Im leaving Newgrounds :(

Posted by Gerkinman - August 19th, 2008


Because im going home to work on some freelance work. Yes indeed, ive had a rather large well paying animation job come in, why you ask? I dont know, i dont think im particularly worthy for such a thing, this thing being a music video that will be used in international marketing, i guess it just helps to know the right people. As i said, i dont think im particularly worthy, but ive asked a certain someone for help and im sure together we can make something special. Why am i telling you this? Because this is a news blog, and i consider it news. And ill no doubt be giving out progress updates over time.

What does it mean for my other projects is the real question. Ive already sworn to 2 collabs, one being quite a large task in itself. Along with that there were all my own shorts. I dont know what will happen, i guess ill just have to do a little bit here and there to get things done. Ontop of that i have some other people wanting some shorts done for their band, its all crazy. Hopefully at the very least ill be able to make some new Asparagus shorts, they are alot of fun and dont take a long time to put together, but we will see.

Also for those that missed it, heres a little something i released on Clockday, nothing special, just bits and pieces of Metal Gear related goodies, and by goodies i mean shit, because Metal Gear is a self indulgent load of shit, no offense to the fans.

Gerkin Gear Solid

And lastly, heres a picture of Skeletor i drawed all by my little old self. I did the front hand first, looking back at it i wished i did it the same way as i did his left hand... :(

Im leaving Newgrounds :(

Goodbye and good riddance

You have bad sonic fanart as your display pic :)

I remember you from such a long time ago. Congratz on the job and good luck

Haha! The second part of your flash was exactly how I felt when I finally gave in and watched MG Awesome for the first (and only) time. I didn't even make it through to the end. I closed after about five minutes in when I relised I had wasted my time and if I watched anymore I would strangle myself to death (a gun not being readily accessible).

Thanks man, you've given me a lot of minor chuckles throughout your years on here.

<3

Im not going anywhere :P

awesome news man,, congrats

yeh, im pretty stoked, if not a little nervous.

The skeletor pic is awesome! Funniest skeletor i have seen so far. Come back soon and greetings from germany!

is this a new fad or sometihng to leave Newgrounds?

Nobody is leaving, read the news :P

mmmmmmmmm video

mmmmm $$$

ah so you are just taking the mickey out of jazza right?

What? Sure, okay :)

Goodbye and good riddance

wow that suucks. i was only starting to Llove you :(

Lol, perhaps you should read the whole journal. Im not going anywhere :P

Cool, good luck in your new job.
Why did you submit that flash on Clock day?, there could have been a hilarious fanboy uproar. : (

Because it wasnt something i was particularly proud of, as far as im concerned it was a spam piece.

yeah I said the same thing lol

Later

You're too good for us, huh?

To busy?

fuck yourself with a machete

I tried that once, it was most messy.

you can go but the Skeletor stays goddammit!

His legs are too short, hes going nowhere.

you lazy lazy boy!!

See ya!
We'll miss you.
Hope you'll visit ^^

Didn't RubberNinja -just- use this joke? Boooo.

Sure did, and once again, 50% of the people reading it dont realise its a joke.
