Twisted4000's News

Posted by Twisted4000 - September 22nd, 2018


So I made my humble little addition to Madness Day for the first time ever. Krinkels's Madness Combat series was such a huge part of my childhood and, even more so, as recently as this past year. Also I remember when I was a kid I made my own Madness comics and when I showed everyone at school I got in trouble for it.

I'm cookin' up a little somethin'-something' for Madness Day 2018... anyone got any super lit audio tracks that would pair up well with a Madness animation that hasn't been used yet? Tanks

A couple of weeks ago I finally got to meet one of my greatest friends Kalabor106 and his associate/brother Rambojoe in their fair kingdom of Idaho. Let me tell you, I don't think I've ever done so much adventuring in a single week in my life, let alone an entire Summer; we went fishing, metal detecting, I went swimming at a natural waterfall (and ironically chilled in a hot spring) for the first time, we went shooting, we tubed down a river and I shattered my knees in the process, it was pretty sweet.

Newgrounds is not only a place where dudes and dudettes alike can share their talents with each other, but also a place where real friendships can spawn. Similar interests are what bring similar people together, right?

I hope to continue to collaborate with these two fine gents soon.

(And by the way yes I'm still working on loads of stuff at the moment. Yeah it's taking a while but... you know).

Made some fanart for one of my all-time favorite animators, Krinkels! This is based on his Deimos Adventure series he's been doing. You may watch the speed painting I did of it as well, if you wish.

In a world filled with chaos, Mick the Mercenary, a self-employed hit man, is visited by a nearby US military veteran, Chester the Combat Vet. The two form an alliance when the leader of a mercenary compound offers a position for the two to assassinate a list of bounties. As the newly-found associates accept the position, Mick and Chester soon realize they have agreed to more than they bargained for.

I felt like making a movie about some characters my friends and I made up a while back, so I began the script last Spring, and thus, Mick the Mercenary: The Movie was born. Enjoy the VFX and aluminum foil grenades!

Also featuring many Newgrounds Audio Portal songs:

Devastus - Stormrider, From the Depths, Untamed, Ascend, Viking Barbers From Space

lhceist41 - Nepenthes' Will, Lurking

Marterro - The Final Encounter

Meidon - Crossing the Battlefield

i9incher - Say Goodbye

Hellwreckage - Aftermath

Vertlain - The Last Flight

tydiggy - Broil Meats Grill

Blizzaine - Unnamed Hip Hop WIP

As 2017 comes to an end, here is a brief overview of how the year went before we enter 2018. As a whole, I was pretty happy with how much better this year was over the last few I had. Here's hoping 2018 is even better!

I made a cartoon: A Hearthstone Battle! I'm very excited that this thing's finally finished and published. The progress on it was slowed down due to a huge multitude of issues, but it's DONE NOW! SO ENJOY IT, YOU POOR DEVILS!!

So 2017's coming up. And it really couldn't come any sooner because this year was just absolutely atrocious for me. First off, no cartoons of mine made it to the web this year. Why? Well, not only has my time and workload been overburdened, but so has my mind. It sucked. I have a good feeling that things will loosen up soon, but they sure haven't throughout 2016 (and 2015, for that matter). There's two big animations being worked on as we speak, and one of them will be a 3-parter. When all of this will get finished and published is really anyone's guess.

In other news, I've still been doing voice work; I got to voice as Vextor the cat in Kreid's first episode of Vampire Pixel in the Neon City, some characters in both HadenCreate's The Creamery Warlock and ICE DREAM SANDWICH cartoons, as well as evil Flowey the Flower in Curious Dragon Animations' Undertale: Flowey's Perception animation. All great stuff.

I've still been drawing, I've still been making music and other audio thingies, writing, and game developing. Lots was done, and there's lots to do.

Want some links to my other pages? Oh well! Here's my YouTube Channel, my Twitter, Tumblr, and DeviantArt. Whether you click on those links or follow me wherever you decide to venture to is entirely up to you.

Regardless of how things went for me as a whole, all these things I got the pleasure to voice in and all the projects and things I did accomplish, at least, brightened things up a bit. Here's hoping to a great 2017.

And here's the video version of basically everything I already typed. See ya next year!

 


Posted by Twisted4000 - November 1st, 2016


Ahoy there. Just a little post-Halloween update. I've been focusing most of my effort on a single animation that will be about 5 minutes long. It's taking quite some time and energy, but it's basically entirely a battle scene; battle scenes take time. There's a few other cartoons all lying around on the backburner, but I wanted to get this one finished so I can finally have something meaningful to show everyone sometime soon. I'm hoping it will be done before 2017. We'll see.

Last year I made quite a few audio tracks, basically a bunch of metal/punk rock songs. They're done with real guitars and basses, but the drums are synthesized. I, just a few weeks ago, made another, and I call it "I'm Going to Murder You". You can listen to it by clicking the link that is embedded into the title I just typed out just now, or you can take the challenging way of finding the song by venturing into my Audio page.

I've been doing a bit of voice work here-and-there as well as produced a little demo, though it's not as much of a demo as it is just me imitating some Hearthstone minions. Before the year's up, I will be producing another voice demo, as I do this annually. Either way, though, if you have a project with any roles you think I'd be able to fill, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Still working on a novel, still game developing, still breathing, still seeing, but I, as I know many of you creators have also experienced before or are experiencing at this very moment, have been going through the "what now?" phase of things; as in, you spend so much energy and time on a project, and when it's done, it's like, "what do I do with this now? How will people find this? What can I realistically do to get a decent number of people exposed to this? How do I make it so this thing I have created was actually worth my time?" It's brutal.

I'm always drawing stuff, and here is one my latest drawings:1980813_147803619532_twisted4000_overwatch-d-va.jpg

 

Yeah, that's D. Va.

Here are some screenshots of the next cartoons that will be released some day:

1980813_147803594911_succs.jpg  

On my website, I upload WIP screenshots from time-to-time on my Screenshots page, there. You may click on those links if you feel like it.

So that's that, I guess. Oh, I'm also doing streams on my YouTube page about once every other week or so. Feel free to pop in whenever I'm doing one. I tend to make an ad for them a few hours prior before the event starts, so if you're subscribed, it should be fairly easy to keep track of when it will start. I basically just work on animations or draw as I answer your questions. They're mildly entertaining when they're not informative, at least.

All-in-all, it has been sheer chaos over here, lately; constantly stressed, constantly pissed-off due to dealing with people's bullshit, etc. But, no matter how bad you have it, someone, SOMEWHERE, has it MUCH worse than you. Keep that in mind.

That's it, see ya later.

Ahoy. It's hard to believe that it's been over 9 months since my last post here. Crazy. Time just flew by this year. Well, I'm basically just here to say that I've been very good as of late; still working on the game, progress is good. Working on two animations, progress is good on both, one more so than the other. Working on the novel, at chapter 20 right now. Almost done. Working on a fairly-large commission on top of it all, and hopefully I'll be done on that sooner than later so I can start releasing this stuff sooner than later.

I've been streaming like crazy on my YouTube channel lately. I'd say on average it's been like two hours every three days or so. I've been having loads of fun with them and it's been great interacting with almost all of the audience involved, but you know how too much of a good thing goes... so I might be limiting them to once a week at this point, just in case. If you're interested and want to know when I stream, it's pretty spontaneous as of now, but again, I'll probably have a schedule for it soon.

It's crazy how long it's been since I've released a cartoon, though; the last one I published was Office Language nearly eleven months ago. This once-a-year cartoon-releasing habit I've adopted hasn't been so nice, but I'm hoping that changes really soon. I want to make a video for Thanksgiving just to help hold people over for the next few big projects I get around to releasing... but then again I've been SEVERELY debating it for many reasons, and if it does actually come out... well... you'll see as to why that is.

I've been drawing as usual, and though I've been pretty slow on releasing drawings, I've still been practicing a lot, as always. Recently I released a speed painting video on this succubus drawing right here. I plan to do more speed paintings as time goes on, just as another form of content to upload to my channel, blah blah blah.

In case you didn't know, I'm currently back in Colorado, for those that remembered me moving somewhere else temporarliy. Recently I've been feeling pretty great, better than I've been in years; I got this new AMAZINGLY awesome job that I'm just in love with, the weather's nice, the projects are all going great, I have some awesome friends to talk to and games to play... I just don't know, I feel good. It's been pretty fantastic, and lots of things that used to bother me barely do at all anymore. I'm just feeling generally pretty good. Sure, it may be a phase, but I wanna enjoy the ride while it still lasts.

What sucks though is that, due to moving, some hardware and items I've had got damaged. Unfortunately this is just an inherited issue when it comes to moving stuff around, and sadly that's where more money will have to get drained into. Fantastic. But you can't shake me down; I'M FUCKIN' BULLETPROOF. Not bombproof, though.

That's that, see ya at the end of the year with my year-in-review!
