New Project

Posted by vastcool - February 26th, 2015

I have been working on multiple projects over the past seven years. One of them was "Pimpy Da Pimp," which is now finished and free to play online. Another was "Johnny Rocketfingers 3," which is now cancelled due to lack of fan support. The "Johnny Rocketfingers Mini Adventure," which was 50% finished, is also cancelled.

But don't be sad. I will now begin unveiling the other projects as I finish them. Here is a background from one short that is currently 70% finished. It is starring a brand new character who I will introduce in my next post. I have already finished an animatic for his second short which will go into production immediately after the first cartoon is released.

This will be a throwback to Tex Avery cartoons, Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry.

Thanks and glad you're excited!

Why are you whining so much about the new Rocket Fingers not pulling through? The price was high as fuck, and that sucks that you couldn't raise enough cash for it, but stop making it seem like the fans fault.

vastcool 2015-02-26 18:30:28

Wasn't whining just stating facts :)

Your art style is a blessing more than any specific project.
I love old animation techniques.

vastcool 2015-02-26 21:15:49

Thanks dude, me too!

You really had me at "Throwback to Tex Avery cartoons".

Such a shame that Johnny 3 didn't make it.
But i'll be looking forward to ANYTHING that you make in the future.

vastcool 2015-02-26 21:58:17

Thanks man!

Johhny Rocketfigers 3 would have been fun but the price was high

vastcool 2015-02-27 06:58:29

Yup.

CrabbWalker 2015-02-27 12:47:59

Clicked for pure curiousity, stayed for the art style :D

hbkhhhrey619 2015-02-28 00:00:53

How did you even come up with the name Johnny Rocketfingers?

vastcool 2015-02-28 00:00:53

A friend of mine came up with the name back in 2000.

Spaderz 2015-02-28 15:58:42

kinda curious, what did it feel like when the kickstarter didn't pull through?

vastcool 2015-02-28 15:58:42 (Updated 2015-03-02 12:20:46)

Hahaha, well for one thing I wasn't surprised because more than halfway through I had the feeling it wasn't going to work out because I was not getting enough backers. Aside from that I felt bummed out and relieved all at the same time. Bummed that an insanely amazing and crazy game wasn't going to blow the minds out of everyone's ear holes. Relieved that I no longer was faced with the horrendously stress inducing task of creating a frame-by-frame hand drawn and animated adventure game full of witty well written dialogue and puzzles.

Spaderz 2015-03-02 16:52:00

Ahh i see, but with a game with such ambition, great concept work, and environments. i'm sure it would've "blown the minds out of everyone's ear holes" And yeah the stress of that would be insurmountable, but if the support was there and the money, i don't think it would've been a problem x) i really enjoyed the first and second game you made to!

hbkhhhrey619 2015-03-03 17:02:08

Can you still make Johnny 3 looking like the 1st or 2nd one?
P.S. Still also looking forward to this project as well.

vastcool 2015-03-03 17:02:08

lol, no.

chris-the-stick 2015-03-23 14:27:44

hmmm ok, this is a good screenshot, i like the idea in it, seems good.

also, how come the "johnny rocketfingers mini adventure'', game got cancelled?
i thought that this was independent from the actual 3rd-game story.

whatever, this seems good, i like your artwork if that means anything.
