I'm so excited about front page! I've wanted a spot there for a long time!

Things have been going really well lately. Getting something out of work really does wonders for the moral. Gives you a boost for the next project.
Speaking of which I really want to have something for Madness day. I was going to release a limited version of the RPG game I've been working on in the form of a Madness game, but I don't think I'm going to have enough time around the uni projects I've got running. This sucks as I've always been a fan of the series, it would be nice to pay it homage. Always next year I guess...
I'm going to be buying a drawing tablet sometime this month (Waiting for stock :S). I have been wanting to switch to a tablet for sometime now. It's got the potential to be so much faster and more fluid than the old illustrator flash import thing.
Some frame by frame stuff will be in order when that happens!
For anyone that wants some inspirational food heres a cool flash website:

Thanks again for the front page NG, mighty chuffed (Damn 'Chuffed' is a great word no?)

I agree the tablet speeds the process up dramatically and enhances the visual quality alot, as i found out when i got a WACOM to complete my animation The Myth Of Sisyphus.
I recommend the Wacom intuos 3 if you're looking for a tablet, though being an animator i'm pretty sure that you're aware of it :) But in the case of equal balance! I recommend any other make as well! :)
Oh and congratz on the frontpage:) is it your first? cause my first FP last month was with my greek myth! what a coincidence i guess they're good luck :D

Yeah man I'm definately going for a Wacom. I bought a piece of crap one a couple of years ago and it ended up being completely useless.
I was looking at getting a Wacom Graphire4 6 X 8 but do you think it's worth going up another notch?
Yeah it's my first FP, I'm quite surprised my movie got there to tell the truth...
I just watced your Sisyphus animation. I've gotta say, you've done a bloody good job mate. Best thing I've seen in a long time!
