Updates on Primetime Primate Episode 01 - Dust in the Wind


Posted by smirkstudios - February 7th, 2011


So I guess I didn't know the Clocks were such a huge part of the NG Portal History. A certain Clock PM'd me about it all, and now I suddenly have respect for these particular spammers. Kinda makes you want to create an alternate alias, doesn't it? Who's side will you choose, the Locks or the Clocks? Remember, whether a Lock or a Clock, it's 4:20 somewhere.

Hey! Guess what I've been up to? Wow, you're a fucking bad guesser.

Well, if you must know, you've come to the right place.

Check it out, I just got done with a contest here on NG called the January Movie Jam 2011. My submission was totally kick ass, and you should check it out. Make sure you read the author comments and vote/review. It was a lot of fun, and it made me focus all my power for 48 hours. That's never happened before. I'll tell you what, I'm an A.D.D. pot smoker, and I've never been able to sit still for more than 10 minutes.

So that gets me thinking... I should do WAY MORE of this stuff. That would exercise my skills, give me challenges, and objectively move me closer to my ultimate goals. The community here offers so much, and I have used very little of the resources; until now.

Thusly and furthermore, I will be seen in the NG BBS a bit more, and will be attempting to participate in official as well as unofficial Newgrounds collabs and contests. See you out there!

Oh, and here's a random old sketch from back in the day.

Contests, Collabs, What Have You...

Hey, guys!

I've uploaded a new cartoon! The humor is a little wacky, the editing rushed, and the amateurity levels are through the roof, but I learned a lot from it, and plan to bring you folks something special REAL soon. After doing this project, I feel my skills have improved, and I can't wait to show you what's going on in my head. This was my first attempt, and 3.5 outta 5 is not bad.

Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas that you'd like to see done with this new set of characters, let me know! You never know who's advice I'm gonna take!
