Turning Japanese

I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.

So, uh, yeah, it's finished. Took me long enough.
"WHERE BE THE SECOND 'ALF O' THE SONG?", cries the reviewer. Well, my little West Country farmer, I removed half of the song as to push forward the release date. Now that might seem like a silly thing to do for an animator who's hardly well-known on the site, but it was more for my benefit than anybody elses.

Although I may not have a fanbase urging and pressurising me into releasing cartoons at a more regular rate, I do have a braincell somewhere in my head (probably in my brain, actually) that's doing that job in their absence. Y'see, 'Turning Japanese', or '[Turning Japanese]' as it's known here on NG (a cartoon on the site is already using the bracketless name), has been an unfinished file on my computer since early 2006, perhaps even earlier. For about two years, it just rotted in a folder, cold and excluded; LONESOME AND INCOMPLETE.

I added a hell of alot more to it and personally I think it's paid off, but unfortunately, I've really not had the time to finish the cartoon to match the song one-hundred percent.

Ah well. It still looks as tasty as a tuna sandwich in the wind.

Not that I have a loyal fanbase or pack of hungry groupies (yet), but some of you may have picked up on the fact that I said I was just about finished animating a cartoon for the song 'Turning Japanese' but have not yet uploaded it.
"WHY", I HEAR YOU ASK.
Well, let's be honest, we're all partial to a mild helping of procrastination on an Autumn evening. I wish it wasn't true, but it is.

For those who don't have a dictionary: basically, it's not finished yet because I'm laaaazy. Infact, it's so worringly far away from completion that I was forced to chop about two minutes off the song.
Exactly. That's how much of a shambles this situation is. Admist the era of knives and sharp tomfoolery, I had to actually CHOP.

As an apology, have a screenshot.

Brazil Interview

Posted by Drattigan Oct. 10, 2008 @ 2:59 AM EDT

Brazil got Daily Feature so this guy wanted to interview me about it. I couldn't say 'no' to that and I have vocal chords.
Perhaps if somebody removed or crushed them in my neck like a lump of Rice Krispies I'd be able to say in the future that I can't say 'no' or indeed anything else.

If you've not already seen the cartoon, take a peek with those lovely eyes of yours.

It's Brazilliant, it's beyond belief.

I asked Weebl (or 'TheWeebl' if you're one of those silly Newgrounds obsessives) if I could upload my version of the cartoon to the site. Since he found it as tasty as a bowl of loveliness, he agreed.

One final word; the Mood icon for "Shouting" isn't shouty enough. It looks like more of a gasp of shock than an excrement of anger.

Oh Zekey, you beautiful lizard you.

Birthday collaboration between the Weebls-Stuff Forums (me included) and some Newgrounds artists (me not included), organised by that delicious BlueHippo.

My part's the one hilariously labelled 'Drattigan'. Give them all a click though. THEY ARE AS INCREDIBLE AS THE SANDS OF TIME.
