Asslevania, the past, the future

>(^..^)<

Asslevania is a silly short about farts, vampires, and a game that I hold dear to my heart, Castlevania : Symphony of the Night (far from the best game I've played, I just had a lot of memories associated with it).

It was because of those memories that I created my first flash toon, published here on Newgrounds, CastleFailure : SotN. After reaching 100k subs on Youtube, I wanted to do something, at least remotely related to what got me started.

After a couple years of animating, I feel I've progressed, but clearly have so far to go. Seeing all the wonderful work my friends have done, I've quickly come to terms with the fact that I'll never be the funniest animator, or the most skilled animator, but the goal has never been to be best ... it's been to share laughs with you guys and personally grow as an artist, of which I feel I'm on the right path.

In other news! Pico Day was awesome! Meeting everyone was really wonderful, and much needed. Got to hang with Stamper, Chris, Zach, and Cory for a couple days. Man, I really miss the East Coast.

You have progressed so much in 3 little years. I can't wait to see what you make in the next 3

RicePirate 2013-05-07 13:19:47

ugh, who knows how many years I have left, GOTTA GO FAST!

Blue-SilverDragon 2013-05-07 13:38:28

You really have improved in your animation over time here at NG- you've risen to be amongst the best here. Here's to continued improvement on your animations and friendships, RicePirate! b(^_^)d

RicePirate 2013-05-07 13:38:28

I don't think i'm one of the best, but certainly one of the most consistant in terms of keeping my voice and animations uploaded.

Not only is the guy on the right not wearing matching clothes, he's also tilting his head the other way.

RicePirate 2013-05-07 14:02:24

Despite my exhausted condition, it was a pleasure to meet you! Hope you took some pizza and other East coast goodies back home with ya! Asslevania looks great; you're getting the hang of this animation thing!

RicePirate 2013-05-07 16:13:03 (Updated 2013-05-07 16:40:30)

Getting the hang of it ... but still very far from where I'd like to be.

staaahp impreveehing maare thin mah in e smolla tahme :CCCC

RicePirate 2013-05-07 16:46:44

I dunno if sticking strictly to anime style is helping or hindering. but your work has gotten much better over time so shut up

VidGameDude 2013-05-07 16:50:55

funny, i would've made that four shot since my shaving.

RicePirate 2013-05-07 16:50:55

there were so many shaved heads at the party... i felt at home

bocodamondo 2013-05-07 17:02:52

RicePirate 2013-05-07 17:02:52

i will, i like to space them out.

Twisted4000 2013-05-07 18:42:50

Man, if I wasn't broke, I'd love to come on over and hang out with all you guys. Ah well, maybe next year. And yes, you have certainly come along way and are only getting better in your toons! Can't wait to see more!

Apatheria 2013-05-07 18:47:19

MmmMmmmmm, 'dem bald heads.

Mick you've progressed so much as an animator, it's almost unbelievable. Keep kickin' dem booties.

Jonimator 2013-05-07 20:35:35

Holy! It's seriously crazy how far you've come with your animating! I love the style you've got going right now. Also congrats on the 100k subs!

Emrox 2013-05-07 22:21:04

swell work, friend. Hugs and kiss

Malachy 2013-05-08 01:18:26

Dude, you're up in the top tiers and it's only taken 3 years. Shit, the amount of high quality work you produce in such a short time is mind boggling. When I first started viewing flash toons and games back in 2002 it took months and years for guys like chuloid to produce a small film. I shared your pacman flash on Facebook the other and said you animate better than cartoons I grew up watching that had whole teams behind the scenes and I meant it. Holy shit dude you've already submitted another 4 awesome flashes since you made that one!

Keep it up!

YoutubeIsawesome 2013-05-08 02:02:30

What exactly can you accomplish

Cyberdevil 2013-05-08 03:42:37

Not my favorite short of yours, but the collaborative work with Shadman turned out great. Didn't realize he's been making backgrounds for animations too... seeing those without anything explicit was a strange experience!

JP as in <a href="http://jp.newgrounds.com/">http://jp.newgrounds.com/</a> ?

jecjoker 2013-05-08 09:07:01

Congrats!
Now you need to change that realization, you won't ever be the other animators but you will ALWAYS be RicePirate! I've loved your work from the beginning for that and always will love it for that reason.

Buujack 2013-05-08 12:10:56

you look like that guy from fullmetal jacket, that took suicide. just sayin.

TomFulp 2013-05-08 15:27:41

Sorry I said your bald heads were blinding me with reflected sunlight... Although they actually did light up when I aimed the camera at them and it had to adjust... lol

I'm gonna totally lose my hair now.

RicePirate 2013-05-08 15:27:41

no way ... too much of it ... it's impossible.

Ryallen 2013-05-08 17:25:56

I don't know about your skill as an animator, which apparently is very high, but I've always seen you as one of the better, if not best, voice actors on Newgrounds, because everytime I see that you're in a video, I always try to find where you are, but I never can because I don't know what your voice sounds like!

RicePirate 2013-05-08 17:25:56

yay :]

DarkonFullPower 2013-05-08 22:04:38

Going to guess you've seen <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/77649">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/77649</a> before.

RicePirate 2013-05-08 22:04:38

I HAD NOT! That's awesome! lol
