I just released my latest animation last night, Batman & Pals: Episode 1. You can also check it out on Youtube below.

It was a blast to work on and I plan to make a whole series in the future. I've already written episode 2 and the "pal" in that episode is going to be Spider-Man. If you want to follow the series make sure to FOLLOW me to get updates when I submit content.

So I just realised that I haven't made a news post in about 9 months so it's probably a good idea to update anyone who happens to be interested!

I just released the NG version of PHASE ONE, you can also check it out in full quality over on Youtube. It's a project I've been working hard on for a good while which is the main reason I've barely released any movies this year. But yeah, it's out now so I hope you guys like it. I want to thank Tom for giving me the ability to upload mp4's to NG (it's awesome) and a thank you to Rig for giving me advice on mixing the sound for the film.

I'm also just about to finish a Batman parody I've been working on for a month and a half. It's kind of in the style of the old Batman TV series but with some newer characters such as Bane. It should be released sometime this week, hopefully, so keep an eye out for that in the portal.

In other news I finally got full partnership on my Youtube channel so that's been kind of interesting. Also I will be participating in the upcoming Game Jam 8 this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it. I've already set up my team, It's just going to be me and PSvils, bring it on!

Back in July I graduated from university with a degree in Motion Graphics & Animation and this year I started my masters degree in the same subject. It's a 12 month course but hopefully I'll have time to release some little cartoons along the way. I'll make more frequent news post, I promise!

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I made a Facebook page for my animations and things. It's new so no one's liked it yet, so If you want give it a like that would be cool.

Hey, I've got a bunch of projects lined up for this year, not to mention my final project for university, which i'm doing all in 3D using Maya. I will update more about that in a bit.

I just submitted a new flash about half an hour ago. It's a little Skyrim parody I decided to make about all the arrows jokes flying about. Big thanks to RicePirate for providing the voices in it.

I'm also currently working on a Batman parody with a few other animators, I'm mainly doing additional animation and colouring. The project's looking great so far and should be released within a few weeks, look out for that in the portal soon.

And lastly, I was just browsing the portal a few days ago and happened to come across one of my submissions in the all-time top 50 list at number 7 (see pic below). That was really neat and unexpected, it's not in the top 50 list anymore but it was cool while it lasted :)

Anyone getting snowfall where they are yet?

Over the summer I started a Flash tutorial channel on Youtube and have been uploading some videos to it ever since. The channel is aimed at beginners/intermediate Flash users but I also wanted to make some videos on Flash tools people haven't exposed that much.

Here are a couple of video examples of some of my tutorials.

Hope everyone's having a great Madness Day so far!

I just recently submitted Madness Pixelation 2, the conclusion to the series, check it out.

I do plan on submitting Madness Dance Party 4 as well at some point today but that depends on whether I can finish it in time. If I do submit it today, check the portal at around midnight, Newgrounds time :)

EDIT: Madness Dance Party 4 released!

It feels kind of weird not being a teenager anymore but I guess it's all good.

In terms of Flash stuff, I've nearly finished Madness Pixelation 2, I've animated nearly 3 minutes so far and the final thing should be about +5 mins long. Madness Dance Party 4 is coming along slowly, hopefully I'll get it done before Madness Day :)

Ever since the official Newgrounds channel on Youtube was claimed and started running, I've been trying to add NG users I know on here as a friend (and/or subscribe to them) on Youtube to try and get some sort of network going. So if you're a flash artist on here and have a Youtube account post the channel address on here so me and other Flash authors viewing this news post can add you, my channel can be found here: www.youtube.com/user/NicholasDeary.
