Okay guys, here's the skinny.

I have made NO progress on S15th3 since I started work, because my hours are long and late, and I find myself sleeping a lot on my days off...

Thats the bad news out of the way, now for the BAD NEWS!!!

I'm working 7 days straight (from now til Tuesday, 6 days left) and for 4 days straight I will be working LATE, til like 1-5am!!!!

BUT!!!! The good news, I have 2 days off, IN A ROW!!! So even if I sleep all day on one day off, the next day I should have energy enough to animate!!!!

With my new work life taking its toll, the new Sonic 15th 3 release date prediction is Janurary 23rd. Sorry guys.

Hope all these links work :P

Hey guys, if you like my animations, please please PLEASE add the ones you love to your favourites, and if you also want to add me as a favourite author, please do so :D

And HOLY CRAP! :O I have a Facebook fan page?! seriously! Ric Strife's Facebook Fanpage

If I get more fans on there, it'll be amazing (I decided to take myself off the fans, so people dont know who I am on Facebook, y'all understand right?)

*Link Now Fixed*

Ok, so was in work for 8hours today (only paperwork and information today) and I feel pretty good coming home (at 10:10pm) so I know now, I should have no problem animating. I get 2 days off a week, I'll try my best to animate on these 2 days...

I also think I'm going to Re-write, Re-Imagine and Re-Start the RobotWars series.
The basic idea and plot will be the same, only revisited to improve the script, I'll probably have voice acting (maybe).
So after I finish Sonic 15th 3, I will re-write the scripts (with my improvements since the original, there will be far less episodes than the original scripts planned) and start the series from the very begining again, anyone like this idea?

I'll probably start by making an Opening (much alike the original RobotWars opening credits) to re-introduce the series, and its new name. Now heres the fun part, why dont you guys think of a name to give the series?
It was original called The RobotWars as a pun about the TV show Robot Wars, that an all the characters would be robotic in some way. So any ideas? Cyber Duels? Mecha Battles? lol give me ideas guys :D and if I choose any of your ideas, I will credit you in every episode and get a logo designed for it.

Couldn't get no animating done this week, I was out looking after my Nan, cos my Granddad had to be put in hospital. He seems to be getting better, so I should animate next weekend.

No reply from the job either :( so looks like I won't be getting one at all :(

UPDATE!! :D
Got the job!! and Grandad's kidney's are better!! :D

Yes, its true, I'm back, and I did EVERY skit I could without access to the internet :D That means, about 12 Skits left (needing voice acting, or new sprites, or photo references etc) and the Easter Eggs, but something happened while I was animating...I came up with MORE IDEAS!!! :O

So heres the choice, do I include these new ideas into Sonic 15th 3? Or make a "Sonic Shorts" Series, where each animation would be 1 Skit lol. You Decide :-)

Ah man, You should of seen it, I was tearing it up, made some Epic Skits, with a LOT of detail (and some pretty simple ones too :P)

Estimated Skit Progress 24/32 (Including Easter Eggs 24/40)

Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's IT?
Or
Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity?

Halloween is getting close fast, and I have limited money, so getting the costume on Thursday, but need to know, which costume to get?

yippeee.... who cares, I got more money this way, and I'll still animate.

Later in the month, like 2 weeks from now, I'm going to have 5 days and 4 nights away from home, with no internet, no console video games, nothing....

Just Me, My Laptop, My External Harddrive, and Flash 8!

So for 5 days and 4 nights, I will be animating, NON-STOP on Sonic 15th Thr33, with my estimates, that will be like 60+ hours of animating (time removed for sleep)
With 60 Hours of non-stop animation, I might be able to have Sonic 15th3 released THIS MONTH!

No promises tho guys, so don't get hopes too high.

In related news, I'm trying to decide on my next project, the choices are:
- A Xmas Music Video
- A Normal Music Video
- Opening Credits To Metal Triad or The RobotWars
- A REBOOT of the RobotWars series (with new title, new style, and slightly new script)
- Metal Triad Episode II
- A New Series
- A New Short Funny animation
- A New Skit show for a new game

*UPDATE 7th SEPTEMBER*

Good news guys, I got a girlfriend recently, and she's making me feel realllllllllly good and loved :D which has made me REALLY motivated :D
