Luis's News

Posted by Luis - September 27th, 2008


I had a small and rare get together last night with my designer friends and we were talking about halloween and shit. At some point someone brought up that they heard about an independent french animation/film called Fear(s) of the Dark that's supposed to be showing at a small theatre in the city on halloween. I was intruiged, so I secretly took a mental note and looked into it when everyone had left.

The concept of it is pretty cool, its basically 6 artists telling these scary stories... they arent really related in any way and the styles are all vastly different and it made me think of how cool it would be to do that sometime. It reminded me of Newgrounds Jam Series.

I'm always kind of frusterated at the very basic level of collaborative projects in NG, it'd be cool to create projects like this where rather than base it on a Linkin Park song you just let people loose around a very broad theme. I dont necessarily think you'd have to create a full fledged feature film out of it like the animators of FotD but even like making a collection of 6 scary trailers would be neat.

Anywho I just thought I'd share that. No blatant plug to my own projects for a change! Tom does that plenty on his own.

Last year at about this time of year, I ran a DIY Munny Competition, it was a ton of fun and I thought it'd be cool to do it again with a different kind of figurine.

So its back for another go. You can check out the freshly made thread HERE

Like last year, you can Buy Your Own or you can win one by proposing your design on the thread at the Art Forum.

More updates on that later.

I SHOULD be wrapping up the Sketchbook Tour, next month which is part of the reason I felt safe to kick this one off.

Lastly, I'll be back in London for London meet 4 on January 17th. This is shaping up to be a good one as Tom will actually make the trip over as well as long time staffie LilJim. If you're in the area you should come onnn out.

Last lastly, I'll be in Iceland next month for NG Iceland meet. I dont think anyone actually lives in Iceland so it means im just going on vacation for a change.

DIY Figurine Design Contest is Back

I was stuck indoors most of the weekend thanks to whatever hurricane that was. I suppose that was a blessing in disguise considering I managed to finish the photo hub for the London Meet that took place last weekend. I've linked to it below. I'll be adding some video and other photos to it as I get them but its at a good enough state where it can go live.

In other news, I'm working on the Sketchbook Tour this week, mostly scanning the 110 entries I've gotten back. fun times. I've also got a shit game I'm also working off and on, on. K, thats all.

Well I'm finally back home after a brutal flight back from what has grown to become my favorite ng event of the year.

I'll punch in a legit breakdown of the whole experience once I manage to gather up the hundreds of photos that need gathering.

In the meantime all i can say is thanks for everyone that made it out. This whole ordeal went off about as smoothly as I could have ever even imagined. Its kind of amazing how large this event has grown in the 3 times its been beta tested.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Posted by Luis - August 25th, 2008


Rather than talk about all my flash movies that I SHOULD be working on. I'd rather more or less hype up this week for the site. It's rare when theres so much going during the same week anyway.

This week Tom takes NG over to the west coast aka Seattle, for the Penny Arcade Expo. Meanwhile i'll be going in the opposite direction gathering NG personel over in Europe for London Meat 3.

Both events seem like a good finishing touch on the summer of 2008.

Not only that, but the heavily anticipated Castle Crashers comes out on Wed.

My flight out happens to leave that same day but I was planning on taking the day off and downloading a copy and playin on X-Box Live with fellow NG personalities before I head out. My Gamertag is LuisNG. Feel free to addz0rz.

One day i'll have news thats actually worth reading! I promise.

Having fun going back to school!!! Lol.

Why not pick up one of them new Black Angry Faic shirts from the store?

I wish those were around back when i was in middle school... nothing could express how i felt going back to school more than a big angry faic in the middle of my shirt.

Okay not really. But I was due for a fp post, Comic Con is waaaay over now. Anyway theres a few things going on.

First and foremost is that Sketchbook Tour 2008 entry turn-in phase, ends on August 24th.. if you have yet to get around to visiting your postal office.. now would be a good time if you are part of that project. That goes especially for international users. It takes roughly two weeks in some instances for it to make it to my hands. Plan Accordingly

I made some headway on getting the online version started while entries trickle back in. The neat thing about this year is that the shirts will be synced to the NG Store so if you so desire you can just get them through the new and improved store once they become available (and the new store is available for that matter). My guess is there will be a relatively low count of shirts that become available on the first run. I do this mainly cause the sketchbook tour itself is of limited scope and i dont want a ton of shirts sitting in my basement. Specially ones i cant fit into -________-

Speaking of which, I want to clear out the shirts from 2007, if you want one PM me, I'm going to get them out at $10.00 which I'll absorb the shipping on... so in some cases what youre paying me might cover the shipping. Its not really for profit anyway, i just want them out. I'm sure you've seen Tom and a few people wear em on a whole bunch of occasions. They are kinda rare and once these are gone they are gone foreverrrrrerererrr. Wether you participated or not I think is moot at this point, if you want to represent the community spirit of NG or you just want an NG-based shirt that not everyone already has then knock yourself out. I only have like 6 left so PM me with what size you need and I'll tell you if i have it.

That asside (yes i know i mispelled it), I wanted to also use this to plug two NG based events going on at different parts of the globe coincidentally on the same dates (thanks Tom for bumping heads with me)

You got Penny Arcade Expo going on August 29-31st in Seattle, Washington. Tom and his goons will be unveiling the MUCH anticipated (3 years anticipated) Castle Crashers XBox Live Game.

It's been a special journey watching that game come together at all sorts of NG-based gatherings that ive had a chance to attend to and I can confidently say that game is spectacular and has come a long way.

SIMULTANEOUSLY on the other side of the globe, I'm taking the NG caravan to the UK for the 3rd annual NG London Meet 3. Thats going August 30th, for more info click that link. This has grown to become one of the largest non-convention gatherings and I always look forward to it and in fact this year was a rare time when it happend two times on the same calendar year. (the first one was just my birthday party)

I assume Tom will have the stickam going for PAX, and i'll try and get another going for London meet so youll be able to experience third hand, two very different NG based events going on at the same time.

Lastly, I was going to bring back Pass My Flash this week, but its been too much shit going on and I may be wearing myself thin on this multitasking bullshit so for the sake of getting some sort of control back in my life, I'm going to just wait until September on that.

No Artist-of-theMonth this month either, again I'm in super busy mode doing a bunch of other shit and i'll have to make up for my routine tasks next month I promass.

for the sake of showing what the sbt 07 shirts looked like heres a pic of Fulp wearing one.

UPDATED photos and webcam screenshots 08.01.08

I've been in the process of trying to get a hold of as many Comic-Con pics as I could and consolidate them into one place. Much like I did for NG Mod Meat 2008. Anyway with over 100 photos and a few videos, I felt like it was good enough for showtime!

If you'd like to donate anything, drop me a PM or comment below. You can check back on it occasionally and you might see a new photo or two, or maybe a new video.

The webcam area is not yet enabled. I'm still in the process of collecting screen caps from the Stickam feed. ENJOY THIS VIDEO from the Behemoth party. Blind folded drunk people and a 2x4... I particularly like how it went from laughing and having a good time to terror and screaming. lmao.

I'm still quite tired from a jam-packed weekend over at San Diego's Comic Con. I think this was probably my favorite of all my past appearances in San Diego. It was still just a blur, but I felt like I was able to leave with a greater understanding of other artists on the site which is what I wanted all along.

Much thanks to Tom and them for that Behemoth Party on Friday night. It had a really great ambiance.

I'm in the process of gathering pics and shit, so if you have any feel free to drop me a PM or comment below so I can dump them in with the rest of the ones that I've got and gotten from others. I'm hoping to have a photo gallery ready by the weekend. May be overly optimistic, we'll see.

Next Stop: London
