Reduce 3 - Teen Spider

Posted by Mejson - 1 month ago

Welcome everyone!


First thing:

Surprising greetings! :D Unexpectedly and without any significant signs in the sky, and certainly for the whole team and the insatiable people of NG! Well... I admit that lately there's always something going on with me and I have all my time filled up during the day, although my girlfriend claims that I have too much free time and do nothing xD Probably creating animations and working in Flash are not real duties for her :P Well... you certainly can't explain 'those' things to a person who doesn't have a creative hobby... but, oh well... sometimes it happens. Lately I've been doing this project when and if I can, sometimes it's like once I worked on it 16/24 (I had a free day), and sometimes 0/24 (when I'm not alone), but usually 5/24 (standard evening). Apart from that I spend time with my girlfriend - apart from watching movies together we also go on bike trips and walks. There's nothing like spending time outdoors :) Maybe 'fresh' is too strong a word xD The air is often not that clean around Krakow :P It's been a lot longer since the last Poster... it's been about two and a half months I think... or a bit more (I didn't count exactly). Since I didn't have much to share yet, I didn't have good material for a Poster... so, well, it just happened that way. Of course, I haven't found time to listen to @Cyberdevil's work lately :/ and @ChordC's work :/ and let alone play games :/ I haven't played computer games in a long time... I sincerely apologize to all the neglected people :/ Health to all!


Main thing:

Let's move on to our main topic. Let's go! Well... as you noticed, this is a Poster about another spider gene chain, namely - 'Teen Spider', i.e. - Wolf Spiders teens are mostly grey, dark-gray, and brown eyes. Their behavior, however, makes them even more irritating and spiteful than the newborn spider. They are persistent and particularly aggressive, and in pursuing their prey they have no equal... Unfortunately... These are not normal spiders - ours are 'special' :) How unlucky xD This insect will appear in 'Reduce 3' and it will certainly be worring and very deadly...


I think the poster turned out great, so please comment and rate it here:


In the next Poster I will present... Well... Probably another progress of this scene! It will be sharply! Tsaaa! :P Well... Just like last time... I know I repeated myself (again), hehehe xD But... it's definitely worth it!


@Cyberdevil@AzureDragoonGX@ChordC@MariogD@SayMeBott@Mazurek@Colizza@XavierDalton@MATRVG@uncookboi@adr3-n? My crew, you can now see it in the project preview - Reduce 3 - Episode I!

Hey! Glad to see you still working. I know what you mean about girlfriends thinking flash work is doing nothing -- but I would say keeping your passion alive is more than something.

They don't want you to know the real story with flash going out. It was becoming so accessible, and folks so skilled, it was displacing much more expensive programs that adobe wanted to roll out. Plus, the frames in flash were easier to load than the same amount in video. Just think how complex an animation could be, how long, and the small filesize needed.

Now, for the same crisp quality, gigabytes are needed of video. I vote we go BACK to flash, and simply block functions which they claimed were security risks.

Hey! I'm still working :P Thanks for understanding! It's nice to hear that :) Well, many people think that work is only for money, and outside of it you should only do relaxation and pleasure.

They don't want to? Hmm very possible... well, as always it was about money. Well, supply and demand - that's how it works unfortunately. If people are still happy with Flash and didn't need newer programs, Adobe certainly wouldn't make money. Yes, I know, needed :) I will also try to reduce the size of the swf file in the distant future. :P

Yeeees! Exactly! Everyone - BACK TO FLASH!

Cool insect, man. I may start liking Gray color just because of him :3

Anyway, I'll try to find proper time to revise whole Reduce saga... when I'm totally done with my projects (excluding LoW, this'll be my lifetime work!)

Thanks! One cooler! Hehehe :P Yeah, the color grey! :P

Wow! Cool! And what made you want to revisit the entire Reduce saga? Hmm, when you finish your entire saga :) OK. Well, my saga may turn out to be for life too :P

@Mejson Because it has been one year... I forgot the plot :(

Well... I think longer, but what can you do :/ Just writing the script for R3 took 1.5 years :P It takes a while...

Greetings, it is nice to see that you are still hard at work both in life and in animation. I hope things are going well, and sure hope that this episode can work wonders for :)

The spider will kill everyone, and everyone will die, hehehehah

Greetings! Yeah! I wish everyone thought so :P Hmm I hope so, but I haven't been making animations for awards for a long time - and mainly because I like it and want to create our story. Which I will be especially proud of :) Because I am more proud of each subsequent part :)

Hehehe, how optimistic :P

"Special" sounds suspicious :]

@Mejson but you can bring me 1st episode now 0:)

Well... because under this "Special" you can hide a lot :P Hehehe

Aha, and for me a star from the sky :P

@Mejson See, that's the thing, adobe were running out of stuff to update and charge subscription service for. Flash 8 and Flash CS were fully usable and professional if you knew what you were doing. Thus no one wanted to move to the new upgrades without being forced.

It almost makes me want to get myself a copy of flash and animate again. Though I haven't bothered learning how to convert from swf/fla to html5 yet.

Also, I am not great at mouse drawing xD

Well, yes. Nothing more to add here :)

Well, yes, I feel you like going back to this :P

Well, I'm not good at drawing with anything other than a mouse :P

3x well! Best regards and health!

@Mejson Likewise. You continue to amaze me as always with your mouse drawings, by the way!

Honestly, I have the impression that I studied for almost 20 years to get to this level... in 1995 there were already great artists - graphic designers, musicians and animators. And now hardly anyone does anything on NG, and I am the most talented animator, and probably no one generally notices :P I am like a king in a dead zone :P

@Mejson Nothing wrong with that. I feel the same though about my music. I regularly use soundfonts -- for years those instruments have been looked down on as unprofessional. But it works. Those who become fans of your work will be happy at the least that you are consistent and constantly improving.

Thanks! Maybe it's a bit of a shame that I lost interest in my work - I'm talking about the CS series, but oh well... it was getting pretty boring and repetitive for me, at some point there was nothing developing in it. Although there was a time when I was similarly popular on the main forum :P

Yeah, I don't know what's up with this talk that something is outdated, if something works - and works great, why change it? I don't see the point in it, oh well, but it's probably the same as changing your phone to a newer model - pure stupidity...

I like the color of the spider, and it's great to see you yet again.

Thanks! Well, it's partly made up and partly true :P But I guess that's good xD

It's great to see you too, especially since recently (a few months) there hasn't been much activity here.

Thanks for the comment and best regards!

@Mejson I encountered that pure stupidity in March of this year -- an update to Android OS broke my galaxy phone, so that it would not access the antenna tower! Planned obsolescence is the technical term. But I like yours better: stupidity!

Well, exactly. I feel sorry for you... And also - I can't stand these phone deals because people use their phones in 4% of all options, and they still buy new phones, and the old one still works - a classic reason for vanity and showing off a new phone, ehhh, no logic to bother with it...

Thanks for the comment!

Alas everyone definitely does not understand creative passions, or digital pastimes overall, it's unfortunate... good to hear you're having good times overall though, indeed there's nothing quite like time spent outside either!

Teen spider looks awesome, even though it's a teen it's.. pretty big. :P To health overall! And progress overtime, maybe occasionally slow but still always steady! 💪

Unfortunately... unfortunately :/ Well, you have to accept it and that's it... I think there's nothing you can do about it. Well, I'm having fun, but it's a shame I'm tired so often... Yes, the outdoors is great, I'd like to be immortal and have unlimited time... because I feel like time flies really fast and we're not getting any younger :/ Unfortunately...

Well, that's true :) Thanks! That's nice to hear! Well, yes, doing something regularly can help you reach your goal - even if it's far away.

Thanks for your comment! It's nice when you drop by sometimes! I remind you about the request I wrote on doscord, but of course the manager lazily did nothing about it...

Mmm I'm still thinking maybe I can convince some people eventually. :) If you can make a creative passion a career at least... some people at least understand money! Man, same, days are too short! But staying outdoors at least you're probably prolonging life a bit; staying in good form for the remaining years. :)

Ohh I might've missed the Discord one! I just respond to DMs these days there, gotta check in with some groups too I suppose, when I have some time.... I do keep up with the newsposts aty least, haven't missed one of these in a long time now. ;)
