Well with things the way they are, and my work cut out for me on the DVD series, I have also decided to add to my work load to get attention for the DVD release. Taking full advantage of the tools available to me, I have decided to allow Newgrounds to host the prelude story to Sihde. This story will give some initial background and foundation to the DVD series, setting itself after the Moscow Incident that made Eastern Europe a barren wasteland and during the World War that follows it. This wil be a flash animation and will only be the tip of the animation potential of the actual series, but if you really want to follow Sihde and it's official storyline, the first origin storywill get no more official to an actual running mini series as Sihde: Prelude. Watch this space and please rate the series when it starts

Animatics and profesional presentation

Been a while I know, so much to do and so little time to fit this project into it, though I am determined to release it as soon as I can. To be frank any sales would be good at this point. Things are as tight as an Indian drum, and I know I;''m not the only one in that prediciment right now. If anything such financial restraint has only gone to encourage myself, as if I sit around waiting for e-mail responses or jobs to fall on my lap nothings going to happen. Bad time to be a grpahoc designer it seems. Still I managed to get Vue d'esprit 6 working on my computer and finally came up with a rough animatic as to how I'd love my animation to look.

Vue 6 is a wonderful tool, and mixing it with my other tools has allowed me to create a more profesional world foor Sihde. As you can see from the examples below. Also it's tooning capabilities are fantastic and help me to create great anime looking vieces and aircraft.

So as you can see, a lot of work to come, but I also have to keep my feet firmly on the ground. If the opportunity to makke some money for the family arrives, it takes top place everytime.
