Wow thats awesome news indeed. It's a shame that you parted ways with . 3xStudios but i can understand that irl stuff always comes first. Glad to see your on track again as well. Hope you and CE-Rap do well on the exiles and other future projects.
As i said before in your deviantart page "I can't wait to see more of your stuff that you currently have planned. (I'm Ricky-The-Werewolf in D) if your wondering).

Glad to see you tuned in for the update!

No disrespect to your 3xstudios friends but this CE-Rap guy....THAT is the guy who should have been doing your art work all along! The difference is mesmerizing! His art work is light years ahead of ol 3x! My goodness!
This is such good news I'm getting a little light headed. I'm seconds away from jumping into a daunting and brain breaking project and this just the news I needed to hear. All the best to 3XStudios and his future endeavors. I hope life goes great for him. I look forward to this episode coming out as well as ep4. :) All the best man! Take care and welcome aboard to CE-Rap.
"With FAILtality complete, I had the overwhelming urge to animate again"
--- Yes, of course. After your previous sucess with FAILtality I am not surprised.
"trying to "trade up" because that was not the case"
--- Are you sure? =3
"How soon I cannot say,"
--- Nooooo.
"the estimate and takes until June"
--- Nooooo. Of course it wouldn't ;-)
"VG Exiles Episode 3 is finally back on track"
--- Hell yeah.
"If you have a deviantArt account"
--- I do not have one sorry. I cannot show him some love.
Good Luck with VGE3. CE-Rap's art-works look AMAZING!!!
"Yes, of course. After your previous sucess with FAILtality I am not surprised."
--- Actually, success had nothing to do with it. Once I start building up momentum on animation, I obsess over it and can think of nothing else. If the Flash experience could be converted to a powder form, I would probably be snorting lines of it. "Duh! Winning!"
"Are you sure? =3"
--- Yes. That's why I made a point of saying that. It was motivated entirely by a need to get the job done. I simply understand how it might look from the outside and want to avoid the misconception.

so wait..after all that time your just throwing the old artwork out? or is the new guy just gunna finish what wasnt done?
The artwork will have to be started from scratch for continuity.
R1665
how many pages of artwork is needed for episode 3?
It's not "pages" so much as individual images. I'm afraid that number will have to remain hushed.
R1665
PANICING!!!
X_X
Yay! Can we expect Stryker to kick some ass and butt some heads? ;-)
Your stuff kicks major ass! As for future flash, maybe you and CE-Rap should make a series of segments that you can rotation tween so it would look a bit more dynamic. (Look up "Brutality" by McFretN on how to do it right.) By the way, have you considered spoofing Time Killers or Guilty Gear by any chance?
FAILtality got 5th best of month here, in the case of you or ther people didn't knew.
I just thought about this question while I was playing the mk demo have you thought about considering an X-ray move in the fight scene vge4?
Nope. X-Ray means slow-motion and slow-motion is against my choreographic policy. I won't do slow-motion, bullet-time, or DBZ stuff.
R1665
what constitutes as DBZ stuff? the same motions repeated over and over again?
and I'm dying to see Kung Lao come into this series, any plans to use him?
"what constitutes as DBZ stuff?"
Excessive fireball charging, extended power-up sequences, multi-stage redundant transformations, powerblast face-offs, etc. Pretty much anything you would regularly see in DBZ will NOT be seen in my work. Not ever.
Same goes for Naruto or any other anime decendant of DBZ.
DO NOT WANT.

............
X-ray like in suroy's flash
anyways
good luck with vge series
hope you provide the much needed gore haha.,
Peace!!!
.................
"X-ray like in suroy's flash"
While Suroy made good use of it, it is still not choreographically viable for my work.
R1665
That DBZ stuff and slo-motion stuff can be implemented well into anything fluently but I remember you making a point how its used so much into practically everything from flash to movies so its understandable you wanna keep your choreography flawless and fast pace but xray shit could really make your shit extra brutal with the cringe quality it provides so I would test it see if it fits and if doesn't then fuck your great spriter anyway your shits awesome and I'm just throwing in my drunken 2 cents anyway bro ur awesome oh and did I tell your Beast because u r.
"xray shit could really make your shit extra brutal with the cringe quality it provides"
The kind of brutality displayed by X-Ray moves, bullet-time, and slow-motion is very different to the kind of brutality that I prefer. The former excites by placing detailed emphasis on the force of one strike. The latter excites by overwhelming the viewer with a barrage of strikes.
Now, I could make you cringe by showing all the messy details of a head being smashed into concrete. However, I would much rather use that time to smash the head into concrete three additional times, show two shots to the ribs with a baseball bat, and finally fling the guy into oncoming traffic. All at full speed.
That's just how I roll.

R1665

Love Dope they're a kick ass band man.......you ever hear of Motionless In White or Rayzing Sons?
Oh sorry. But everything seems right, right? And what about Jarek?
Chimera
"And what about Jarek?"
It is a possibility, but I am going to worry about doing the fights that are already planned before I worry about new match-ups.
R1665
so whats the story of vge 3 how did these characters meet?
I'm afraid that you'll have to wait and see...
R1665
Motionless in White?
holy hell someone else on here lissons to them; small world......
Ryukang
Its awesome to see that you are going back to business with the exiles series the poster for vge2 looks awesome. I just have one question that has nothing to do with this do u think that you will do another MK FAILtality later on this year since it was such a big hit?
R1665
Probably not, to be honest.
I don't rule out FAILtality 2 or any other potential side project, but they are not my main focus. FAILtality wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the art delays. I guess that could be considered something of a silver lining.
