...or rather dancing.

I'm getting faster. Much faster. I know understand part of adding texture and punctuating rhythm to my movies also means adding more variety to my life. Years ago when I was in better shape I made Haloid in just over 2 months. Dead Fantasy 2 was made in about 4 months. These days as I get older and gain more skill. Somehow I seem to be getting slower. And part of it is re igniting my passion for things.

My movies have always been very rhythmic. And exercising rhythm in my life adds haste to my process. In an odd way, much like dancing adding texture and beats to my work means being ok with going slower. By learning how to be faster.

Fan of Dead Fantasy, and I just saw Haloid. Heard you were working at RT (but don't know if that's true), and I just have to say that I am impressed. Keep up the wonderful work.

Someone stealing Monty's Art and making money off it. [link] Please help in reporting the theft. If they want a poster they should buy it directly from Monty as you can buy prints from him.

Ignoring all the "noise" you make constantly, what in hevean or hell did suggest you than - if I get it right, there will be a release of Dead Fantasy this year?

probably from my earlier comment. I vaguely remember Monty posting a poll that asked if we wanted him to do one video a year, or hold off, work his ass off, and release sometime at the end of 2012/2013, and asked in an earlier comment wether this was true or a delusion ^^;
And since Monty hasnt made any comments about a release date since, Montana, you need to accept that not only will this take a long time, Monty might not be able to release a date simply because he doesn't know when he'll be done.
Or he could be done already, Idk when the next Dead Fantasy'll come out, but I don't think hounding him for a release date is going to speed things along.

...maybe if we promise one of these for every release:

i want to know release date of Dead Fantasy 6.Please

One does not simply find out the release date of the Dead Fantasies to come.

One must first climb Mt. Everest in order to look down upon the world to find a glowing prism.

Once the prism can be seen, one must travel to the prism's location and remove it from it's booby-trapped maze where it has been resting for countless decades.

When the prism is acquired, one has 54 hours to bathe it in the Fountain of Youth, found deep within a pond fond 400 miles west of the Great Chinese Wall.

When the prism is soaked in the holy water, it must be inserted into the dark door which must not be named in one of the many pyramids in Egypt.

Once inserted, the pyramid will descend into the ground, where you will find Monty Oum and a laptop, working on Dead Fantasy -- his RvB persona is merely a guise to prevent people from knowing his true location.

When Monty has supplied your answer, he will transform into six small crows, and fly into the sun, never to be seen for another four years.

As I said once, I really wonder if Leonardo Da Vinci while painting the "Gioconda" (or many others great artists in the past) had peasants constantly coming to his house asking repatedly "Dude, you finished, yet??".

Anyway, in the name of all the Dead Fantasy fans that are waiting so long, I will know perform a subtle revenge against RT by showing you this.

'cause nerf guns are never enough... :XD:

(yeah, you can do DF but can you do this?

you mean new episode of DF will come out this years and at the end years right?
this is confirm or rumours.

I suppose at this point, we have to give Monty the Blizzard Entertainment treatment--that is:

"When it's done, it's done."

That said, on an unrelated note, have any of you noticed that this new Bnet "2.0" (more like 0.2) generation of games (Starcraft 2, looking like D3 also, WoW) are WORSE in the memorable areas?

Though, on a somewhat related note...while Monty's techniques have improved, I still think part II was the most epic of the DFs due to the fantastic team battle choreography and the fact that the laws of physics were sitting back and eating popcorn.

Judging by DF 8 (Namine), we're getting back to the epicness.

I did not like warcraftII. SC was nice. WarIII was awesome. Wow provided me the best entertainment experience I have ever had for the best price/playtime ratio I have ever seen. Now that I stopped WoW it is very annoying to be disappointed by every online game I try out.

DF II is also my fav :). DF III could have been my number 1 episode if it had been slightly longer though.

by the way, Fan of the Fans, in response to the accusation that Monty can't even take one day to send his fans something, a question; Did you miss his gallery on the way to the comments? He's shown several girls whos models he has redone, announced several new characters in clips that he either put up himself or were leaked online, further more, he's asked fans for their opinions via his twitter and FB (i am recalling him asking us to submit drive forms, dressphere designs, and name a character who's in red) So thank you sir for your concern, but he's doing everything he can, if you can't wait anymore, then stop watching. Hassling him to produce an episode a year isn't going to make DF come any faster.

Additionally, to other avid journal readers, was there or was there not some sort of posting where he asked wether we'd want a 3 min episode a year or have him work his ass off and let them all fly at the end of 2012? I could be delusional but I'm almost certain I came across a posting like that, help me out here x3

I'm slightly bothered by how impatient people are, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The only people who have the right to tell Monty that it's sad that he's made people wait this long for DF are the ones who have actually animated a scene before, they are the only ones who truly knows how long it takes to render every frame, make sure the scene flows properly, not to mention he's doing everything by himself, noone helps with sounds, music (save the artists he borrows from), particle effects, or even fight choreography. Couple all this with the fact that he has a demanding job, it's like saying his finishing DF for us, for FREE, is more important than him making enough money to pay his bills. Now he has stated before that he wonders wether he should even continue DF because of how many people demand a new episode, and in all honesty, I wouldn't blame him if he decided to do a cheap ending to finish the series, or stop producing it altogether. Why? Because this is something he does, for fun, for us, for FREE, on his SPARE TIME. Of which, he has little to none. I've eagerly awaited every DF release and personally cannot wait until Rinoa makes her reappearance (she is ultimate in WIN, in my own personal opinion), but that doesnt mean I'm going to hound him daily until he gives me a new episode. I don't get where people think that just cuz they like something, they're entitled to more of it. Keep your demanding comments to yourself please, you're not the only one who's waiting, and let's not forget, he has put his personal life on hold for this project, we are selfish to think he should be doing more. Has noone stopped to think that he's putting the final touches on an episode as we speak? Or that he's done with all of them and plans to release them at a convention? Probably not. We have no idea what Monty is planning, and we have no right to. As fans, our only job is to support him in his endeavors and cheer when we see the next level of bad-assery he will present. Lay off people, and let the man do his thing :/
We do not have a right to more Dead Fantasy episodes, it is a privilege, please remember that.
^ This is directed only to those who try and rush Monty, not to every single fan he has.
To Monty: Bro, keep doing what your doing. For every uber-fan that expects an episode every year, there are at least one of us fans willing to wait a lifetime for one :3
