HEY KIDS! It’s time for another VG Flash! Yay me! AND YAY YOU! For any newcomers who might be reading this, VG Flash is a celebration of the history of gaming. A celebration that–like all celebrations for all occasions around the world–involves making cartoons about a knife-wielding tempura shrimp and a flying blueberry. This time around, they meet a giant, demonic, skeletal pterosaur. “Aww, how adorable! I bet this cartoon is simply precious! I also now feel an undying urge to send you all of my money and build a 53-foot-tall bronze statue of you outside of my home or place of business!” Why thank you, entire population of Earth! You’re too kind!

… anyway, the cartoon’s under the cut.

Well guys, I’ve been tossing this around in my head for awhile. I’ve decided to work on a tiny comic idea for awhile until I have enough to show my local newspaper. I doubt they’ll pick it up but who knows maybe a Pennysaver magazine would pick it up?

Anyway video and finished product after the break.

Sooo yeah I was just over at my moms house and she mentioned her gutters being full of ice…

the more i looked at her roof the more i felt i needed to jump off of it

so I attempted to take a sled up there but sadly, the snow was too light and deep for the sled to actually move

so i did the next best thing…i just hurled myself off

note:  don’t try this at home, if you do, i’m definitly not responsible for your stupidity…and i’m going to laugh at you if you or your parents call me from the hospital :p

Sorry for the long delay, so many roadblocks kept this video from getting done. My hard drive failed me a couple of months ago, I lost hours upon hours of editing and work on the DVD. I also lost a lot of footage…GRRR. Luckily I still had some video on my camera. The version embedded below is basically raw and unedited, sorry for that. I figured the release had been delayed enough that I should just throw up what little I have . We will not be selling this in our store like I had planned because of the lack of polish.

In the future I’d like to record the behind the scenes of another marathon and be able to do a DVD to the quality I had envisioned.

A lot of video quality loss happened when being transferred to the website. Hopefully I will get around to uploading a much better quality version to our youtube account.

Well it’s just a few days until the marathon, so I figured I should show the promo cartoon I did for it. Here’s VG Flash #26: Snowboard Cross!

Snowboard Cross is based on “DK’s Snowboard Cross,” aka “DK Summit” from Mario Kart Wii. I was trying to go for some simpler shapes, since the frame-by-frame stuff I was doing with Raccoon City was hurting my hand. It’s a simple little short, but I think it’s cute anyway. I got a new version of Flash after this, so hopefully I can experiment with some weird new stories in the coming year!

And here we are: the last VG Flash of the backlog and this month’s cartoon.  I’ve had to watch a lot of old-school cartoons. Even the good ones are nearly incomprehensible. Has anyone actually sat down and watched an old Betty Boop short? They’re like the dreams of a madman with severe head trauma. Many old cartoons also feature some kind of musical number, no matter how pointless, since back then people used them to promote songs.

FUN FACT: That old style actually has a name, and it’s “rubber hose” animation. The name comes from the fact that the characters’ limbs were usually tube-like and could bend anywhere. THE MORE YOU KNOW.

From here on out, the cartoon updates will be much more sparse. But have no fear! Wil and Zee will still show up quite regularly in various ways. I gots me some plans, I does! Anyway, I hope everyone has a nice day tomorrow. Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving, but I hope you international folks have a great day too!
