Hey all! We're about a month away from the deadline for the LISA: Campfire Collab!


We'd like to check-in with everyone who is planning on joining the collab so we can get a progress report on how y'all are doing, how many people are joining, determining if we need to extend the deadline, etc.


To share your progress with us, email your work to LISACampfireCollab@gmail.com or DM me or Spinalpalm for a link to the collab's Discord server, where you can also show your work so far. You may also just simply DM us your progress as well. No worries if you don't have any work to show just yet, but we would appreciate if you would still message us letting us know where you're at on your cartoon/art piece (even if it's still just an idea floating in your brain)


If this is your first time hearing about this collab & you're interested in joining, be sure to fully read our two posts about it here & here! We'd love anyone who loves LISA to join!!


Anyways, we hope y'all have a spooky Halloween! Big thanks to everyone who has joined the collab so far, this is going to be such an awesome homage to an awesome game!!!

HEY!!! If you're a fan of LISA: The Painful & missed the announcement; Spinalpalm and I recently opened our LISA: Campfire Collab in celebration for the new Definitive Edition of the game!


iu_1074683_3357101.webp

(banner art by Spinalpalm)


If you wanna join in, click here & read the announcement post to find out how! Be sure to read all the rules and guidelines!


Remember to DM me or Spinalpalm too if you'd like to join the Discord server!




Speaking of rules & guidelines, I'd like to clarify a few of them as well as addressing a few questions we've received! (Be sure to read the initial post before this one!)


MAKE SURE YOUR SUBMISSION IS A 4:3 RESOLUTION

(We recommend 1440x1080 but any 4:3 resolution will work)


      -For those confused, the standard for most content is typically 16:9 Widescreen (I.E. 1920x1080, 1280x720, etc.). 4:3 resolutions are closer to a square than Widescreen & used to be the old standard (mainly due to TVs & monitors being wide squares rather than rectangles) Regardless of which ratio is the current standard, 16:9 & 4:3 are the main two used in visual medias & for this collab we're requesting 4:3 for both animation AND art submissions (So be sure to look up a list of 4:3 resolutions & work with whatever size works for you!)


      -LISA: The Painful's original resolution was 17:13 which is a very odd, uncommon ratio (pretty close to 4:3) & in the new update, the game was upscaled to fit any screen (the game is square in the middle & the rest of the screen has an art border) So our visual plan for the collab is that your submissions are 4:3 (square in the middle) & when we edit the collab into one video, we'll add border art to make it 16:9 widescreen. So in a way the collab can emulate how the game looks in the Definitive Edition.


iu_1074685_3357101.webp

(very rough visual example)


PLEASE PUT THE COLLAB'S LOGO/WATERMARK & HASHTAGS ON YOUR SUBMISSION IF YOU PLAN TO POST IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!


      -Please use these hashtags: #LISACampfireCollab & #Newgrounds


      -If you're posting your animation on social media, please also put the collab's endcard at the end of your video.


      -We're aiming to attract more people to Newgrounds with this collab, so putting the logo & endcard on your submission as well as posting w/ the hashtags will be a great help for the website and the collab's success :)


      Here's a link to the logo & endcard images! Click here!


      -When you submit your work to the collab's email, we'd prefer a version without the logo & endcard for the final collab video.


BORDER ART WILL BE CREATED BY US & ARTISTS WE PERSONALLY REACH OUT TO


      -We're not accepting any submissions specifically for border artwork; we are only accepting art & animation submissions (that follow our guidelines)


      -If you'd REALLY like to help us with border art, feel free to send us some of your work examples & we will reach out if we'd like your help! :)




ART SUBMISSION CLARIFICATIONS:


      -We apologize if this was a bit confusing in the initial post but I'll try my best to fully explain how art will be used in this collab compared to animation submissions.


      -Art & Animations will be featured sequentially in a back & forth pattern. I.E. an animation submission plays & afterwards an art submission is displayed. In a sense, the art will be used as transitions between each animation.


      -There are TWO scenarios for your art submissions: Brad/Party members of your choice interacting during the day OR interacting around the campfire at night. I'd say preferably we'd like submissions w/ interactions during the day to help the pattern of the whole collab feel like each animation submission takes place on a different night & each transitional art submission is the day in-between. But we don't want to dictate too much of your creativity so if your drawing idea takes place at night, go for it, we just ask that the campfire is nearby :)


      -Comics are allowed HOWEVER!!! We do not accept them as single art pieces (read animation clarifications below if you'd like to submit a comic to the collab)




ANIMATION SUBMISSION CLARIFICATIONS:


      -If your submission is a comic (or an animatic), it must be edited into video format. While we urge you to edit & add sounds yourself, we can make exceptions for SOME artists who make incredible art but absolutely cannot edit themselves.


      -The main goal of the animations is to emulate more campfire conversations between party members, so we prefer your cartoons to be more dialogue-heavy between characters (as we mentioned in the initial post, similar to the Africa Dudes Collab) Again, we don't want to dictate too much of your creativity, so if your idea is a lot more than just a few guys talking to each other, go for it! BUT!!!!! Make sure your animations feature characters around the campfire at some point or another. It is the campfire collab after all!


      -Remember you can submit more than one animation! Just be sure to reuse the same characters you use in your initial cartoon.


      -Be sure to join the Campfire Collab Discord server to find out what characters other people are using to ensure we dont see the same combinations of characters interacting with each other throughout the collab! Feel free to DM me or Spinalpalm for an invite to the server!

Characters are not locked or 'taken' if someone else is making a cartoon with them so don't worry if your idea uses the same guy BUT we do urge you to use different combinations of characters. (EX: if your idea includes Terry & Nern and you find out someone else is doing a cartoon with those two, consider switching just one of them out for another character)




Hopefully, this post cleared up a few questions you may of had! We also apologize if this further confused anyone lol. We know it's a lot of info to follow & read but we just want to make sure we create a quality collab in the end to pay homage to a fantastic & special game!


If you know any other animators or artists who love LISA, please recommend this collab to them! And big thanks to everyone who's already joined in! This collab is gonna be AMAZING!!

HOWDY EVERYONE! Part 6 of the Raining Tacos Saga is out! & it's the biggest one yet!


TORTILLA AVALANCHE!


Here's some commentary I wrote for the description of the animatic:

"Tortilla Avalanche is finally finished. This one took a while! I think I started animating this in late December but didnt get super cranking on it until February (I was struggling a bit but everythings hunky-dory now!) HOWEVER this cartoon was actually planned all the way back almost MID 2021! This animatic was actually made the same time Taco Spaghetti's animatic was! (Taco Spaghetti & Tortilla Avalanche are sister videos) This music video is pretty massive & a LOT of planning went into this one (which is probably the main reason it took a while to even START animating it lol) Not to mention, having to figure out that tortilla avalanche without my computer exploding?? Luckily once I figured it out, it went surprisingly smooth. There's lots packed into this video though, so be sure to rewatch & skip around to see if theres anything you missed! I'm very happy with out this video came out & so happy I was able to make Parry's awesome song even more awesome! (hopefully lol)"


FUN FACTS!

1. This video re-introduces an old character from a previous music video, Last Train to Awesome Town: The AwesomeBot 3000!

2. The AwesomeBot 3000 is one of the three "3000 Robots" (the third robot hasnt been revealed yet)

3. Despite their scary appearance & actions in the music video, The AwesomeBot 3000 is not a villain (they are typically still an antagonist in most adventures!) AwesomeBot is a very misunderstood machine, so dont be too hard on them!

4. All the townspeople shown in this music video have names! Feel free to @ me on Twitter or drop a comment if you're curious about a certain one! :)

5. Unexpectedly, the official video was uploaded to Youtube on International Transgender Day of Visibility & while I cannot go into detail about it, I will confirm that The AwesomeBot 3000 is trans.


Here's a few pages of characters I drew for color refs:

iu_593262_3357101.webp

iu_593263_3357101.png

(there's a ref for each BG character but I wont post them all lol)


There's 3 more music videos left in the Saga, all planned for release this year, so we're not done yet! Stay tuned! And thanks so much for watching!

Merry Christmas everyone!


Raining Tacos (On Christmas Eve) is on the NG on Xmas eve!


Here's some commentary:

"This was made last year for Parry's Xmas album, Jingle Burgers! It's a wacky album full of fun Christmas songs. It's great if you need something different in your Xmas playlist haha. I was mid-move while working on this music video but it's probably the quickest I ever made a music video (probably like a week or so) but I think that helped my plan of making this the most authentic looking Raining Tacos music video compared to the original (I.E. kinda simple & a bit sloppy). I thought since this is a rehash of the original, I'll make it look closer to the original than the rest of the Saga. I'm not sure if I consider this music video canon to the Saga though, I'll leave that up to the viewers lol."


Fun facts:

  1. This music video was made in almost the same circumstances as the original; in the middle of a move, in a basement, all in one Flash file. It really helped the authenticity I think!
  2. I didn't know what a yuletide bell was until I made this music video! I'm an idiot!
  3. TacoBot 3000 & SantaBot 3000 have never been seen in the same room. Hm.... something to think about!


2022 coming up here soon. It's gonna be a big year for the Saga! 4 more music videos & the 10 year anniversary of Raining Tacos!

The Tortilla Avalanche music video still in the works & Parry is still preparing the rest of the Saga songs. Busy times ahead!

Thanks everyone for watching & reading this year. I hope 2022 goes well for you all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ITS TACO TIME AGAIN!!!! or.. at least it was a few days ago. sorry this post is late, i usually like to make these behind the scenes posts on the same day or day after release but I was out of town this weekend! (i was here for two nights)


ANYWAYS. RAINING TACOS SAGA PART 5. TACO SPAGHETTI. OUT NOW. GO WATCH!!!! or dont... i guess...


Here's some commentary!


"Taco Spaghetti was fun & really exciting to work on! I've been working on this series since 2019 when I made TacoBot 3000 & after Quesadilla Explosion last year, I've been planning towards making it bigger. Then earlier this year, Parry lays on me that he's making 5 more songs for the Saga. Lemme tell ya, I was too excited. 5 new music videos to showcase the characters & world I've been working on. So when I started work on Taco Spaghetti, I also turned the series development up a notch. So if you're wondering why the quality has gone up a lot since the last music video, that's why! (Also because I liked how the new Adobe Animate brush looked, so the lines got a lot thicker) It's crazy how just doing stuff behind the scenes; designing/writing characters, world building, etc. just adds a lot even though its very subtle. It's definitely something I never did much with my older stuff, I've always been a head-on animator, very little prep work outside doing an animatic. Typically stuff I'd put a lot more thought into never saw the light of day because I never knew how to eventually approach them. Sad stuff. So I'm really excited I have this opportunity to finally use more of my skills as an artist. So you can view this latest entry into the Saga as a turning point for the cartoon; it'll only get better from here! Hope you enjoy & thanks for watching! Look out for Part 6 early next year, Tortilla Avalanche!"


FUN FACTS:

1. The fat scientist guy's name is Thomas Taco (or Tommy for short). He is Timmy's grandpa & the inventor of the TacoBot 3000 & all the other robots in this music video.

2. The little wrench robot's name is Dorothy. She is Tommy's multi-tool assistant. She can transform into any tool you need!

3. Each little robot in this music video had colors based on LGBTQ pride flags! :)


Not sure what else to share this time so I'll share some shoddy drawings I made for color reference (this is technically concept art haha):
