Almost 3 years since my last flash submission to newgrounds. But I have always had little things going on in the background.

Right now I have 2 or 3 flashes that I want to continue. But "The Discworld" animation is the one I want to continue with the most. It will illustrate different places, characters and scenes from the books. ( Have you noticed theres not a single discworld animation/game on newgrounds? )
At present I have read:

- The Colour of Magic
- The Light Fantastic
- Equal Rites
- Mort
- Sourcery

and Wyrd Sisters , got about 10 pages to go on this one.

I have imagined how amazing it would be to see some of these scenes in animation, so I'm going to do one or two scenes from each of the above books and see how it turns out.
I want to take my time with this and make it look good and get the right feeling for it, hopefully if I work on it a bit everyday it could be done in 2 to 3 months.

I started this years ago, below is one of the rough drawings of the turtle and the world.

I miss all those shows they showed more often in the 90s and early 2000s, they were much better then the crap they show today.

Hey arnold ( Got some episodes recorded from the rare times they showed, not on DVD in UK )
Doug ( Never shows anymore but was the best show next to Hey arnold )
Dexters lab ( Shows sometimes still at 6AM but replaced by cramp twins now )
Weekenders ( Havent seen in years, still great show on Disney )
Pepperanne ( Its like barely anyone ever heard of this, episodes impossible to find )
Catdog ( Heard some people didnt like this show but I liked it )
Authur ( Probably still shows but on those baby channels like ceebies or something )

Theres probably more I dont remember but the above were the main ones I remember.

*Edit, nice video here with cheesy music that shows alot of shows I forgot about.

Missing all the old shows

God dammit I really want to make some flash movies like in the old days, I know they would also be 10 times better then the ones I got now. But everytime I start I just cant be bothered to carry something on.
This seems to be the way things are with almost everything even non-flash related.
No motivation these days.

I just closed my World of warcraft subscription to take a break, the games taking up too much time. It has been for the past few months but I decided to stop it today because I actually want to do some animations, websites and finish assignments for university earlier.

Now the only thing distracting me is the ineternet, youtube, digg, newgrounds forums etc but hopefully I will resist. Im finding it hard to concentrate on anything for enough time to get something decent done.
So hopefully I will setup some kind of portfolio site, do this shaman animation I been thinking about and start some kind of blog. When I do get important stuff like assignments done and out the way its a really good feeling. Same with animating or web design stuff; I actually feel like Ive accomplised something and I havent wasted my day.

Second post since redesign day :O

The new layout is very impressive, I was getting quite bored with newgrounds but I think the new design is going to encourage me to get back into making flash.
I guess ill pick up where I left off with my purple warrior series a year or so ago or make some shorts.
Gotta make a banner too for this cool new profile page.
