Luis started one of his infamous collabs, this time around an art contest for Pico Day. Danomano was showing me his work and i ended up getting an idea, so i threw this together in about an hour. tell me what you guys think.

*self observation*

"yeah i gues all i did was a hans render of it. i should have acually redesigned and brought Hans to the max. i think i put more effort in rethinking the backgrounds than the actual character. i dunno i kinda started it off as a practical joke when i drew the tankman guy and then i actually started personalising when i continued on the backgrounds and turned out alltogether better than what i was expecting myself to do, leading to me now regreting i went too "traditional" for the character's look instead of personalizing it."

FOr a very long time all my favorites were inaccurate. from newgrounds submissions to favorite movies music games books blah blah blah.

I finally went through stuff and came up with what i can almost feel safe to consider are my favorites. Of course, it's always hard to specifically come up with your all time favorites of things, but i think it gives a good idea of my tastes in the state all my favorites are currently in. Go ahead and check them out if you wish.

As for the movies section i have 10 live action and 5 animation movies for the favorites. just in case you didn't notice.

You suck Mr. Fulp... why'd you rape those poor men? :(

don't believe me guys? go here.

Hey everyone,

I had made this short film in Scotland last summer (2007) that I am really proud of. I think, given the circumstances, it turned out extremely well. The actors were just students in the summer course, except for Gus, the main character (who i think did a surprisingly well job), but it was his first try at something serious. Anyways the movie was written in 4 days, filmed in 3, and edited in one night.

It's a "B-horror movie" style thriller with some hints of dark comedy. And ended up being the winner of "Best Picture" and "Best Cinematography" of the International Summer School of Scotland Awards.

Now I want you to be the judge of it so watch it here.

Hi everyone.

First off, "Shorts To Wear Pants To" a collaboration lead by squeaky toad that i took part in has just been finished, you can watch it by clicking this word.

For those of you fans who are waiting for the next 3 parts following the series. I have good news. You don't have to wait so long for each of the 3 following parts because there will only be one more following part!

Yes, I'm cutting down the series. This may seem bad, but in reality what I'm doing is cutting it down to the core of the better material. I really thought the movie could use a good "chizzling". I for one, am not up for working on 20 minutes of Halo. But mainly, I'm dropping doing video game parodies, IAHT 2/2 and my part for TSAH3 are my last parodies. I have way too many of my own ideas i want to put in action. I had my share, did my own parodies, and i am more than satisfied, in short, I've had enough.

I know that this is going to be very saddening for many fans or people awaiting for a full-blown 20 minutes of halo fun. But take it as a positive, because instead of having 20 minutes of a few scattered laughs it'll be something like 8-10 minutes of basically only laughs!

Also, thank Squeaky Toad, who helped a lot on IAHT 1/2 on animating, who encouraged me and to actually make a 2nd and final establishment for the movie. I originally was just going to completely shut down. But he helped me realize it's never any good to just drop something where it stands and at least leave a closure to a project.

Finally, I hope that everyone understands me and doesn't get too pissed. Because I will blow peoples minds with the stuff i've got cooking for ending my parodies.... but especially, my own work.

With much love, and loads of...every thing.

Hey guys, i just made this in school today i thought it turned out interesting as short as it is. but check it out!

Dan Berry (creator of HALOMEN, and my personal favorite OFFICE SIDER series) and i have recently become good friends. He had NEWGROUNDED his account pictures and i thought it looked really cool, so he was cool enough to make one of my own for me.

Well,

Back when i was one day before submitting IAHT (It's a Halo Thing 1/4) I showed RubberNinja the animation basically complete. He liked it and told me I should contact Tom and Dim of the SuperFlashBros for TSAH3. I went over and sent them an email linking to IAHT on newgrounds right when I submitted it. Nothing came back in the mail so i kinda thought maybe they were full already anyways.

When I arrived to London for the meet I was walking up the steps and Tom was talking to me about Dim's project for TSAH3 and then he mentioned I was in it. I was surprised. Apparently I had been in it since shortly after i messaged them. I guess i just missed it or something.

Anyways, I was really excited about being a part of something like this on Newgrounds. And i decided to choose "The Storm" level on Halo 3. I was surprised it wasn't taken because to me it's like the epic moment of halo 3, the one you see in the trailers and are itching to play in the game. I also have only really played that level... no i don't have an xbox 360 and only recently got a small tv. and the only thing i got is an N64. but i got some friends with halo, and there are walk through's on You Tube. So yeah. I'm also redrawing a master chief model especially for TSAH3.

anyways just wanted to let people know.

below is my master chief so far. I'm still working on the feet, they currently resemble slippers:

Well, I just came back from the NG London Meet-up. And boy was that an experience. It involved a room made of ice, a bumper cars battle, comedy club, a bowling match, lots of talking, brain storming for projects, watching marcM movies over and over, Luis' Birthday, a phone call to Tom Fulp, fish & chips, and much much more.

The best part is, I recorded some good footage and probably will be making a movie of it along side my other projects.

Meeting Newgrounders in person was the best experience to me. Luis, and not to be a suck up, was such a nice guy, much better than I expected. I mean through our conversations online I thought he was going to be a complete asshole, the kind you just think "man why are they alive" kinda asshole. Nah, I'm just being stupid. Everything was just awesome from start to finish. No complaints. I'm definately saving up for the next one.
