Upcoming animation (Derpy Hooves)

Posted by alfa995 - November 24th, 2011

Some of you may have noticed the Easter egg in my latest animation, C. Crashing a Wedding, in which I sneaked Derpy Hooves as one of the horses pulling the Cyclops' carriage. (The screenshot here).

Well, guess what? I've been working on a full-length animation focusing on her. I have animated about 55 seconds of the 80 seconds I need. Yes, it's pretty short, but it's mainly for practice. Besides, MLP is generally not very well received here on Newgrounds, so it's like a challenge. I have to animate it so well that nobody will mind it being about a pony.

The flash will probably be submitted in early December, more or less. Below is a screenshot of one of the scenes. See you in the next post.

Ponies = Awesome.

No matter what the flash is about.

if anything it'll probably be over rated.
ponies are the cool on the internet apparently.

alfa995 2011-11-24 21:02:19

Overrated? Sure, because when something you don't like is popular, it IS overrated, apparently.

YAY, I was hoping sombody "as good of an animator as you" would make a pony legit animation with ponies. And now your doing 1!!!!!!!

A lot to look forward too, I expect nothing but the best from you, as before...
(I swear, it's a freaking coincidence I stumbled onto you here, front page)

Definitively post it man, I saw it on Devinart, it's impressive.

Forgive me for saying this, but dead wrong about the not well received part. Apples.mov (even though it has not been posted on newgrounds for whatever reason) is currently coming close to being the third most popular MLP related video and is a flash animation by HotDiggetyDemon aka the guy who made WGJ4K. Bronies by Spazkid got a daily second feature which is his second most popular vid after a whole year of getting underdog awards. Friendship is Magic Bitch by Layton is one of his most viewed flash animations with a second daily award.

Last but not least, Story of the Blanks by Donitz. This merits it's own paragraph for the success story it brings. Donitz has been making flash games on Newgrounds ever since 2007 with 45 games in total. All of his games have received between 2.4 to 3.6 in rating with no awards. Story of the Blanks however is his only flash to have a rating above 4.0. The popularity of it even got him a daily first and weekly fourth. Heck, it is even referenced in the actual cartoon season 2 ep 3 with twilight on the bench and the kids jump roping suddenly turn into black figures with a red and black background.

I am gonna give myself a challenge in hopes of not contradicting myself by saying this flash video should at the very least get a daily first as long as you do not face any competition by veteran Newgrounds flash artists.

Saw your Derpy flash on EQ aaaannndd....

I LOVE YOU! ALL MY LOVE <3

Juvygenius 2011-12-04 01:29:37

Darn, HappyHarry released a vid. Both vids were Skyrim related as well. Guess Skyrim is currently the better topic at the moment. Oh well, congrats on daily third and well deserved.

Not a fan of MLP but I must give you credit as your skill level has seriously increased :)
Good work bud, I'm impressed!

alfa995 2011-12-04 02:57:49

Thanks! That was pretty much my goal with it. To animate it so well that it would impress even the ones who don't like MLP. :)

Zorthax 2011-12-04 03:35:47

I hope you animate your own parody episodes about the background characters because this is all mega squee.

RicePirate 2011-12-04 18:49:25

My dislike of MLP hasn't softened a bit, but to ignore your obvious progress and talent would be stupid.

I don't care what your influences are, no matter how much I may dislike them, if they inspire you to progress the way you have, keep it up and don't ever stop. For 16, you're a fucking rockstar. I very much admire and am inspired by your work.

alfa995 2011-12-04 18:49:25

Thank you for your kind words. Knowing that you dislike MLP, but the animation itself still managed to impress you, means I achieved my main goal with it on Newgrounds.

As I told FrozenFire, I wanted to make the animation so good that people wouldn't care if don't like what it is about. Still got trolls though, but I'll just listen to the helpful reviews and make it better next time.

AleksandrtheGreat 2011-12-04 23:48:48

I don't care how well you animate it, it will always be an abomination in my eyes. It doesn't matter how much you polish a turd, it will still always be a piece of shit.

alfa995 2011-12-04 23:48:48

Everyone can have their own opinion. But if you're not going to give a helpful review like others (even the ones who hate it) I won't care about yours.

DahDoctow 2011-12-05 23:33:18

Great job on the animation, wish I had enough willpower to finish something as massive as this haha.

Keep it up, you're becoming better every submission!

Matsufubu 2011-12-06 04:55:25

Wait... You're fucking 16 years old.... and draw better than most animator's in their 20s.... What the fuck gives? Great talent. Keep up the great work.
