Entry #19
This 'thing' is one hundred and one shots long. As of right now, sixty three are nearly finished (I've still got a few weeks ahead of me remastering some of the older ones that already look terrible in comparison with recent shots). The remainder are mostly only penciled and inked, which leaves the monumental task of coloring, scanning, cleaning, and compositing the frames. I may yet add about twenty shots from scratch on top of this. Spell checker, why don't you think compositing is a word. It is a word. Stop bleeding underneath every 'compositing' I type in a poor effort to distress me. 'Empire of Sock' has transformed me into a being of pure distress, your pathetic attempts do not even phase me.
Compositing, as it turns out, does not save time, much in the same way that sales do not save money, comma. It lures me into biting off way more than I can chew with the reasoning that "well, all of these convoluted, overly complicated shots won't take you as long as it would if you were to do them without compositing", just like a sale that promises "well, if you buy way more crap than you need, it won't cost you as much as it would if you bought all this at the normal price."
But of what importance is pain in the face of PROGRESS.
People seem to be getting worried that I'm giving up, but your fears could not be further from the truth. I've been investing 40+ hours a week, every week, into this project for over a year now. If the despair of waiting is too much for you, flee now before I show you what true waiting is all about with SuperVillain 6 and a SpermRider movie idea I've been mulling over.

I've got mad respect for you man, I mean I can barely even keep myself motivated enough to finish small, quick animations. The fact that you can make these complex pencil animations amazes me, I would probably toss the project after only a few days or something.
Keep doing what your doing.

Sorry, that sentence is missing a comma.
Thank god, I thought you were dead.
There we go, now it sounds like I'm happy to hear from you, rather than wish you were dead.
Much love.

Wait, didn't you post something similar on your blog 2 months ago?
My Newgrounds blog seemed malnourished, so after this post had been digested and passed by the actual production blog, I thought I'd shovel up the waste and secretly feed it to Newgrounds.
Half out of spite, half out of trying to further discourage the growing rumors of my death.
