Alright, , let's see how this turns out!

First things first: While the movie is loading, you can flip through a mini-comic that serves as sort of a prologue to the action. Click on the little arrows where it says "PAGE" to -- well, to turn the page.

Next things next: This brawl against Saltman is actually an extension of the last brawl that ~Huoryu and I did. So for reference, you might want to peek at these: [link] [link] And if you're confused about the squid, watch: [link] You may not be any less confused, but at least you'll know there's some sort of reason for it to be there.

So... this has been a very different sort of project compared to everything else I've done so far. Saltman is a really fun character to work with, very open-ended with what he can do, and so I went all-out. I experimented freely with poses and expressions and even used a mask effect for Saltman's mouth. In the end, I'm pretty sure he upstages Baninja in the toon even though Baninja wins the conflict.

I also ended up having to make the music for it myself. All I wanted was a simple beat featuring shakers, and no one could provide. My stand-by music man had something that he thought could work for it, but he never sent me the file before he went on vacation. I searched the internet high and low but could find nothing that stood out. But I did stumble across this VST plug-in that can turn any audio into a realistic-sounding shaker, so i plugged it into Audacity and turned a bunch of punching and swooshing sound effects into shakers, and composed my own beat. It was a real headache. Music, for me, is a spectator's sport. But I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out.

If this cartoon ever gets made into a movie, we'll have to genetically engineer a Morgan L. Glover to play the part of Commander My God.

That's enough yappin' for now. Watch the cartoon!
