So, this idea for this new video has been tossed around since I ended my original series back in 2013. I always felt it lacked a real ending. Yes, the way it ended was a way to wrap up Pedro's story and I'm happy with the entire project. But one aspect I always wanted to touch on was how his actions affected his surviving family. The only problems was that I never knew HOW. And I realize now, looking back, that I was not prepared to tell such a tale. Nor did I have the skills or dedication to do so in a newer, more superior way to Overseer. I didn't want to replicate my silhouette art style. I wanted to improve.

Hence, Crestfallen. It was my opourtunity to practice frame by frame animation. Admittedly, most of my time was spent experimenting with the software more than practicing animation. I learned animation fast and I was proud of my work. I wanted more. But more problems arose: I was not good at drawing people and I wasn't comfortable with myself for the life I lived. I was unfocused.

I took steps and fixed both problems. My people drawing skills have gotten much, much better and I am wrapping up military service. I've grown in personality, physicality, and in skill. I've found my identity as a man. And I know what kind of projects I want to make. And I know what to do to make them happen.

With all this, I was advised to revisit this story and come at it with my new perspective. And I'm glad I did. Because I now know what I want to say, how to say/show it, and how to sort of "end" my last story while making it its own standalone tale.

I'm currently in the preliminary stages, and am actively seeking out talent. I've found excellent people on Newgrounds to express interest to (though I won't do so until I have an animatic to show to show I'm dedicated). All I can show atm is this:



Will update. Still doing Marine Corps. stuff atm as well.
