MADNESS DAY
Another Madness Day has come to an end, and i got so happy to know that i got 2nd place this year with my ''Pashed'' video, despite that weren't no money prizes this year, i never came so far, i really wanted to say thanks to each everyone of you guys who are always supporting me and a very special thanks for those veterans who are following me since my very humble beginning on 2007 and watched me grow ever since.
NEW COMERS AND YOUNG ANIMATORS
I've noticed a growing number of newcomers madness fans, most of them from russia, and they keep asking me ''how do i make my own madness cartoons'', if you are looking to learn more about animate madness, search for ''Madness Combat Tutorials'' on youtube, im sure you will find some good results, i wish to be as supportive as possible to you guys by helping you guys to improve.
INACTIVITY
I would like to apologize about my very long absence of 8 months without posting any new video, its been hard days because of the college, real life stuffs and fuckin dota 2 taking most of my precious time, im the kind of person that dont aim in quantity, i aim in quality, to bring you guys the best content i can do, and still i have so many ideas and so much to learn, so real criticism is always appreciated (as harsh as it may be, cuz they help people to improve), you guys may see a more active GabrielBarsch next year, you will see, even now that i quitted dota 2 for good, not because its a bad game, its because i just became 22 years old a week ago, and i think im too old for these ''life eating games'' they dont bring me any profit, most of this game's comunity are just toxic and complains about everything, a mate of mine @ExAker knows very well what i am talking about, And besides, my computer is not so fast as it used to be nowdays, maybe i might raise enough money to buy a new one.
DOTA 2
I still love Dota 2 and i am planning to do a video about this game next year mixed with madness style, but these days are getting really hard to enjoy the game due bad internet, dota 2 reborn bugs, computer issues and college...i may get back playing it someday, but for now i will dedicate most of my time on creating content to this beloved comunity where i was born and where i trully belong, the madness combat comunity.
OLD / UNFINISHED / DEAD PROJECTS:
You know what they say: "The artist is their own worst critic" i've made some stuffs in the past but i was never able to finish them due total lost of motivation or inspiration, or i never disclosed anywhere or to anyone
Old and Unused Collab Clips: those 3 collab clips were made between 2011 and 2012, they never made into any collab for reasons, there are too long and boring or some of those collabs were canceled, they are really old, so dont laugh at me pls
Madness Streak Remake (2012): i've started this baby 3 years ago and i was planning to remake the whole streak series (episode 1 till 4), but suddenly i decided to let old things behind and move forward to new ones instead of remaking my first attempts of animation.
Madness Manager 5 (2012): this one was supposed to be a ''crossover'' thing between my animations and ''rapheus'' animations, i was running out of ideas, and when i was finally finishing, rapheus left newgrounds without leaving a note, this makes me lose all the motivation that i had, and i left this movie unfinished with no sounds
Paradigmadness 2 (2013): this short animation was the first sketch of Incident:123B, i was trying to prove myself that i was worthy of joining @Alpha-Nuva's collab alongside with other skilled, mature and talented people like @DIMB, @Delamortes and @Tr3yo like they did on paradig 1 but i was so insecure and afraid of him to dislike it that i decide to not even show it to him, and so Incident:123B was borned, the incident123 series was originaly planned to be used as collab clips, but somehow i managed to make it longer than usual collab clips,and then I discarded the chances of using them in collabs due the long length and decided to make solo projects using what i had already done , i feel it was worth it.
NEXT PROJECTS
Everything is unclear, but by now i am planning to finish that long-waited ''medieval thing'' that i was making since the end of 2013, fixing some bugs in it and making improvements, all i have done this far was 2:30 minutes of movie with unstoppable action and killing, i think im in 40% of finishing it.
I'll also consider about making a possible (AND OFICIAL) Incident:123C next year, alongside with the medieval themed movie, the Incident:123C will continue from where i stopped last episode, with randomes getting attacked by some feral guy, i have some ideas in mind, now all i have to do is a script, i dont want to make anything too improvised this time
i also wanna be more active in the ''collab'' things but i will only join collabs that i know there is skilled, reliable and good people. i have 5 special collabs in mind for next year: Extermination 5, Infected 3, Test Collab 4, and 2 secret ones that i am making with greenpepperstudios.
And for least im planing some short cartoons about random goofy things i saw on the internet and i might adapt it to madness style, and cartoons that answer some questions like ''why some madness agents have yellow blood'' or ''how do i make madness cartoons?'' maybe i upload some timelapse videos about how do i animate, but i promise nothing.
FANARTS
ive received some fanarts and comissions for my birthday, but this one in particular takes the cake, i never looked so sexy before, you guys should totally give this guy @Bakayarodawickrayz a big and fat follow on his NG profile, he deserves it for being a beast on what he does
Thats all i wanted to say, i will be back soon (eventually) with some news about future projects and stuff
Stay Mad, Bros <3
AlecsHere
You're cool at animating, Gabriel!
