I seem to give really contradictory unhelpful information about what I'm going to be working on next, so have another contradictory and unhelpful guide to the things that I'll be working on next.
What is coming up.
2009
*A music video for an awesome band that I've never worked with before. The rest is a secret!
2010
*Valentine's Day 2010
*SuperVillain V
*Empire of Sock
*SuperVillain VI
And if I have time maybe a standalone toon or that adventure game I keep talking about. The SuperVillain game is being postponed indefinitely because Florian and I are extremely busy, but hopefully we will get around to it sometime next year (??).
See you at wintertimes, maybe! Check out the new toons and have a happy Halloween!

ATTN: Game Programmers!
After recently completing Seed of Destruction (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /496038) I'd like to make some more games. I have a couple of game designs planned out in my head, so if you're a programmer with some previous work looking to code for some new ambitious, 100% hand drawn games drop me a line via PM.
I'll do all the artwork, and whereas I can't pay for your services out of pocket, we can split whatever proceeds we make from sponsorship and ads.
Let me know if you're interested!

EDIT - Position filled. Thanks for everyone who applied!

On another note, Advent of Sock is finally out! Go check it out:

Next up on my projects list: Hopefully a SuperVillain and/or Sock game! In the mean time, a new standalone cartoon, SuperVillain V, and Empire of Sock.

Wooo! Komix Games and BarfQuestion films had a baby, and that baby is called SpermRider : Seed of Destruction and you should play it right now!

The NewGrounds version includes 16 potentially unlockable medals! (although this feature is apparently the source of all human suffering on the planet) Check it out unless you have no coping skills and/or some kind of obsessive compulsive hoarding disorder!

The game goes along with the SpermRider series of toons I've made up till now. It fits in as a kind of "SpermRider 1.5" See the others here:

This isn't part of the sperm game trend, we've been working on this for half a year so nyah. :p

This is my first flash game experience, and it was pretty cool. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did making it. I would very much like to make some more and will be out searching for more potential programmers for future projects. Drop me a line if you're interested!

Advent of Sock is insanely close to being done. I would like to see if I can get it out this month, and then I'll head onto a couple shorter projects before taking on the monstrous 3rd Sock installment.

Happy Valentine's Day! As you might have seen, there's a new Valentine's Day cartoon up! Huge thanks to everybody for supporting it and earning it a Daily 1st! This one was fun to do, I've been wanting to do something else with the zombie design for awhile now and this seemed the perfect opportunity.

Coming up soon is the much requested "Advent of Sock" which will continue the story from "Dawn of Sock," set a few hours after the end of the first installment and will see Sock put into motion a plan to destroy the world of the living. I am also hoping to release the third part and conclusion to the series in November/December of this year.

In addition, lots of shorter standalone toons and SuperVillain 5 coming this way as well. It'll be a busy year, but an action packed one! ACTION VERBS.

I leave you with a half finished frame from "Advent of Sock." Until then!

EDIT- Sulek's posted the song from Valentine's 2009 (Marigold) on their Myspace player at http://www.myspace.com/doctorsulek
The album release date is up in the air but they are planning on a synchronized release so it comes out when Advent of Sock does given that I can finish it in a timely fashion. A couple weeks maybe?

It's been awhile, but the latest addition to the SuperVillain series is here! I've uploaded it to the site in 2 installments, which are both available now. In addition, Sulek has released "SuperVillain EP" which features 5 tracks from the SuperVillain series and is available for only $5 on CD Baby (http://www.cdbaby.com/sulek2) or on iTunes!

The CD includes:
1. The Festive Sounds of Rachel (as heard in all the installments so far)
2. Clearly, Maybe, Crazy (featured in SuperVillain IV)
3. Bop's Chaos (the credits song in SuperVillain IV)
4. Bazooka Tube (as heard in SuperVillain 2, not the remix in IV)
5. Hee Sau (as heard in SuperVillain 3)

Go check it out now and be sure to watch the new short which is also available to watch in my site in higher quality (http://www.barfquestion.com/viewmovie _supervillain4.html)

Next up: a SpermRider game and "Advent of Sock"

So production on SuperVillain IV has begun as of today, but in the meantime I bring you a brand new book from the Tales of BarfQuestion webcomic!

-Includes-

Over 230 comics from the website, as well as numerous segments of nonsensical ranting from the comic update box!

Three brand new exclusive graphic novel shorts!
-"Saint Creme Captain"
-"Decapitation Adventure"
-"Spinky the Communal Bathroom Elf: Dimension Sanitation"

Online features such as "Drain on Society" and "Woodland Spew"

A sketchbook feature with commentary detailing the origins of BarfQuestion!

Bonus comics, as well as a rejected comics that didn't make it online!

And some other things too insubstantial to mention!

And after a couple months of hard labor, the new, and final commission piece for a long, long time is here! I'm very pleased with it; visually this was a series of experiments and ventures into new territory and it has all paid off quite well, in my opinion. Monarch, the band behind the music, was also extremely awesome to work with and you should check them out.
It's hit me now that it's over halfway into 2008 now and I've only done one piece of completely original work. Commission work is good for making new connections and broadening your horizons, but both of these new pieces (You Don't Wanna Leave, Perform) are kind of hybrids and I miss doing 100% my thing. This isn't bad, but I miss my little BarfQuestion universe.

For example, this last piece came under a lot of fire for being 'emo.' To be frank, this pisses me off. I took the creative control that I had over this project to make the video about taking control and changing your life for the better. Being yourself. Point and case- this wasn't a problem when I did the Closing Hour and Monarch (both noir shorts about dying scared and alone). This is by no the musicians' fault, whom I happen to respect very much. From what I've seen this year, these are just the pitfalls of commission work. (If anyone has doubts my stance of being an emo, go watch my last Valentine's video where I state very clearly that this greasy demographic should be eaten by giant anthropomorphic hearts driven by my girlfriend. Rawrgh.)

The rest of the year is back to regular BarfQuestion programming, and am I ever excited. This next week or so is going towards getting the new BarfQuestion comics compilation book "the Encyclopedia Retardium" out to the printers, and you'll be getting another entry when that's out. From there the rest of the year will see, for sure, SuperVillain IV and Advent of Sock. The frame count on all of these new ones is rising so fast that the number of shorts I can put out has been decreased dramatically. However I also want a small project to accompany each of these, which I will utilize by getting some adventure games together to go on the games page I keep talking about but never doing.
More on that later, better get back to the book.

Below is concept art from the upcoming "SuperVillain IV"

Well, not only did I just get a new cartoon out (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /425301) but I have some very exciting news! This year has been a year full of confused internet goers desperately pleading for one thing... and that thing is now here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyways, stick around cause I'll have a brand new toon in the next few weeks. It's a big ~six minute beast of a music video and is full of excitementism.

So that's it for 2007! I've wrapped up the year on a positive note with my new short, "SpermRider - Quest for the Sky Egg," which is a christmasy tale of destiny, revenge, and wanton destruction.
I'd like to thank all my awesome fans who supported me through the year, plus Tom Fulp and NewGrounds for promoting me so much!

Next year promises to be full of new cartoons! What to expect:
-Various new original shorts
-A new Mike Mangione music video- A suburban knight abandons his family to battle with dinosaurs, werewolves, and an evil wizard who has stolen his car radio.
-SuperVillain IV- With SuperVillain's sanity in question, the Pope launches a crusade against him.
-Advent of Sock- Sock opens a portal to hell and begins flooding the real world with demons and otherworldly monsters.
-Sezja- (miniseries) An overwhelming evil has fallen over England, and humanities only hope lies in a psychotic cricket player who has just been exiled from the kingdom due to cricket related violence. Unwillingly our anti-hero and his newly discovered llama friend will uncover a massive conspiracy to overthrow humanity as we know it.
-And much more!

Well, see you all then! Happy Holidays!

Well! The Closing Hour is finally out, all 7 minutes and 42 seconds of it. I regret having to split it, but you guys know the drill. You can go to my site and watch it as a whole if you like.
It's certainly interesting, for me anyways, looking back on that project, as it was very nearly a year ago I thought it up and started laying it out. Animation didn't start until September, but it's a good feeling seeing it all come together, even if it is ungodly depressing. Anyways, you can find the Closing Hour on my site, my profile, or just by following these links:
Part 1-http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie w/412737
Part 2-http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie w/412736

So, what's next? I don't want to end such an awesome year on such a sad note, so everyone can expect a big year-end, winter holidays celebration with SpermRider, who will return one last time to impregnate the moon! This is gonna be fast, furious, and absolutely retarded so I do believe there will be much rejoicing.
----
Also, not to be a whore, but I've decked out my store with a bunch of brand new stuff! There are more detailed shirts now, below is a close up of one of them (based off of VoyageWaffle). There's also some other neat things, like a SuperVillain wall clock that helps you plan out your next crime spree! I resume no responsibility for this!

Anyways, thanks for watching Newgrounds! Till next time,
-Grey
