I first joined Newgrounds this April. April 29/09. I can remember that day. I came to Newgrounds so exited to exhibit my first flash of many. I'm sure you may know it already. The very first version was blammed, and the only reviewer wasn't very helpful, so as you may think, that kind of surprised me. I didn't let that get me down though. I got back on my feet and kept going. That night I submitted a remake of that movie. It was blammed but it died with a little more of a better score, and finally, the very next Thursday, my first submission made it in to the public. Halloween Night, or as it was called then, an early trick or treater. It wasn't even Halloween. I was back happy again, although I was unhappy about the scores. I couldn't thank this more to than Sycther123. Anyways, moving on. After that I remade my other movies, to make sure they didn't get blammed, I submitted them one-by-one. The scores came out not-to-good, but I reassured my self by thinking that those were my older ones, and the newer ones could get better scores. Boy was I ever wrong... The first submission I submitted realtime was the Dark~Chicken189 in May, but it got yet another bad score. I was confused, baffled, or whatever you may call it. That is what introduced me to Audacity, by a reviewer named Mogget128723 (Who has a pretty cool sieries running, I suggest you check it out.) I worked, still submitting flash to newgrounds, and I still saw no improvement in the scores. One time although, I worked perposturously hard on a Music video synced to the song Nothing to Lose by Billy Talent. In the Month of June I came out with Just follow the clouds. One of the viewers who watched this movie, already a friend of mine was aevear. It caused him to create an account. ACHIEVEMENT. It didn't stop there though, I kept on submitting, scores still hovering around a 2.50. I tried making games like Tuning in... and I even based a flash off of a dream. (The show and tell show), Then came July... July was a sloooooow month for me. I don't know what happened, I think my hand might have skipped a beat, but then came August, and on clock day I submitted There might B time... AWESOME reviews FIRST score that was over a 3.00! ACHIEVEMENT! It didn't stop there though. My success rose to a measurable level in September! A 3-month project of epic perportions reached a level of deserves-an-award. Daily 10th for the movie F L i G H T. Best experience on Newgrounds ever. October was my birth month, I did submit a Flash for that, but then... that's when it came in to my life. On 10/10/09 I submitted A remix of my very first submission (Halloween Night), and It rose to a 3.2-something, but then, the horrible 0-bomber came, and with a mighty blow knocked the score of it, and all my other submissions down. Scores were decreasing like crazy, and I had no choice but to delete, I chose a sh*t load of the movies that were my worst, and BANG! deleted them, and that very night, the evil 0 bomber crawled back into his smelly pigsty. Tales of Deep, a movie that had got the most AWESOME REVIEWS EVAR, and 3 favorites was effected by the 0-bombing. My submission count lowered drastically. It wasn't a time to give up though. When November fell over, I was asked for the first time by a friend to animate something for him. The result? Brilliance. It got a 3.16. The year was coming to an end right there, so I created a Demo Reel for the year of 09. I could say it turned out quite well. That was pretty much it, except for a small Christmas Movie that got a 3.10.
EDIT: Oh yah, I forgot to say that about mid-june, I picked a random submission with a low score from the recently submitted list, and subscribe to that user, and watch him/her through out there time on Newgrounds, so when they become famous on Newgrounds you would know them well. Interesting right? The great submission I picked belonged none other than to lohrel21! His games were great already, so I supose you should go check them out.

So that wraps up my year. It was an exciting first year on Newgrounds. I went from an average score of 2.00 to an average of a 3.00.

My new years resolution (for NG only) is to get above a 4.00 in score.

Thank you for those of you who supported me! (especially you, kakunaman), and also Thank you to Channe lnfinity for letting me voice act for his movies! :)

Now to wrap it up for 09 here is a little picture that sums up the year

Hey Ngers! If you don't know this, I got an iPod touch this christmas! So yah. I'm currently typing this post using it. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Yah, so it's me again. I've been working on my new animation, planned to be the last of this year. Comming out Christmas Eve: (flaw

BIG EDIT: Art is redone, a better score it will get now, it will come out this thursday and I'M SO EXCITED!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I hungry for cookies right now. I love cookies.

Anyway, back on topic. I have just finished a movie, witch happens to be the very first movie that was done on a request. Pat on the Back! It is called "brilliance", and I'll be submitting it sometime soon.

EDiT:

I submitted it, and WOW, look at the score! Thank you for everyone who watched :), I deeply appreciate that.

-The Show and Tell Show - Not great, but still good, My longest one.
-There might B time - First flash to make it over 3.00!*
-Red Lion - Turned out to be a game, and then got trolled.
-Smartest choice ever - deleted do to zero bombers
-FLIGHT (and maby a trailer for it) - Got 10th place! First award!
-The Compition - deleted due to zero bombers again
-Halloween Night Remix - Remix of my first submission. Started out as a 3.16! ...but dropped rapidly to a 2.26, zero bombed for the first time, and got a (insert-curse-word) load of flames. "You're not good at flash animation" they say "you haven't improved at all" they say, but we all are to smart to figure out that they are just 2 fat 10-year-old kids in their parents basement!**
-Tales of Deep - Great reviews! Two Favorites! Again though, a very, very low score. WTF IS HAPPENING TO NEWGROUNDS!?!?

So yah, I followed my list pretty well, got an award high scores, popularity, but then I got hit by a zero bomber and then deleted a sh*t load of movies due to that wretched excuse of a human. I guess somebody was that stupid. Oh well, as they always say, forget about the scores, and keep moving forward. :(

In other news, I changed my icons to the movies I had left. No more "FLT" or "Rli" or anything like that, there are actual icons. Speaking of icons, My avatar is now smiling. Cheers!

* Done for clock day
** I'm not talking about everyone.

And now more of my drawings that you all seem to hate so much!

Tales of Deep is done, and ready to be released, but I'll be releasing it tomorrow, Just so you know.

Tales of Deep. This one is about 4 minutes long of an ongoing story that doesn't make any sense.

This time, I'm making my own music... well, only slightly. The sound track is my new audio submission
so check it out!

Soundtrack

Also, what do invisible mimes feel like?

I have one on my back that has a higher voting power than I do (witch means voting 5 every day won't work, and I don't know who he/she is!) How do I know it's not different people who are just voting their opinion? Reason one: I get (some) AWESOME reviews, OK? Reason two: I see a pattern in the scores: every day the scores of every one of my submissions go down, and stay there until the next day. So How do you get rid of them? PLEASE HELP!!!!

When someone votes on your content, they are given a choice of 1-5, with no description required.

When someone reviews it, they are given 1-10 choice, and a description why; a little bit better than the last time.

Now, for the first time ever. If you comment on THIS POST, and leave a review any of my flash of your choice. I will rate your content a 1-20, and give a detailed description - from me - why.

Now what are you waiting for?

Oh yah, and I don't review adult rated submissions; just not my type of content

It's a remix of my VERY FIRST submission. Ahhhh, I remember it. It got blammed 2 times, and was trolled, and when it actually barley made it, it got a review of 2 0s and a 7, but the 7 one was only voted that way because he was tiered of me posting it up over and over again. There was one guy though, a very nice person named Scyther123, the only person who was actually helpful in his review.

NOW AFTER MANY MONTHS OF PRACTICE (7, April - October)

PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE HALLOWEEN NIGHT FLASH REMIX!

Yes, I've made it carefully, with Newgrounds as my helper, and got 3 people to aproove it and tell what I need to improve on, and this fantastic elastic result will blow your mind out.

Remember it's a remix of my first submission, so treat it with respect!

(PS - The old version is 1rst submission but Newground's 493657th
