I'm Camtoons. I make cartoons. That's not confusing or anything.

So, I haven't had a cartoon up on this site in about 2 months to this day. I promised for a lot of cartoons to be coming out, but I have no idea when or if I'll get to them. Needless to say, real life takes priority over making silly cartoons and putting them up on the Internet. I'm still checking in every so often to respond to reviews and see what's up on Newgrounds though. Most of my relaxation time is spent painting Warhammer 40k models, and my school time is spent animating. It's hard to motivate yourself to do schoolwork as a hobby.

Lately my problem has been that Flash CS4 doesn't work on my computer. I have no idea why Windows 7 doesn't like it, but it doesn't. It runs slow as balls and is pretty much unusable. The rest of the Adobe suite works fine though, as does 3Ds Max and most games. If I can get Flash working again, I'll get back to work on cartoons for fun. For now, I have to borrow my buddy's computer or trek to my school to use Flash. My tablet's kind of busted too, but I'll deal with that.

Anyway, just letting my miniscule audience know that I'm still alive, and that I plan to make cartoons again. Here's some great art I found in a thread on a forum I waste too much time on:

PS: I regret nothing about voice acting for Marshmallow Squad 5. It's a work of art that you unsophisticated types can't appreciate. Ha, who am I kidding. Go zerobomb it or whatever you folks do.

I assure you I will return.

woah . trippy art .

I think MS went out of their way to make sure Flash had issues with Windows 7... I've been getting endless complaints from people where the Flash plugin doesn't even work for them because it's not 64 bit. I imagine they COULD have accommodated if they weren't so desperate for people to use Silverlight.

I'm using 32-bit and it doesn't work for me - a buddy of mine has Windows 7 on his rig and it runs Flash fine, but doesn't run 3Ds Max, which I don't have a problem with. I've gotta go give Adobe tech support a few hours of my time and get this stuff fixed.

I've never even heard of Silverlight til now - Microsoft should let Adobe do their thing. They're better at it.

Jesus you drew that? That's one major step closer to your art skills! I was wondering where you went this whole time. Anyways, I suggest you work on what you want, I've already abandoned a few projects of mine to work on more trippy flash movies.

Ah, I didn't draw that - it just turned up on a thread and I saved it for being hilarious. I think that the next thing that'll be up on NG will be something I made for one of my classes. My 2D frame by frame animation skills have gotten a lot better, since before it was basically just me BSing everything. More to come!

Simple solution to your problem. get a mac. you could run P.C on it thru it if hate them, and you could have flash one platform and 3D's max on the other!

Yeah, I had people ask me to do that before. Why would I bother using a Mac if everything I want to do is on the PC though? I haven't had Flash problems until just now.

"most of my relaxation time is spent painting Warhammer 40k models" :D

we await your return

Right now I'm in the middle of a platoon of Catachans. Imperial Guard are awesome.

BTW, did you actually purchase Flash CS4 for $600? It seems like Adobe are ripping everyone off...

Are there cheaper options?

With the student discount I got I was able to get almost the entire CS4 suite for $600. Aside from Flash it all works right now. Naturally it's Flash that doesn't work and not Soundbooth or something.

Guard ARE awesome, I started a steel legion army a while back and I'm still wokring on it

hope those catachans come out well

You can check out my Guard in this thread on Dakka:

trippy

the link didn't work for me D:

Newgrounds puts spaces in URLs - just delete the space inbetween "dakkafo" and "rum" and it will work fine. Forgot that!
