I haven't been working on much flash stuff lately, been real busy with my band and my music. I finished my segment for that Metal Gear collab, but I haven't gotten a word back from the collabs guys on whether it's good enough or not. If it's not good enough for them, I may expand it into an SRMGS full length flash; no reason letting that work go to waste.

In the meantime, I have written and planned out a new SRM flash, going back to the days before SRM Transformers. Just good old fashioned SRM and Cousin Mel, doing their thing. Expect that to be out before too long. I plan to do original music for it too.

I have an idea stewing in my head for a collab coming up - I'd base it around Maddox's Alphabet of Manliness. 26 letters, 26 authors. Tell me what you folks think.

Finally, my buddy Superlineman and I are working on a monumentally awful submission for Clock Day this year. Expect that to be pretty memorable, without a doubt.

Anyway, thanks to my dozens... no, severals of dozens of fans for watching, I'll be back making flash before you guys know it!

SRM in MGS

Posted by Battosai810 Apr. 9, 2008 @ 5:43 PM EDT

A little update on the status of the MGS collab. I finally got some ideas rolling, and I present you all with a screenshot from my segment in it. This is considering it gets in, which it may not. Limited space and all.
Also, didn't even get into the top 20 flashes of march with SRM Transformers 1 or 2. Oh well.
If the third one got some exposure it would have a chance, but I don't think enough people saw it to consider it for a monthly award.
Anyway, hope you all like this little snippet of the next cartoon.

MGS collab

Posted by Battosai810 Apr. 2, 2008 @ 2:08 PM EDT

JohnnyUtah recently announced a Metal Gear Solid collab - thing is, I rebought MGS3 literally 2 days before the announcement. If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
Anyway, on to the meat of this post - I'm going to put a submission into the collab. SRM Gear solid already has a rough character design and a few ideas ready, so expect that to come along soon. I think I'm good enough at flash to get a position in that collab; I'm still hitting myself over missing the Transformers collab a ways back!
Wish me luck on getting in!
PS - Review crew pick for SRM Transformers 3? Sweetness.

SRM Transformers 3 is here!!!

Posted by Battosai810 Mar. 26, 2008 @ 10:46 PM EDT

At long last, the conclusion to my SRM Transformers trilogy is here!
Right here!
I'd like to thank everybody who gave good ratings and reviews to the first two toons; couldn't have done it without your help!
I took in a few fan suggestions, going as far as to have one user help write the dialogue for a character in this cartoon! I really went all out to please everybody who liked the first two, with a cartoon 3 times as long, and, cooincidentally, 3 times as awesome.

Probably going to take a break from flash for a while now. This cartoon was a buttload of work that kept me from even playing my guitar for nigh on 2 weeks. Expect me to return with some new stuff before summer!

SRM Transformers 3

Posted by Battosai810 Mar. 21, 2008 @ 2:01 AM EDT

Been working on SRM Transformers 3 over the week, it's coming along fairly quickly. I just broke the 90 second mark in the toon, and almost all the voicework is complete, save for a tiny bit of vocoding. Everything desirable in a sequel is there - new characters, new jokes, more transformations (sweet Jebus!) and tons of music and sound effects straight from the original cartoon.

As I said in my last post, this is gonna be a big toon - straight up EPIC. It's shaping up to be a long toon, way longer than any other SRM Transformers toon especially. I think this is gonna be my magnum opus, seriously. Who knows, if I'm lucky it could break the 4.0 mark; only time will tell!

I'll be sure to keep you all updated and hopefully get some more work in this weekend!

More info on the SRM Transformers front...

Posted by Battosai810 Mar. 13, 2008 @ 1:04 AM EDT

Today I finished the storyboards and writing for SRM Transformers 3. It's about 5 and a half to 6 pages long, and, considering one page lasts about a minute onscreen, you can tell this is gonna be a pretty hefty animation. The other two SRM Transformers toons were only 2 pages long, and noone complained about their length, so here's hoping this one will be more than enough to satisfy everyone. I've even enlisted the help of a fan here on Newgrounds to help write a bit of dialogue for one character!

This is going to be my biggest animation yet, Transformers or not. I'm really gonna try to push the envelope as much as I can and hope it doesn't backfire. Considering how close the last one came to killing my computer, Here's hoping this doesn't put an end to this optimized-for-Windows-2000 beast. (/sarcasm)

Now, this may be the last Transformers related animation for a while. It's been a fun ride, but I like expanding my horizons just a little bit here and there. I've got other things to parody, and possibly more of my random cartoons about nothing I enjoy so much. Thanks to everyone who liked the first 2; I think this one's going to be a fitting cap to this little trilogy. And who knows, I might do more in the future. For now, however, three is the magic number. Thanks for watching, and keep on the lookout for part 3 everybody.

A THIRD SRM Transformers? Surely you jest!

Posted by Battosai810 Mar. 7, 2008 @ 11:25 PM EST

Nope, I actually started writing on SRM Transformers 3. I'm closing in on 2 and a half pages of cartoon - expect this one to have plenty of new faces, and to be at least twice as long as the other two! I've been shopping around for ideas and help from others - expect this one to be the best yet!
more as work continues.

SRM Transformers 2!

Posted by Battosai810 Feb. 29, 2008 @ 7:19 PM EST

At long last, my sequel to the front-page winning SRM Transformers is complete!

I give you all SRM Transformers 2!

There were some suggestions from the first toon that got put into this - namely:
Soundwave is BLUE, not purple (although he is purple in the comics)
subtitles are in there now
and Transformers that actually TRANSFORM!

Enjoy!

EDIT: front page? hot damn! 2 in a row!

work is slow...

Posted by Battosai810 Feb. 20, 2008 @ 10:13 PM EST

I'll get the good news out for you wonderful folks out first - I'm two pages in to an SRM Transformers with storyboards! These parts are all drawn out, and this is one of many ways that I'm procrastinating actually finishing the damn thing.
On the negative side, my arms are killing me. Great gig on the 17th with my band, Blu Mantra (Myspace) but we had to haul all our gear upstairs, and it left me pretty spent over the long weekend.
Also, dentist today. Ouch. Knocked me out for a few more hours.
Anyway, this animation is coming together, expect to see something from me in mid-March, hopefully!

preliminary stages...

Posted by Battosai810 Feb. 12, 2008 @ 8:37 PM EST

i've started on the preliminary stages of an SRM Transformers sequel. Three new characters are designed, 2 of which are already in flash. I'm working on transformations and the like, and getting some jokes together. not sure when it will be done, but expect at least one more update before it is!

EDIT: took me 3 and a half hours, but i've got a transforming character! as a special bonus to you all, it's a new character!
