Hey whats up people, just wanted to give you guys an update on Enyo !
Soooo where do i start man, i guess i'll start off by saying i've seperated the "offcial episode one." into two parts. The reason behind this decision is that if i did go through with the original run time, the episode would be like 10-15mins, and due to the short attention span of the internet, i dont think someone would want to sit through a 10-15min episode haha, so i cut the the episode into a part one and part two, and the run time should be at least 3-5mins (im assming of course ). The other reason i split it in half is beacause theres no way id finish it this year, dunno if you guys know this, but i like just started animating in 2016, and i have alot to learn, so there would be no way id be able to finish a 10-15min episode on time.
Secondly im a perfectionist to a dysfuctional degree, and ive re-aniamted the same couple of cuts ive been stuck on twice already, and these cuts are like 8+seconds, so thats holding me up alot, i think i need to just keep pushing on because a finished prodcut is better than a perfect product.
I think that may be it for now, im 30% done with the first episode, and if i aniamte a cut a week, i should have this finished pretty soon, i dunno who all enjoyed the pilot i released here on newgrounds, but if you liked it and are waiting for more, i apologize and ill do my best not to disappoint you guys.
Also whats been keeping me afloat is the encouragment from my voice actors, the believe in this product more than i do, and im very thankful theyve stuck with me this far.
Thats all for now, please dont expect to much of this project though, dont get to hype, it'll make me nervous X^D

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL !!
alright boys and girls heres the low down with Enyo, the voice actor that was voicng Enyo dropped out on me, which really really really sucked because she was awesome, i have no idea why because i never received clarity on the situation, so that slowed down production alot, since i can't animate a character that i didnt have a voice to. So i scrambled towards the end of 2016 to get a voice actor, and finally got her replaced. Another thing was i just kept redoing cuts because nothing ever seemed right, im a perfectionist to a dysfuctional degree, and that has hindered me a ton, because nothing was ever getting done.
On top of this i was working an ULTRA shitty job in 2016, i was a correctional officer at a maximum security/close custody faciltiy, and as you can imagine it was really rough on me man, but somehow i managed to maintain myself and keep peace of mind and find resolve, but as you can imagine that slowed down the production for enyo since i was dealing with alot of shit internally and externally at the job.
I lost faith in this project many of times, i feel like maybe i rushed things, and that i should just say fuck it and drop the series all together, but that wouldn't be smart, because i've already came this far in production it would be stupid to just stop. Its funny people have more faith in my project than i do.
I said all that to say this, be on the look out of the offical episode of Enyo in the coming months im working very hard on it, and i hope you guys will enjoy it, and thanks for sticking with me !

Whats up people progress is going slow, since im still learning how to animate semi decently lol, but im getting better with every cut, i just wanted to show people that i am actually working on making this a series and not just talking about it, its going to take awhile, but im determined !
