First off, thank YOU for subscribing to the Anthamation Newsletter if you did! This means you are to receive an email every time I post, so you don't miss out anything new like this!
Alrighty, enough of that. Let's get down to business.
Designs have been finalized for 3 SuperRAD! characters so far:
They aren't coloured yet until I can find some time to make some REAL sophisticated design sheets, but until then, this'll make do.
"But Anthony, Where Austin?"
Thank you for giving me that question you most likely didn't ask.
"No, really, where is he?"
Okay so...
After months of consideration and online interaction with Austin, it was clear to me that he wasn't quite ready to take on a role in the show. I won't state anything too detaily of what happened (I'm sure he'll give HIS bit of the story in a very inaccurate portrayal) but basically he had gotten so toxic an uncooperative that he was very unhealthy to be around and I eventually ran out of chances to give, so I had no choice but to give him the boot.
I know it sounds a little bit harsh but there's only so much I can extend to your attention span to a short summary, but basically, He's out for good.
Maybe on a good day I'll consider trying to talk to him again but for the time being, you won't be seeing him in any more Anthamation media for a good while.
With that being said, his voice actor for the pilot, PiP, has gladly taken the role to replace him!
Pip is a very talented artist and animator that's helped me alongside with other projects, such as SuperRAD, Eddsworld Fan Movie, and others. He's currently working on his own series, "Spaztaztik".
So along with him serving as the replacement drummer in the series, he has also dedicated to help write up ideas for future episodes!
How cool is that.
If you wanna check out his stuff, here and here!
We're still working out some designs for his character in the show and this is what we wrapped up so far
Pip decided he didn't like the first one's colour scheme, and the second one's overall message, so we're still working out some designs. If you like theme, let us know your opinion in the comics -I mean comments!
Oh jeez. Comics have been really dragging recently, I know. Finding time and motivation to do them is just hard these days. As I'm progressing in my senior year in high school, time is valuable to me and I've gotta stick it with the books. But that doesn't mean i haven't been all THAT unproductive. There are plenty of ideas I've written down for new ones, for sure, but I just can't work on them until I've got some time on my hands.
So yeah.

Last thing to cover are personal things, like my 19th birthday!
I had a very spectacular time! I went out to eat chinese with my friends AND I got to watch the Bohemian Rhapsody film! What a night!
It also should be noted that I've started taking Tae-Kwon-Do classes in effort to improve my health and my overall physique.
The video below demonstrates my badassery in action.
Anyways, that's it for today. Keep checking in for new things on www.Anthamation.com and join our discord server if you haven't already!
