Hi everyone!

I’m back to animating here and there. IRL has been kicking my ass with things to do and financial issues. I’ve had to go a few days without food or internet but I should be fine for the next few weeks

rn imma get back to working on Sword Child 4. The whole thing is scripted and voiced by Me, Rexibro and Luckyboy. I don’t have an exact date but I should take that long like episodes 1 and 2

Here’s a rendered shot from episode 4 rn. It begins on a flashback scene

I’ll keep you guys updated on NG and my Twitter here and there!

Hi gents. I haven’t been able to animate recently due to how occupied I’ve been outside of the internet. I still have all my projects in progress (Sword Child 4, existential blues, Another castle crashers animation etc), most are in the writing phase while Existential currently has its first scene done

(YOU CAN SEE IT HERE https://x.com/kubernikus18/status/1883156753476735211?s=46&t=nPkPDWCsIJHnovOtI0og8Q)

SWORD CHILD 4

im trying my best to write sword child 4 to not be as long as episode 3. So I’m gonna spread out the episode with dialog and lessen the action stuff so it doesn’t take as long to produce, even though action is what drives sword child’s hype I prefer it to focus on the child growing as a character, you probably don’t care lol but ACTION IS HARD TO ANIMATE OK!

here are some designs for episode 4

• Child’s hair is put in a ponytail cause it will grow MUCH longer again in episode 4.
• That girl is Fae, she’s like a sharp shooter kid I guess and huts for treasure. Child is gonna help her in this one (she makes like a super brief appearance at the end of episode 2)
• She’s gonna be voiced by my pal @rexibro
• my other pal @lucky4570 will also voice some other minor civilian characters

That’s all I have for sc4. I might start production in April, when I’m not as busy

For Incubus, when I get money to pay for clip mobile, I’ll work on it here and there. Chapter 9 is half way finished and I can only access the template file when I pay for the damn program lol.

For Comms (ik I spelled commission wrong I’ll fix it when I care enough), the prices are on my NG profile and carrd. If you’re interested and want to give me money I’d appreciate it.

that’s all I have to say for now. You can check my Twitter for some pen and pencil art I crack our here and there if you miss seeing me draw stuff

Yo Gents!

Thanks for the positive feedback on sword child 3, I've honestly procrastinated way too much on it (was supposed to come out in May). GO WATCH IT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T

Thanks for the FP @TomFulp ! I'm soo glad to see child on the front page of a big ass website

Overall I'm proud at how the whole thing came out, was waaaay longer than I intended it to be. Tbh the reason I procrastinated so much on it was because I genuinely thought I was unable to pull off some of the action scenes in this (The robot fight specifically). All the scenes came out exactly how I wanted them to and I'm glad y'all loved it. Also THE LIGHT SOURCE HAS A VOICE!! I heard your criticisms on the subtitles stuff and listened. I plan on having a few more one off characters with special VAs, still gotta plan that stuff out. I'll start working on episode 4 when I'm done with my next Castle Crashers animation.

I want to move SC in a direction where it's a mix of light heartedness and child over coming his fear of separation, I have this fear personally and I've felt more comfortable expressing that through a cartoon lol. The fact that some of my friends said that this made them emotional is crazy, like who knew someone like FUCKING ME could make people get upset a cartoon character.

I'd be more than happy to focus more on Sword child for animation stuff, I'm starting to enjoy animating him. Really hope this series can get more eyes onto it.

FOR THE FUTURE

• Im currently making a sequel to my BFDI Tribute animation which will feature 2 Voice actors in it (Youtube only)

• I'm also planning to do an action cartoon for @BoiledMilkz 's Behemoth Collab, I made a song for it and everything lmao

• And also look out for the second Castle Crashers animation, It will feature the Evil Wizard and Industrial Prince!

• I also plan on making a 2nd music album called KNOTA Insert 14, which I'll be working on here and there.

• And also look out for my Black as The Night AMV, I'll continue it when I have nothing else to do.

• I also plan on doing a 1k fan/subscriber video on youtube with a face cam and shit.

Also I can AMA anytime if you have questions for me (in Messages)

All I wanted to say for now, see y'all another time

YO GENTS!

Ive been on and off of art recently. Currently getting back into animation with a parody of My Ghost Friend.

Honestly a fan of dsand's stuff, super charming

After this Ill finish the Clean up animation for Sword Child 3 (Sorry for holding that off for so long)

ARTIST THAT I FW

I don't really talk about artist that I love, so here is a list of them with some links to art pieces of theirs that stand out to me

1 @Luis

Love Luis' stuff, his pixel art animations are so smooth. By far one of my Favs here

His Traditional stuff is also super cool

2 @MindChamber

Mc has always been a massive inspiration to me, he made me want to get better at rendering

He's been cooking with his Pico pins. Wish I could buy so, friggin awesome!!

3 @LazyMuffin

Yotam's content really motivates me to animate and write stuff, his animations are by far some of my favs on the site! Especially his birthday stuff

4 @Doki

Firth has been and will always be one of my favorite artist of all time, his creepy/surreal stuff is also a huge inspiration on alot of my traditional artwork

9 @PANCHAPOM

This person wont understand how obsessed I am with their art stuff!!! Their thick lines and colors are so beautiful.

10 @chluaid

Adam will always be one of my favs on this site. The fact that he made all his old Brackenwood stuff in FLASH is crazy, his work also got me more interested in animating VFX

My Friends

@CXlexes

His art (mainly his anatomy) is crazy good! So is his oc, way too cool dude.

@lucky4570

He mostly does traditional stuff of his characters. And tbh, love his original stuff. Would kill to see him put his stuff in a movie or comic

@Dotbutnewgrounds

Dot's art is a literal blessing, his style is soo cool.

@dankwoomy

Woomy's flash art actually goes pretty raw. I could literally eat his stuff. Would kill to see him cook in a professional art software!

@HyperCh1pTune

Chip's style is so fascinating, never seen anything like it ever. Love it so much

@SkeleMun

My Brain cannot comprehend how awesome Skele's stuff is. His rendering stuff is so awesome.

One of my personal fav's here. Her stuff feels so damn vintage. Love it

@Destri

Destri's new animated pixel stuff is super cool, he's improved so much

Other mentions (They have like nothing on their profiles cause they're pussies to post)

@sharkbox

@Catmanbutcooler

I could go on forever on what artists go hard, but I think I'll blow over the character limit lol

Gonna go back to being an artist now. I'll keep yall updated on stuff here and there

HI EVERYONE, Sorry I've been "inactive-ish" ads of recent. Have been relaxing from school and taking a break from animating (MAKING THE 17 MINUTE CC CARTOON JESUS)

GO WATCH IT IF YOU HAVEN'T

MORE CASTLE CRASHERS STUFF

About my CC toon, I plan on making 4 more in the future. They will each range from about 7-10 minutes in length hopefully.

Here are some things to take note of.

1. The 2nd episode will feature the Industrial Prince
2. The 3rd episode will Feature the Frost King
3. The 4th episode will Feature the Evil Wizard, Necromancer, Cyclops and Groom
4. the 5th episode will Feature Medusa

Ill probably start making them in about 2 or more months from now

SWORD CHILD 3

YEAH IM STILL DOING THAT! Again I just animated a 17 minute cartoon so I had put it on hold as of recent. Ill finish it this month hopefully

INCUBUS

Again Ive been physically writing incubus rather than digitally making it, so Ill make more digital versions of each chapter when I have less stuff on my plate

異世界から来たヒーロー: The Angel who came to save the world and over come her self and stuff

Another comic Ive started doing but will write more when I feel like it. Compared to incubus, this is episodic compared to serialized. Its about an Angel who gets summoned by a pathetic teenager who hopes to befriend her.

YOU CAN READ THE FIRST ISSUE HERE

Black as the Night

This won't be on NG but I have a file sitting around for an "amv-like" thing that I've written about a girl who steals a robot.

The song in it is an early version of Welcome To The Theatron Animatronique by Secret Chiefs 3

That's all I have to update y'all on. Ill make artwork here and there but Im also on Artfight rn. ATTACK ME

I plan on doing at minimum 1 attack a day. And here and there will be me working on SC3

COMMENTARY

Thanks for 1k btw, I GOTTA REACH IT HERE NEXT

IVE HAD ALOT OF IDEAS AND STUFF ON MY PLATE

Soo heres a list of things Im currently busy with

1 SWORD CHILD EPISODE 3

Child episode 3 is kinda like almost half way done. I dont really have a release date for it at the moment but it might be done next month some time if unless I have more time to work on it

2 CASTLE CRASHERS: GARDEN GUARDIANS

This is an interesting one Ive had on the back burner for a while.

A castle crashers cartoon that revolves around the Orange knight and Red Knight having to guard the King's vegetable garden while the home castle is away. But orange knight's smoking habits cause him to begin destroying the garden

Now that Ive become more comfortable with voice acting, I have the confidence to actually make this

Rn Ive been looking for voice actors for certain characters in here that will need voices that I cant do or am too lazy to do

After Child 3, this is the next animation project

3 INCUBUS CHAPTERS

Incubus is currently still being digitalized here and there. when Im feeling too lazy to animate Ill be working on a this comic

4 Probably a Pico Cartoon

I honestly have no idea yet. I plan on making another pico toon if I run out of original stuff to make

Ive been messing around with wanting to make pico look different for a new toon if I make one, so definitely look out for that

5 Fatigue of the Great one

Album Im making, theres no set genre for it but Ive been writing and recording tracks for it

The list isnt final and I may change some of the names

6 Stupid shit

I usually upload short surreal cartoons on youtube that i usually animate in 3 days, soo Ill randomly be making those here and there if I ever get ideas out of nowhere

currently making one about cloud watching

Thats mostly what I have on my plate right now

Ill upload some behind the scenes stuff for more important projects in this post on my patreon (LINK ON MY PROFILE)

soo look out for most of these

IM MAKING SWORD CHILD 3

It takes place during the morning in which the kid has to train to overcome the many obstacles on his journey

I was also able to find some pretty fitting public domain music for the episode and decided on vector BGs instead of Watercolor BGs

(The cartoon will feature the track Factory by CornandBeans)

I honestly dont know when this will be done (probably before May), but I hope the wait will be worth it

HERE ARE SOME SCREENSHOTS OF THE CURRENT 3 MINUTES OF FOOTAGE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED

If you havent seen child before, you can watch the first 2 episodes --->HERE<---

I’m currently making the second episode of Sword child

I can only work on it if I have nothing else to do irl since it’s the only project that I’ve kinda left alone for a bit, content wise

It’s currently about 3 minutes in length (tripled the first episode’s length) and may be longer, 5-6 minutes depending on how much I plan to still do here

It may release by late September or early October (not going to promise that)

HERES SOME SCREENSHOTS

So I uploaded my complete 6 minute long cartoon in celebration of picoday and TomFulp's birthday ( April 30th)

And it was enjoyed by Many so far ( Currently Daily 2nd and 4.30/5.00 on NG ) ( Currently 2k views and over 200 likes on Youtube )

In celebration of this, I'm gonna release the ANIMATION FILES for this

They work in cs5 and above that

it contains all the png images used in scenes 1 and 3, the flash files for scene 2 and scene 3 and the mp3s of the soundtrack used

If you haven't seen it, go watch that shit;
