I could have sworn you did this a long time ago. Am I mistaken?

I think i did a number of years back, then had a massive year suddenly and put out tonnes of content.

I'm sad now.

Carry the torch my friend.

Aww man.

you cant really "retire" from animation in the same way you cant retire from art.
Hopefully in the furute you will find a work that lets you exploit your film making talents.
still, kinda sad to hear you are on a dry season :(
the part about the telescope reminded me about myself and the voodoo flash I made. Man its just... life gettin in the way :(

If it was my life id be as happy as larry, or harry? ;D

But its not as much as id like it to be, and i just feel awful starting things and never getting to touch them.

lol furute

Furute is what comes after the future.

ONOH ILLUMANATEH AHH!!!! :o

lal

it's a break, not a retirement. come back later, i'm sure 5 or 6 of us might vaguely remember you. we'll do a "Gerkinman's Comeback Collab."

Ha ha, that idea blows my mind, Gerkinman hasn't been seen since 2008 lol.

:[.

There there mate, there there.

I never quite understood the point of "retiring" from a hobby. I mean, usually life takes people in a lot of directions, something tells me at some point in your life you're probably going to end up animating something again. Retiring from it seems kinda pointless. Good luck on your graphic novel, I'm sure it's gonna look awesome.

Retiring probably isn't the right word, i mean i don't want to do this as a hobby anymore, im pretty determined to find a way to do this as a profession.

The graphic novel will look just like the screens ive posted.

there goes my only true fan :`(( sad to c u go!!!!

ps: loldix

Ill always be your biggest fan, cant wait to see more dave ;D

ahh dude its a shame you're giving up on animating the telescope, it was looking pretty cool

still good luck with the comics

I was really happy with it when i started it a year ago, i don't know if i've been working on it so long that i hate it or if it just no longer meets my vision. Im just glad im getting it finished in one form or another. Im all about the story, not the medium its told in.

you'll find your way back buddy, it'll take sometime but you'll come back too animating one day and have as much fun as you've ever had in you life! Sure it'll be awhile but.. idk live the life you need to live, but NG and all the art, flashes, and other crazy shit will still be here for you.

I dont mind waiting .

Im sure NG will still be here in 4 or 5 years, and its not like im going to stop watching toon's here and posting the occasional drawing.

pretty good art skills there, the triangle with the eye reminds me of the one pyramid with the eye from doodle god

Yeh, that's the "eye of providence" ;D

It really sucks that you're going to quit animating for a while because I really liked your Alison promos, Like A Brother, and Out There.

I didn't know anyone liked Alison ha ha

Oh shit, so does that mean No Australian Collab. I really love your animation. But you are not retiring because later on whenyou find spare time you will animate. Just say that you will not be doing as much.

I'm sad now

: MasterAardvark rip off

No no, im still in the collab, i can handle something small like that. :)

Hey, when you get your comic published, give me the link to buy it.

lol good post but you gotta check out this site that gives you FREE Xbox Live and PSN points before Microsoft or Sony shut it down! its called <a href="http://freegamerpoints.net">http://freegamerpoints.net</a> and ive been using it for awhile its great, especially with Black Ops on the way :P

I've just discovered your work!! And that's sad... ah well.

It's at least I could view what you've done and I could see your comics also. :3
