25th May 2008: Fuck...

Yep, that's right. there's only one word to describe this news thread... fuck! You'll never guess what... my mac fucked up again >:( BUT! (now before you start saying "ya see?! MACS ARE SHIT!!! MUAHAHAHA IF YOU HAD A PC NONE OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!" because that's where you'd be COMPLETELY wrong. I caused the problem, NOT THE MAC, ME! I tried to install windows without doing the instructions, and it deleted leopard. so I decided to remove windows and format the hard drive and install leopard again. and actually, problems could have been happening if I used a PC, it's ME, not the computers, it's the way I use them, Let me make it clear, NOT THE MACS OR PCS FAULT, ONLY MINE!!!!!!!!!! alright? plus if I didn't have a mac, my songs would have never been made, by cartoons would have sucked even more , and I would have to have coped with all these shitty wires and HUGE HUMMING and stuff like that. and don't go on saying "Well macs can't play games" because THAT'S THE SOUL REASON WHY I BOUGHT A MAC! ALL I do is develop cartoons and music and talk to people on skype and MSN, I have never fealt the need for crappy online game for the omputer, i've got a wii and a 360 to enjoy alright?

Anyway, back to more important matters. As a result of the reboot (BY THE WAY IT'S NOT THE COMPUTER IT'S ME, IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER), I have had to reinstall flash again and start all over again with my cartoons. fortunately (in terms of music) i managed to get my music back from a good friend of mine, the guy who does toe podcasts with me. he plays my songs every now and then, and he has all of my songs, so I asked for them back, and that saved me the trouble of having to re-record everything again.

Now, in terms of ComiX. You may all beexcited about the arrival of episode three of ComiX, with all the new characters and new design for them.... Youre gonna have to wait until Episode 4 now! Yep I'm sorry, but sicne the mac rebooted I lost Brian and Ged, and I really don't want to draw them right now. So You'll still see the dramatic difference with Gordon and Ian, because they're still gonna be in it, but Ged and Brian will be postponed for Episode Four. This means there will be a new storyline, and a much better approach. I just realised that when I worked on the 2 first episodes of ComiX, it was easy to animate and voice act on time, so that's also an advantage for ComiX Three, because now I can work the same way as I did for ComiX One and Two. Unfoertunately You're still gonna have to wait a little longer, as I've still got exams to do. HOWEVER, I've got a whole week off right now, so I can get working on ComiX Three, THEN after my exams I've got Three glorious months off of te final year of school and then hopefully i will be carrying on into music college at the end of August, in which I will be doing a lot more with ComiX, Maximus and Epical Trance during the gap between school and music college. Three months, absolutely amazing :').

Oh, and a new episode of the podcast me and knoxfan25 do, this time we've interviewed lefthandedsock :P You can check out the episode at http://www.thisandthat.tk . Personally I thought he was a great guy :D was a bit of an unorganised interview, but it was ncice to talk to him :)

Oh and i almost forgot, keep an eye out for my new podcast series "Diamond Armada FM". it will be alot more organised ya see, plsu it won't be just epical trance music, it will be music from anywere, especially form the newgrounds audio portal. so ye if you wanna be interviewed and you're famous, email me at diamond-armada@hotmail.co.uk or if you have skype, add diamond-armada, or if it's aim, diamondarmada08 :)

I leave you with a pciture showing the moods I've been in today :)

Keep Updated! o0 Will Ryan 0o

 

23rd May 2008: Busy Busy Busy!

Hey guys! Ok, I have been caught up with exams lately, but that has stopped! I have now got a lot of free time on my hands, so I am back with animating.

Anyway, I will be making a new series along side ComiX called "Maximus!" Now, Maximus is basically about this guy who thinks he's evil and tries to do all these big great evil deeds, but always instead does some good deeds, messes up on some occasions or just crys in front of people. Each episode will be based on his life and will be a series of shorts, basically meaning these episodes will be short, but that's only because there's not really that much to talk about in these episodes. So if I ever do make a ComiX DVD, along side that DVD will be 2 other CDS, and extras CD and the Maximus series! here's a little picture of the Maximus Menu!

ComiX wise I am starting to get back into animating the third episode again. I have lost my writers block ever since I thoguht of Maximus, so I've gotten back to animating ComiX again. I think that I will do is I will add an episode of ComiX onto newgrounds and then after that a Maximus episode and then another ComiX episode etc. So ye expect some decent progress and a decent episode of ComiX Episode Three! Here's a little screen shot of how far I've gotten. Ya gotta love his face!

Now, About my solo band! I have pretty much almost finished the last song to go along the solo album, and then I will be releasing it... well... that's the thing... I don't know how to publish such a record. So if you guys could give me some suggestions on how I can go on with doing this? But in the meantime if you live locally in Leeds, or anywere in the UK, look out for tour dates for Epical Trance. Keep checking up on http://www.myspace.com/epicaltrance for tour dates. I might be doing a lot of tours during the 3 months of awesomeness of no school forever time, so ye look forward to some awesomeness there :)

next off, I am hosting a collab! check out the info here! We need more people in this collab, seriously! lol: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/908712/1

Finally, some of you may of heard about rina-chan's newest interview experience. yep, me and knoxfan25 have made a new episode in our podcast series called "this and that with chris and will" in which rina-chan has been interviewed. we asked people on a forum website if they have any questions, and surprisingly, a lof of the were really imaature, rude and darn right wrong, so shame on you... but having said that there were some SENSIBLE questions so we used them and we managed to build up the 30 mins we have on each episode. anyway, you can check out the series on http://www.thisandthat.tk and we amanaged to make an itunes podcast, so if ya wanna check it out, go to http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZS tore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=281010473 now :)

2nd May 2008: New Website design!

Hi everyone! Wow I haven't been on this website for YONKS! so ye I guess it's time to update!

First of all, as you can see, new website design! that's right, I decided to mix it with the theme of black and red because I just love those colors mixed together (I loved them ever since I started making my epical trance myspace page) and as you can se on the banner there are characters from different series, on the left is Gordon and Ian from "ComiX!" and on the right theres Taibron, Draeton, Sergeant Phillips and Parlo from "No Hope In Hell!" and me in the midle for the reunited "Will + Co!"

Secondly, the first 2 episodes of ComiX have been posted to newgrounds! you wish to watch them? go to diamond-armada.newgrounds.com and in the animatinos section of my profile search for Comix Episodes One and Two!

Thirdly, if you haven't noticed I have formed a Solo project and a 2 man band in terms of music. the solo peice being "Epical Trance!" and the 2 man band being "Land of Hell!" you can find out mor about them when you search the navigation bar for the band names!

Thirdly, I guess I'd better show you some pictures huh?

These are snapshots of what I have so far for ComiX. I shall post a storyboard animation soon so you can geta little preview of the next episode!

Finally, my friends requested me to put a link on the navigation bar llinking to the King of Corn episodes, so ye you can check that out by gonig to the nav bar now! theres only one episode, but hopefully recording is coming up shortly so we can get some episodes up :) I am the guitar fellow, because..... I dunno why, I guess its cus I can play guitar :S... anyway, yu can check out the first episode now!

Well I guess that's all I can update on for now, so...

Keep Updated! o0 Will Ryan
