Retrograde. Heh. That means to reverse things in effect. That was my anti-illuminati alias back in 2008. The group is disbanded and everyone is in prison now. Oh well, you can have it.

I chose it for the "Retrograde Amnesia" actually, but that is also true too. I did choose the word for the series because it has quite a few meanings/interpretations.
hey shadefalcon i'm got one simple question are you still working at DoD project?(don't take this question like i'm making you work) cause sinse the last episode i'm need to know what happened with the guy that blowed up angel island(i'm don't remember his name)so anyway tell me if you're still working in DoD see ya
Phew, Okay. A rare comment post. Can't Remember the last time I did this. Hey,Shade! Remember me? We had an "Interesting" conversation via Review on one of the DoD preveiws. I wanted to say that I am 100% behind the cancellation. I was a HUGE fan of the series, and I veiwed it as kind of a blueprint; How sprite movies SHOULD look. When I was watching the trailers, I had a hunch that it would be cancelled eventually. A human can only take so much of the same thing without desiring change. For you, The series probably got to the point where you said "Okay, I make an episode, Respond to reviews, Take oh, say 6-8 months out of my life to make another, submit it, listen to people whine for the next one, and repeat."
I think part of the reason some people took the cancellation so hard (see:sonicxx9) Is because when people love a series, they become attached to it in a sense, and they almost feel as if they should have some say or some ownership, Somebody will say "Listen I've watched this series from the beggining so I know what should be done with it.". I do cling on to the miniscule chance that you someday return to the series, but It is your call. Before I go, I would like to say that I noticed you said your inspiration for DoD came from Sonic's Quest For Power, Another Series I am a fan of. You need to know this last part, You went out and shoved your foot so far up that series ass, That any pebbles in your shoe became diamonds. DoD surpassed SQFP In so many ways that I can't name them all. The Sprite Era of Newgrounds may be over, but you were the pinnacle, The End-All. Even If the Anti-Sprite post had never appeared on the BBS, I EXTREMELY doubt any other sprite series could have ever topped it.
God Bless,

Thanks friend, so much, that really means a lot, more than you know. I hope you, and everyone else will enjoy my future artwork as much as DoD was enjoyed. =)
I can say one thing though. If I ever went back to DoD. I'd pick up where I left off, but it would either be a fully drawn animated series or a drawn graphic novel series.
Hey, just dropped by to send you a keep-it-up message. I've paid attention to some of your artwork and each new piece has been growing more interesting. I like the dark takes on characters, along with the original art. I'd leave a review and vote, but I'm not very experienced in reviewing art so my reviews wouldn't be very sincere or meaningful, unlike flash. I'm looking forward to seeing Retrograde unfold and your art in 'full blast.' It's obvious to say you have a calling for a good work.
Good luck in your endeavors,
Zakair
Thanks dude, I appreciate that, and it means lot. As far as the things I need to work on more, I'm still practicing anatomy/proportions, and my screamer vocals for music. Everything else though is coming along quite well. Thank for your support dude. =)
So what exactly will this be like? A book or an online story?
Most likely a book. I'd like to one day make it an animated series as well, but that would come last.
I think you're a very good artist Shade. You do good at making pictures and flash animations. Gonna miss DOD though. I know it's cancelled, and it's understandable, but I was starting to really get into it. lol
DoD is still cancelled or no.
Dude, it's GONE, it's not coming back. And if it ever did, it wouldn't be back again for YEARS.
I'm so sorry, DoD5 pt.3 is not out never.
Ok ok, I read Dod Episode Synopses.
HOORAY!
Hey your an awesome artist i saw your new submissions i reviewed the shadow one and the dog.
Question:Will you be working on anymore flash?Because your awesome at it!
Question:What type of book is it Action,Adventure,Comedy?
Thanks dude. I'm trying to get those few in the art portal still. NG still has a lot of bugs, and I spotted this one in the redesign. Figures just when I decide to submit more...
Maybe some here and there if I get bored. I am open to people who want to make games. I'd be willing to make the sprites for them.
It's going to be advnture/sci-fi. I only say adventure because I can't label it as:
Action/Horror/Sci-Fi/Drama/Mild Romance/Witty sarcastic humor
dude u draw good dont be ashame just because people hate that dod is gone if u like 2 draw thats the way u will stay and no one will change so im just saying but to me your drawings are extreme :)
Thank you dude. =)
dude also i dont care if dod is gone honestly
your drawings are amazing so keep up the drawing :)
Yeah I had the same bugs on the art portal I made a sonic sketch Now i can't put it in the portal.
Make a comment about it on the FP update post Tom made. If more people say this, it should be fixed.
I did, so far nothing yet
BUG FIXED
Awesome. Do you have IE for your browser too? Because that's why the Mods thought I was having trouble at the time as well.
Sorry Anthony I don't know what your talking about if your talking about an art program I use Gimp.
Its not what type of program you do to upload something, it was a newgrounds bug.
*facepalm* That's what I'm talking about, your browser and your OS can effect the problem when uploading. But you're not scouted in the art portal so you're not experiencing the same problem as me dude.
Ok Thanks Shade

I'v seen your art and it's good, but I'm not good at reveiwing art most of the time. I don't want to just say "that's good" because any dipshit can say that. With flash one can say much more much easier.
PS You don't need to put a space in the link you put in your post.

Trust me, I'm fine with hearing a simple comment. A review and a vote just shows the artist whose work you like some support, same as a flash.
P.S. That's in glitch in NG's system. Happens to everyone all the time.
