*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.

A long time ago I did a webcomic about a ninja girl attending an artschool called Kerslash. Because of circumstances beyond my control I was unable to continue working on it. But now I'm back to share this announcement:
Reposted from the Kerslash Facebook page:

I have an announcement to make. It's one of those good news/bad news things. The bad news is that I am discontinuing the Kerslash webcomic. To be honest, I haven't drawn a new page for it since october of last year.
The good news is that I've been spending all that time working on the first episode of the new animated web series instead!

Go to the Kerslash Facebook page at facebook.com/kerslash to view the new series intro. Also, please like our page so we can keep you updated on the status of the first episode.

I created this new series for all the fans that were left hanging during the first comic run. It pained me to have to walk away from that comic for so long, so I thought the best way to show my appreciation for the support you guys gave me while working on the comic was to take it to the next level and do what I was best at, Animation.

So this series is for all the fans, without you guys this series wouldn't be possible. Thank you again for your continued support and prepare to have your faces rocked.

I did a Livestream session earlier today. It's about an hour long, so if you have some time to kill check it out:

http://livestre.am/1gUGw

It covers sketching, inking and some coloring in Paint Tool Sai with my 10 year old wacom tablet. I'll finish the coloring in the second part. Sorry if you don't like the explicit hip hop I had playing in the background, you can just mute the video and play your own music if you want :P

When I get a better mic, I'll start doing commentary while I draw these.

The image below shows my progress throughout the video:

Just wanted to announce that my casting call has officially closed and that I have selected my cast for the upcoming Kerslash animated series.

I want to thank everybody that tried out. It was so crazy trying to sift through 55 submissions but we made it through and now we can get this show on the road.
