Animations of 2018

Crowfolly 2018-12-31 | I'm back again heyo.

So yeah, 2018 has been nice, but I didn't get to do a whole lot this year, as per usual. Also not too happy with progress, AS PER USUAL. But enough of that, I have plans. HOO BOY do I have plans, hehehe... Anyhow another short end of year summary of animations, enjoy! (sorry the quality is so crap I had a terrible time rendering this thing)

Happy new year! On to 2019! I'm a little excited for things I have in mind for next year, so look forward to that! Also more on Project Soup coming later probably lol

OH also I added to my bio about the progress of episode 2, not too far into it I'm afraid but hopefully I'll be updating it soon.

Song: Highlander -LhoU

(spoilers what spoilers lol I dunno what you're talking about)

Sheepies Piano Performance

Crowfolly 2018-12-28 | This was supposed to be for Christmas but I sorely overestimated my ability to finish things on time lmao

But anyway yeah, sorry this was a little rushed. I would've liked to do more with it but I'm already two days behind so... Merry-two-days-after-Christmas and happy holidays, hope you guys had a good one!

So yeah, I'll probably have some map parts coming while I wait for some lines for episode 2, and I also have this other video idea that I really want to do. I'm calling it Project Soup lol. Though I don't know how long that's going to take me so don't expect it anytime soon lmao.

I'll try to get an 'Animations of' video by the end of the year, but if I don't make it on time happy new year! See y'all later.

OVERGROWTH Updates + Speed Paint

Crowfolly 2018-11-26 | Yeah here's a thing, like I said in the video I've been kinda busy so progress is slow but I'm still working on it don't worry haha.

In the meantime, since I don't have much to upload while I work on episode 2, is there anything in particular you guys would like to see from me? Maybe some specials or random behind the scenes/trivia about OVERGROWTH? I can't guarantee I can get to it quick with my current situation, but I'll see what I can do. Plus I'm curious!

I have some ideas in mind that I would like to work on(some not OVERGROWTH related) when I'm taking a breather from the episode, so that could be another thing to look forward to. I also have a MAP idea that I'd really like to host, but it'll take some planning.

Anyway yeah, just some updates for now, sorry I've been gone for a while!

Mystery sheep is back again from my pilvet part, though I guess this narrows it down LOL

ANYWAY HI it's been a while! Sorry for the lack of uploads lately, a lot of stuff came up on me and I didn't have as much time to animate as I'd like. So...some updates!

I'm working on episode 2...but slowly haha. I've been able to get most test run lines from the voice actors and I'm currently storyboarding out the episode.

I also have a new idea for a map, though I'm not sure when that's going to be a thing because it's requires some planning and I don't have a lot of time right now. But we'll see!

Anyway yeah that's about it, hope you enjoy this part! Something simple to get back into the swing of things lol

....

Okay now, this is the dumbest thing I've ever made have fun happy first of April I find old memes funny.

On a side note this is the first time introducing characters not Overgrowth related in a while heh. These characters are OOOLLLLDD, like, older than Overgrowth old. Tin and Razz fight each other over reasons that was in a video I never finished lmao.

And fun fact, the reason Razz kinda looks like the deer from Overgrowth is cause they both used to be a bipedal deer that shot lasers but they eventually diverged lol

Audio in the last bit is from the SNL short Dear Sister

Crowfolly 2018-03-24 | Eyy I've been wanting to upload these two parts together because giant rock monsters but the second part took me SO LONG to finish sooo...yeah. I also got caught up in a lot of other stuff so I didn't get to upload these parts till now.

and Roundtable Rival from earlier this year is for this MAP:
youtube.com/watch?v=Y4_w1fF6Wt4
Dani sure likes to get chased by things heh...I can't believe it's been over 3 years already.

Anyway I was putting off uploading a lot of other MAP parts and other video ideas because I wanted to take care of all the OVERGROWTH stuff, but I'm trying to balance the two now...but yeah update on episode two: I'm still working on the script ehhheh sorry.

Why Casting Call Results is Taking So Long

Crowfolly 2018-03-11 | once again overestimated my ability to finish something in a timely manner lmao
Animating antlers is FUN.

Animations of 2017

Crowfolly 2018-01-01 | Wow I didn't think I was going to make it whew.

HI LONG TIME NO SEE sorry for the lack of update but as you can probably see from how late this video was I'm dying from work but anywhoooo...yeah I didn't get to animate a whole lot this year.

I dedicated most of 2017 to working on episode one and right after that I basically had zero time to do anything else...which is why like half the clips are from that lol
I usually don't like to put unfinished work in these reels but I barely had enough to fill up the song SO...yeah, some clips are subject to change eheh.

But quick update about the casting call, I'm going to animate clips to the auditions which is why it's taking me forever so thanks for bearing with me haha

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

OVERGROWTH Casting Call (2) -CLOSED-

Crowfolly 2017-10-22 | (((EDIT:12/1/17 OKAY I'm still a bit behind on getting to auditions so I'm going to spend a bit responding. All those who have commented earlier will be considered including those who I've talked with that might be submitting late)))

(((EDIT: Auditions playlists HERE: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb4ALzR6MEaZfxt6tOk-AZn_T48hF9dSV
I've fallen a bit behind on getting to the auditions so apologies! Some things popped up and I'm sorry about being late, I'll get to them asap but the ones in this playlist are ones I have heard already, give them a listen if you so desire!)))

Here it is! Took me a while to get this all together, but yeah! Hope you audition, I look forward to it if you decide to!

RULES/INFO:
-Tentative deadline at November 30th. I may not close it afterwards, but due to past experiences it's probably better to have a date of some sort, so please get the auditions in before then! I definitely won't close it prior to that date, but afterwards I can't say for sure.
-Anyone is free to audition! I'd prefer a video for the audition so I can keep tabs on it but if you can't for whatever reason I'll accept email too, just let me know. (If you're going by email let me know your youtube username or whatever you want to go by)
-Have a clear mic, I'd prefer minimal background noise (and since these characters will be yelling on the occasion please be sure not to clip the audio)
-Make sure you can commit some time to this project, these characters has a lot of lines and I'll need to be able to contact you and get lines in a timely fashion.
-Be able to emote well! These characters will be seeing an array of emotions/battles so articulating well and being able to make some grunts/fighting noises is necessary too.
-The age indicated with the characters isn't the age required to audition! It's just what they should sound like.
-You are absolutely free to improvise lines/create completely new ones in addition to the given ones too! I'm not making it a requirement but it's a nice way for me to get insight on your interpretation of the characters. Plus it's always a joy to hear haha.
-Anyone with previous roles in Overgrowth are still welcome to audition!

***Send me the link on THIS VIDEO. It'll keep everything organized. I'll check my spam folder to make sure nothing gets booted but in case I don't indicate that I've seen it please let me know.
I'll try my best to leave a short comment on your video but in case I'm unable to I'm also keeping a playlist of auditions. Sorry in advance if I'm unable to comment/late commenting, I haven't been able to go online that often anymore.***

OKAY on with the lines! I'm glad to be able to finally reveal their names...winkwink.
(Some lines are made up and not actually from the story for the sake of spoilers)

LINES:
***Ember-
1. (Angry/exasperated, going on a tirade, comedic somewhat)
"You IDIOTS! What, did you think that just because I'm a fox it's okay to just walk up to any other foxes and strike up a conversation like regular old pals?! And to go to their den, their DEN of all places! Do you /want/ to die?!"

2. (Exasperated once again, guess who)
"Well if you'd /paid attention/ to any sort of geography class, you'd know there's snow in the mountains, and unless you want to freeze your legs off, you probably wouldn't want to go up there. (Pause, then muttering to herself) Wait, do sheep even get education?"

3. (Threatening)
"All right, buddy. Leave those kids to me, and nobody gets hurt."

4. (Calmer this time, somewhat patronizing)
"You know for once that's actually a pretty good idea. Good for you, you're finally using that brain of yours."

5. (Serious, apologetic, quieter)
"Hey, sorry about everything that's happened. What are you going to do now?"

6. (Urgent, warning)
"Hey! Get out of here, it's dangerous!"

***The Deer-
1. (Welcoming)
"Why hello there! It's nice to see new faces, I don't get many visitors around here."

2. (Mocking, doing a fake, somewhat falsetto voice)
"Oh /no/, you wouldn't do anything to harm little ol' me would you?"

3. (Haughty, talking about someone's home)
"What? You're surprised that I found this place? Oh please. I've known about it for quite some time already, just never bothered to come visit. Nice place you got going here, though, like what you did with those rocks."

4. (Serious, dark tone, somewhat morbid)
"Those good for nothing wolves...I say we just let them tear themselves apart. Maybe even help them a little, heheh."

5. (Lighthearted again, flippant)
"Yes, yes, predators, dangerous, blah blah blah we get it. Don't worry though, I've got the trees on my side!"

6. (Reminiscing, a little melancholic, slow)
"Yeah, it's really quiet here. I do miss him."

I do believe I've covered all the bases, sorry for the long lines but there's less characters this time eheh. I'll be off working on map parts and the script for episode 2 when I'm not lamenting over school. See ya!

Something About Overgrowth

Crowfolly 2017-10-09 | FIRST OFF THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH A WARM RECEPTION FOR EPISODE 1.
I don't think I've properly stated this to most people but I have been thinking about what to do with this series (ie. changing to PMV episodes, or a comic, etc) but I'm sticking with my guns and keeping it animated for the foreseeable future.
YES I am going to be working on episode two for those wondering, but I can't guarantee I'll get it done fast because ever since school started I haven't been able to find a lot of time to just draw and stuff.

So quick trivia I guess but Overgrowth in its earlier form was structured to be.....wait for it..TWENTY-SOME EPISODES LONG. YEAH I know it's dumb and I'm insane for thinking I'll be able to get that many episodes done in my early life with the pace I'm going at SO. I've been rewriting the story and cutting out fluff that would be nice but not necessary for the narrative as a whole..it's cut down to like..8-10 eps now?? I think. I'm still working on it. But that's still a lot so I at least hope to get to episode 4-5, because we get some insight on a certain character and I just generally really like the story arc there but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Bottom line is I'll do my best to work on this series (I've been experimenting with ways to speed up the animation process), but it'll still probably take me some time...there's personal life and stuff to deal with and also I'd like to venture down other projects and ideas I've had. I've been putting a lot of things on hold in favor of Overgrowth episode 1, and I want to explore them some more too. Thank you in advance for your patience, I'm sorry for having to make you guys wait.

(((I don't think this video made much difference since most didn't know I was pondering changing the format anyhow...heh I guess this is just some info dump for those curious. If you're here thanks for reading!)))

-------

OKAY I WANNA SAY THIS TOO. I was really groggy and pressed for time when I uploaded episode 1, so the description was all over the place and I didn't get to say something I've been meaning to for a while.
For a period from like..late 2015-most of 2016 I was feeling really bad about my art and animations and I did for a short while think about giving up on Overgrowth. If it wasn't for this amazing community full of so many supportive and kind people, I think I would have given up on this project altogether...so yeah, I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but thank you so much for the support. Overgrowth wouldn't be a thing without you guys.
SOrry for the cheese I'm bad with words and stuff but I was kicking myself for not saying this sooner, thank you.

OVERGROWTH Episode 1

Crowfolly 2017-08-11 | FOR THOSE WONDERING ABOUT EPISODE 2: youtube.com/watch?v=gG4oQoQRGes

EDIT(10/7/17): OKAY almost 2 months later I finally got the time to do a proper thumbnail whew (might fix it again here or there). Sorry for not being very active this past month or so, I hope to post something soon.
ALSO YES to those wondering there will be an episode 2! I'm working on it, the casting call should be up in a couple months when life settles down.

IT'S. DONE.
I've dreamed about this day for literal years AAAAH.

This has been quite the experience, I've definitely learned a lot through these three years of working on this project, and I'm glad to finally be able to present to you the official beginning of OVERGROWTH.

ENDING THEME: youtube.com/watch?v=YPC0H2D4oSU

Okay so this was made over the course of three years, I tried to make things look as consistent as possible but I think it's still painfully obvious which scenes were made earlier than others haha.

I wanna give a special thanks to all my voice actors, they did an absolutely fabulous job portraying all the characters and I can't thank you enough for volunteering for this project. And thanks to them the characters were really able to become who they are (OH and yeah I did end up taking out a couple of lines, I think two? For the sake of fluidity and time and some of my sanity lol so I'm sorry if some lines were missing)
AND I wanna really thank my composers as well for composing some of the tracks for this series. Seriously I can't thank you guys enough for creating pieces for this series (and dealing with my amateurish way of handling these things lol) The tracks sound absolutely amazing too AHH
And finally I wanna thank all of you out there who followed me through this entire project (and sincerely apologize for taking THREE YEARS to finish this darn thing. Yeah in hindsight it really shouldn't have taken me so long but my poor scheduling and high school made it difficult to keep at it aha...sorry again, I know this episode isn't really exciting, it's mostly setting up for ep 2 ^^")
I honestly don't think I'd be where I am if it wasn't for this community full of amazing supportive people. I'd probably still be stuck making unfinished doodle animations still haha. So thank you, all of you :')

Also yeah the script is almost three years old at this point, the dialogue is kinda meh and had some contradicting points but I got the points I needed to get across so I'm not complaining too much lol

Oh I couldn't fit this into the credits but all the sound effects are found via Youtube.

OKAY SO I wanted to get this out yesterday but there were audio problems and rendering problems and effects glitching out problems and all the worst possible things to happen and I ended up staying up REALLY late last night trying to finish this stupid thing but nope. I had to re render this thing like three times today and I'm so absolutely exhausted so that's a fun tidbit on the joys of making a 15 minute long video HHHA.

Hope you guys like it!

I'll probably be making a video talking about the whole deal with how the rest of Overgrowth is going to proceed, but for now I'm going to take a break. I'll see y'all later!

Oh btw for anyone that had their characters in the cameo shots, feel free the ask for a separate image of you characters! Most of them are saved on separate layers. Sorry for those who didn't make it in, I tried to include as many as possible by expanding a lot of the shots but alas I wasn't able to get everyone :'0

EDIT: OKAY THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE COMMENTS ALREADY AHH I'm gonna do my best to reply to as many as I can but sorry if I take a bit to get to them ;w;

Hot Milk (but not really)

Crowfolly 2017-04-01 | It's April 1st what can I say

I originally wanted to do this meme but THERE'S JUST NO TIME AAUUGHHH So yeah sorry have a crappy version instead
Original Hot Milk meme by weeniefang!

There are a few memes I wanna do in the future but it's all coming after episode one. I PROMISE.
And I also said episode one's gonna be out before the three year anniversary and I'm gonna keep that promise DAMMIT. MARK MY WORDS IT'S GONNA COME OUT IN A FEW MONTHS.

Anyhow yeah I think everything else is in the video, I think I got everyone featured in the cameo, if you see your character and I forgot to mention it please let me know! Besides the bunny-hare duo in the foreground and the sheep in the background everyone else are special guests haha
Oh and I realize some of the characters are so tiny that I figure I'd redraw them again in another shot hehe

Happy April Fools!
(I originally wanted to release episode one out today bc then it'd be a real April Fools but I didn't make it on time I cry)

Animations of 2016

Crowfolly 2016-12-26 | Oh I actually did manage to upload something else by Christmas...WELL, MERRY CHRISTMAS. AGAIN. LOL. OR WHATEVER YOU CELEBRATE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Sooo...I make it my goal every year to try to do enough animations to fill up a whole song and...I did iiiitttttt.... I CHEATED HAHA. Mostly cause I spent most of my free time this year working on episode one, and I can't really show too much of it UGH. sorry for such a sort one this year ^^"

Once again not too happy with my progress this year, as per usual, hopefully I'll get more done next year and stop moping about garbage animations yeha EXPECT EPISODE ONE DONE BEFORE THE THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. GOD I can't believe it's been 2+ years already I'M SO SORRY.

OOOooh I also have a MAP idea planned, so maybe expect that soon too? Wow possibly 3 videos in a month what is this.

Hope y'all have a great Christmas and New Years, onward to 2017!

Crowfolly 2016-03-14 | WHOOO did I have a field day with this. I'm still not quite happy with the editing so I might go back and fix a few things up later. I also tried experimenting with different methods to find an efficient way of getting stuff done quickly, buuuuut. I'm working on it. lmao

Anyhow, this is for Shilly's map:

OKAY SO. These characters are from Overgrowth, I chose them because they come WAAAYYYY later in the series and I probably won't be able to get to their story arc anytime soon so I could avoid spoilers for the story early on.
That said, I do want to go over these fellas real quick since they won't get their time in the limelight in a while xD

so, you guys probably have seen these two show up quite a bit in my recent stuff (because I was going over their stories again lately and UGH I love them lol). Their names are Wildfire and Blizzard. I wouldn't really classify either of them as hero nor villain, just two beings who could have been friends if circumstances were different.
I kinda portrayed their emotions wrong in the scene I was originally intending to animate, so just treat this like a metaphor for their actual fight. kinda lol
So yeah, these two always had scuffles and arguments all the dang time but back then it was harmless stuff, for the most part. UNTIL THE UNSPEAKABLE HAPPENEDDDDD
They basically had an extremely bad falling out and many bad things/misunderstandings happened and bam. here we are.

Oh right, if any of you are wondering why Wildfire isn't anatomically like a red panda it's because he wasn't raised by his species so he grew to adapt to the harsher life of his foster parents.
his friends did ask if he lost weight at one point lol

okay I'll stop talking BYE

Mess is Mine map

Crowfolly 2016-02-14 | It's done!!
All the animators did a phenomenal job aslkdjglsah thank you so much to all who participated, this looks so awesome!!

Oooh, and a quick happy Valentine's Day too y'all! It's a day early but shhh

Rhythm of The Night

Crowfolly 2016-01-29 | Ahhh I've been working on episode 1 for 3 weeks straight and I took a quick break to make a lil thing for y'all. I hope you like it! I had another thing planned for thanking you all for this many subscribers (seriously, 7k is insane and I can't even come to describe how much joy it brings me to see so many people liking my stuff ;w; seriously, thank you all) but that will take up too much time that I could use to make episode one. I will make it for sure in the future, but for now I hope you guys like this c:

Anyhow, this is Animus and Wildfire (you might've seen them in some of my previous animations, and I revamped Wildfire's design a tad bit whoops), their relationship is...complicated, to say the least, lol.
And yes, they're both for Overgrowth ayyyy

Original is by Silvaan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOq7J...
This was a joy to make, asgkhslkhj I just love the on beat head boops lmao

Animations of 2015

Crowfolly 2015-12-25 | HEYO HAVENT SEEN YALL IN A WHILE
but yeah, sorry for being inactive for some time, but since school's FINALLY over for now, I can really focus on my personal stuff

I didn't get to animate a whole lot the second half of the year, mostly thanks to school and also the fact that I became really frustrated with my art and animation for a long while UGH. But hey, yeah I think a improved slightly this year.
Emphasis on slightly

But seriously, this has been an amazing year and I want to thank you all for the support ;w;
And thanks so much for 6000+ subs!! Last year I only had 700 and I never would have thought this many people would like my stuff. So THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE ALL OF YOU

ONWARDS TO 2016

Song: Devil's Go Through the Night - dBu Music

Overgrowth Ending

Crowfolly 2015-10-03 | It's an incredibly bright night I tell ya

Anyhow after many, MANY ideas for what the ending visual should be I finally settled on this.

Sorry for not being so active lately I'm still working on episode 1 and making some progress (hopefully winter break will give me some time because I also have to make an animated video for one of my classes FFFFFUN)

The ending theme for Overgrowth composed by the amazing Flurry98, thanks again for this :D

And I've just hit 5k subscribers!! I've had a video in mind that's kinda like a continuation of Crepe Circulation to thank you all for this, but I'm setting episode 1 as top priority, so it'll come later, promise!
But in the mean time I just want to say thanks again for being so supportive and patient and just all around awesome, I couldn't do this without all you amazing people ;w;

EDIT: ugh the panning is atrocious I'll fix it later maybe DX

Because Its HAUNTED

Crowfolly 2015-08-20 | Remember this from way back when? Ugh I can't even look at it

First is the intro for my map
I tried to make this and the part after it related but not really...so um yeah xD

Crêpe Circulation

Crowfolly 2015-03-15 | ech

But seriously thanks for 1700+ subscribers, guys!! Have a weird video I threw together.

This started out to be a 1000+ subscribers video, but now....HOLY HECK I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

I've been having a shit time with a virus on my computer, so sorry I didn't have time to reply to all of your comments Dx

Oh yeah, I changed Sear's design a tiny bit

Also, if you can figure out why the title is what it is, I will give you a pat on the back, because that means you can follow my train of thought

Audio from: youtube.com/watch?v=b4S-O1vXoZ0

More Map Parts

Crowfolly 2015-01-25 | Woo it's been a while! My animating speed as been at an all time low, so sorry for such a short video!

First off I want to say...THANKS SOSOSOSOSO MUCH FOR 900+ SUBS HOLY HECK, I never would've thought I'd get this many, thank you so much for the support!! ;w;

I have been working on episode 1! I've story boarded parts of it already and I might put a preview up soon! c:

Okay so, first two are remakes of parts 9 and 22 (again) for Raymond Miller's Way Away MAP
youtube.com/watch?v=hGGI-MtuxoM
I REAAAAALLY didn't like the old ones and I did learn some new stuff since then so...yep.
Also, apparently my version of Flash is too cool (lemme rearrange that as OLD) to have a blur option so I have to find other ways around it and oh the joooooy.

The last one is part 11 for HulluRichie's Empty MAP
youtube.com/watch?v=y7rg3YY57Is
And today was the day we learned that Crow knows nothing about making coherent backgrounds.
This took me SO long holy shiet. One of the reasons it took so long is because I had a whole different idea when I started, but I decided to scrap it and start over, frick.
Also never ever animating avalanches EVER again.
New characters haaaay. I actually really like these two and it's a shame they aren't a part of the main plot (OVERGROWTH is filled to the brim with backstories xD). I'll give their story a proper telling sometime later though.

Okay, so I'll be finishing up a few more MAP parts and then I'll focus completely on episode 1

Animations of 2014

Crowfolly 2014-12-27 | (Not in chronological order) Well, I mean I tried to, but some are just scattered around.

Not a whole lot of improvement, I guess. But I learned a lot this year!

Thanks so much for 700+ subs, guys! I love all of you :D

No editing done, just pure animations, hope you guys like it! (I threw in some new animations from my recent projects)

Also, the video just would not render. At all. I had to render separate parts of it and re-render the whole thing three times, so I'm guessing quality is nonexistent at this point.

I've been listening to a ton of soundtracks from video games right now, that probably explains the song choice XD

Songs:
Flame Core, composed by Tomoya Ohtani, Mariko Nanba, Hideaki Kobayashi, & Namano Mushrio
Chaccaron Maccaron - El Mundo
On The Floor - IceJJFish

Many MAP Parts

Crowfolly 2014-11-25 | Two more and I'm done.
Holy heck I just.

Email is okay for sending the parts, right?

First is part 1 for Bloodyravenheart13's Christmas MAP
It's still open!
youtube.com/watch?v=IY0XZIyDliU
Merry early Christmas. Crow and Sear didn't properly decorate yet.

Frame count, because why not.

221 frames

Next is part 4 for kklps113's Vegas Lights MAP
Many lights that lag the hell out of my program yes.
I think curtains dropping is a theme for this MAP XD

198 frames

Next is parts 16 and 17 for Sepi32014's Follow MAP
I think I failed to mention before that I LOVE dragons, so say hi to Dani.
Also, I had no idea what the song is trying to tell me, but I got a frantic feel from the music itself. I'm probably way off but here you go.
Did I mention Crow shapeshifts?

331 frames

Next is part 4 for VectorentineII's Take It Out On Me MAP
Fake scenes (or not) galore. I had to remake this a billion times, at least it's done now XD
My fire has water physics. Also it made my program crash countless times, but it's all good.

137 frames

FINISHED! youtube.com/watch?v=FhROZ9CuX5U
Lastly is part 6 for HulluRichie's Eva MAP
I hope platonic love is okay, because Joey and Mei are not old enough XD
Hey, I bet some of you know where this scene is from.

294 frames

Hope you all like it.

There's so many other projects I want to do right now (there's a WoF one I'm planning on doing maybe next year, after episode 1 that is) but I have frickin' 3 projects for school due next month and goodness the stress.
But on the bright side I've gotten OVERGROWTH completely story boarded, and I think it's going to be around 22-25 episodes, but that might change.
Also, joining these MAPs is making me want to host my own, buuut...I dunno maybe later.

And one more thing, a composer for OVERGROWTH is starting a project and is in need of concept artists. Check it out if you're interested! youtube.com/channel/UC7H4C_POBrlS3ZdcOYH_znw/featured

500+ subscribers!

Crowfolly 2014-11-03 | I love all 543 of you!

It's about time I made something for you amazing people.
Hope you like it!

Crowfolly 2014-10-18 | There was something weird going on with the video, so I'm reuploading it!

Woah, just hit 500 subs! Thanks so much guys!

What a coincidence, I got part 14 in two different MAPs. I also got a part 1 in one and part 4 in another hee.

Oh hey, I was wondering if I could send these through email?

Argh I'm running out of vague stuff to put in MAPs! Solution is I started making up random stuff....or did I?
Ahahaha.....

Anyways first is part 14 for BlazetheFireDragon
When I saw that the main color was golden, I just thought, wow, Em-I mean, my fox character would be perfect for it!
Hope you like!

Second is part 14 for ventusonha
I know you asked for no watermarks, I'll take it out when I send the part!
Hope you like!

And fear not, I've also been working on OVERGROWTH's storyboard as I wait for some more lines from voice actors.
I have a few more MAP parts to get out of the way, so I'll just leave you guys with this, for now.

OVERGROWTH Q&A

Crowfolly 2014-09-21 | Here it is! This was fun to make

I tried to fit all of the original questions in there, but I had to edit a few so it fits, sorry!

Well, time to get back to work on episode 1

Song: MitiS - Life Of Sin

Way Away Songs About Something Better

Crowfolly 2014-09-17 | look at what the title did.
I'm relatively happy with how these turned out.
TRANSLATION: Give me a couple of days and I'll end up hating every single one of them.

And I just want to say thanks for 400+ subscribers!

I figured I would join some MAPs on occasion just to keep practicing my animations and do experiments. Feel free to ask me, but I won't join all of them. It depends on the part length (because I don't like uploading such short videos) and the song and whether I'm busy or not.

So I guess I'll be writing sub-descriptions for each.

First is part 6 for Jwolwie's MAP, Something Better
fun story, I was trying out the Flash 8 free trail but then the file was like lolnope the next day and I almost died. But I was able to fix the problem eventually so thank goodness.
Anyways hope you like it!
It's still open so go on and join!
youtube.com/watch?v=MdlMUNuXMtE

Next is part 7 for Lindsey Morgan's MAP, Songs About Your Girlfriend
And here is my usual way of animating. Remember how I said in the trailer that I was experimenting with new animation methods? Well this is the one I use the most.
Hope you like it!
It's still open so go on and join!
youtube.com/watch?v=g5gd5l0J8io

And finally here's part 9 and 22 for Raymond Miller's MAP, Way Away
Remade it because the previous ones were just atrocious and it was the first MAP I joined. So, while you're distracted by this, I'll just quickly hide the old ones under the couch.
Hope you like it!

Also less focus on Joey and Mei this time, say hello to new characters that may or may not be from OVERGROWTH. hehehe secrets.

The QnA is still open, you can ask the stuff here:
youtube.com/watch?v=JM4jacS_pJ8

I'm making some progress on Episode 1, 50 seconds completely done!

I also want to give a shout out to someone who composed some music for OVERGROWTH, he's doing a real cool project and you should check it out!
youtube.com/watch?v=sxA5QfkIy4A&list=UUgV0wttb6qa2H9pLhjFc7Cg

Wow long description.

OVERGROWTH Casting Call 1 Results!

Crowfolly 2014-08-16 | You guys are all awesome, I can't thank you enough

Congrats to all of you!

So yeah, I revealed Mr. Bird's name...it's not too much of a spoiler, I guess...hehe

Also, it was kinda difficult to really describe some of the character's personality because it will be a boat load of spoilers, but you guys got it!

And after hearing your amazing auditions, I decided I would add more characters and lines! That's what the additional voices are about. So yeah, I'll send you guys the script soon once I finish writing it up, lol.

Song: MitiS - Endeavours

OVERGROWTH Casting Call 1 -CLOSED-

Crowfolly 2014-08-05 | Uh yeah, I gave an explanation about the whole thing in the trailer's description: youtube.com/watch?v=MPrb8qJyJn0

Anyways, let's get on with the lines!
Some of the lines aren't in the series because I don't want to spoil anything.

EDIT: Whoops hope you guys don't mind, I added a few more lines for some characters, my apologies!

Joey:
1.-somewhat excited (because he actually has an answer this time to Milo's question...it's still the wrong answer, lol)-
"Because it's HAUNTED!"
2.-bored-
"Ugh, it's nighttime already? We didn't do anything fun today!"
3. -narrating to the audience-
"Yep, that's me, doing the boringest, wait, is that a word? -slight pause- doing the most boring thing ever."
4.-really scared/surprised-
"Ahh! what's wrong with his face?!"
5.-kinda sad/kinda freaked out...mixed emotions-
"She....she's dead..."
6.-Kinda over-the-top freaking out-
"I knew it! We're all gonna die!"

Mei:
1.-(Joey brings up an insane idea)-
"Are you CRAZY?!"
2.-sarcastic, kinda-
"Sure, everything is simple if you put it that way."
3.-freaked out-
"Forget about that, let's get out of here!"
4.-asking for directions-
"Uh, excuse me? Do you know the way out of this forest?"

Milo:
1.-annoyed, kinda teacher-like-
"Joey! Stop daydreaming and answer my question!"
2.-the 'wow you're stupid' attitude-
"No, you imbecile, because there's predators like wolves and foxes and large birds. Not because it's haunted."
3.-dramatically recites a famous quote-
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
4.-trying to pull off being confident...then chickens out-
"Well, I'll be taking my chances down here!.....-pause- Okay, wait up!"

Fatty:
1.-cheerful-
"Hey, you're just in time! Grandpa's about to start another story!"

Mr. Bird:
1.-trying to gain trust, but is lying-
"Now, why would I ever lie to you? I'm the most trustworthy bird around here!"
2.-Confidently escapes-
"Would you look at the time! Well I gotta run!" -flies away...kinda funny? because he said 'run' but actually flew hahaaa....nah-

Mr. Goat:
1.-sounds crazy-
"Oh, the Lost Forest? I-I have absolutely NO idea what you're going on about......-takes a look around-........You don't want to go there. Run away. Run fast, run far."

Village Elder:
1.-cheerful-
"Well, young ones, which story would you like to hear this time?"

Mother Sheep:
1.-sound like a mother...lol-
"This way, little one."

Sheepy:
1.-Excited-
"Grandpa, can you tell us one of your stories?"

Please audition for all of them if you can!
Feel free to alter the lines a bit, as long as it has the same meaning.
I just ask for you to have a decent microphone...as little background noise as possible. And I must ask that you at least check back on here, not necessarily regularly, but at least constant enough so we can communicate in a timely manner.

Oh, and I was wondering if there's any composer's out there? Because I would love it if this series had some original/not copyrighted songs.

It'll be open until I find the right voice actors...And then I'll contact them, so you know, I won't be confirming them just yet. I'll leave a short comment on your video to show that I've seen it, soooo... if I don't just come and bug me.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I think that's about it, if you do audition, please send me a link to the video so I can see it!

Song: MitiS - Born

OVERGROWTH Trailer

Crowfolly 2014-08-02 | EPISODE ONE: youtube.com/watch?v=TBk1BnIIWZQ

EDIT9/4/15: UGH I can't even look at this. It's so old I'm dying

Coming soon...(EDIT12/6/16: Soon from now I'm working on it lol)

...

Casting call is out, check it out!
youtube.com/watch?v=vqJZeVjLyvU

Okay, so to give a brief explanation, I had this idea for some years... It started out as a stupid simple story that had almost no plot. I later on started adding more to the story and all that, and now I have a complete story (there's still room for more but I've got most of it down already). So then I thought, what better way to tell this story than to make it an animated series? So, here we are.

Anyways, most of this probably doesn't make sense, but once I hopefully start making the episodes, it'll become clear. So, I hope to hear what you all think!

And, this particular event didn't happen in the actual story... but I guess it lets you get a glimpse of what it's like.
Uuugh, the frame rate is so shamefully low...mostly because this whole project has been an experiment. I was trying out new animation methods. Yeah, I don't usually animate like this. And I was trying out new background styles and all that.

Time spent: 2 and a half excruciating weeks
Frame count: About 2780 frames
Song: The Road of Trials composed by Austin Wintory
Sound effects: Youtube
