Quote from SZ-RayzeSup guys!! Sorry for my weekly. Rushed and shizz!! T_T. But atleast I got it on time. Hope you guys like it. :)
Slaughterous Weekly 1
Nicely done. I like it.
Okay, well, it's time for another one of Jazzon's crazy long announcement posts.
Our weeklies have been finished!
Every member has finished the weeklies in order : Venix, Jazzon, Taureactor, Hanif13, Ikarhan, Sz-rayze, and I am pleased with the results.
This here we have, is a very decent looking clan when it comes to animation skills! We're no beginners, I think anyone can justify that, but we need to get better, and I will soon tell you each what to improve on, but first, here they are :
| Jazzon | Complete |
| Hanif13 | Complete |
| SZ-Rayze | Complete |
| Taureactor | Complete |
| Ikarhan | Complete |
| Venix | Complete |
As everyone can see every weekly here, I would like to leave some CnC for everyone.
Me - I can improve on a lot of things, I need to work on my 2D combat in general, this was rushed but I guess I can still work on some of the facial expressions, some of the constructions were wobbly and choppy, and there were weird moments for the scarf as well. Nothing more, I don't know why I am even CnCing myself, I should have let you guys do it..
Hanif13 - Let's be completely honest. I saw you in action, I know what you can do. I see improvements in the 2D fighting area, there are still some flaws, but it's better. Try to cut down on tweening in the 2D combat, and things will go well. You did an excellent job on the facial expressions, maybe even better than me (I consider that to be one of mine and yours comfort zones). You made a nice story, I like it and the backgrounds were great too.
Sz - You certainly displayed a lack of time here, I can see you were rushing this every now and then, and I am just going to explain that with the fact that you're quite a slow animator. But it was good, You have no problem with the stick constructions, some of the movements were a little off and wobbly, it was only a 4 hit combo, but everything seems alright. I am going to push you a lot in the following month because I feel like you can do great, you just don't animate all that much. For example, I think this is the first animation I saw from you that exceeds 3 seconds, and it was great, and I want to see more of that, okay?
Taureactor - We have work to do bro. I am gonna make you hate me in the month that comes. You are improving, I can't deny that, I just think there is a lot left to improve on. Your constructions are better, but still not excellent. I think SZ could help you with this because he makes them really good. On the other hand, you did make the weekly in time despite all the work you have around, and you also made two other animations in a short time period, so I think this is satisfying. So.. Really the movements were rather okay when I think about it, but I think there is a lot you can improve on when it comes to constructions. Those are you biggest problem right now. You'll pull it off, I'm not worried, you're doing great, and you have enthusiasm. Just work on that.
Ikarhan - I know it was rushed, k? It was a good weekly, I know you can do better because I saw your work, and you told me so. But, It's not fair that you're the only one who doesn't get CnC, even if you consider yourself the best. You did have a lot more time, and you were a little lazy most of it, to be honest. You did nice angles, and facials are slightly below me and Hanif, but are a major improvement after your BSE and RHG#1. Movements were great at some scenes, and were rushed, obviously, at others, and I understand that too. Some of the scenes lasted way longer, and some waaay shorter, I see what you tried to do, but it's like... Usually those short scenes come in a series of 3 or 4. Movements on the V-cam looked great on the Ascend scene, and that's cool. Keep it up.
Venix - You did well, my friend. Anyone can say you made the shortest animation, but it also happened to have a great sync, the best movements and smoothness and it was pretty cool in general, and only was done in 2 or 3 days. That's reliable, I know you'll make everything I ask of you for the clan, and I appreciate it. You do so many animations so often too, and that's what I want you guys to do, to animate all the time, like.. Quit the video games. I understand that sounds unreasonable, but at least be a primary animator over a gamer. Not applying to you Venix, you're great. I do have a slight problem with Pivot though..

With all of this being said, let me announce the assignments!
So, I am not going to push a new weekly aboard yet, though what happened with this weekly was a fiasco. We can not have weeklies that last 2 months guys, I mean, come on. Weekly!
We will have weeklies during this month, not the first week, but prepare for one around 15th, okay? I am gonna give a super simple one too, so you would finish it in less than 3 or 4 days.
But, for now, I am giving individual assignments to everyone!
Me - I will finish my FTC Elysium tribute (It sucks so bad, I just wanna finish it and never turn it in ffs), and then I am interested in doing some RHG battles perhaps, or just make a random 2D only animation, so I could improve with that. My goal for the month, is posting at least 5 new animations and 3 new artwork on this page at the end of the month.
Hanif13 - I know you're busy with Arzon's actions #3, so I am giving you a full month to do that, and make a lot more artwork since I know that's what you'll do for sure, so just count this as a free month for you, BUT, I wanna see your stuff soon, and I want you to be done with most of your exams and fix the mistakes you make when animating 2D, by the end of the month.
SZ - Oooh, we're gonna have some fun now. DROP DOWN AND GIMME 20! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
Nah, Jk, but on a serious note, I want you to do a lot more of 2D since that's what you're the best at. Minimum of 4 new animations (No matter how short) by the end of the month. I will not infract you if you can't make it, I just think it will do wonders for your animating skill, hell, you can even do RHG battles! Just, please, animate, I want you to become a regular at dA and/or HsD, and just give us some of your work.
Taureactor - Okay bro. Time to bring action.
I know you're working on your game, I want you to at least show us something from it by the end of the month, if you can't finish it.
Also, you're gonna help me with the clan menu, because I'm lost, and Flash crashed on me, so say bye bye to the screenshot I gave you before guys.
Also, I want 5 new animations from you by the end of the week, and now you ask - "FIVE? THAT'S TOO MUCH! HOW DO I PULL THAT OFF?"
Simple, you are just gonna make them the simplest possible if that's what you wanna do, animate a stickman jump, or a run loop, or a walk loop, anything works.
I greatly encourage you to joint with someone, and follow the way he makes stick constructions, I found that that helps a whole lot. Your movements need practice, but they're alright.
So don't worry if you can't finish an exact number of 5, just at least, simply, animate, pay attention to your animating progress, and give us something juicy by the end of the month.
Ikarhan - Well...
You're gonna work on our Joint with me, that's one thing. I also want 4 new animations (Again, no matter how short, you can put them on sta.sh) from you, and you can draw something nice, optionally.
You have to improve every there and here but you're kinda gonna need to improve on that laziness the most. So work.
Venix - Okay. Here's the part I've been wanting to talk about.
We're gonna have a promo, eventually, and also collabs, and points when we're gonna need to make similar animations, great backgrounds, joints, and pass on our .flas. I hope you can convert your pivot work into flash and mix it up a bit, because I really want you to work on that more. I... I know there are gonna be a ton of people speaking up their arguments pro Pivot, but I just think it's inferior to flash in every way. Think about that a bit, see what you can do on flash, work hard, and achieve your goals, whatever they are. You're hardworking and passionate, so I'm not worried about you. I just think you'll slowly need to convert yourself to a flash user.
Animate 5 new animations, again said, no matter how short.
And so Slaughties, we venture of to February, only a short while left before our ultimate goal!
Animate, show me more work, do RHG battles (Just one is equal to 10 short animations), do competitions, and rise.
