After a long tedious process of working hard it's all done.

I want to thank everyone who helped: UP, The Chrono Compendium, and of course R1665. There was a lot of work put into it and it has turned out very awsome.

I was interviewed by the chrono compendium staff member FaustWolf pending the release of this episode, you can read that on the chrono compendium sometime today. www.chronocompendium.com

I am VERY VERY happy after this whole thing because the battle scenes were really a chore to do. Overall it gives a great lead into the next episode and the next episode shall be as thrilling as ever. So for now, I am signing off and I bid you farewell. Go out and check CTA V, give it a fair chance because the story is actually very deep.

So, I have animated my Chrono Trigger Apocalypse Series, to the point of burnout. I am extremely saddened that I don't have enough motivation to finish the final intricate scene.

It's not a big deal though, I will be back to working on it within a week since I have started something new, to try and refresh myself and keep the stress/need to work on CTA V down. I have two sites full of people anxiously awaiting the release. (The Chrono Compendium and Ultra Publications)

So after writing out the basic script, writing the characters in, and making a more than decent looking introductory scene, I am working fairly hard and doing very well on my side project.

I really like how it is turning out and it will definetley make CT: Apocalypse look refreshing. This current project isn't just a normal side project to have fun with. It is a legitimate effort to try and make a sweet and enjoyable flash for everyone.

ALSO!!!: I am doing voice work for flash artists now, anyone interested in a villain voice or just any male voice in general, private message in me. You could be pleasantly surprised.

So, what is this side project? Only a select few know, and I know for a fact that I am not releasing it. So, I will leave you with a screenshot and your best guess to what this is. Oh and don't think that it's just the videogame that is shown in the picture. It is actually a much more interesting concept than you think.

I need to do a hand drawn flash soon, maybe as I am working on CTA V I can pull it off.

Anyway, I got a script so here it is.

--------------------------------------

Two men are sitting in a car in a dark alley with masks on

Driver: Put the lighter in

Passenger: Alright...

Passenger puts the cigarette lighter in

Passenger: So what are we doing

Driver: Mafia leader, he's putting the squeeze on us.

Passenger: Showing him a lesson

Driver: More of a coming back present

Passenger: Heh Heh, how much are we getting paid?

Driver: Are you kidding? Money, ha this is about bending the rules

Passenger: I get why the call him the Joker

Driver: Get the lighter there he is

The passenger gets the lighter as the driver gets out a stick of dynamite. They light the dynamite and slowly drive past the car, toss the dynamite in and drive off as the car explodes

Passenger: Ok... lets---

The driver stabs the passenger

Driver: No no no... Shh

The driver pulls off his mask

Driver: You see... you change things... forever.... there's no going back. Now that I know that they are bugging you guys... this makes everything CRAZY!!! ha ha ha ha

The driver tosses the passenger out and speeds off into the night.\

---------------------

Ok I am definetley going to work on this soon.

I am not going to make this front page, as I have to save that for when everything happens.

Ok a lot is up with me.

1. In my art class, I am making a tankman face. It is the captain and it is going to be awsome. More on that later when it's finished and I submit it to the art portal. I plan to eventually make steve and skittles later on. I might even do Nasty Pig from Krinkels' "Nasty Pig".

2. I am going to be getting interviewed by Faustwolf of the Chrono Compendium for my chrono trigger series, the interview is to come out with CTA V, so everyone be ready for that!

3. Final Fantasy 6 Ascension is on dead halt until all of this chrono madness dies down some and after CTA V is finally released.

4. After this first grading quarter is over, hopefully my grades will be high enough to give me some leeway in not having to do stuff every night.

Nothing much, I just had to get a few things out there, because A LOT IS HAPPENNING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!

Ok let's get down to it. Progress has been hindered... School blows and with that said I have to use my free time on sports or homework. When I am home on the computer, I can't get any animating done, I have enough time to layout storylines and scripts. I can't believe I have time to even post this, yet alone make graphics for some guys madness day game... If he ever pms me in time.

Anyway let's go ahead and give an outlook on what we are seeing.

Final Fantasy VI: Ascension
Prologue

You can expect this one to just give a layout of what the world is like after the whole original FF6 story. I have litterally been planning the whole idea for a year and in the last month I have just been fine tuning the ideas, with the help from a good friend (R1665). I am already saying that you won't be seeing every character. Some of them just want to live out their lives normally, but believe me when I say that every major character is in.

I expect to have a good showing. I hope I can finish it soon and get it out by at the end of the month at the latest. I think everyone will appreciate what I already consider to be the best FF6 flash on NG. I am talking about story as well as the animation quality.

Chrono Trigger Apocalypse V

There has been no work on this as of yet. So I might as well give you the premise of this episode and what I have decided on doing.

This episode will follow what has happenned to Frog and Magus. Where will it take them? It will be a place pivotol to the storyline and will definetley be a major achievement in what I plan to have become a complete battle system. I plan to have the system working completely, but just for one character. It outta be a fun experience in what I have planned and really outta get some people wanting to play. I will post a screenshot of it, just to get people drooling once I come to it.

I might as well go into the future to say that episode VI will have Crono and Lucca's story and Episode VII will be a suprise and I have something good in mind. It will center around two characters. Everything will come together extremely well and I hope to add more playability in this series. For example, say you are in an area where it's mostly blocks of text just explaining things like the End of Time and talking to Gaspar and Spekkio. I will hopefully be able to let you walk around the area talking to various characters and leave when you please. It won't be a trial and error thing either. If you go to a place that will leave the area and you don't know it, I will put it on there. "Entering here will leave the area and advance the story, please make sure you have talked to everyone to get the full effect." Then there will be a go and go back buttons. This will take a lot of code and with this comes an announcement.

I am looking for a programmer. Someone who can make a battle system as well as help me make areas where your character can walk around. The major issue is that... there is no pay. So basically I am looking for someone who will do it for the love of the series or just the love of programming. You will make money off the API if you have it enabled anyway, so I will just make it a 60 percent take in the programmer's favor right off the bat.

So this is going on the front page... Might as well have a screenshot to.

Well I am severely frusterated with how my flash was voted on today. A flash which I saw as easily worth a 3.7+ is currently in the 3.6+ range. I even got screwed out of a daily award by a flash which was at a lower score at midnight.

So after getting screwed out of an award that I don't care about (I CARE ABOUT EXPOSURE I ALREADY HAVE DAILY AWARDS!) I am having a big depression let down sorta thing right now. The only thing that could really bounce me back was if my flash was to hit front page which I find unlikely at this point.

Anyway I am thinking of not taking a vacation because I feel I no longer deserve one. I guess I overestimated what my flash was worth, or I just got ripped off. I don't even know.

So tommorow is the groundwork and sprite ripping for my next flash. No it is not Chrono Trigger Apocalypse V.

CTA Will be taking a short 1 flash break as I begin work on Final Fantasy 6 The Ascension Prologue, or if you want to use the flash name I will have to use. FF6: Ascension Prologue.

This will be a fun and exciting project, something to give me a new look rather than the same look from the CT sprites.

Yes the day has dawned.

I am happy to announce that CTA IV is out so go check it out!!!

Review and Vote fairly!

It took a hell of a long time to work on and I am just happy to have it out. I didn't take any breaks from work except for when my hard drive crashed.

I will be taking a bit of a vacation to get ready for school before starting anymore animation though.

And I have just now gotten my computer back, oh joy.

I want to take the time now to say that I am sorry for the handful of people who actually cared enough to watch for updates, that I never updated. I have been isolated from many people for a long time and for that I am sorry.

I will say now that the Elements collab (Artistic Collab) is still going on, despite the making of an art portal. And the Chrono Trigger Apocalypse Episode IV will be getting worked on again as well. This also means that Mortal Kombat 1 Eps. 2 will still be getting worked on.

So I am just happy to be able to get back to work. I am definetley going to put more into CTA IV than I previously planned due to this, but at the same point in time I might not due to the fact that I don't want later episodes to have to live up to that one.

Anyway, I am just happy to be back and for the 4-8 people that read this and care, thanks a lot for your continued support.

So... let's see how far I've gotten. I have the sprites, have the story, have the script, and have almost all of the music.

I will say right from the get go that this episode of Chrono Trigger Apocalypse's ending will shock some of the hardcore fans if they realize what happens. This episode will likely turn everything you thought of the CT characters upside down.

The series is intended for 20 episodes and I plan to shock people in just the 4th so you know I've got much much more lined up.

So I will give you the intended credits song for CTA IV. Maybe it will clue some of you in.

So I took about 2 minutes to make a quick pencil sketch of myself. I don't think it's to bad and I think if I put somewhere around 30 minutes into a sketch I could have a pretty realistic looking one. I just free handed this without trying to scale or make look proportional.

So it got me to thinking. I NEED A DAMN TABLET! I want to do more hand drawn works in flash and I just don't have the funds neccessary to buy a damn tablet.

It really is a downer to see that if I took my time I could draw very well, but I can't draw with a mouse for anything.

Now I know that this isn't anything special, but it took me approximately 120 seconds to outline. I just shaded it quickly in some places to add a bit of effect, such as the hair.

so.... donate me a tablet.

EDIT: New picture... oh and it took me 5 minutes!!! ZOMG Anyway, here is just a quick sketch of sephiroth.
