Kerslash on the Big Screen


Posted by Celshaded - January 10th, 2013


Here's my commentary for the first episode of Kerslash where I talk about things and stuff...

Here's a couple of videos I did detailing my method for color individual frames of animation in Flash. Let me know if guys have any requests or potential ideas for future tutorials.

*Edit: The internet makes it hard to tell if you guys are serious or not, but just to be clear this is a fake toonami intro that I made. The music is 'Iron Shadow' by emceewhate on Newgrounds: http://emceewhate.newgrounds.com/

I was planning on making this after I finished episode 2, but I couldn't wait. I like new Adult Swim version of Toonami, but I miss vintage Toonami.

Toonami can make any show seem hardcore, even Hamtaro. I won't go so far as to say, "cartoons these days suck!", because they really don't, but the presentation was definately better in my day</old man statment>

'THE GREATEST ACTION CARTOON EVER MADE!' I'm trying to take that title...

So I just uploaded the first episode of Kerslash!: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/606958

We're still ironing out some kinks with the website, so I will be directing people here, or to the youtube channel where you can watch it in HD. http://youtube.com/kerslashtv

Making this was so much work and a huge learning experience, and I want to thank everybody for their patience. I also want to thank the original readers of the web comic this is based on for your continued support, I made this show just for you guys.

Thanks again guys, and enjoy.

Way back while I was still working on the first episode of Kerslash, I acquired a new wacom tablet. So I started working on this simple animation of Psylocke just to get used to using it. This originally took about 30 minutes to produce; I don't draw that fast...

My animated web series Kerslash will premiere next month, Saturday December 1! To celebrate the release, I made this new trailer:

Featuring the incredible voice talents of Jessi Nowack, Garrett Green, Sadiyyah Osbourne, Karen Hayman, Andrew H. Chung, and Sean Chiplock

For more updates and additional info on the progress of subsequent episodes, I would suggest 'Liking' the official Kerslash facebook page here

No ninjas were harmed during the making of this program

Here's a little teaser thingy I made from the first episode of Kerslash. I'll do an official polished trailer once I'm a bit more closer to being finished:

Also, the music used in the the above teaser is 'Hovering Forever' by OctoEntandre here on NG. Be sure to visit his page and check out more of his tracks because they are awesome: http://octoentandre.newgrounds.com/

First, how a bout a little peak at what I've been doing:

That's a lot of mouth shapes... So while working on the first episode of Kerslash, I've learned so many time saving tricks and shortcuts that I can apply to the second episode. For starters, I think I'm going to simplify the mouth animation to flapping anime mouths except for major close up or scenes of utter importance:

Also, I'm going to animate it on 3's instead of 2's.

So yeah, I had some recent freelance stuff I had to take care of that slowed me down for a while, but I'm pretty much on the home stretch and am already planning for episode 2.

Don't forget you can keep tabs on my progress here.

Here's a little behind the scenes clip of me working on Kerslash, sped up of course:

...and also, the HD version of the series intro just in case you missed it:

Stay thirsty my friends.
