the piece was great!
i've always loved your work.
you always put alot of time and detail into your pieces and the result is absolutely outstanding.
the music is also awesome.
it definitely gives it that fantasy feel.
also, the humor you put into them is always cracks me up.
i can't wait to see more of your work and the rest of this story.

You are the most inspiration i have for animation. Up there with Pixar (pun not intended).
As an aspiring animator i hope one day i could produce something half as good as you do and it would be excellent. I've put you down as one of my cultural contributors in my contexual for foundation studies in art this year if you don't mind?
Are you a freelance animator?
amazing work once more, thanks
yep I'm a freelance animator and I'm flattered you'd include me in your studies :)
I am sorry, but I have some question for you Mr.Phillips:There is another character in Brackenwood, a Bingbong.Will he be in your future videos?Thanks for answer and sorry for my english.By the way, your work is amazing.
Brackenwood was originally all about Bingbong. However, as the popularity of Bitey exploded I have done a lot of reworking of the entire concept. Bingbong may or may not make an appearance in the feature film, so it's unclear whether or not he will make any appearances in these web episodes.
Newgrounds games have been known to make a transition to the Xbox if you make a film you will have been the first newgroundsian to make a movie that is selling in the real world and RvB(the fist web series to be made into a movie) were just voices so you will also be the first to do it yourself in the world,how does it feel?
good so far :D
Your work is truly amazing. I consider you the standard bearer for what flash is capable of. I watch a lot of flash movies and talk with friends a lot about what i see and your animations are always the first ones i send people to. It's great to see your style develop through your animations and your skill is tremendous. Particularly, your water/fluid effects are just jaw-dropping. Keep up the awesome work and i wait with bated breath for your next work.
thanks man!
Rather than leave reviews on all of your flashes, i'll just tell you what i think of your entire bitey series here (i doubt you will read this though). The story is pretty awesome. Its hard not to sound trite, but the series severely stands out in quality in almost every category from other flash. It stands out so much so, that i feel it needs its own category of "professional animation." I'm reminded of watching the animated show Venture Bros. only to have my mind blown in realization that the first season was done using flash.
Simply put, your bitey series is too well rounded and mature to fit in with 90% of the internet flash content. Because of this, i'm actually not totally satisfied with your episodes. They seem to be bottlenecked by what flash can do (and only a small amount of time). I think a feature will finally break that feel and i look forward to it.
Its obvious that you have professional training, and i think your flash receive page after page of 10/10 reviews because unlike most flash artists, you went from industry to newgrounds; your more experienced work is here (referring to bitey as i haven't watched your other flash).
I'd love to just rip your series apart with a vicious deconstruction of weak plot and shoddy visuals, but i just can't find any real glaring faults. I'm not one to leave adulating reviews, but you really do have a well rounded story.
i'd also like to add that i severely enjoy watching bitey be an asshole. this makes me happy.
tl;dr a feature film will be drastically better than flash shorts.
I do read and try to respond to all of the comments here, so thanks for the message. Don't worry, I realised long ago that Brackenwood had outgrown Flash which is why I'm now using ToonBoom to storyboard the sequel. Flash always gives me such a hard time on these large projects and I've had enough of it. Hopefully I can import my video file into Flash for submission to NG :)
Can't wait for the next one, keep up the good work.
Watched all the bitey videos and love them. Wish it was a movie! Can't wait for the next part! >.<
Wonderful, you are one of the most inspiring artist's on newgrounds, I could never stop watching your cartoons, when i first started watching them was forever ago, and what got me the most was the amount of detail you can add, not sure how much time it takes, but you obviously dont BS any of it. Keep it going! <333
Thanks for sticking with me this long. It's funny, I was playing TF2 the other day and I sprayed my Bitey pic on the wall. Some kid said "Bitey?? Dude that's soO0o old.."
XD
The first part was like more of a trailer informing you about some events
Truly amazing my friend i also think you should make some audio tho too
cause the music the way it blends with your animation iz perfect id like to hear and see more, keep up the great work man.
yeah you can download the uncut audio by itself on my site. It works nicely as an audioplay.
M.I.A. for 2 years? felt like much, much longer to me. Glad to have you back, buddy. Cant wait to see more of this legendary story.
it's good to be back. Thanks for the support :)
I really love the way you present the different environments and texctures in your world <3~!
thankye! :D
omfg that was epic!!!!! FOUR weeks???? it takes me a day to draw a circle and make it move!! btw whens the next one due? and the movie i hear it goin to be in the cinemas!! may i ask when.
Liked the music:D
Tom(not fulp)
I've started storyboarding the sequel in toonBoom so it'll be a couple of months at least. The feature film will probably be a few years away as we haven't quite started the script's first draft. Outline is almost done, then we start writing. Once it's written, we'll be shopping it around to see if any production companies bite. If not, I'll make it myself :D
Hey, Adam! Excellently excellent work with LoTD as always!
You might remember me, you might not, but I sure remember you!
Anyhow. I have been planning my own story world for over a year now but still don't have Flash. I am just about ready to start learning to animate, but then again, I am just about to enter year 12. I need to know, would I, a complete beginner at animating, be better off with Flash CS3, CS4, or ToonBoom, and what are the rough prices of each?
One of your loyal fans,

Hey man, how could I forget all that WoW gold you gave me for my epic flier? Good to hear from you again :D
I've been WoW free for a year now though. I might resubscribe to try out Cataclysm but that'll probably last about a month before the WoW-rage reconsumes me and I quit in disgust :P
If you want to learn animation, it probably doesn't matter which program you use. I personally am tired of Flash fighting me all the way so I'm using ToonBoom a lot these days. Very similar workflows and ToonBoom Animate is cheaper than Flash - only problem is that Flash is better at SWF export. I've also done Flash CS3 tutorial chapters, so if you want to make movies for NG, CS3 is probably the way to go (CS4 is buggy as hell).
I've never commented on your work before but it's always a pleasure to see it.
You're a gift to the Newgrounds community and your own website, biteycastle, has been a fantastic resource to me.
I only leave this comment in the hopes that it can somehow let you know of the impact that you have on others.
thanks for the message man, glad you like :)
WHAT THE HELL? last of the dashkin is now the 4TH and BEER RUN IS THE FIRST IN ALL TIME TOP SCORING?? WHAAAAT? your art and story and animation are all better than bear run's!!! im so sad now :'(
It's the nature of NG that we all have our time and eventually drop away on the list. I like being up near the top but I don't worry when other stuff comes in. After all, this isn't the Adam Phillips show, it's 'everything by everyone' :D
Stuff that comes into the top 10 deserves it and after some shuffling, we all settle and find our place in the list.
i think that bitey is awesome i am inspired. i have a huge collection o drawings some of which may be good in brackenwood i can sumbit them later. i also can make a wide variety of voices such as accsents from most most of the world robots aliens yoda from starwars and somthing similar to a sreaming rakshi if you like i will find a way to get some of these sounds and drawings to you.
thanks for the offer, but the Brackenwood concept is pretty well rounded now with not much room for new characters. If you're good with character designs and voices though, I suggest starting a little portfolio site so that other people can see your work. Who knows? You might be the perfect voice for Bitey in 5 years when we start casting :D
keep them comin' btw are you really 79 ?
I'm ½ that ;)
CONNORisAWESOME
it was great
