Monsters and Ch4 available

Posted by chluaid Jun. 3, 2009 @ 11:22 AM EDT

I had planned on releasing this chapter and making this post months ago, but work got in the way so apologies to everyone who's been waiting on it. I've been trying to fit in the writing, illustrating, screenshotting and all that heavy book shit amongst three or four freelance jobs with vicious deadlines!

Anyway HERE's the BCA page with the lovely new shopping cart and shiny ch4 thumbnail :D

The freelance stuff I'm working on has been the new D&D cartoon from Wizards of the Coast. I did it with ToonBoom Animate Pro which is pretty awesome. Pity it can't export a good .swf otherwise I'd be uploading more stuff to NG. btw, ToonBoom does export to .swf but all the really cool effects are left out, so ToonBoom's .swf result isn't as good as Flash's. Hope that changes someday but Flash CS4 is pretty good.. once you stabilise it with the patch that is :P

.

Another btw: I took my live cam down cos not only was the auto-upload screwing around and disconnecting, but I've moved house now and my internet connection has been demoted slightly. Plus there's nowhere to put them camera behind me so you can see what I'm doing. Nobody wants to look at my goblin-head from the front!

Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:42 AM MrVanNoodles says:

That was brilliant as usual :D


Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:43 AM SimonG says:

You sir, are a god.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:44 AM SimonG says:

Oh, and why don't you submit all the stuff which is currently outside NG, on NG?


Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:44 AM Wonchop says:

Swell animation thar.
You could always try exporting the vid you exported from ToonBoom into an flv and stick that in Flash. You lose a bit of quality, but you can always stick a Youtube link in there if people are picky.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:45 AM SimonG says:

SORRY! NOW I read the post.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 11:52 AM Luis says:

Good stuff, that two headed monster thing looks great.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 12:23 PM MarcyVF says:

It all looks very professional. So you work as a freelancer?


Jun. 3, 2009 | 12:35 PM Zyphonee says:

Wait! was that thing humping the Demogorgon's leg?!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 12:38 PM akskine says:

Awesome, just purchased it! :P


Jun. 3, 2009 | 12:41 PM Kirbopher says:

I love the Gnome character :]

Also AfterEffects does the same thing where certain effects done in Flash aren't transferred over when you try to export from a different program. I'm really not sure why it keeps happening, it feels a bit limiting sometimes.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 12:55 PM maxvm says:

Your artwork just keeps getting better... I didn't know that you could make something even more amazing than before!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 1:51 PM Kinsei01 says:

I may truly hate the 4th edition, but I truly love these 4th edition movies.


Jun. 3, 2009 | 2:06 PM DungeonKirby says:

D&D 4th edicion is cool! & you too!!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 2:33 PM Kilgorn says:

I'm spending my summer doing animation practice in flash so I am buying this right away, BTW noice job on the D&D toon boom thing, perhaps newgrounds should allow special exception for you to post it


Jun. 3, 2009 | 3:43 PM Brundaty says:

Awesome


Jun. 3, 2009 | 4:29 PM tyler2513 says:

Nice update on the site Adam looks awesome! I hear your in the power of three contest god luck with that man! Holy you haven't made a news post since November!!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 5:02 PM SPace says:

i wanna look at your goblin head from the front sir D:


Jun. 3, 2009 | 5:06 PM TheMexicanMuffinMan says:

Looks like you used The Beatles font there for the credits
Nothing gets by me


Jun. 3, 2009 | 5:17 PM Vert says:

Fun little animation, shame you cant put it here on NG. It takes a while to get going, but the payoff is worth it!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 5:31 PM SuperLaserBeamPanda says:

what's your smoothing when you draw?


Jun. 3, 2009 | 6:03 PM Emanhattan says:

wow nice cartoon!! getting a good control of fluids just had to be very hard for you but you seem to do it really well

also that ryan miller in the credits is rtil?


Jun. 3, 2009 | 6:18 PM OctoFlash says:

just bought it! thanks a lot man, you're plain awesome!


Jun. 3, 2009 | 8:09 PM RubberNinja says:

Haha, I love your D&D stuff, it's hilarious. I was looking into ToonBoom recently. I really like how the interface works, it looks like its actually built for character animation. I really need to sit down and learn it.


Jun. 4, 2009 | 8:06 PM denose2003 says:

Damn, you truly are a Flash God.

o.o!!

Touch my earlobe please, in a sexy manner.


Jun. 7, 2009 | 2:30 PM Bluefox77 says:

Great job on the animation "Demogorgon and the Gnome", it may be only 2 and a half minutes but it's really good.

Also the chapters of BCA are well written ( I got 3 and 4 yesterday), I've been picking up techniques on drawings as well as animation!

And looking forward to the feature film as well.


Jun. 8, 2009 | 6:41 PM Otto007 says:

waterlollies was great! keep it up!


Jun. 9, 2009 | 10:17 AM Zackie says:

I pity the reporter...


Jun. 9, 2009 | 1:58 PM RYNOL says:

That was really funny! What'd he say at the end though? You're are fucking what now? And if you can't get everything into flash, can't you like printscreen what doesn't convert? It might take time but at least you would get it done.


Jun. 12, 2009 | 11:19 AM Lorkas says:

Damn, 38 already?


Jun. 15, 2009 | 5:35 PM Narlk says:

very good animation the um gnome and demogrogon was very funny and um do u do the voices
also what music do u use for the bitey of brackenwood ones
P.S i think BRACKENWOOD is a cool name for the place or scenery, ugh FOREST yeah thats it forest.


Jun. 16, 2009 | 8:38 AM Johnnova says:

and i thought luke mckay was awesome with his WoW experiments good work and i also love parties


Jun. 17, 2009 | 8:38 AM dooseyboy says:

hey there!, i just thought you should take a look at this thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1 071131.
it has a link to a competition on FOX and i think you should submit biteycastle christmas to the competition.
it would be super cool if an Aussie could win it. (5k usd)
just thought i should let you know, maybe i should pm this.
those drawings look sick.


Jun. 22, 2009 | 6:18 PM NinjaGuy says:

Hey, If I'm correct, your name is Adam Phillips,by any chance, do you live in McKinney, Texas?


Jun. 23, 2009 | 6:51 PM Fuzz1000 says:

Hello chluaid,
Your animations are very good! May i ask what software you use to make it? I would like to make some myself and i have worked with some ok software but none would let me do the types things that you were allele to do.
Thank you so much,
Fuzz1000


Jun. 25, 2009 | 1:00 AM warahead says:

dude...you got amazing animation skills,really like the brackenwood series :D

(tsk,added you on steam)


Jun. 26, 2009 | 7:53 PM vaifan90 says:

You totally have to upload some artwork. :)


Jun. 28, 2009 | 3:08 AM DarkLeviathan says:

Hey I just noticed you have a steam account, I was quite a TF2 player for 9 months or so and I see that you play it too, if you ever want another friend to play with on a server I'll be happy to oblige, comment if you can. I really like your animation and it would be awesome just to be in my own element with someone who is such a celebrity here. Future reference my steam name is Camail. I'll send you a friend invite, but if that ends up not going through then at least I tried.


Jun. 29, 2009 | 12:28 AM runewhiz says:

Yea ive been waiting on it :(
Anyways, could u do me a big favor? Add me to your contacts plox:)

Anyways i had this really important letter, important for mezz, to you asking you a life-saving question, could i please send it to you somehow?:) THANKs


Jul. 7, 2009 | 10:48 AM SaikoTaiko says:

Where is Bitey?
I want more Bitey and Brackenwood D;


Jul. 8, 2009 | 2:23 PM NinjaGuy says:

Hey, I'm a NG writer, and I've written a script and storyline you can view on my page, if you don't want to start from scratch, just wait a few hours, we have JeremyLokken finishing up backgrounds and character ideas, so please, give this animating job a try. I really feel, I could NOT get anyone better than you for this art job. I HAVE NEVER, seen an artist as good as you, and I would be honored to have you.


Jul. 10, 2009 | 7:59 AM FurryDemon says:

Heh, I swear I saw you playing Team Fortress 2 a few times.
That game is really fun.


Jul. 10, 2009 | 2:05 PM oneshots says:

Jul. 12, 2009 | 9:54 PM PlatinumFalcon says:

You are awesome at ToonBoom!


Jul. 12, 2009 | 10:41 PM EggSaladSandwich says:

Jul. 15, 2009 | 8:20 PM BlackMorningStudios says:

That D&D short brings me back to 2nd edition...I was only a nerdling then, and that was at age 10.


Jul. 23, 2009 | 7:50 PM CaptainReaper says:

Jul. 24, 2009 | 6:59 PM matthewkinse says:

perfect voice overs on the video. and the animation and humor was awesome but that goes without saying.


Jul. 27, 2009 | 4:33 AM Zombiffix says:

It's nice to see you're still alive man. I remember when Waterlollies was Best of All-time. Good times right? But I don't know why, but I was thinking about you man. I miss your flashes so I figure I'd check your profile. Well it seems I've missed out on a whole era of awesomeness. Now I've got a whole lot of catching up to do. Keep it up!

Zombiffix


Jul. 28, 2009 | 1:24 PM Edlocks says:

amazing graphics, and your style is excellent, you keep surprising me with all your new stuff, keep working, by far the best animator I've seen in here


Aug. 1, 2009 | 6:12 PM clickclack1234 says:

hi chluaid.You ROCK!'and your my favorite flash artist.Make more videos!


Aug. 9, 2009 | 6:44 PM fohn-jarmery says:

Waterlollies is far too underated at the moment, a good example of just how badly Newgrounds is reclining.
Your fantastic pieces of art need much more recognition.


Aug. 12, 2009 | 6:03 PM tyler2513 says:

Your my 3rd favorite author on all of Newgrounds. you propaply have the most amazing artwork.


Aug. 23, 2009 | 4:49 PM amonkeyonfire says:

the video was good but the was one thing (and its more of a personal thing) but i really really hate it when sound in videos gos from low to high and i did so when that monster smashed the little dude (do you know what? thinking about it...it might be from all the screamers i watched...)


Aug. 28, 2009 | 4:13 PM nataya230 says:

wowwwww who plays the music in all the little video movies?


Aug. 28, 2009 | 10:04 PM mikew114 says:

When's the next Bitey episode coming up? Or are you planning one?


Oct. 26, 2009 | 9:22 AM Darkdiablo says:

Brilliant, i love it :D


Nov. 6, 2009 | 5:17 AM Raguel says:

The fact that all of your animations don't hold all of the top spots of Newgounds' top fifty is shameful.

Of course, if you really cared about that you'd be making Dragon Ball Z sprite movies with princess Peach being raped by Ryu and Sonic.........

In short, please keep being awesome.


Nov. 7, 2009 | 4:40 PM Draconianspirit says:

yeah I really hate what they've done to flash cs4....I don't like the way the new tweens look...I always have it make a classic tween. ...hope they don't get rid of that all together...

anywho. Good work on that cartoon.


Nov. 15, 2009 | 5:26 AM kesterg6 says:

woah cool. kinda like a freaky tarzan


Nov. 19, 2009 | 10:28 PM happinesskills says:

You could export the ToonBoom animations to any format & then import them into flash as a video. That could work, then you would be able to upload things here.


Nov. 24, 2009 | 4:57 PM tehtimmy4080 says:

You can export to flv, cant you? Just make black bands at th top or bottom to quilty back
