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

SRM Needs a Roommate is finally here!

Posted by Battosai810 - August 11th, 2011

I've been hinting at a new toon for about 3 months now, but I finally finished my new cartoon! Here it is:
SRM Needs a Roommate!

I worked on it for about 3 months, from storyboards to finished product and I'm super proud of it. Very few people on Newgrounds do proper frame by frame and it really bums me out, so I hope somebody will give this toon a look instead of some mindless symbol-based Madness ripoff. I made all the sound myself, while my buddy Alex did the original score. You can check out his website here; http://radionarcotix.com/

I hope you guys enjoy this; I've got a few other SRM cartoons in the scribble stage right now, and I'll post about them as more gets done. Also, I've got a website you can check out now: http://campbellmclaughlin2d.com/

Hope you folks enjoy the toon!

lol I went to a Wholly Cannoli in Massachusetts once.

That's what it's based on! I don't remember exactly where it is, but it's outside Boston.

SRM Needs A Roommate is awesome! But I don't understand the Icon choice for this one XD Anyways, Perhaps you could give some minor hints into what you have coming up for SRM?

Battosai810 2011-08-12 10:23:40

The icon completely cocked up! It was supposed to be SRM against a grey wall, I cropped the image, and for some reason it's only displaying a piece of wall that's completely unrelated. I have no clue why and I'm pretty sure the crappy icon is responsible for the low viewers.

The new toon I'm working on now is the fabled SRM Goes to College along with a few other ideas.

Awesomeness! im surprised your not as famous as eddsworld or even madness!!!!

Battosai810 2011-08-18 21:18:19

I would love to be, but I don't put out stuff as often as Eddsworld and my cartoons aren't 10 minutes of mindless violence like Madness, so that'll never happen here.

It's easily your best work, and probably at least my second favourite toon next to the Fallout 3 one, but I find it such a shame it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves :(

I think it's because a lot of the things that go on the Frontpage are generic video game parodies (which can still sometimes be great), stupid fight scenes and violence (seriously I hate Madness and don't get the hype) and internet/meme-related stuff (and the occasional gems which will go on to the Top 100.) There isn't a lot of the basic-cartoon-fundamental animations which follows a main character's life and situations like SRM (and also stuff like Blockhead - which is hilarious.) I really wish there was more of that.

So keep it up, man. Besides, don't let view count put you down (they probably don't put you down in the first place), because you still have potential as seen in stuff like SRM Transformers. Also, did your newest SRM actually go on frontpage? It got an award but I never saw it there...

And you're working on SRM goes to College? YAY!!1111

You're preaching to the choir here! I was really put off when that terrible Xionic Madness cartoon beat me out for the day, then a handful of other animations I didn't watch. Then again, Newgrounds is like that, and always has been. My most popular stuff here was the SRM Transformers series, which, while I enjoyed making, are broad parodies without too much of my own characterization in them.

Unfortunately SRM Needs a Roommate never got front page, although it did get an award. It also has a godawful icon because something screwed up on Newgrounds' icon uploader. I've tried to change it to a good icon half a dozen times, but every time it doesn't change anything and I'm left with a grey squiggle. I PMed Tom about it but he never got back to me.

Glad you liked the toon, and yes, I'm writing a few SRM cartoons right now and SRM Goes to College is one of them.
