Charging people for helping them? That's rather mean...
tell that to Lynda.com
I'm a one-man operation and I'm hungry. You can't spare $2? and you reckon I'm mean ;)
I literally want to kill you and have sex with your corpse. In a good way.
Your Graphics are the best I've seen :)
i will tell you your future if you reply
Good news on the new chapter release, Its really great you are taking time to help alot of us here, myself included. There are alot of classes out there with the same help for 100 times the price, and anyone on a budget would be a fool to not take you up on your generous offer.
Btw Is that man in your blog part of the new BrackenWood? I have to admit, the prospect of seeing humans in your series is exciting.
I also might look into ToonBoom animate program. ToonBoom was the second program I learned after After Effects, but it was Flash that help me get my start. So its hard to turn away from that. But having flash close on me after an hour of work and forgetting to save has made it easier to start looking elsewhere. I need to see how well Animate exports to swf.
Thanks man!
Animate exports to SWF OK but some of the really awesome stuff doesn't.. for example, masking (cutters) are invertible, can have variable opacity and are blurrable, however this doesn't translate to vector, so it won't export to SWF. There are a few pitfalls like that which is a shame but I've heard rumours that they're working on a solution to use Flash's bitmap caching to somehow export those ToonBoom bitmap effects to vector formats like .SWF
In the end, Animate is probably the closest thing we could ever get as a cross between After Effects and Flash. It's a dedicated animation program full of awesome capabilities for video formats with some web export problems but none of the video export problems we associate with Flash.
I know what you mean about Flash helping you get your start.. same here. My audience is 90% Newgrounds so I could never abandon Flash unless ToonBoom could FULLY replace it.
btw, "man in my blog"? Do you mean something that was on my screen? There will be people in the Brackenwood feature but you might be seeing some freelance work I'm doing - unless you mean the webcam pic of me :P
*edit* oh I see what you mean about the man in my blog.. the image in this blog post is just a demonstration image from BCA Chapter 3.
Man, you sure keep yourself busy. Admirable, to say the least.
Thanks for watching my work, by the way. I assume you saw it since you favorited it and all. Either way, thanks for taking the time, I greatly appreciate it!
Oh, I have to second the notion that the guy with the green flame up there is pretty intense looking. You never cease to amaze us, man.
hey man glad your back, always a pleasure seeing one of the best (if not the best!) flash artist making yet another master peice soon to be in the bitey collection.
And to think that you made a tutoriol for you animating style, you my fellow australian rad!
Oh and what was your WOW characters name, my friend has one but I despise the very site of it. PM me if you don't want info to leak.. never mind, bye!!!!
My WoW character's name is ßitey (spelled Alt 0223 itey). I'm a horde guy on Khaz'goroth.. see you there ;)
The BCA chapters are brilliant, they far surpass my old flash mx for dummies book haha!
so is toon boom better than flash or does flash remain superior. i heard alot about toon boom and since most shows cartoons are made with it i thought it was the best animation program. but seeing as its so similar to flash there has to be some things one has over the other. what do ya say
Short answer is that Flash is better for .SWF stuff (i.e. NG submissions), while ToonBoom is better for video formats (i.e. YouTube, DVD, TV broadcast).
Is there any way I could get a still of Bitey, he reminds me of my brother, and I want to get it tatooed on me. Amazing flashes by the way! Me and my brother loved the flash a day on your website! Keep up the great work!
haha the Man in your blog,
I was refering to the illustration you have here in this post with the man and the flame, I see now its part of one of your exercises in your new chapter.
great work, very informative.
I get ya now :D
Yeah just an image to illustrate a technique.
There is this thing called the dole you know?
Alternatively being a tax fraud isn't so bad.
perhaps a bit of both!
Your hawt. =3
I just went on your site and reliased there was ah ton of shit that you havn't submitted to newgrounds yet. Is it because you want the main focus to be bitey, or is it to attract more visitors to your site cause you'll really get high in the ratings if you send your animations here.
yeah I want my site to have some stuff that isn't available anywhere else
your awesome
Hey.
I got to say, I love your animations.
Stories are all interesting and quite good, the things you created quite fascinating. The animation is outstanding. I must say, bravo!
I was thinking, have you ever heard of Warhammer? I won't go into explanation if you have, but if not, and you like my idea, please feel free to ask.
I was thinking that you and I could possibly work together on a long series based on Warhammer. I have many stories that we could use, and can even send some of them to you, if you find the idea as a possibility. I believe that if we use the same animations that you are using, we could make a quite sucessful flash series!
Regards,
Sean.

yeah I love RPG and fantasy themed stuff.. I've done a bit of work for Wizards of the Coast doing Dungeons & Dragons shorts (to promote 4th Edition). Right now my current freelance job is doing animation for a fantasy game in that style too (not for Wizards or D&D though).
Not sure if I have time right now to do more stuff but perhaps later in the new year when I've got a couple of new shorts out of the way (BiteyCastle and Brackenwood), then I'll think about doing something like Warhammer style stuff. It'd be loads of fun cos I love all that shit :D
Expect 1st on the christmas competition.
I didn't use the Christmas preloader so I'm not sure if I'm eligible.
Good santa video but A christmas video with Bitey and such would be really good it would be good next year since it would take awhile but it would be sweet and I think your other fans would agree.
