something, I guess I better.  Our internet is being threatened by Congress.

See this link for details

If this law passes this blog, my youtube account, my DA account and many other sites that I enjoy could go down.  And internet safety will never be the same again.

Please help out and write to congress to tell them why this is a bad idea.

Freddy vs Batman First Encounter

I must be losing my mind.  I put this up October 1st and forgot to post it here.  Another finished clip from A Nightmare in Gotham City.

Nightmare in Gotham City Dream Demons

For those of you who have seen Nightmare on Elm Street part 6 (I wouldn't blame you if you haven't), you probably know about the Dream Demons who are the source of Freddy's power.  Well, they will be appearing in A Nightmare in Gotham City and they have been redesigned.  No longer do they look like dead fish with tiki masks, now... they look more like real serpents.  

Here's a quick video showing off their new appearance 

Sketch of the Main Cast

Keeping myself drawing, Stop-Motion doesn't exactly do that.  So here's something I've been sketching, the main cast of A Nightmare in Gotham City.

Sneak Peek at A Nightmare in Gotham City

We still have a long journey ahead of us, but heres a finished clip from A Nightmare in Gotham City.

Paper props

Once again, I'm working hard on a Nightmare in Gotham City.  In the meantime, here's some paper props from the movie.  Most of them are actual papers created by me to be printed out and scaled to use for action figures.  The last is a scaled down poster image of the Batman and Robin teaser.

Some Nightmare in Gotham City behind the scenes

Yeah, it's been a while since I put anything up.  Lots of things are happening in my life and I'm working real hard on a A Nightmare in Gotham City.  So here's some behind the scenes shots.  Here's we got the custom made Nancy Thompson (with some of her co-stars) and images of the Arkham Asylum set which is about to be shot on very soon.

Sorry for delays

I'm real sorry it's been such a long time since I posted much of anything.  I've been pretty busy working on A Nightmare in Gotham City as well as some other real life events.  But I'm hoping to start posting some behind the scenes stuff very soon.

Production

Well, I'm marking it... today is the first official day of A Nightmare in Gotham City production. Let's Roll.

Stop Motion

Yeah, I haven't updated in a while.  Trying to finish up the semester and haven't had much time to think about the blog.  But here's some news for you all, I've started to run some stop motion tests prepping for A Nightmare in Gotham City.  Here's one of Scarecrow.

First Nightmare Movie Teaser

It's here, the first official movie teaser for a Nightmare in Gotham City, the Freddy one anyway.  The laugh is by me, whose voicing Freddy (though it's not one of my best).  The hype is building, and we're less than one month away from starting production.  Just have to get through school and off we go.

Dino Guardian Page 10

After a bit of extra work and some winter depression, the next Dino Guardian page is finally done and out.

Check it out here:Link

Japan

I know there hasn't been much updates as of late, not much exciting has happened since the Dead News was finished (though I am nearly done with the next Dino Guardian page).

That being said, I am very disturbed with what I hear of Japan.  With each passing day, there is more and more talk of radiation leaks and people dying.  As a fan of Anime, manga, video games and even having friends connected to it, I have grown to respect Japan and even have thought of going someday.  All this news of radiation and people dying is really starting to get to me.  I can't stop thinking about what is going on.  I pray that this crisis ends very soon.

Nightmare Teaser 2

Well, now that the Dead News is done, it's time to rest for our big summer production, A Nightmare in Gotham City.  I just uploaded the second teaser to Deviant Art last night and I've got a lot of people getting hyped about it.  With all this hype, I hope I can do a good job on this fan film.

The Dead News

Third day of Spring Break and I finally did it... the Dead News is now complete.  Whew, what a work load... three months of hard work is now complete.  Enjoy.

Spring Break

Spring Break is next week (and yet it is still not actually spring).  I haven't been all that well over the past few days and lost some time, but I'm going to push and finish the Dead News over the break (if not shortly afterwards).  I've also been a bit angry with myself for not getting the next Dino Guardian page lately.  I've finished drawing and inking it, but I haven't scanned it in.  But hopefully I should get stuff moving next week.

Working Hard

Much to my surprise, the preview of the Dead News spurred up a lot of excitement.  So to please everyone, I'm moving full throttle on it to get it done.  I've now reached the over a minute a scene that leads us to the climax.  Up above is snapshot of the scene being animated in Anime Studio Pro 6.  If it looks like some shadows are falling off the arms, it's because I haven't fixed the vectors yet.  I have finished recording all the lines, I have to finish a few more character models and gotta finish the last few scenes.  Then I should have this project in the bag.  Once this is done, I'll rest and recharge from animating, finish the script work out the plan and when May rolls around, I'll be ready to work on A Nightmare in Gotham City... TO VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Death Note

When I heard what was going on, I cried so hard.  Then I got mad... then I just had to find a way to get it off my chest.  Death Note is being remade into an american adaption... and I am not happy. One of my favorite comics, about to be torn apart by Hollywood's forever quest for more money.  It's news that made me so mad, that I had to take a break from animating the Dead News and warn the people of this horrible event that is to come.

Oh my

Well this is certainly a surprise, this guy over at the Boots and Oil blog liked my preview of the Dead News so much that he embedded it on his blog.  I feel honored, this is the first time somebody else has put one of my videos on there site.

My Poor Little Dinobot

If you don't me, I love collecting toys and one of my favorite kind to collect is Transformers.  Last night while everyone was watching the Superbowl, I was trying to nurse an old friend back.  My Beast Wars Dinobot, my favorite Transformer is starting to die.  This has been a toy I've played with since childhood, though not this copy.  I had an older copy that lasted me all through childhood, I'd play with in the sandbox when I was seven along with Waspinator.  That one broke and I got this new one. It has sat on my bed table, keeping me company for four years now.  Now he seems to be suffering Gold Plastic Sydrome (look it up on the Transformers wiki) and parts of him are starting to break off (there kinda holding on here).  I'm getting a new custom Dinobot (that's more show accurate) very soon, but I really want to try and save this guy to last me to the grave... I mean he's an old friend from childhood.

Teaser

Well ladies and gentlemen, here it is.  The first teaser of A Nightmare in Gotham City.  It'll be a stop motion movie possibly running at about half-hour... forty five minutes... something like that.  The plot is Freddy Krueger has returned after his "death" in Nightmare part six and has come to Gotham City, hoping to gain fear and power.  Making a pact with the Scarecrow, the two tear through Gotham's streets... eventually resulting in the whole city being torn apart from a fear of sleeping.  There is but one person that threatens Freddy's plan... the Batman.  However, in order to combat Freddy, Batman must learn to fight in the dream world... on Freddy's playing ground.

Production will start in the summer and it should be out in the fall.  Hopefully in time for Halloween, won't that be something.  Look for it on youtube and this blog.

Dino Guardian Page 9

Okay well, this has actually been up for a while and I'm just now posting it.  This is a "preview" of page 9 of my Dino Guardian comic located on Smackjeeves.com.

Journey of 1000 worlds

This here was school project, the project was create a TV show with yourself as a star.  Well, I felt it was a bit of an ego-centric project.  So I created a character that simply resembled me (don't judge) and made the rest.  The story is this guy is dragged into a number or worlds, teams up with a number of people, faces an evil organization and a mystery man.  I might actually make this into an animation... someday.

The Legacy of Metroid

Okay now for some artwork, okay here's a cult following of mine.  The Legacy of Metroid was done shortly after I started playing the Metroid series, which has become a favorite video game series for me.  One of my more complex pictures due to Samus fighting the most finely detailed villains in the galaxy.  You can look at it in my Deviant Art Gallery for a better look.

Mighty Morphing Democrat Rangers

The very first animation I ever made using Anime Studios (back then I was using Anime Studios 5, I've now gone to using Anime Studios 6 Pro).  This was based off an Uncyclopedia article I wrote a year ago (now kinda out of date).  It's been a bit controversial, but more popular than not.

Thirteen Ghosts and an Emotionless Emo

Well this will be the first animation to go up.  This was a special Halloween animation that I made in October of 2010.  I came up with this sketch at work and made it into an animation with two weeks.  It was a race against the clock due to Halloween coming soon.

Well, a not so original message, but to the point.  On this day at 10:25 pm, the New Art Zone Opens up
