How I Came Back to Animating

Posted by PinkSkull - June 12th, 2011


This is the story of how I came back to animating after a long lost hiatus.

The year was 2009 and I had just invented a new project (that I have now cancelled) because I had just finished an old one, I hardly even finished the first part. Because from the summer of that year until recently I went to a huge artist block, and I mean huge, I really don't remember much of my artistic life by that time but I didn't invent any new character and I barely doodled, let alone animating, my computer kind of forgot flash existed, but I knew I'd be back, someday.

So on the summer of 2010 the artist block started to clear a little bit up, and I came up with Fobosand Deimos to keep myself distracted, entertained, but still, it wasn't enough, I forced my self to do some animation and opened flash again, but I didn't feel like doing it.

And the I watched a Riot Games Summoner Showcase (for joining League of Legends click here). And I must confess, I had the idea of making a videogame parody for a while, you know, for the quick easy page views, but Zelda and Mario had been so overdone, maybe this was my chance! I'd animate a quick LoL parody and appear on the Summoner Showcase ! (I still haven't been featured there ktnx). And what really encouraged me was all the support I got when I asked for voice actors. Since then it just has been going upwards. I may not have appeared on the Summoner Showcase but I was on Tom's post, and well, I knew more people on this awesome community. And I have been doing short, deadline stuff like the TOFA, I think I just joined the sketch collab, and I have even been helping with voice acting.

Now I have more stuff submitted than any of my previous years (ok, two are from voice acting and one is crap, but still), and it's just mid year and I do feel like animating. More will come up.

So thanks again Newgrounds for being my real internet home, and if anyone out there is going through a tough artist block, whatever the trigger is, don't desperate, things will get better!

Also I've been planning on doing something well, a little stupid, posting in here every week or so one of my made-up characters, just to give them some exposure out of my head, even tho they don't have anything else but doodles, what do you think? you won't copy my ideas would you?
