Ok, yeah...I know it's been over a month, maybe 2 months, since we've updated. We're assholes and got lazy again. Fuck me! Fuck us! Fuck everything we ever did!
But I digress...I just wanted to let everyone know that there IS newness coming, so just hold up and wait. I'm sorry that I haven't been animating too much lately. Work is shit...work takes my time away. But that's no excuse. Anyways, I'm working on a new cartoon. Mychael's cartoon of badassness that we all thought would never come. If I get on it, it'll take me another week or so to make. I got basic animation tests done. I just wanted to see how some of it would turn out, so the actual cartooning part of it hasn't really started. but it will!! I just have to get some sounds, and do some screaming for it. Then i'll really get started.
Also, new site design. I suppose charlie's wasn't as great as we'd hoped. half of our audience (maybe 2 people) complained that the main frame was too small for watching some of the cartoons. this problem has been fixed, for the most part. I'm going to ask a chosen few for their opinions before i get the rest done.
On the new site, there'll be a lot more to come for. I'm adding a radio show (THAT I WILL DO!!). I got all the bugs out, and now i can do it. perhaps weekly. There will also be photo albums, perhaps a place where fans and I will post poetry, I'm going to try and get ben to do reviews on shit such as music and movies, and i'm going to have some happy fun stuff like where i draw/trace pictures of you for fun. like the way the "staff" pictures are. people seem to like those. As for downloads, yeah...we got those coming along. desktop images and AIM buddy icons, are all we have going for us right now, but i'm sure some people will request some downloads for the "misc downloads" section of the new site.
That's about all I can think of right now. OH! I'm making a spin-off of John Perazza's "Stab the Man". That'll be up on the site in a few days. Just so people can get updated on all this shit before it pops up and slaps you in the face.
Ok, thanks to anyone who actually read this. I'm out!

so i had an idea for a cartoon. i was out with jessica last night and we were eating at carls junior and playing football with bits of napkin, and this old guy came and sat down at the table next to us. He had me chuckling to myself right from the start, because he was wearing a cheesegrater hat with this big freaking feather in it. so im sitting there trying to eat and trying not to laugh, when he stands up to go to the bathroom. he was wearing such short shorts that when he stood up his boxers stuck out the bottom. fucking white shorts with red polka dots! okay...so now im practically choking on my famous star. then he comes back and im doing pretty good...cuz he was gone for awhile, so i got most the laughter out. he sits down and his food comes. He takes the first bite...and rips the biggest fart ive ever heard come out of an old man. the harder i tried not to laugh the more i did. in the end me and jessica was both laughing and crying at the same time. so i figured if i could make that into a cartoon, it would makes you all laughs. look for it in the future.

There's some newness coming. Umm...I feel like crap right now, though...so I don't know how all of this is going to sound, or how i'm going to write all this out. See? I'm not even typing right right now. Fuck, here it goes:
So, I'm working on a cartoon that is going to have lots of badass stuff in it! actually, just one thing. I was talking to John, and i asked him to do a few lines. that's about the only super good thing that's going to be in it. i'm glad that he accepted. he actually motivated me to start up the project again. HE BETTER FOLLOW THROUGH WITH OUR DEAL! I WANT A NEW SHORT CARTOON, JOHN!!! Sorry if that sounds demanding.
also, I'm trying to get charlie's ass in gear so he can finally make a new cartoon, or a 3 word cartoon. he needs to do more animating, dammit.
what else? oh! Charlie and I were talking about having more pages on the site, more sections and such. we're thinking a downloads page for wallpaper and such for you fans, if we have any. and i want a reviews page. that would be awesome. right now, i'm working on a review of the Erik the Juiceman DVD. I'll post that when i'm done.
I think that's all for now. I want to thank everyone that has signed up for the newsletter. it makes me happy. you will all be getting an update as soon as we here at Viraxo know what the fuck's going on.

you know what... i got to thinking tonight. i was thinking about people who sue other people who download music. and i pretty much thought "fuck them". I dont get it...what good does it do to bankrupt someone when all they wanted to do was hear YOUR music. If thats how you treat fans then you dont desreve them. fucking metallica...they have enough money to buy a small country...but they flip out when they lose a couple bucks to some kid who wanted to download some songs.

[20 Jul 2003|06:45pm] |
HAAAAPPPPPPPPPYYYY!!!
So, we were mentioned on the Erik the Juiceman site the other day. It was so fucking amazing to even have him put a link to the site on there. You have no idea how excited I was. I mean, John is pretty much the reason why I started animating in the first place. If it wasn't for Erik the Juiceman, I wouldn't have been all, "shit. that looks like fun!!" So, it was like Jesus touching your penis as you poke your fingers into a virgin's vagina. Thank you, John.
Also, I started a new cartoon which might be turned into a series with James and Alex. We got so little done, but we got the basic idea of the show down. The animation is so horrible, and the drawings suck even more, but I think that's what we were shooting for. The more lame, the better. Or so I think. But what does it matter what I think?
I'm now bored and am downloading stuff to make my own music. Maybe I will release some cool tunes on the site if they're worth your time. Umm...Misfits are playing on my winamp playlist and they're making me sleepy. Imma end this now. Bye bye.

well, i requested the next three word cartoon from admiral ken ken. being the gracious commanding officer that he is, he let me have it. i chose my three words from the list and got to work...and nothing came out. I cant get into flashing. But i have been getting into other things as of recent. ive been thinking about going over this comic thing that the admirla and i talked about, even went as far as drawing a little. Thought about maybe some pictures, like a gallery deal. im sure the admiral will shoot that one down with his talk of bandwidth and stuff. Maybe bringing back the quote of the week. I crave something new, im really eyeing this comic thing...but i cant draw for beans. so in conclusion... id just like to ask all yous guys for some ideas for newness on the site.

i just realized that im an idiot. here i am working on ways to increase traffic to the site by making a new site, well starting it and getting lazy half way through and having smelly amiral ken ken finish it. But anyway, i just noticed, that while we may have increased traffic, we wont notice, because i left off a button to click on for the message board. I guess since no one ever used it i just didnt remember to put it on. Admiral ken ken should have caught that one, being an admiral and all.

I have vanquished the infiltrating organisms and i am the better for it!!! Newness has been seriously delayed...im not entirely at fault for this. I feel i can announce with confidence that newness will be here by thursday, unless of course i die or my arms fall off. Please be patient with me, im terribly lazy, just ask my mom.

Apparently my body has been invaded by some mysterious organisms that are hell bent on destroying me. My body is doing an admirable job of fighting them off, but there have been some casualties. Im nearly certain the little beasties have ruptured my right eardrum, and they have ravaged my throat. Normally i wouldnt be sharing all this with you but among the other casualties was the release date for all the yummy newness. I had the 23rd plannedish, but now im thinking the 26th (shhhh dont tell a lot of people incase i have to push it back again).
Anyway, i will do my best to expell these little nasties from my meat sac, and then get back to finishing the newness.

| Contest!! |
[21 May 2003|09:46pm] |
Word Word!!
Imma enter this AFI contest they have going on with the whole "MAKE YOUR OWN AFI VIDEO IN FLASH!!" thing. I figure it would be a good project and I'll put it up on the site when i'm done. The reason i'm posting this is because it'll take me quite a while to make, so there won't really be anything new from me, except the weekly dealies we'll have going on.
hahaha...i doubt i'm going to win, i just want a project that'll help with some skills i be workin' on. i need some mad drawing skills and this will help so so so much.
anyways...i'll keep you all updated.

[13 May 2003|04:13am] |
i guess i'm the admiral, since i outrank charlie.
anyways, just letting everyone know how the new cartoon shizzy is coming. 1 new 'misc' type cartoon, 2 new '3 word title' cartoons, so that's 3 new cartoons for Kenny in all. of course, i'll only be releasing the 1 new 'misc' cartoon the day we re-launch, which is hopefully soon. better be soon!
i'm also hoping charlie will have a new one for the re-launch so it's like, "yay! 2 new cartoons for us!" and you guys will be all happy. but you say, "what's this? this means no new cartoons for quite some time now! we know these guys!"
well that's where you're wrong! because we'll have the weekly 3 word cartoons! YAY!! that's right, weekly! so everyone will have a reason to visit the site every week.
also, the 3 word cartoons rely on YOU the viewer to e-mail us and give us titles. we'll have more info on that as soon as the site launches again. I already have 2 or 3 more titles that i'm probably going to make into cartoons thanks to Graeme and Caleb.
Oh, the reason why i was posting! I'm working on a new cartoon, the one i mentioned i was going to start over and over but never did. well, it's looking pretty good and i only have the title done. i give it another 6 days of production before it's totally done. lots of stupid detail has to be put into it, plus i need voice actors and that's about it really.
I've also been preparing for the re-launch with ads, and MELISSA is such a badass, that she's even making flyers and putting them in internet cafes! that's just freaking radass! well, people on the AFI board will soon see my ad and hopefully they remember what it's from and go, "holy shit! i 'member dat shit!" and they go just because it was funny and they'll see how much we improved and shit their pants. of course, that's the desired effect.
it's almost 4:30 and i'm not in bed yet. i think i'll go work on the cartoon some more because i love to do it and i love to hear peoples' reactions to the toons.

After a lengthy vacation on the planet work-and-school-eat-my-time-like-badgers i have returned to the viraxo. Things are very much unchanged except for our fanbase, it seems to have grown by 1, which is an improvemnt over our previous record high of zero.
Id like to take this time to add, i have not been entirely lazy while i was away. Stay tuned for some exciting newness...i wint say a date, because im lazy and theres not a release date i havent pushed back yet, but if newness isnt here by the end of may kenny will stab me in the face repeteadly.
Does kenny out rank me now? I must look into this.

| WEEEE!! NEW CARTOON!! |
[29 Apr 2003|02:52am] |
That's right, Suckas! I just finished a "3 Word Cartoon". I don't think i posted anything about this yet. But i started one and finished one tonight, and i think it turned out pretty well.
So anyways...Graeme came up with the greatest idea when he came to visit. he thought i should take the whole "give me three words." idea to the next level and start asking any fans out there to e-mail me 3 word titles...and from those 3 words, i make a cartoon. tonight, i came up with 3 words myself and made a good 30 second cartoon. the title..."Sattle the Compass". i found this to be a great idea and i'm already going to start a new one tomorrow. then probably get to work on that one cartoon i've been talking up for the past 2 months or so.
so...yeah. after that second "big" cartoon is done...i'm probably going to re-launch the site and show everyone what's up. and maybe let EVERYONE know about this 3 word dealy and get a new e-mail account just for those. i hope a lot of people participate and i can just make silly cartoons and such.
oh, not only will i be making those, but in the meantime, i will make other, longer, cartoons. the 3 word cartoons are just sort of a side project. i want to start lots more side projects so there can be so much more to the site. i hope everyone feels that's a good idea as well.
well...that's all for now. i hope everyone's as excited as i am about all this.
|
|
| Oh, They will be finished! |
[13 Apr 2003|02:56am] |
So, i was just going through my old "Flash" folders and i came across a lot of unfinished projects that charlie and i started a LOOONNNNGGG time ago and were too lazy to get to the difficult parts. it would be a breeze after all that shitty stuff. but, i guess we felt it better to put it off.
Well, why i'm updating this now is because i feel that it's Kenny's time to shine! i dunno what i meant by that. Anyways, Kenny is finally going to finish one or two of these projects because they were really great ideas with lots of cool shit in 'em. I mean...bringin' back the ZMS!! that's going to be fuckin' hardcore shit, man. not really, but still!! from what i remember about this idea, it was going to be kickass with some good music! Blood Brothers and Welcome to Your Life!! that's some good shit right there. Should be good...check for updates on that.
Umm...it's also time to make-over this journal. It's making me depressed with its...white and black and grey "ugh-ness". i will make it nice and pretty for all of you in just a few minutes. those who check this journal a lot will go "THANK GOD!" and the others will go, "this is fucking lame" and i will say, "shizzy, B! The dankest dank walked in and he was all, 'Daagggg yo!'" then i'll probably eat a twinking and/or cupcake, drink a coke, and read some more of High Fidelity. Good book. Check it out.
*EDIT*
On second thought...I say "fuck it" to making the journal pretty. I'm just changing the colors so it's a hell of a lot easier to read. at least some of you will thank me for that.

| Just another update |
[09 Apr 2003|09:55pm] |
I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on with me. I haven't been up to much animating because, well...drawing with my mouse really pisses me off and it's very discouraging when something you have in your mind just doesn't come out right on the computer screen. I yell and I scream at the top of my lungs, but in the end, i just have a soar throat and a bunch of scribbly lines on the screen.
But, I have a savior...by the name of Melissa. she is helping so so so much with production the rest of you wouldn't be able to wrap your minds around it. oh, you can try...but in the end, it will destroy you. your minds will implode and appear at the other side of the universe and all your self-awareness will just disappear. this is what death is.
so, I will update you all, perhaps monday or tuesday of next week and let you know what the hell's going on and why Melissa is such a radtastic girl. so, bye bye for now!

Wow...it's been a while since i've updated, and i'm sorry, no new news on the new cartoon i said i'd be working on. just showed the storyboard to ben and charlie and they really seemed to think it was funny. so i need to get on it and make the fucking thing.
anyways...the real reason i was posting was because Mike approached me about making an animated Warriors video. i'm still thinking about it, so no one get their hopes up, or even say, "that's fucking lame." but i chose the song i would do and already wrote out the timeline. i just need to start hand-drawing out the band and maybe come up with some ideas for the video. then i will start it out and see if i can actually follow through with it. if the animation totally sucks, of course i'm going to say, "fuck, man...this shit isn't worthy to have your music to go along with it." because, well, the warriors are by far my favorite hxc band out there. just something about them that makes me get all happy and dancey.
anyways...i will keep you updated on this project, seeing as how i would need to finish it as soon as possible.

| Storyboarding |
[04 Mar 2003|10:59pm] |
Yeah, sorry that i didn't update this on saturday like i said i would. I don't know what i've been doing the past few days. anyone that i chat with online knows that i've been staying up all night and sleeping during the day. i think that's kind of weird, even for me.
but now to the work that i've been doing: I just finished storyboarding the next of the cartoons of the bunch. and i will only need two voice actors. those i already have picked and they have both agreed. those two are Zed and Caleb. Woo Hoo!! i should start drawing it by...friday or so. i don't know...my mother got it in her head that my room needed painting, so the computer isn't in there anymore. i'm out in the kitchen typing this. that's ok, though...i'll still start drawing the basic things asap. i will keep updating as i go. perhaps i'll even update you all on my room being redecorated. eh...probably not.
|
|
| YES, YES, YEEESSSSSS!!! |
[28 Feb 2003|02:41am] |
Hahahaha...That's right! I finally finished that goddamn cartoon!
As I watched the finished product, I realized it wasn't that great. I mean, sure it was funny...to me. I don't know how everyone else will take it. Honestly, I really don't care what other people think. Sure, it would be great if everyone likes it, but I highly doubt it will happen. Oh well.
So, now I'm going to start writing and storyboarding a cartoon with an all too familiar character. At least, I think he's a badass character. So does Caleb. Caleb's a badass and will do some voice acting for it. I'm also looking for more people to do it. I'm trying to get Zed...but that guy's prolly gonna blow me off for no apparent reason. And everyone else is all, "nah, bitch...i anin'ts got no mic." I got that way too much last night while looking for someone to do a line for my now finished cartoon. Hahaha...I eneded up having a girl's mom doing it. I thought that was great. But enough with the side-trackedness. The new cartoon shall start production as soon as I get the storyboards done. I will start those tomorrow. So I should have an update by Saturday on that whole thing.
Also, Grant and I have been talking for the past few months about coming together on a cartoon. We already have an idea and most of it thought up...we simply just have to put it on paper. We'll also need one or more people to do some voice acting on that one. Well, just one. But I'm sure I'll get someone around here to do it.
So that's about all the updates I have for the cartoons for right now. Like I said before...I'll have some more updates on saturday.

| I'm lazy as shit... |
[24 Feb 2003|07:47pm] |
Yeah, I pretty much haven't done any work on the cartoon since my last entry. That is...until today. I've been waiting on (Badass) Leslie to do a line for it. I know that's such a shitty reason to halt production, but...hey...i'm a shit-head. Well, she has yet to do it, but i started work on the 'toon anyways. I have one scene done, and about 6 to 8 more to go. Shit, now i want to listen to that song.
but yeah, i'm getting close to finishing this one. so go me! i'm also starting to get people to do voice acting in up-coming cartoons. i'm tired of doing all the characters myself. when i get the next cartoon written out, i'm going to start asking people. so be prepared!!

[18 Feb 2003|12:24am] |
Well...i got home around 2 or 3 pm today. that was a freakin' good week at charlie's. hahaha...lots of pictures to prove it. i just don't know if anyone wants to see 'em.
anyways...i did do a bit of work for the cartoon today. i pretty much have all the basic shit drawn out. now, i need to get the sound prepared, then i could finish up with any last minute drawings i need. such as mouths and...yeah, that's about it. then animation will begin. that'll take me...tomorrow to get the sound. animation another few days. so, i'll keep you all posted.
Shizzout!
