Welcome one and all, to my Animation Nation.
I used to animate a lot, but recently; (I got a PS3), things came up and all my artsy shit got fucked up the ass and I didn't touch flash for around 6 months, except to make a hilarious HULK flash. I have been itching to get back into the flash scene lately so I broke out my tablet and drew some shit up punk-ass style.
I have a number of projects under-way at the moment, and my lack of internet allows me to spend lots of time on these (Writing this blog at an internet cafe).

Project 1: Free Falling Whale
A remake of a flash short I made YONKS ago, it's pretty much a blue whale committing suicide off a skyscraper; this is all to the song Free Falling, by Tom Petty. The last time I made it the whole thing was very sloppy and drawn completely with a mouse. Luckily I now have a spiffy tablet so I can master the Whale.
The second part of this was to make a Free Falling Whale GAME! Like a diving competition where you get scores based on tricks. Or maybe you keep falling and avoid obstacles. I haven't decided yet. :P



Project 2: Power of Three Game
A recent Newgrounds.com competition has gotten me thinking. You form a team of three, an animator/artist, a programmer and a musician. And you have to collaborate a flash project with the number 3 being the central idea. We were planning on making a side scrolling action platformer type thing. More on this as it progresses.
