Animation is great but that drink at the asshole line got me. The dialogue and visual gags are really funny!

WOW! Thank you so much to Tom and co for the frontpage! As a Newgrounds user of over ten years, this means a lot to me. This short was created in Blender using the Grease Pencil tool. Backgrounds done in Photoshop.

Fascinating video. Did it take a long time to render with blender? I know grease pencil isn't the same thing as doing 3D stuff in blender, but did it take hours or days to render this cartoon? I really don't want to have to setup a full farm just to make a cartoon in grease pencil blender.
You might be surprised! If you’re using the eevee engine and really minimal effects like in this cartoon, you can render pretty quickly. It never took me more than 15 minutes to render the whole cartoon out as a png sequence. Then I just bring those frames into premiere. In some ways, I prefer it to Adobe Animate.
Nice work
Haha this was great. It has kind of an old flash feel to it but looks crisp and fluid enough to function in a modern cartoon way. Stoner sperm is relatable. I often think about this myself, like... do the sperm even want to go to the egg, to eventually become complicated depressed humans? What if they only do it because they know they're gonna die shortly? Life is messed uppp
But hey if we were never born, we'd never get to hang on Newgrounds and make cool stuff :P
Thanks dude I appreciate the comment! Totally a cartoon about apathy vs ambition so great reading :)
This is so old school. As someone who has also been on newgrounds for over a decade, I seriously relate to that description. Props dude!
