Well I'm really not that active anymore here and it's not that I choose to be in other places...well I take that back this forum does bore me at times.The inactivity on the threads and branches for the forum that were first created when I joined nearly a year ago to grow my channel and make new friends is just sad.And it makes me sad to come back to this forum and see the inactivity.Of course people will tell me it's active but only in certain retrospects.At the height of this forum there wasn't a dull moment.We had close to 30 members on at a time who were actively participating all over the forum and contributing to what we now have today.Unfortunately though due to different things and events that have happened here that activity is obviously gone.People who were my friends fought and hated each other or they couldn't take into consideration of other people's views.I'm not gonna lie I was one of those people and I'm not proud of it at all.An example of these long standing feuds is the fight that went on between Taimur TheSporeRex and Theropod/likosaurus the owner of this forum.
Through there fights and there hatred toward each other they created a paral that tore this community apart.The original community is almost non existent.They were pushed away by the fighting instigated by the owner,TheSporeRex,and I.They will continue putting blame on each other because they hate each other ,that I know will not change and it probably never will change which is sad because Taimur/TheSporeRex brought theropod into the dinosaur/animal community and introduced theropod to carnivora which is where may of our members of the new community have come from.Theropod pushed out TheSporeRex and was not capable of admitting his wrongdoings.And theropod will never admit to it and neither will Taimur.And now the community is focused on dinosaurs and less and less on animation,something I cherish and consider more than a hobby.Even the Pivot community here is now dead mostly focusing on stks rather than animations.I have nothing against this I just don't feel like this is the community I spent my time with last year.This forum grew my channel to what it is now.It exposed me to new things.It gave me my current knowledge of organisms and then some.And it also taught me to be biased,to hate,and to constantly fight with people I don't even know.And now more than ever.I feel alone on this forum.There isn't any other animators who consistently post like the good old days.No one who does 2d animation besides RK.And people just don't seem to care about animation in general as much as they use to.The forum has thrived though from the general talk threads and debates,but unfortunately that has nothing to do with animation.Not to mention I'm just bored of the forum.It's no longer entertaining.There's not much coming up in terms of activity and in a given hour there's maybe 3 people on at the same time as me.I guess what I'm trying to say is the forum helped me a lot,but now I think it's time to move on.I have college in less than 2 years.I'm a junior in high school.And I have boatloads of animation practice and art practice to do along with building a portfolio.I simply have no time and no drive to go on this forum anymore and I think that trait is true for a lot of the people on this forum.Now I'm not trying to offend anybody or say the forum sucks.I'm simply saying the forum just isn't entertaining anymore so the most you'll see of me is me posting art and animation to keep others inspired who really do care about animation and its complicated but beautiful art concepts.
Also I mean no offense to Theropod or any others.So do not make a fight,do not try to make people reconsider what I've said because you damn well know its the truth.And were passed it.
Anyway.I guess I'll go onto the future of my channel.Due to my version of flash being incredibly hostile toward literally all my files I'm not making any big projects like IMPACT,Redemption,and my collabs.I will however be making MAPs(multi animator project)You can view them on my channel and if you ever need attention for a 2d animation channel(NOT PIVOT) there great for getting yourself out there.I'll be posting a lot of these in the coming months.I'll probably post a Halloween related animation to which was suppose to be a remake of CARNAGE but alas flash cant take it.Besides that I'll be uploading Mini Fuckers soon once I've figured out what exactly I'm going to do with it.I'd like to continue minifuckers I just have to put my cards in order.Have no idea when casting calls for that go out.
So that brings me to my final announcement.I'll be making a series of kaiju related animation with not just any kaiju.YOUR KAIJU.That's right,I'll be making animations with you kaiju in them.Now remember I have limited time so these animations will only be 30-40 seconds but you will get to see your own monster come to life destroying shit.I'd say that's pretty worth it.I don't know how many I'm dong but I've already got 3 kaiju and there will be a limit to how many I do so you might wanna start requesting now.I will only do 1 per person and because the activity is so minimal here I doubt more than 4 people will request.And that's if I'm lucky.
Now the news you've probably all been waiting for.
The first installment of colossus has been completely storyboarded over the summer and is possibly over 40 minutes and will contain dialogue,a soundtrack,and voice actors.I'm currently in the midst of talking to possible composers and friends to compile songs along with one of my friends who is helping me build colossus's roars(he requests to remain anonymous).Colossus also has a new look that will be his permanent look as I feel he has finally reached the status of what I imagined him as.As far as when it will be released I really dunno.The colossus saga is my largest and easily most personal and ambitious project I've ever taken on.I mean hell it took 8 years to figure out the story and the monster...
Now I'm probably gonna get crap for putting this on announcements but it does contain relevant information and also the fact it won't even get noticed on my thread,which is pretty much dead .
