It's 6:55A at the moment, nothing unusual for me; and tis Madness Day, the day we've all been waiting for! Woohoo! Fantastical! BUT I sadly do not have an animation of my own to release nor a poster with the words Happy Madness Day, even the poster I DID have planned for today is not done (50%). 

I have however helped many people with sprites and the like, lost motivation but got it back, survived a hurricane, created 3 new artstuffs, helped with 2 animations, and am almost finished with 2 sprite sheets! (I will try to get the sprite sheets done as soon as I can.)

Its been 2 years since I joined my first Madness related Skype group and since then my art, animation and sprites have gotten way better, Ive also got to meet a lot of good people like @Jsoull, @Swffr, with lesser known artists who are still trying like @thesupermecha637, and got lots of help from other peeps like @Darksignal. 

Comparison: (Top) 2016 Shocker (OC) and my third ever made character, (Bottom) 2018 Shocker

Thankyou for reading and have'a Happy Madness Day! (2018)

Update: I do have a submission actually for MD: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/shootdacheese/md18

Update 2: I am going to reanimate something i have already started animating: Madness: Initialization

Update 3: 101 FANS, damn its windy here.

A friend of mine, Florence, is visiting me today and'll be staying for 2 days or so. Got notified a couple days ago, hopefully we will have a good time...

WHAT??! WHO'RE THESE MUPPETS?

P.S. @BizWuzzZuzz look angles!

Allo! So I've been silent for a long while and recently (a month or 2 ago?) i got my MOTIVATION BACK! :D So meanwhile I have been spriting and have a lot of progress done in such a short time.

For Example: NEXUS IS HERE!

I have sprited all of the main troops (besides G0L3Ms) of the NEXUS Core and I bring them as offering to you (person reading this and who can animate or whatever the stuff) in hopes that these'll be used... because most likey I wont use them. :v

SWF: https://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/44d474647c3eb42e09f664c045afbf5e

Anyway, I might work on the MERC faction more or do more work on a little animation im working on, nobody knows. 

Enjoy!


...I hope....

So i havent been posting updates on stuff or really chatting at all, same on the madness discord servers im on, because ive been gaming alot ever since I heard that FAR CRY 5 was to be released in 7 weeks (currently 3 weeks now). Since then ive been gaming rather than spriting and animating, and for that im sorry. I do now know when I will start spriting and stuff again- deffinitely durring this year! -but I will mentino some updates on progress:

Solo Movie "Initialization": 19% (?)

HL2 Sprite Project: 1% :/

Next Gun Sprite Sheet: 30%

Motivation Scales: 78%

As for art, i am unable to transfer pencil art to my iPad because my ipa screen wont respond to my touch so i will probably have to get a new LED for it. I do have art I am willing to share and i will try to find a way to show it via my new laptop's camera. Not to mention, I got a new laptop :D. So, games: Ive been busy playing Counter Strike Global Offensive and just started Rainbow Six Seige; and when FC5 is released, I'll be playing the fuck outa that. If there are any questions, i am most likely reachable through Discord (ShootDaCheese/StrangePyro#7254) or Steam (The Strange & Confused Pyro). I may update this more later so yea J: (lip jutting out).

Proooooobably should've mentioned this 4 weeks ago but I lost my computer 4 weeks ago (give or take), and i got it back yesterday! Yay! Not to mention that I got some plans for some big things...:

The HALF - LIFE Sprite Project:

I will be making sprites of many Half Life and Half Life 2 characters in the Madness style (Including angles :,|). I will also throw in weapons and possibly some objects.

AN ANIMATION???

I've been feeling like making an animation describing about a little character of mine's start in the Nevadean wasteland.

=================================================================================

IN OTHER NEWS

I feel like ive made enough guns recently to release another gun pack. Ive also started making low-res versions of the gun sprites I make. What I mean by low-res is that along with really detailed sprites of guns, I will make a copy of them that doesent have as many details as normal- normal meaning all my other guns. I will work on making low-res versions of existing guns meanwhile. Later today I will release the 3rd Custom Gun Sprites with a few low-res'.

==UPDATE==

Here are the links to the third Custom Guns Sprite pack:
