It's been a while since my last blog post. School's been keeping me really busy. I've been drawing as
much as I can for CTF2...it's just been going very sloowww. I wanted to do 2 episodes before christmas. Still hope I can do that. I've gotten most of the voice overs, just missing one set which will come soon enough. I've drawn the outside and basically main area where the events take place but I haven't drawn its surroundings. I really want to take it up a notch and get things done very quickly. I've got an exam to study for but I've got a three day weekend with two days left. Canadian thanksgiving lol.

So I'm guessing on Monday I'm going to wake up and declare it my flash work day. And I want to actually have drawn the outlines for most of the areas. It took me six hours to draw something very small so claiming to do this goes against all my habits. The truth is I just have a lot less time now and I honestly feel guilty not working on Flash. For two years, I have been working on flash nonstop. It's my drug; my creative outlet. I suddenly had to stop for school and it's like I went through a withdrawal. Seriously... I'm not kidding.

I remember reading one of Tom Fulp's news posts about castle crashers. He was saying that he's constantly coming up with new ideas but he can't get the ball rolling on any of them until he's done with CC. He was saying how this is pretty frustrating. That the process was so slow. He has a site to run at the same time so he cannot devote all his time to making the game. I can sympathize. I take school pretty seriously just like I take flash seriously. I devote a tremendous time to flash so being unable to work on it when I want to so badly is incredibly frustrating. I'm constantly listening to the audio portal while I do my homework and scanning for songs that would work in my fifth major flash production. I'm a big Chronamut, Soundshifter and Kingbastard fan. Soundshifter actually goes to my school lol. I don't think I'm going to use any of their music for episode two as the script doesn't call for it but listening to their songs while I work really inspires me and I intend to use songs from each of them in the future. I have such high hopes for my series. Episode 2 is a lot longer than number 1 and it's my first flash that I do not provide a voice. Well thanks for listening to me ramble on. If you're some random Newgrounder with a snarky comment, then let's hear it.
