Hi all!
First of all I'd like to thank all of the users who voted, PM'ed and reviewed my latest flash. I'm very happy that so many people liked it so much and I feel the power to make more good stuff.

Talking about new stuff: I'm going back to a concept of story-based action series I stared making one year ago. I've changed the whole idea 100% and the story is shaping up pretty well in my head. I'll be making some concept drawings soon and then I'll write a scenario with a storyboard. The development will start most probably in October and hopefully I'll release the first episode by new years eve.

I'm planing to make about 5-6 episodes, 5-10 min each. Faces and emotions with lip synch will be hell of a job to animate. I'll introduce some animation methods that are new for me. Also I'll be trying to make less side-scrolling scenes and include some 3d vehicles and weapons. In my opinion 3d in 2d animation is pretty bad because it doesn't fit animation's style. That's why I'll have to do many experiments to make sure that everything is perfect. I took all advices and critique by heart to make sure that everyone is satisfied. I'll keep you informed about everything.

From other news I've finally put my modest site online. You'll find there interesting animation tutorials every week. For example you can learn how I make my muzzle flash effects and weapons. To acquire your tutorials password simply join the forum and head over to tutorials board. I've created this forum for you to have influence on my work, site content etc. In forum's 'tutorials' section you can tell me what you'd like to learn. You can check it out here and the forum quick registration here.

I also visited a shooting range this week and it was totally awesome. I know that in US weapons are like bread in the shop but here in Europe weapon access is pretty restricted. Now I have some personal experience with shooting real guns and so my animations should also profit from it. S&W Magnum 357 is my favorite handgun from now on.

It's monthly voting time and I'd be cool to get your support with Intruder Returns. I think that Totem destroyer is also worth your votes.

Thanks for your attention!

PS: I'll be spending next two weeks by the sea so don't get angry if I'll be silent on your PMs and e-mails.
