I feel like I was asleep, motivation-wise. I'm working on lots of music as of late though, but I'd like to get back into art. Hopefully I can get myself back together because there's a lot of things I feel should be done and some are past due. I'll try to keep posted, till then I got work to do.

So I'm working on this new puppet rig (which is almost complete) and I was thinking of getting other people to beta test them before they're released. What I'd like is feedback concerning the way it moves, animates, and how it exports. If interested, please search for me on skype and add: Merlin [KiloPaSKULL]

Well here it is, the video I've been working on for a little while. I finished the actual animating part in 3 days before the deadline (being yesterday) and man o man. The lip syncing...It took me 2 all nighters in a row and a day to complete, and the first all nighter was dedicated to lip syncing alone. Thankfully, I had Papagayo to help me with the lip sync, it was so much easier to do after using it. Exporting was the last day and my computer kept overheating and the software keep freezing. But now that its all over, I'm happy to reveal to you, my very first animation

Hey man. How's your AS stuff coming? Still doing well? Still looking for a team?
Hey man. How's your AS stuff coming along?
Pretty good, I've been really busy with work and music right now, haven't had much time to work on my puppet rigs, but progress on one rig in progress is going well. And sorry, I can't give you the batch file to the Shining Armor video seeing as its not entirely mine, others from the Bogyle Bronies channel helped so I don't have a say in who can view the files used for their channel. I'll be sure to put more time in AS this month since I've switched from working full time to part time.
I wouldn't reupload it for morally wrong purposes, but I can see why you'd deny me :)

I work practically all day (11-5) and have nothing to do. I tried bringing in AS, but Since it's a pirated version, you have to have administrator positions to use it and I don't have those. Figured having hours to burn would be a good way to get work done on lots of puppets and finish refining some of my current works I haven't gotten around to.

So, just out of curiosity, I saw your rainbow Dash puppet had an update since the last time I visited that you made mouths a switch layer instead of a dial. Did I influence that, or did you come up with that on your own? I think I'll try working with Actions in my next puppet to see how those work.
Thanks for your understanding. I decided to make it switch because I thought the whole 'dial to change mouth' wasn't the best idea for animation, and I found switch works much better with the lip sync software called "papagayo" that helped out a bunch with the Shining Armor video.
