It's been a while since I made a serious news post that wasn't about sharks, Bart Simpson's penis, butt fuck sluts going nuts, candy, or Winona Ryder. I can be serious, you guys. Read on and see.
Okay, news. First thing: Me horribly trolling all of you with the promises of my new series. As if the post spiraling into a painfully predictable Bel-Air wasn't enough to tip you off, a lot of newgrounders were actually gullible enough to fall for this thing. Yikes! In case you were one of those peeps, here were the warning signs you missed...
1: The aforementioned fact that you guys got totally Bel-Air'd
2: I never pawn off my animating duties on other people. Seriously, how much of a scumbag do you think I am? ...Don't answer that. Anyway, as long as I'm putting crappy cartoons on newgrounds, I will always ALWAYS do ALL my own animating and art. The only thing I ever need help with is voices, and I've finally reached a good place with that.
...And lastly, all of you get this through your heads: I would never, not even with a gun to my head, EVER animate a series about "a bunch of college kids who get into wacky adventures and mix ups". Jeez dudes, give me some credit.
So anyway, if you're one of the ones who offered help, thanks but no thanks. It actually is pretty cool to think that a lot of newgrounders were so willing to lend a hand, though. The thought is appreciated. You guys rock.
...Anyway, on to Awesome Racer. Some of my more hardcore fans were kinda PO'd that I made a parody of something as opposed to making a cartoon with original characters. The story behind Awesome Racer is that I made it as a thank-you to Ego for agreeing to be my "voice bitch", as he puts it. The guy is dynamite, he does lines for pretty much anybody and he never complains, and he's incredibly professional. When WANAC got pulled, I felt bad because it was like Ego did all that work for nothing. So I made him a gift, it's as simple as that. It originally wasn't even supposed to see the light of day on the internet. I wasn't trying to "cash in" on the success of the awesome series or anything. So if you didn't like it, guess what? It wasn't intended for you.
If you're still waiting for something new, don't worry. I know it's been over a year since I made/released Jerry but I'll be putting something out shortly. And when I say shortly, I mean SHORTLY shortly.
Like, REALLY shortly shortly
