My humble beginnings

Posted by alfa995 - January 13th, 2011


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 :)

"Why haven't you submitted C. Crashing Frost King yet?"
Please don't.

Ummm...I think I will :) ("Please don't" is a song from the game, funny coincidence)

Being only 15, you really have some solid animation quality in your latest works, man. Keep doing what you do, and improving on yourself, because soon you'll be way better than many of us old folk that started too late.

WOAH! You're getting better all the time!
I think soon you should start coming up with characters and a story that are entirely your own rather than making parodies and tributes. Start doing this and soon enough you'll develop your own style and maybe create something new that no one has ever seen before, and then BECOME RICH AND FAMOUS.

I actually had an idea for something original that hopefully Newgrounds would like. I'll start scripting when I have time, but I'll finish the flash I'm working on right now first. :)

I perfer sailor pokemoon... are you still gonna make it? you don't have to though

Hmm I don't know, if I do it will probably be in the form of a comic and only fully animate the battle scenes. Otherwise it's just too much effort, and a very small fraction of Newgrounds would like it.

You're a good flash artist that makes NewGrounds proud!I'm just loving your C.Crashing series.Maybe someday you can submit something Meat Boy related?Just a thought.

good work, glad you are motived and focused at such a young age, its pretty rare.

hahahaha...well good for you ...XD
Unfortunately u dont have a Xbox or PS3 to play Castle Crashers :(
Oh well. Youre drawing a extremely good for someone ur age so good luck in the future and is this going to be the first submission that u show a Princess in?
