Hey NG! Today is my birthday. Also...

Megaman X vs. Zombies 7

This is a project that I invision making when I get super good with sprite animations...I have basic ideas for how it would go but I really want to end this over 10 year old sprite animation series on a bang...tbh I don't know if I can pull it off with my current skill level. I want to get better with sprites but I lost my way with sprite animation...so for now, this project is still in the planning phases but it is something I want to do eventually.

Flash Forward Jam 2022

To be more active on Newgrounds, my original online home for creative endeavors...I may unofficially participate in the Flash Forward Jam 2022! I have a project that has interactive menus and whatnot...but it uses sprites so I don't think I can enter the contest officially. However, the project I did test several times in Ruffle and I optimized it for it so even if I forfeit prizes, I'd still like to contribute to this site with it

Misc.

There is this pervasive feeling that my main era with sprite animations is done, that I peaked two years ago and that I've been growing more complacent with my sprite animations. People these days make way better quality animations than with my current techniques...I learned my methods such a long time ago that I'm due for refreshers on how to sprite animate with modern techniques...I wish I can re learn how to sprite animate. So if you feel that I've been slowing down in sprite animation output...that's why. I don't want to abandon you people without any notice or anything so I'm trying to remain transparent with y'all.

I hope any who read this far or in general that your day is pleasant as well! ^_^

Hey Newgrounds! I forgot that I've been on here, on this account, for over a decade now! The original date I made this account was August 19, 2011. I'd like to think I've grown in my time publishing sprite animations to here! I encourage all my fans, longtime and new, to respond to this with your favorite memory of one or more of my works, and if you're reading this fresh, welcome as well!

Take care,

Hey Newgrounds! Nano here. I'd like to make this annoucement to recruit sprite animators for the Megaman X4 Boss Fight collab! These are the rules of the collab, except any character/s can be used.

If interested, this is the server to join: https://discord.gg/AsHVb4REnA Good luck and happy animating!

Hey Newgrounds!

Llama got your attention? Sure hope it did!

I'd like to use this post to shout out my Discord server, where sprite animators, other creatives, and anyone interested in joining can relax, share WIPs, get feedback, maybe make friends! https://discord.gg/beWwRJk If you're a fan of my works, you can see WIPs of upcoming projects!

Also, would like to talk more about Megaman X vs. Zombies 3, my favorite animation I made to date!

So I originally started working on it around the time the series was still new. First episode came out in 2011, 2nd in 2012, and worked on 3 in 2015 ish. Unfortunately, computer got corrupted and the work efforts on the most recent version of the file went with it. So that version of the episode, unfortunately got scrapped. You can try to see what was left of it over here! https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/698053 Even though it was devastating to lose all the progress on that version of the episode...I still wanted to move forward with the series...so I focused on honing my battle animation skills with the following animations after that beta version of Megaman X vs. Zombies 3 was published. Many animations later, in 2019, I finally buckled down to spend some 6 months working on a revamped, action packed, grand in scale Megaman X vs. Zombies 3! I'd work on it daily, syncing the files between my laptop and desktop at home to never lose pace working on it. Of course, there were many times where I was gonna give up on it and quit making it. Thankfully those times passed, and onwards I pressed to realize Megaman X vs. Zombies 3. At one point, it was gonna feature a part animated from one of my fans! This is the part! https://youtu.be/KGZ_uYjb_co

Also, as the animation was nearing like 75%, I made this iMovie trailer to explain the plot of the episode, as the episode itself was so grand in scale with the war against the Zombies that there was no spoken dialogue in the actual episode itself https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/736431

It was sad to stop working on Megaman X vs. Zombies 3. It was really hard but ambitious to make. I hope the epic shines through from it, and that it and the series as a whole brings smiles to people's faces.

Regardless of if you never watched this before or have already, I hope you take this chance to see Megaman X vs. Zombies 3 once more! :D

Cheers,

-Nano

Hey NG, Nano here! Uploaded my newest sprite animation to Youtube earlier today, if you want to take a look check my Youtube channel out in my links! If you can wait, however, will upload here to Newgrounds, my original sprite animation home, soon enough! Other than that, I have a few projects going on behind the scenes. Also as of late, I'm feeling motivated to participate on Twitch again, thanks to my good animation buddy! So that's how things are going with me as of now

Hey Newgrounds! I'm trying to get into streaming as of this post. https://www.twitch.tv/nanosoftanimations That's the link to my Twitch, which I added to my links on Newgrounds as well. I'd like to explain that I will be staying on Newgrounds! I have a few WIPs for sprite animations I'm working on, alongside my paid sprite animation gig which is the main priority animation wise as of now. I hope to share at least some of these projects with you sooner than later hopefully! Be sure to check out my Youtube as well https://www.youtube.com/c/NanoSoftanims for certain sprite animations that aren't on my Newgrounds (yet) in the meantime for the wait in between my animations!

Hey NG, figured I'd update you on my current projects. There's this paid sprite animation I'm working on for a client but that's on hold for now, and a personal sprite animation I'm working on as well. It's tough sprite animating while having work guzzle up most of your time. So little time to animate and when I do have it, I'm usually not in the mood these days. This sucks lol it's a miracle I'm still even animating at all tbh

I remember the og Megaman X vs Zombies fans on Newgrounds from when I started the series fresh...they were waiting for the 3rd episode....I was nervous because I felt the pressure to deliver kick in

I've been starting many sprite animation WIPs only to get bored with them and not see them to the end, I'm just sitting on many unfinished WIPs. There's hope for the current one I'm making! Hopefully I'll finish it and upload it online whenether it finishes!

The progress is going great on Megaman X vs Zombies 5! To see WIPs of it and other sprite animations of mine, join my Discord server! 😁
