I like to think of things that make me smile, then bundle up those smiles into silly, semi-violent, cartoon-shaped packages, and then give them to people over the internet! SMILES FOR ALL!!!

WhiteLightning's News

Posted by WhiteLightning - December 25th, 2010


Merry Christmas, Newgrounders! Just wanted to say thanks so much for all the support on "Holiday Stress." Despite each video doing even better than the last, I still always worry that this one is the one I'm going to screw up on, so it's refreshing to see so many positive reviews...and awards, and facebook posts, etc... Also, thanks to all of you who have listened to our podcastand sent me an email. We will be recording Episode 2 as soon as we can.

In other news, I just got a copy of Fable III for Christmas, so I can begin gathering material! :D But that is all I'll be doing for now. You can probably expect a Fable III Experience sometime this year, perhaps in the summer, but I'll be working on some more original shorts for both Newgrounds and Youtube in the meantime.

Thanks for the love,
-Kyle Sullivan (White Lightning)

Hey guys, I need your opinion on something. I'm hoping to finish my Christmas cartoon by Friday before I leave for NYC, and won't be back until late Christmas Eve night. If I finish it, then...well, nothing to worry about. If not...that's where the opinions come in. Do you guys think I should continue and release it late as-is (Yoda's Christmas was released in August, after all), change it a bit to just be a "winter" themed cartoon, or the less desirable options, save it until next year or just give it up?

Anyway, hope to see what you think, but I hope more for it not to matter because I finish on time anyway. Wish me luck, and Happy Various Christmastime Holidays!

-Kyle Sullivan (White Lightning)

EDIT: So, I have six responses, and, no matter what computer I use, can't see any of them...I'd ask for your suggestions, but...you know.

EDIT: Well, there you go, problem solved! All released and snifty like. Hope you all enjoy, I hate that I won't be able to monitor the video's progress for the next week, but I'm off to NYC tomorrow, WOO!

"Holiday Stress," White Lightning's Possibly Possible Christmas Special


Posted by WhiteLightning - November 24th, 2010


Well, there it is. Still behind schedule, but hey, the time between video releases is getting shorter and shorter. Eventually I might have several good cartoons out a year :)

And I can't believe how well this one's doing! In the first 12 hours, it got front paged, a score of 4.5, the Daily Feature award, and beat out almost all the other videos of the past week to earn Weekly Third Place. And I thought it wouldn't be as good as the first one...

So, I'm also trying to spread this one around more, and sent some links to the editors over at Halolz, so hopefully they'll like it. Last time, someone sent a link to Lionhead Studios over Twitter and they reposted it on THEIRS, which was incredible, and would be double incredible if it happened a second time (wink wink, nudge nudge).

I know you all wasted no time in requesting more brain-numbing hours of work from me to satisfy your infinite need for entertainment, but I don't think I'll be working on more Fable stuff for a while, sorry. However, that doesn't mean I won't be making any more stuff at all, of course. I've got a Christmas short planned out, I'm still making Youtubelive-action skits, and I'll see what ideas I choose for next year.

In the meantime, please keep yourself updated on my Facebookpage or forum, listen to our podcast, shop at my store, or just browse my site. Thanks to everyone for watching my stuff and getting it to where it is!

Happy November and Thanksgiving,
-Kyle Sullivan (White Lightning)

Creepy Rodriguez Says, "Enjoy the New Fable Video!"


Posted by WhiteLightning - November 9th, 2010


I deeply apologize for not having this cartoon out sooner, I've been so busy with school and other such lesser factors of life. For those of you who are fans of the first video, it shouldn't matter too much that Fable III is already out (I hope), and hopefully it will be the same for those who see this one first.

I'm confident that it will still be entertaining anyway, and that most of you probably haven't even bought Fable III yet. The technical quality is a hundred times better than the first video, and I'm crossing my fingers that the content and jokes will be too. I'm concentrating hard on getting it finished by the end of next week, so be sure to check back around that time.

Thanks for being patient!

Fable II 2 in TWO weeks!!


Posted by WhiteLightning - October 5th, 2010


Hey guys, happy October!

I apologize for the slight delay in making "Another Fable II Experience." I've been a little busy with college starting, other projects, and some laziness. However, I've started animating again, and plan to have this cartoon out AT LEAST by the 26th, which is the release date of Fable III.

In addition to my second Fable II video, which will be AWESOME, I recently released a new comedy sketch, made a Digory Art Portal submission, and gave my website a nice autumn theme for the next couple of holidays.

After the cartoon's release, I still have several more videos planned, both live-action and cartoon. Until then, everyone can still discuss various White Lightning ish subjects on my forum, or listen to the first episode of our podcast and let us know what you think!

If you'd like updates on my videos n such, you can also follow my Facebook page.

Have an awesome month!

October Awesomeness

After the amazing, unexpected response to the first cartoon, I've decided to go with everyone's suggestion and make another! The last one was made very very quickly, so this time I'll spend more time on the project as a whole, probably 2-4 weeks. I redrew the characters as seen below. They still look like the same people, just cleaner and more detailed. As requested, the new cartoon will be longer, cover more topics, have more backgrounds, be at least equally as funny (I hope), and I'll try to do a little better on the voice acting for some of you Newgrounds Nazis. Keep a look out for it sometime next month!

(For those of you who didn't see the first one, you can find it here.)

Another Fable II Experience


Posted by WhiteLightning - July 30th, 2010


Alright, so I released yet another short cartoon before Last Ditch Grenades. But you know what? If you still listen to my release time estimates by now, the problem is yours.

Anyway, check out the new cartoon, A Fable II Experience. Probably the quickest and dumbest cartoon I've made (not including some of my early crap). But it still turned out pretty funny.

I've also updated the site again (CLICK HERE! :D), and made another live-action short. So CLICK HERE :D and check out my new stuff!

Have a snazz-tastic day!

HALO NEXT, I SWEARZ!!!1


Posted by WhiteLightning - June 16th, 2010


I have finished graduating early, and accept the applause that I'm sure you're giving me.

Anyway, I now have more free time, and have completed a live-action short sketch. Obviously, I can't load it to Newgrounds, so I'll just put it here:

Next is Last Ditch Grenades, I swear.

Don't buy Premiere Elements. Ever. That is all.


Posted by WhiteLightning - March 10th, 2010


Hey, everybody! Remember that funny thing about that Halo cartoon I was gonna make in January? Hehe, yeah, good times...

Well, that will still be out, probably this summer. I've been caught up with early graduation and another project that I've been slowly working on for three years. Introducing....dum da da DUUUMMMM.......

Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction, my newly released comic book, only $15! By my bad luck, I happened to finish around the same time that the Cyanide and Happiness book came out. But if you want more comicy goodness, buy this one too. It's cool. To get yourself a copy, click HERE.

Once I get my mounds of schoolwork out of the way, I'll be back to work on animated cartoons, starting with Last Ditch Grenades.
