I don't post enoooough, I post too muuuch!

M&FS101 is coming along fairly nicely, I just wish I had a higher work-ethic. The amount of progress is adequate for how long I've been working on it, about 2 or 3 weeks approximately, and there's exactly 1 minute of animation done out of a 4 minute episode (I assume it will be 4 minutes. I don't do table reads so length is usually determined by script length or just wingin' it.) I expect this to be done pretty soon, at least before my summer is over. I haven't really gotten too much work done in the past 4 days, mainly because of my birthday and also I'm a huge slacker. But I hope to get this out soon and hopefully start MGR 11 before I go back to school.

As for episodes MGR 5 & MGR 6...eh...I'm kind of sitting on them at the moment. I mean, I've gotten the Feats of Strength tracks I needed (Kudos to Ed Atlin), I have just been sitting on these episodes for about a year almost but, guh. I just don't think they're very good, and I'm afraid the idiots who haven't been brought up to speed that MGR is a show that gets better progressively each episode will critique it way too harshly. Maybe I'll just disable to option to critique them when I do EVENTUALLY put these eyesores online.

Here is a screenshot just a couple seconds from the first 60 seconds of M&FS101. I love this face.

Presenting Production Progress!

Here's some screenshots from Michelle & Feo episode 1. I don't even know why I'm posting screencaps this early, there's barely any footage done at all. I mean I just started, but I suppose some people might want to see the basic look of the show compared to My GOD, Robots! Enjoy.

My GOD, Robots! Season 2 List

Well, for the few of you that thought My GOD, Robots! was over at episode 10...prepare to have your socks blown off at g-force speeds at the news...That there will in fact, be a second season of My GOD, Robots! Unfortunately it is the, last season. But I promise I will make this show go out with a bang, here's the episode list of Season 2 so far. I wont post spoilers just yet or ever, because that could ruin the anticipation:

11. "Number 11, With Jokes, and a Soda"
12. "The Toaster That Loved...Something Stupid"
13. "The Female Episode About Girl Nonsense"
14. "Behind The Scenes of My GOD, Robots!"
15. "Prepare to Be Niced Through The Face"
16. "Lost In House" Part 1 of 3
17. "The Fist of Incomprehensible Compulsiveness" Part 2 of 3
18. "Return to Normalcy Island" Part 3 of 3
19. "Pirate Encounters of The Whiny Kind"
20. "One-Time Villians, Assemble!"
21. [TBD]
22. [TBD]
23. "Try To Cope"
24. "Change"
25. "Goodbye to Robots"

Some of these episodes I am super anxious to do, and this long list should keep me busy for awhile. So I think music videos will have to wait for awhile. But hey, that's My GOD, Robots! and Michelle & Feo to whet your pallette. Enjoy the future episodes of both series.

There's a sparkler wedged in my eye.

Well...well...wool. With My GOD Robots! Season one almost officially over, I say almost because I still have to put up episodes 5 and 6, I can pursue other projects during the post-season break. My main priority is a new show I have created called "Michelle & Feo". I know some people may know the project from DeviantART, I'm just reminding the circle-jerks who visit this blog but dont comment. The show is basically going to be a writers wet-dream, non-canon scripts. With a show like Michelle & Feo in production while My GOD, Robots! is also in production, I can hone my writing skills to better myself at jokes and scripts that dont require as much continuity. I hope that this will in result make my future scripts for My GOD, Robots! better, but I doubt it will. Heh.

Currently the show has it's first episode written, finalized, and I am now animating the Title Sequence. Right now my big problem is that I have all my lines recorded, but I'm waiting on female voices...So I guess animation will have to wait a little bit until I get them. The show will probably have little to no storyboards simply because, I think the show will be less of a challenge. But I'll see when I actually begin the animation.

Here is a character card of the most up-to-date designs. Some of you may notice some few slight differences from the very first cast drawing I did, compared to this one. I've made Feo's hair a bit smaller, easier to animate. Big hair can be a problem especially with Jason from MGR. I've removed Kevin The Onion's nose, for some reason a nose on his design just seemed to distract me. Grundman's fur has been made a little bit lighter, and I tried to make him a little more cute; the fangirls who love furries will go nuts. Valerie (changed from Gloria) has been made a little more asthetically pleasing, in otherwords, more sexy. But it fits her character since she's constantly trying to make Feo hers. And last, Kristi. Uh, no adjustments have really been made, other than a few color changes he's pretty much the same.

Pimp That Snack.

Attetion internet recluses, check out this hilarious web satire. From me. MEEEEEEEE!

Killing Myself, Frame at a Time.

Oi boi. MGR sure is a show thats difficult to make. But nonetheless I have been working myself to death all this week on strenuous hand drawn animation that you all know and love from me. I will say this, it looks great. Right now I'm just exhausted from all of it that still has to be done. But no worries, not that much is left, about 60 seconds left approximately. In the meantime I reccommend buying Matt Wilson's Lost Episode and watching Niko Anesti's GEOWeasel, 2 cartoons infinitely better than mine in several areas.

Other updates:
In addition to the other music videos I had planned I am going to add yet another. Among the few in the list I will actually start, Till My Head Falls Off by They Might Be Giants joins the list. Its such a high energy song that just inspires me to go all out on animation. I have a very Shmorky-esque type of direction planned for it. This is a very hum-drum entry so I apologize, but then again...No one visits this blog. So who cares? Enjoy the drawing..

Andrew K Stupid Drawing Funtime!

Some of my favorite poses from a bit of animation I just finished in MGR 10: Season Finale.

Production Going According to Butt.

The post-hiatus animation status of MGR is coming along rather smoothly and I think I should be done very soon. There are exactly 4 pages of storyboard left out of...hundreds...that may sound like I dont have alot left, but the 4 pages left have really complex animation, that isnt onscreen for very long so thats the upside. In case any of you have forgotten this is a full 10 minute season finale. The show is not going to be over after this, it's just a conclusion of the first season. I hope that clears up any confusion that may have arisen in my time apart.

Other news...Music Videos. I don't know I started a video to Mr. Pants by Brendon Small awhile back but my style has changed a little so I don't know if people will be concerned with the art consistency, (This is the same issue with MGR 10) but I may finish it. Good news for all of you idiots who keep pestering me to finish the One Piece video, I'm going to be redoing it all and more, with the tablet instead of mouse so it will be even better than the old version. I plan to do videos to 1 or 2 Reel Big Fish songs, just because my friends say "I just HAFTA", 1 Less Than Jake video, 1 (more) Brendon Small song, and 1 Littlest Man Band song. That sounds like alot. And it is. Can I be sure I'll do them all? No. In fact I'll probably can like half of those, but these are just songs that I had very vivid animation ideas in my head while listening to them. Hopefully most of them will make it to animation.

The Foist Post.

Blogs have become a sensation that I will admittedly steered away from, same with Myspace, but like Myspace I caved into blogs apparently as well. So on with the entry.
This will be a blog mainly for my Flash productions and future projects. It should probably be updated fairly regulary, but don't count on consistent updates. I will have tons of goodies posted here that I wouldn't usually put up on DeviantART, such as animation previews, tests, and storyboards. I hope that you will all enjoy the Cherry Larvae Studios blog. Stay tuned for more treats.
