Howdy yall,


Long time no see! I've been busy drawing away at my newest animation, and I've gotten to a point where I am comfortable enough to share a trailer. I'd love for you guys to check it out.



You can learn more about the process and themes of this animation in my blogpost here.


I hope to release the full animation here in June 2019, which I hope will satisfy the ever-so-critical eyes of the Newgrounds community.


Thanks for checking in o/

Howdy yall,

After a year of writing, drawing, animating, coding, and recording with composers and voice actors, the premiere of my E-sports visual novel is here! I'll be streaming for a couple hours, we'll have some giveaways, and some fun.

Most importantly, we'll watch a playthrough of the entire 40-minute episode together.

Friday, Aug 10

8:00 PM EDT

3 hours

To learn more about the game (which is 100% free to download by the way), checkout the download page at:
https://gildedguyart.itch.io/fm3k

I'm very excited to share my most ambitious, COMPLETED, project yet. The game didn't turn out how I expected... but I feel like it's a substantial experience worth your time.

Hopefully I can upload a recording here on NG, as the VN is very much watchable as a contained story (no branching routes).

I hope this is helpful to any young artists who are thinking about animation schooling:

Hey! Thought I'd share my inner thoughts on why artists do what they do on Newgrounds.

http://gildedguy.com/have-something-to-prove/

I don't use the News Post functionality nearly as much as I ought to.

Hey guys, I am hiring voice talent for leading, supporting, and minor roles for my new project, Falcomaster3000.

Full details including list of roles and audition submission here:

FM3K is an original visual novel series based on the urban legend of the mysterious Smash Bros player named Falcomaster. 

The smash community has this funny idea that the 'competitiveness' of the game will decline, and an amazing player will come save the game with his incredible gaming skills. The story centers on the lives and struggles of professional players, not the Smash Bros characters themselves.

I'm aiming to make that into a fun adventure series of 7-8 episodes in visual novel format. Note that it will feature limited animation, not fully animated like in the trailer.

This depends on how the first episode goes, which has been fully story-boarded and scripted, equating to ~35 minutes of content. 

Current plans are to release the pilot by mid 2018. The episode will be released as a free downloadable game on my website as well as a posted recording on my YouTube channel.

Looking forward to collaborating with you guys!

Hi guys,

2189919_150336086061_GufdQB8l.jpg

Newest fight animation has been released. Put a lotta hard work into this one!

Please watch it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/698179

So far, people have been receiving it very well, and been digging into its themes and ideas very deeply!

In other news, I opened up a poster shop on MagCloud, featuring some of the more cinematic scenes in my animations. If you'd like to support my work, please go take a look:

http://gildedguy.com/support/

As for the next project, I am going to do something that is very experimental and ambitious. I'm 90% sure I'm going to pull the trigger and go for it, but I need some time to sort out current obligations.

See you later!

Hi NG'rs,

I just finished my 60s short for Twitch's animation contest (theme: "Game Over"). I'd really appreciate it if you'd checkout my entry and vote for it! (But only if you enjoyed it).

Voting Link!
http://woobox.com/biteeh/gallery/o6r7HX0BST8

If the animation makes it past enough votes, it might be streamed in the final judgement next Friday! The thought of winning something really excites me.

I also uploaded it here on Newgrounds, and this time, I got the help of Avenza, an awesome independent music artist (gotta keep Tom happy with these non-copyright tracks :P ).

In other news, Gildedguy vs Bog will resume progress, so tune into the streams to see how it's going.

Ahh my newest masterpiece is finished!

It took a bit longer than expected, but the result is pretty much exactly how I wanted it.

Hey guys,

It's been quite awhile since the last update, and a lot of life things have happened since. But! What's important to you is that I've been working on a new animation the whole way through.

I'm close to finishing my latest animated music video, "Basement Busk". So keep an eye out for that in the next 2-3 weeks. I also got around to finishing a blog post on crushed dreams (give it a read!).

I'm still streaming near-daily on Twitch if you want to check out the progress.

Thanks for keeping up with me, see you at release!
