Welcome to Newgrounds Christopher. Where the land of milk and honey of entertainment and a community of creative folk band together in a place of unity to breath life into our boring, gray, bleak, and dismal lives. Here a multitude of colors clash, ideas flourish, brilliant characters stroll down the cobblestone streets, and cartoons can be appreciated among others who understand your ongoing to make creativity a thriving entity.

Now just sign this paper which will mark you on which side your on. Oh, you didn't know? The land has been broken into two factions. The faction to the North creates new fables and throws them out to the populous to see what becomes of them. And to the South, that faction takes fables told and revisions them to their own liking to show how others feel about the subject at hand. So what faction will you put yourself to?

Ok enough with the storytelling...

So where do I stand between this little skirmish? If it's okay with you I'm gonna stay in no man's land, because lets be honest, everyone likes originality and parodies, they just side more with one then the other. Productivity wise Parodies are easier to make because the main jist of info is there for the animator to work with, but it's simply a retelling, everyone has said at least once if they had the power to change something in a creation to suit their taste, they would take it, well that what parodies are, but that does not make them any less of an animation, cartoon, game, or what have you. Now Original stuff brings new color to the spectrum, but lets be honest, new stuff will take awhile to create to fully show the artist's vision, and to bring a new story to others will take awhile for them to catch on and favor for what it is but it's still an animation all the same.

I may be stating the obvious, and you may think I'm just trying to keep away from the matter at hand, but truth be told, this 'war' has made me afraid to show anything, because the second I want to show art, people cast label them as one side or the other, thus making my art become something to be hated and to be hexed at for not being something that could be far from what I was trying to convey. I just want people to see my work as a "Cartoon" and nothing more, but thats just my high hopes. I'll continue to try and keep the mindset of "Its All The Same." And pray people will understand that when they see my art.

I have been thinking of a cartoon series to bring over to Newgrounds, called Rydin.

Rydin is a story of the planet Earth being destroyed by M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction.) By forces unknown the Milky Way has been reformed into a new universe, one where the imagination of human beings has been brought to life, and live along side them in a new world, this new world created for them is now called Rydin. The cartoons themselves will showcase stories of certain people throughout Rydin, creating a sub series to one big plot.

For now I can give you character concepts and sketches, make of em what you will. More will be revealed as I go along.

Later kids.
