Oh Noes! My flight home could be delayed by 2 weeks! I guess I'll have to stay in Florida for 4 more weeks then ;)


Posted by AurumOnline - April 15th, 2010


Ok, I'm not in good old Britain at the moment, I'm actually in America at the moment (Florida to be precise). I've come here several times before, but this is the first time I've ever taken a laptop on holiday.

Basically, Whilst browsing Newgrounds, Facebook and the like, I've got my feet in our private swimming pool- shit is SO CASH

...then I'm sorry to say that your "Cinderford Song" isn't finished yet. It will be eventually, when I actually get a chance to sit down at my laptop and chillax enough to come up with something.

That's kind of why this apology is out here in the open. Enjoy :)

Below this text which you are currently is a link to my new uploaded Audio submission, an Indie song with a bit of Hip-Hop in it. Now stop wasting time and click on it!

"Near The Ending"


Posted by AurumOnline - March 18th, 2010


Been doing alot of Pixel work lately (I've uploaded a handful, but there's loads I'm not happy with), and to be honest, I'm losing interest fast, so I'm taking a break.

So here's the deal, every once and while I pick up a pad, a pencil and maybe a pen, and get doodling and sketching. Tonight, I was wondering what makes new retro-styled sketches... well, new retro styled :P

I know the obvious things, like the heavy use of geometric shapes in creating form, as well as the thick outline around the main parts, but can anyone give me any more tips or links etc?

Thanks very much,
Zak Aston

After about 3 weeks of waiting, my audio submissions made it online finally! I'd like to thank the users who check the music for allowing my work onto Newgrounds, thanks very much, I appreciate the time and effort you put into getting through all the piled up submissions (which I understand there is ALOT).

Shame my first loop is rubbish, but at least my second is pretty decent! It's a remix/cover of Ratatat's "17 Years", check it out!!

What do you get if you cross Pixel Art and Fallout3?
The answer is the "Deadlands" comic.

Basically, I realised that there was a distinct lack of post-apocalyptic-pixel/8bit-web-comic-
pieces in existence, so I'm doing my bit to make some :)

Seeing that recent film "The Book of Eli" has been a big influence as well, I suggest seeing it :)

Check back soon for the first upload... like... tomorrow sometime :D

G'Night :)

I love it. I have a huge paint picture filled with a pixel-avatar of myself, as well as some things I hold dear- My guitars, my skates, my classic Mini...

You want to see it? Tough, I'm not uploading untill I get some opinions on this sort of art ;)

Picture relevant-
I'm working on a pixel/8-bit version of my temporary room (in between moving homes), and I thought I might as well include the HUGE Megan Fox poster that's on the back of my bedroom door. So yeah, although this picture shows her in the slighty wrong pose, it's close enough- I'm basically pixilising this poster. Sexy drawing times with Megan Fox... Hmmm :)

Tell me, 8-bit and Pixel art- Your Opinions (There's a picture of Megan Fox here too)
