Hey, kids.
It's been quite a while since I've done one of these news post blog thingies, so I thought I would make a new one after it being so long.
As you all know, the last Penguins animation was released just last year, with pretty much nothing since. There's been a couple animations, of course, and new Penguins comic books is in the works, but no animations. Well, I've come here to make a quick announcement that a new Penguins animation will be coming this Halloween! Or around that time. It's hard to say now. I hope you all enjoy it when it gets released! I won't tell you anything about it right now, but I have one bit of art I can show you for the time being...
While we're on the subject of Penguins, I have some breif announcements for the series:
- Penguins: The Neighbor Next Door Part 2 is now cancelled. I no longer enjoy the script, and working on that project has proven to be too ambitious for my current skill level. Along with a whole list of other reasons why I won't move forward with it. Part 1 will still be on the internet, don't worry. I may release a revised version of the script at a later date for those who wanted to see how the story ends.
- Three pages of the latest Penguins comic are available to read on my DeviantArt! Check out the links on my page to read them!
- I'm working on designs for Penguins merchandise. Nothing too big, just some shirts and maybe some posters.
And if there happens to be anyone out there who's wondering why not very animations have been released this year, well it really comes down to two things:
The first being the elsabeoons situation from all the way back in June. I'll be honest, that really messed me up for a while. It still does. I mean, I get it. The animation he reuploaded was something that was a trendy little thing, and it produced a little bit of views for him. It performed very well for me as well when I put it on my YouTube channel to copyright claim his reupload (thank god it did, too. i made the damn thing after all). After all that, I got scared to upload my animations anywhere. I didn't/don't want anyone to steal anything I make. Especially Penguins. They're like my children to me. But then, he emailed me asking me to remove my claims. To this day, I don't really know how he got my email address. So I deleted my channel on YouTube, and I never looked him up ever again. Truth be told, I don't want to. I'm scared to know what I might find on there or if he stole more of my animations. I shouldn't be, but I am. But all that being said, a lot of time has passed, and I trust that he's forgotten or gotten over everything that's happened, and that me and him can just move on.
The second reason is just that I've had a lot of projects lately. And with school, I don't have a lot of time for animating. It's something I really enjoy and want to be part of my life forever, but I just don't have as much time as I wish I had. If I did, there probably would be a lot more animations this year. But enough of all that.
Alright, I think that's it. I hope you all enjoy the new animation when it comes out! See ya round, kids!
