Hmm, it seems I haven't updated this since July.....so heres some updates :)
Current flashes in progress:
Trash and Clash episode 2: This has been by-far the longest and slowest cartoon I've been working on. Going on one year of production, I'm not giving up on this baby haha. And happily I can say I've actually been working on it again. I had a scare recently when the file got corrupted and wouldn't play, but I always back-up my cartoons so I only had to lose a small bit of work as I replaced it with the backup one. Trash and Clash are my die-hard loved characters, so I don't even care what score they might receive here. Seriously, every time I watch this thing in test mode I get this sense of happiness just watching them move and talk. Even after watching the same scene over and over and over, they never bore me. And that's the reason I work on this: Pure unbridled passion for my art. A quality I think more animators need. But whatever, haha.
In The Dark:This cartoon has only entered the test phases but I'm happy to say it's looking pretty damn scary, haha. I'm more currently going to find VA's for the characters and see what I can do with condensing the story into bite-size shorts rather than long large episodes. My teachers are very interested in this project too and want to see more work on this so it may just go into production sooner than I thought, but we'll see about that...
Sonic Shorts Collab: I'm about 40% done with a super special "ending" animation for the final volume and I have to say it's really fun! Not only am I doing some crazy cameos, but I'm probably pushing the quality, fbf, and special effects to levels I've never done before haha. Hopefully it will be awesome and the rest of the group will like the final product.
Sonic Switch part 2: This cartoon is on hold until I finish Trash and Clash 2, and the more I look at the parts I have done, the more I realize I need to fix the quality. I already had Shadow's part done but now I'm thinking of redoing it because they are too stiff, the writing is bland, and the camera is not being utilized well. So once Trash and Clash are done, I'm starting Sonic Switch part 2 from scratch. At least then the whole thing will look consistent and the effects will be better all around :)
So there you go! There are no release dates on anything. But at least you know where I'm at on their progress :D And here's a random drawing of Trash and Clash to fill space:

Looks like you are doing great. Take your time with everything and don't overload yourself. Trash and Clash are great characters, and I really like the interplay you have developed for their relationship. I am definitely looking forward to more of the beautiful grotesque world you have developed for "In the Dark." It looks very interesting to say the least. The thing I am looking forward to the most though is hearing what Sin will sound like. I have a picture of his voice inside my head so it should be interesting if that matches the voice you decide to pair up to him. All the best of luck with your studies and projects! Eagerly but patiently awaiting more.

Thanks Shishinyome ^_^ And you mentioned something I myself have been wondering...Will I find someone who can voice Sin the way I imagine him? I'm going to open auditions soon, so I'll find out soon enough I guess haha. And I might not say this quite enough but really, you are awesome! And I appreciate the feedback.
