I don't take anyone who's angry or trying to troll me very seriously. All you get in return for that shit is more trolling. By me :3

Genocide episode one, a future in sight?

Posted by Gate-keeper-girl - April 10th, 2008


Wowie, I've decided to hunker down and complete this bugger, I've gotten a lot of inspiration from former viewers, my flash idols (A big Nod to The-Swain, and Rtil ) and current fans of my work, so I wanted to reward you all with a small progress report (if anyone's still around to listen to me)

For starters, I am completely revamping my style. (Somewhere between Cupid's plan, and Dark Angel)
It may seem a little cheap to be using more tweens, but hell, sometimes things just need to get done.

For the revamp, I had to change the framerate of my flash, and instead of going back through 17 so scenes of sloppy frame by frame work to try and make it look good, I am coming out with a more abridged, to-the-point , movie to appeal to our wonderfully "attentive" Newgrounds crowd.

Well to show off my work, here is a screen shot of my lusciously seductive cyborg commandress ,(You can tell I am infatuated with my own characters . _.) Siiga (Still need a voice actress for her, the only people who auditioned were guys. (and I'm still getting too many offers to keep track of @ _@ I'm such a noob.)

Anyway, I should update this page more often, if I can - 0-

Ooooh, didn't you know that mentioning both me and rtil in the same sentence is liable to cause the universe to explode :( Haha actually it's encouraging to know that the drama hasn't gone so far that people know we're at war. Not REALLY, but still.

As for "cheapening" your animation by using tweens, I agree. I mean that using tweens is essentially cheapening it, but that doesn't make it wrong. Figure it this way: you are one person. You are animating for yourself. You are not a studio, and you are not producing studio quality for that reason...so why should you bust your ass to do so? Use tweens. Cheapen your work because people will not judge you less for it...they know you ARE one person, and you are cheapening it only to the point that it is manageable to you. I did the same with Mastermind and I know the fans will forgive you for it. They only want to be entertained, not to see a masterpiece. :) We're too young to hope for a masterpiece right now anyway, so better to practice while we have the time.

Ok so let's treat this like a critique. I like the hands, I'll say that now. That's a freaking hard part to get right and it seems like you're comfortable with it, so I'm optimistic already. The metallic look of the forearm is convincing too, and I have no problem figuring out what's going on there. Even the facial structure is good, though the only thing I'd revise is the distance of the mouth from the chin, and the nose from the eyes. It feels to me like they should be pushed up slightly.

If I could change anything though, it would be the lips. Believe me, it's a very difficult subject to get right, but girly eyes (maybe with more hard lines closer to the inside corners rather than just the outside) mixed with girly lips is an instant winner. She could have the body of a man, but effeminate lips and eyes would instantly make her identifiable.

I'll be checking back for updates!

Oh my.

Actually, I seriously SUCK with hands. I just redraw/tweak them constantly to see if I can get the right effect. Most of my hands end up looking like they're too short, or the thumb gets mutated in some ungodly manner.
XD and yeah. I had a FBF version in the works, but it took SO LONG to animate a simple sequence, that I got bored with it, and made each scene maybe a second or two long.
I showed that version to a couple of people, and they had NO idea what was going on, or why the purple haired chick was getting chased (lawls)

This new version is about as long, and took about 5 days to get to, compared to the embarrassing 5 months the other version took.

I'll post a link to the current version I have in my next news post.

As for Siiga (or Siga, in her English spelling)
I agree with you about her face. The reason the mouth is weird and out of place is because it moved, and I hadn't checked on it until you mentioned it.
I need to get her face to a point where it looks unreal (pretty-wise) But at the same time, cruel and threatening.

The back-story behind Siga, is that she was an actress/Model, obsessed about her looks to the point where she got implants to prolong her youth, and soon got taken hold of by the main "villan" of this plot, Kade.

But I don't want to give out too much.

Anyway, thanks for the critique! Feel free to instant message me, I'm usually on.
