Title: Player 1021 has entered the battlefield.
Post by: MarcK on November 13, 2009 04:58 PM
Hey guys.
I remember long ago my friend and now schoolmate Ixintro telling me about how he attends the Back Alleys. I kept that mental note in the back of my mind to join this site, so with nothing to do on fridays I decided to finally head here.

History:
I started foruming in 2005 on stickpage.com. I still go there for friends and showing off my work.
I began animating with Pivot/Easytoon, getting basic motions down, nothing awesome. I started flash in early 2006 and since then I was considered it for a good career.
I did stickfigures for a year or two, I don't know if my first movie that went over one minute Twilight Surface (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/449512) made in 2007 would count as fullbody or stickfigures, but it got me a trophy from the regional Pa Computer Fair, so hooray.
In 2008 I animated Factory (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/496122), and won 3rd place in the Statewide PA Computer Fair for animation, near Ixintro, who had won 1st for his breakfast club animation.
In 2009 I tried more experimentation with tweening. It got my latest movie Lychgate (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/516301) done rather quickly. I like tweening but from now on I'm going to keep it to a necessary minimum. It's pretty lazy looking in my opinion. Anyway Lychgate got frontpage on newgrounds and 2nd scary runner up in NG Halloween, even topping Devil of New Haven.

So my next projects I'll be trying to make with mostly Frame-by-Frame. I'm working diligently on 2 scripts now, one for my sister's birthday, and the next for Halloween 2010.

In the meantime I'll be posting as much as I can on this website. It looks like a fine place to get critique and show my stuff off.

I think an introduction is a fine time to show a brief resume. I say show off because sugar coating it never helps. I have work, I show it to people. I hate that the adjective "show-off" is such a pejorative term.

How is alabama? I imagine living there's like being barraged by shit constantly, but that's probably because I'm some stuck up city slicker.
