Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

For those of you who don't know, we won second place in the NG Pico Day 2008 for TANKMEN INFINITY. We got our NG Pico Day 2008 award package today - A Pico Award Statue with our names on it: John & Richie, a Captain figurine (came out of check), a new NG Tshirt, and a check for $1980.00 bad boys from Tom! Its all so awesome, thanks to everyone who voted for our submission, and thanks to everyone else who participated in Pico Day, you all made it fun to watch. We are going to take out $200 and send it to our Voice Actress, Kellie. She's done all the female voices for us over the years-did 'TankGirl' on short notice-and now that we have some money we'd like to show her our appreciation. With the rest of the money we won, along with what we've saved, we're gonna buy a Cintiq 20 WSX tablet. It'll take a while to get used to, but it'll be nice to have some professional animation tools, and move away from the mouse.

Thanks Tom! Hope you're having fun in Jamaica (=

The second reason we're posting, is that we're looking for someone who can do a good Jack Bauer impersonation. He has a tiny part in our next movie and we'd like to do him justice. So if you think you can do a good Jack Bauer voice, please send us some samples at: jackbauerlines@gmail.com. Use his usual "Damn!" and "SonofaBitch!" lines and make it interesting. Please just send a single email. If we think you're good we'll send you some official lines and then we'll use the best impersonation in the movie, and of course the voice actor will be mentioned in the credits. Thanks!

-John & Richie

I wish I could do a Jack Bauer impersonation. Found the perfect line to go with it too.

The following recording takes place between 9:45pm and 10:09pm.

Anyways, congrats on the award and hope to see some animations with the tablet!

good luck with the cintiq guys, they're great tablets

May. 25, 2008 | 7:14 AM Wonchop says:

1980 seems like a rather odd number don'tcha think?

May. 25, 2008 | 9:54 AM squeakytoad says:

Everyone tells me I look like Jack Bauer. Pretty much literally everyone.

But I haven't really watched his show, so I don't know if I could do a proper imitation of his voice.

May. 25, 2008 | 10:06 AM JonBro says:

TANKMEN INFINITY was great! You definitely deserved it!

May. 25, 2008 | 10:30 AM MindChamber says:

What ya think of the trophy? I was going for a weathered look when I had them done. I hope it wasnt over done :(

May. 25, 2008 | 11:37 AM Pikanjo responds:

Ohhh, its so nice- its heavy (= valuable), its silver, well etched, it has our names, and Pico looks totally badass. Thank you guys so much!

Sep. 22, 2008 | 12:18 AM Pikanjo responds:

As soon as the Nin10Doh! sequel comes, I plan to only work on PK4" (too bad I've said that before).

you are arsome

Sep. 26, 2008 | 4:00 PM Stevoisiak says:

Is it just me, or did that have NOTHING to do with Pico whats so ever?

Sep. 26, 2008 | 4:13 PM Pikanjo responds:

Nothing.
But the Entries for Pico Day this year could be either Pico, Dad n Me, or Tankmen oriented, and I was thinking of doing a TANKMEN parody anyway...

-Richie

Sep. 28, 2008 | 12:03 AM olipido says:

oh i forgot to ask how is BK4 coming along? is it going well?

Oct. 4, 2008 | 5:12 AM Swe-Guy says:

i want to tell you something
Ask JohnnyUtah to make a team or something like that
Make a episode together
do it now! xD
if you guys do that i can't wait for the next episode (if you guys are going to make more tankmen)

Oct. 4, 2008 | 12:35 PM Pikanjo responds:

I actually think it'd be sweet to intern in Philly with the NG staff and work on stuff together... Next summer maybe (= Right now I have to get back to PK4"

Oct. 4, 2008 | 8:56 PM Chrisman01 says:

Nov. 22, 2008 | 10:55 PM solarflare67 says:

TO RICHIE:sooooo... how do you like your new animating tool(s) that you bought with your award money? and i like your interesting stuff tabs in pk series that's too funny. how long does it take for you to work on a flash just as a question not to harass (im not even talking about your current progress im talking about how long you think it would take you with no distractions) and last but not least my final question besides why do you killJohn so much is... HOW THE HELL DO YOU GUYS MAKE perfect animations SO EASILY?!?!?!?!?!? i wish i could help you if only i knew how good luck! oh and look at the smiley(s) first is a clown second is a guy with an afro {}=<>) {}=) oh i almost forgot kirby <-.-> lol don't forget to reply... Worlds Greatest Animators!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry if i spammed i went a little crazy... =( =,( xC -_- [rip] *sad music* .... hope you find your voice actors... -SolarFlare67 =)

Nov. 23, 2008 | 12:30 AM Pikanjo responds:

i love the Wacom Monitor-tablet, we actually got the 21UX because it went down $500 right before we ordered it-good timing I guess. Depending on the Flash, it could be done fast or slow. My US of Whateva took about a month to do from start to finish, TANKMEN INFINITY took about a month to animate with about 2-3 weeks of prep-thinking up plots and planning out scenes & such... But something like PK4 takes a longer time, because its at least 4 times as long as the others, and requires to be worked on not only during breaks, but during school/work-and as such, I have large pausing periods (not to mention I seem to take up new work, when I should be finishing my current jobs )... I finished my $00pah NiN10Doh! piece and I'm waiting for it to come out...

You can see that I've been working on animation for like 10 years, and I've only recently been good at it. <('.')>

Nov. 23, 2008 | 2:15 AM solarflare67 says:

thank you for responding Richie are you going to use that tablet on any animations that your working on or are you using it for pk4 and everything after that? oh um i dont care if pk4 isn't out for a wile i don't want to harass you so i wont spam like that besides playing music what helped you work on animations while as in the faqs on your site say john did jack? and when your done with the animation madness (by which i mean making pk4 so your fans don't eventually beat the shit out of you ((not including me of course))) do you mind showing me things for making flash i mean your movies are always smooth (accept pk1) and look awesome. i would be sooo happy if you could help because i really want to be a good animator like you and very few other people. newgrounds was better before, now it has more spammers and morons stuffing the portal with stuff that barely avoided the blam cannon... anyway a quick question for you is... crap!!! i forgot oh well i saw your responce and i say your a liar you have always been good at animating!!! (pk1 was your worst but don't worry its still the best i have seen for a while) btw im a recent newgrounds user BUT i saw your pk movies when only 2 was out so im happy that you have made more flashes i think a lot of people appreciate you reply when you can okay? oh ya why didnt john do jack in n1n10doh? hopefully you can relax over the holidays and i have an idea for a pk short if you want to know just respond to this or pm me i dont care i enjoy chatting with someone i thought would be impossible to talk too... holy shit i sound like a fangirl what the FUCK aaaagggghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! *commits suicide* wait im still alive! x_X hold on ill stop acting crazy OH MY GOD YOU KILLED KENNY YOU BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!! PHEW OK IM FINE NOW cant wait for a reply/pm bye wait one last thing do you and john have conflicts about the script a lot? and do you stray from his path a lot? if so your really creative good job man -SolarFlare and on youtube darkfiz6796
