A few updates on myself that you don't want to read (warning: LONG POST)

Posted by Bobert-Rob - July 16th, 2008


I'm so tired of seeing that news post I got about my recent release... so tired that I'm writing a new one. I'm not sure what to write about, so I'll just update you on some projects. Because I know you ALL care so much about little ol' me.
And yes, that was sarcasm. Sarcasm in text form is idiotic because it's impossible without completely giving it away in description format, but I did it anyway. Cuz I'm dumb.

Siblings News
This is what most of you care about. I'm roughly half way through animating the second mini-episode. It's looking damn awesome and I'm proud of the steps of progress I'm making in the style. Gone are the weird sunken eyes of shadow seen in episode 5, and here be more realistic eye shadows! Yippie! A link for those who want a taste to come (it's an old version, the actual cells look a little better)

The Heart and the Hand, Part 2
MUCH further along than the second Siblings Mini-episode, though still so incomplete... the reason it's taking to long is the fact that I'm really trying to make it the best animation I can make right now, and good animation takes time. With Siblings, I just bullshit and do things however I feel like, ditching ideas that don't work in the future and keeping good ones. With this, I want it to work from the beginning... and so far, it does. Part one worked really well. To make Part 2 flow even better, it'll take time. In the meantime, check out some artwork related to 'The Heart and The Hand'... if you want.

MYSTERY COLLAB THING!!!
WHY DO I DO SO MANY DAMN THINGS SIMULTANEOUSLY?! DO I HAVE A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHING!?!?
Perhaps.
But that's besides the point. I am indeed participating in another collab... some of you may remember the first collab I contributed to, *cough*BLAMFORMERS*cough* but I haven't really been a part of another since. Why? Well, lets just say Rob typically doesn't play well with others. That and the idea of a collab really doesn't sit well with me... but the author contacted me about participating, and when he mentioned what he wanted to do, the ideas started flowing. I decided to go ahead and contribute after that. I won't say who contacted me or what it involves, but I'm hoping it'll be a good one. I like my contribution, at least... I think you guys will to. I've only got 5 seconds animated, but it's a good 5 seconds, and will be followed by a minute or two of more spiffy whatnots. That won't be done for awhile, though, as there's no deadline for it or anything. So I have no idea when it'll be released. It'll come, though.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED READING BY NOW, ROB, STOP WRITING
I like to write, and can't filter my words without leaving out nifty little Rob-isms. And we can't have Rob censoring himself, can we? I'd probably end up censoring the important stuff and just leave the stupid shit, heh. And THAT would just piss people off more.

-
Oh, and I figured I'd mention that I have a job now. Like, an actual job. Don't get excited, it's not doing any animation stuff or even anything graphic design related. It's a factory job, if you wanna know the truth. I don't care what you think, I like it. Doesn't require too much thinking, and I'm good at it.

Due to the job, my releases will take longer to complete. I'm not going to stop animating altogether, but you must know that it'll slow the process down a bit. You'll get over it... I mean, shit, you have so much already. Anything I make beyond now is bonus points.

Regardless of the longer wait, I hope to have SOMETHING done by fall. Probably the mini-episode, if anything, but I make NO promises. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if I don't finish anything until winter. The future is uncertain, my friends... but shit will happen. Because we all have to shit sometimes, you know?

I usually try to end this differently... but right now, I can't seem to end it at all. I was going to finish it two paragraphs ago, but decided to tell you about my hoping for a fall release on the miniep. Now I keep writing in hopes that I write myself into a corner, but I keep finding ways to navigate through my ramblings... usually by observing myself in a cynical way. It's all just a bunch of bitching, but anyone who has read many of my ramblings knows I bitch a lot. Hell, a lot of the time I don't make sense and contradict myself... sometimes in mid-sentence. I apologize for nothing.

Damn, I only have 28,000 letters left before I'm out of room. Will I use them?

No.

PS: Don't comment telling me this is too long. I'm fully aware of that. If you don't read it, I don't care to hear your input.
Also, stop asking me the same questions, it's in this message or on the various FAQs on my website. I wrote them for curious fans to read, so if you're a curious fan, then READ EM'.
That's all.

A few updates on myself that you don't want to read (warning: LONG POST)

No way, I was wanting to do a music video for Alabama Song.

Sorry bout that. My teacher picked the song out, that's the only reason I did it. Assignments, they're fun. Especially when they involve songs about drinking.

IT'S TOO LONGGG MAKE IT SHORTER

Sarcasm isn't exactly impossible to pull off in simple text, but it can be difficult. I'm kinda glad you threw in that sarcasm text, though, because otherwise I wouldn't have understood that first paragraph quite as well.

The Sibling cells are looking good. The shading seems a bit weird to me in some places like the eyes and neck, but that's probably just because I'm used to seeing things in very different styles. The picture is fine though, so don't mind me.

Just how much are you planning out the Heart and the Hand? It sounds like your putting a lot of thought into it. Nice sketches, too =)

Heh, I seem to try doing too many animation-related things at once as well. That's probably why I haven't gotten anything done recently. That and the fact that I'm becoming increasingly lazy about my movie-making.

I kept reading for a while and then I stopped =P

Good luck with future projects and your job!

I figure most people will only read the parts about animation project news and skip the rest. It happens.

For Siblings, I'm trying to use photo references more now for more accurate shading on the characters. Still isn'tperfect, but I believe they look much better than previous versions. To each his own, though.

And yeah, I'm putting a lot of effort into The Heart and the Hand, it means a lot to me. I always liked it due to its unique quality among my other works... plus, I just really like the story and lighthearted attitude it has. Its attitude being somewhat inspired by babies and how they can communicate so much using body language and simple sounds only.

Thanks for the wishes of luck, I'll need it.

I was reading less and less as I went along. God I have no idea why I stay up past midnight... god I'm tired...

I would tell you to go to bed, but you already have and have woken up again.

On that note, I need to get into better sleeping habits. My current ones suck. Oh well.

Dude! I've loved all of your masterpieces. Your the main reason i'm working my way into artwork and animations. Keep up the great work, Rob!

- Werewolf

Well, thanks, I'm glad you like my stuff. Lets hope what I'm working on now will meet those expectations of yours, heh. Yes indeed!

i read the whole thing cos im awsome !! :D

goood vid too but was that you what was drunk cos on the close ups it doesnt look like you?

Nope, that was my buddy Adrian. He also starred in two other films I did. Y'know, just for the hell of it. I don't drink, so I didn't want to star in it.

i read it all do i get a reward? and erm ya still planing on parodizing runescape lol liiike they did get a new Higher def version haha

I realize, but I won't be talking about that game... hopefully ever. I won't rule out the possibility, but come on... what would be the point? Besides that, Johny showed me a screenshot of this new 'high res' mode, and the only difference I saw was the ground wasn't made of solid colors. Ooo, textures! That makes it a million times better, right? No, not quite. It still doesn't even look as good as SNES games. Seriously, Chrono Trigger looks better than that game, and it's over ten years old! Pathetic.
*stops ranitng*

Rob, i love you LONG TIME

Well fank you, I'm gwad.

The post wasn't long enough, GRR. All I can really say is that it's all looking good and it should be good when it comes out.

No kidding? Finally, someone who doesn't bitch about it being too long, heh. I'm glad you enjoyed the update, heh. I think it'll all be great upon completion, but who knows?

Can't wait.

Me either.

How is the work coming along on the spike mugen character?
If you are already done, where can i get it?

Not done yet. I honestly haven't touched it in awhile, as I've been pretty busy with other things. I do hope to finish him eventually, but it could be likely that I'll put it off for awhile longer. Rob's a perfectionist, afterall.

You can never have too much witing you know, well, unless of course you manage to get around a character cap, then you're obsessed. But anyway, all of what you do is great, and those are nice sketches, much better than what I could do anyway.

Well, glad you appreciate all that, even with all the rambling, heh.

O I love you. Have my baby (not sex, just like a free baby, here you go. Take it, raise it as your own. teach it the ways of...whatever it is you do). I'll be eagerly awaiting the front page for more of your work since I'm sure it will end up on there!

Well, thanks for the compliments, Kanoop, I appreciate the kind words. And yeah, it seems much of my work ends up there, eh? My latest release proves not EVERYTHING I make ends up there, though, only the things that deserve it. Which is how I like it.

I needs me more Siblings. If you really act the way you did in half beard i wish you were my daddy.

Lucky duck, I want a job. D: One that requires me to not think and that I like(fat chance of that happening though.). >:

The less you think, the more it usually hurts. You gotta pay for it somehow, either by brain power or through pain or something.

I read it all :P

I wish I had something to reward you with... but I feel knowing all you know from reading is reward enough.

That and I'm cheap.

OMG! ROB! youre da best flah artist EVA! Well, youre tied with Jaso(guy who makes coutner-stick) I LOVE the sibligns episode, especiallty runesuck and dont wake robby. Keep up the good work!

Peace,
Gdog163

Well thanks, I'm glad you like my work. Hope you like my future releases!

I think its great that you got a job! when your happy with your job you will be relaxed and when your relaxed you will have more time to animate! also you can probably by better stuff for animating like...............i don't no but u probably do! also i just noticed you an johns voice acting is AMAZING! you make it sound so smooth!!!!
-fan till death
linktube

Well, yeah, having the job will hopefully get me to provide more things to my fans. One of the main goals of mine being getting a better web host and a .com address. I mean hell, I've needed one for the longest time, heh. From there, who knows... but I got some ideas.
And thanks for the compliments.

Long posts are good, I read it all without any detrimental effects (to date, at least).

But yeah, I feel somewhat obliged to comment just to show my appreciation for your work (damn that sounds gay, oh well). They make me want to start getting back into the whole animation thing. Then I open flash and realise how little I really feel like doing. Maybe one day.

Anyway, keep up the great work dude.

Well I'm glad I inspire creation in you, even if it doesn't result in anything being done, heh. And I shall do what I do best, which is more... thanks for commenting, !

i actually read this post by the animators, and dont usually care. As for siblings series, i say that its been quite a fascinating joytrip for some of us in the fan community, you and your brother, keep up the jokes.

Now for the Heart and the Hand part 2, the idea is quite out there, i seriously cant find the words to describe the flash, probably because i spend too much time watching zero punctuation to be paying attention to any thing any more... =)

Now this collab thing... 5 seconds,... well make it a well animated 5 seconds... pretty much stating the obvious right?

ranting ranting ranting ranting..... done

Truely. Thanks for taking the time, I like that. I like it a lot. And I'll do my best to make most of what I do as good as it can be. THAT FIVE SECONDS WILL BE GLORIOUS! Maybe! At least compared to that thing I did for Blamformers, heh.

sorry for some of the spelling errors in my part.....

Didn't even notice, so it's cool.
