Greetings fellow spawns of Newgrounds, I made this post for two things, first to ask you a question, just to know a bit more about the general opinion about the bosses of C. Crashers.

Which one is your favorite? And also the one you hate the most?

For me, my favorite is the Cyclops (cool boss, and the most freaking amazing song in the game is his theme, but that´s my opinion) and my most hated is the Necromancer (not the boss itself, just his lightning-fast minions and the floor is so confusing I barely see where I am when I fight him. The music makes up for that, though). SO...which are yours?

Now, the UPDATE:

Final exams are over! Yay! That means more time to work on C. Crashing a Wedding, right now I have about 35 seconds finished, and hopefully I'll animate about 2-3 seconds daily at least, unless I lose inspiration...Soooo heres another snapshot, make sure to keep an eye on my posts if you wanna know how the development of the flash goes aaand that's it, see you in the next post.

Hello fellow Newgrounders, as you may or may not know, a new flash, C. Crashing a Wedding is in the works, (around 25 seconds done, not much, been busy with school) and I wanted to tell you a little bit more about it.

As I worked on it, I realized that I had never drawn a princess from Castle Crashers before, at first I was like "Pfftt...how hard could it possible be?" Well, really hard actually! It didn't matter how much effort I put, she ended up looking more creepy than pretty, and I came to the conclusion that it's because of a curse.

The curse of DanPaladin

DanPaladin, in case you don't know, is the artist of Castle Crashers, and he has spread a curse all over the artists of Newgrounds. "Whoever attempts to draw with his style, will be doomed to failure and humiliation".

Many people have drawn the Castle Crashers well, but that's because they do it with their own style. I've drawn the Castle Crashers too, but the thing is, the princesses have a bigger amount of Dan's energy and soul into them, (I think the draws them with his own blood or something) so when I tried to draw them, they looked horrible.

Knowing this, I decided to draw the Green Princess with my own style, there's a screenshot of the animation below. So, that's it, the animation will probably be out by the end of summer if I'm lucky, keep an eye on my posts if you're interested in how the flash is doing, and I'll see you in the next post!

PS: Which do you think is better, Halo Reach or Starcraft 2?

Hi Newgrounds, I'm here to ask for your help. In an earlier post, I asked which game should I buy: Cod Black Ops, Halo Reach or Starcraft 2, and now I narrowed my choices (no black ops, seems good but it just doesn't get my attention) so now I'll tell you the situation with those 2 games in more detail, and maybe you guys could help me decide which game is the best to buy.

HALO REACH:

Got and xbox360 a while ago, and for my first console game, I think this one would be nice, the thing is I wouldn't get a gold account right after buying it, I would only play campaign and with my brother. Another thing, I've never been a fan of Halo series (than can be both good or bad) but this one looks really awesome, I would buy it, but without a gold acount, is it worth it?

STARCRAFT 2:

I have it, I love it, but my play time expires in late May, so I've been thinking if I should buy unlimited time for it. The thing is my computer sucks at running games, so frequently I end up using my brother's laptop, which runs it quite smoothly (low settings), but that means we can't play matches together (he wants me to use my own computer xD). So, is it worth it to get a game I can't get the full potential out of, but I love it when I can play it? (Side note: I'm in bronze league, Latin America, just if you're curious)

Well, hope you guys can help me, sorry about making two posts about essentially the same thing, but I need advice. And about C.Crashing a Wedding, it's still in the works, when I finish school I'll really start to work on it. Thanks!!

Hello fellow Newgrounders, I've been thinking about getting my first non-xbla Xbox360 game some time soon (only played Castle Crashers by now), and I think either CoD Black Ops or Halo Reach would be good. However, I realized my license for Starcraft II will expire in about a month, and the option to buy unlimited time for it appeared, so...

Should I get CoD Black Ops, Halo Reach or Starcraft II?

Things to have in mind:

I don't have a gold account, so until I get more games, and it's actually worth it for me to get one, I would play offline, only campaign or multiplayer with my brother, if it's one of the xbox games.

My laptop sucks at running games, I only get around 15 fps, and sudden drops to 3 fps on lowest settings for Starcraft II, so I'm not sure if getting unlimited time for it will be a good idea.

Well, hope you help me out, just tell me which one is your favorite, or you can recommend me another one if you want to, and by the way, just in case you want to add me, my gamertag is WhiteBird995. Thanks!

For a World History project we had a very specific task. Create a 5 minute video about World War II, but it cannot be blood and gore and shooting (done many times already), it had to be creative. Most of my classmates made videos recording themselves, but my team and I made something else.

4 minute recording, and I made a one minute animation in flash, I made it in three days, so of course, it was quick and sketchy, but it left my whole class quite impressed, because we started learning flash on computers class, and most of them had problems with simple things, like shape tweening and masks.

I obviously took inspiration from Everything by Everyone for the music choice, and Ultrasound for the art style, and I'm happy with the results, go check it out if you want.

WWII ANIMATION

NOTE: The point of the flash it so be sympathetic with every soldier, and that includes the Germans (come on, I bet most of them didn't even want to fight, they were forced, as every other soldier) so there is no "good guys" and "bad guys", if you are offended in any way, then I apologize.

I have to give you an important message, I'll leave Newgrounds for a while...yeah, it was a bad idea to post this on April Fools day, I know, but I'm serious about this, it's just that because final exams are getting closer and closer, I have to focus on school more than on animating.

If I don't focus on school, I'll trigger a catastrophic chain of events that will eventually lead to the Armageddon, and that would not be cute, would it?

Now, "I'll leave Newgrounds" doesn't mean that I will stop visiting the site, it means that I will stop animating, thus C. Crashing a Wedding will be delayed but don't worry, just so you see how amazing I am, I'll give you a sneak peek of what I have done by now.

I have almost 200 fans! Thanks everyone who has added me as a favorite flash artist, it means a lot to me. And the one who becomes the 200th fan will receive a special "thank you" gift, just saying, if you like my work and haven't added me to your favorite artists list, now is your chance ;)

EDIT: WOO! 200 fans! That's so great! Thank you all! I'll also give a little gift when I get 300 fans ;) So...who was the one that added me? Who's the powerful mighty 200th fan?

Thank you The Behemoth guys, for giving me the opportunity to finally play Castle Crashers and experience myself how cute the deer are, how annoying the Corn Boss is, etc...

As a simple way to express how grateful I am, I made a "Thank you" drawing, which I submitted to the Art Portal and you can find it here.

At the bottom of this post there's a picture which pretty much sums up what I'm talking about and I think it needs no explanation (and yes, that's DanPaladin's autograph). Oh, just one thing, my name is actually not Jorge, it's Adrian, I forgot to tell them that. There's a very logic reason why they thought it was Jorge, but just beacuase, I will not say what it is.

And in case you want to add me...

I would love to say that C. Crashing a Wedding is doing great, the quality is amazing and it will be out sometime this month. Unfortunately I can't say that because it would be a lie. The thing is I've been very busy with school (and playing Castle Crashers) and as you know, animation takes time. However, the script and 35 seconds of the sketch animation are done by now.

And that's it. I'll see you in the next news post.

Hello Newgrounders, don't be fooled by the title of this post, I'm not made of pure win. Well, maybe a little, because I used a Castle Crashers song for a school project! hahaha! Which one? this one! I know what you're thinking..."WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Okay, calm down, I actually didn't use that one, I used this one.

And what was the project? I don't want to get into details, but it was basically to record ourselves talking about a certain topic, and it must have background music. I found that song lying around my desktop (Inside my Castle Crashers soundtrack folder, hehe...) And I thought: "Yeah, why not"? Since the topic I was talking about fit with the song, I decided to use it. (Guess which topic it was xD)

Is there gonna be another C. Crashing flash? yes! C. Crashing a Wedding! but it's not gonna be out soon, I'm still working on the script, so be patient, I don't wanna rush it like the last time. I want to make it so awesome it blows your head off, even if it takes me several months to finish.

Oh, and before I forget, my stuff got to the Castle Crashers collection! Thanks everyone who recommended it, having flashes I made in a collection makes me feel like I'm really a part of the community :)

Hello Newgrounders! The animation I started working on in December 26th 2010, C. Crashing Frost King is now live here at Newgrounds! go check it out if you haven't already! :D

And also, if you want to keep track of the stuff I do, either telling you my progress with current animations or just to share links to things I find and like, follow me on Twitter! I may not have lots of tweets right now, but that's because I have almost no followers, be the first one! :D

Since school started a few weeks ago, I will not be able to animate as fast as usual, but still, I want to know which boss I should do next, it's either the Conehead Groom or the Necromancer. You decide, if it's the Conehead it would be more a parody than a fight, and if it's the Necromancer it would have lots of FBF and it would be a very fast paced battle. Leave your vote in a comment :D

Hello Newgrounders, you may or may not be wondering: "Why haven't you submitted C. Crashing Frost King yet? you're always so fast!" Well, that's because school just started, so I have almost no time, maybe I will not finish it in January, I have only 80 seconds of the flash done...so for now, I'll tell you the story of how I started animating. Read it if you're bored or just want to know :)

HOW IT BEGAN:

I joined deviantart on August 2009, and started uploading simple drawings, I knew about Newgrounds, and I knew it was focused on flash, I joined, but only submitted drawings to the Art Portal. Time after I started animating simple stuff, this is my first .swf (if would have been blammed if I submitted it to the portal xD) sucks, doesn't it? But that's how it all began...

MY FIRST SUBMISSION (September 27, 2009)

Dramatic Goo Jump...this piece of animation is so bad I would delete it, but no, I will not, it's part of my NG history. I didn't expect it to do well, I just made it because I wanted to submit something, get reviews, a score...I'm surprised it passed judgment!

SAILOR POKEMOON

Sounds familiar? I had the idea of crossing this two animes because I hadn't seen anyone do it yet, so I submitted Sailor Pokemoon intro, I didn't have any story at that time, but I made up a simple one, and after long animating breaks, I finished Sailor Pokemoon ep 1, my first and only animation with voice.

It didn't do as well as I expected, but I learned something useful: Submitting a Pokemon animation to Newgrounds is like throwing a fish into lemon juice. You just can't expect it to do well. And with that in mind, I started something a little bit more related to Newgrounds...

C. CRASHING...

You probably know what I'm talking about...the same day I saw Newground's response to Sailor Pokemoon, I decided to make something more related to the site. It took me only 6 days to make it, but it would make a great difference...

C. Crashing a Barbarian, the animation that got me my first award and frontpage, and made me start something at least a few hundreds liked. "C. Crashing..." animations about the Castle Crashers' boss fights. I can't imagine what that first flash would eventually lead to...

WHAT'S NEXT?

I'm still pretty new, I have lots to learn, this is just starting :)
