The goal of Suckermouth is to produce one to two animations a week, and "A new cartoon every week!" is the site's claim. So why in the world has there not been a new animation all month?
On the morning of September 27, after wrapping up the renders for Part 5 of "What's Breast for Women", I restarted my computer in preparation for editing. It never came back on.
I have one production computer (the others in the house - including this one - can't render crap), so I had no time to waste; I rushed the computer into a recommended repair shop on the Sunday it went down. Although I suspected my laptop had a blown motherboard, I let the shop diagnose it, and that took a solid week.
I gave the go-ahead on the $400 repair, and was advised the part would have to be ordered. I asked that a rush be put on the order, and was willing to pay extra. Apparently the part never got rushed, because a week later, it was MIA.
I finally received a call last Sunday. The repair shop had installed the "new" motherboard, but it had no power. Apparently, it wasn't new but refurbished, and the shop would need to send the bad part back and wait for the new one.
Again, that was last Sunday, and the shop told me it could be 2-3 more weeks. I had every hope in the world this repair could have been accomplished in two weeks' time, barely creating a dent in Suckermouth's production schedule. I could not have foreseen the headache this has become.
Because I plan on hitting the ground running the second my PC is repaired, I saw no reason to alarm my members with conjecture about when production would resume. I wanted a definitive answer, but considering how this has dragged on, it's important to update everyone.
It looks like the best case scenario is that I could have the computer back in a week and a half, and the worst case is two and half weeks. Please understand that this website and these animations are my life, and not being able to create has been as miserable experience as you can imagine.
Beyond the immediate repair, I will need to focus on getting a newer and better computer, which will in turn improve both the quality and quantity of my animations. Your membership dollars help this happen, but I understand that I'm not running a charity here: You deserve your animations.
And you shall get them. I will never forget the courtesy you extended me by staying a member in this trying time.
Thank you,
Aaron Mystery

September to be a month of Featurettes
by Ace the Zombie
A few Quickies lately have teased larger projects: both "Chair" episodes, plus the two "G.I. Grow" clips. The related Featurettes (plus a new episode of Transformation Fantasy Force) are certainties for September. Relevant elements of the Quickies will be incorporated into the new Giantess and G.I. Grow projects, while TFF: "Thar Be Monsters Part 2" will be all new.
I am currently working on TFF as a matter of fact, and admittedly scaled down some of the detail in the sewer scene so that I could focus on the important stuff: The Transformation. Who or what will transform? Find out of the next episode of Transformation Fantasy Force!
For the G.I. Grow Featurette, I have tentative plans for a lot of cat fighting and the introduction of a third character. And of course, the B.E. will go a lot farther than in the Quickies.
The Giantess Featurette has been discussed here in the past. I don't know that it will be the only Giantess project in September, but if it is, it will probably be my best animation of the whole month. Only time will tell...
Just letting you know what to expect for September. Should be a great month with a lot more animations than just those mentioned. See you soon with Transformation Fantasy Force: "Thar Be Monsters Part 2".

August Round-up and the end of an era
by Ace the Zombie
As the sun sets on the last day of August 2009, an era comes to a close. When Aaron Mystery started the members section at Suckermouth in 2006, sign ups were $3 (for a week) and $4.95 a month. When the prices went up this last January, the $3 sign up became $9 for the first month, but rebills were merely rounded up to $5 a month.
Let's face it, though: The quality and - at times - the frequency of Suckermouth animations have improved greatly since November 2006, and even since January 2009. To continue this trend, a price increase is not only required but - after three years - to be expected.
Don't fret. You have until midnight Pacific time tonight to sign up for Suckermouth at the current prices. Current price and September prices compared below:
Moving on, I am very satisfied with the animations produced in August. Grouped by category, they are:
Transformation Fantasy Force
What's Breast for Women Part 4
Origins: Jen-Der Ben-Der (M2F)
B.E. Quickies
The Chair (adapted from a WIP Giantess featurette)
G.I. Grow #1 (adapted from a WIP parody B.E. featurette)
GTS Quickies
The Giantess Chair (adapted from a WIP Giantess featurette)
Ace the Zombie
BErater (B.E.)
What to expect in September? Featurettes galore, from G.I. Grow to Transformation Fantasy Force to Giantess, plus a couple more Quickies. Who knows what else? All that is certain that it will cost you more if you wait until September to join.

As August draws to a close, new animations emerge...
by Ace the Zombie
While it's technically still too early for a recap of August's videos, I can say it was a fairly productive and promising month. So, instead of focusing on what's been completed (I'll leave that for the next blog), I shall focus on three very different animated featurettes in progress.
Even though it's already produced a couple Quickies, the new Giantess featurette has some great unseen material ready to go (including a render that took over 24 hours!), but I still have to pull this one together for September. I want to basically make the best quick Giantess animation in history. No kidding.
I created half the episode for Transformation Fantasy Force "Thar Be Monsters Part 2", but only recently had the courage to take on the more complicated second half, which involves the most exotic sewer system you'll ever see. I may upload some of the "creature" animations, but haven't decided yet. Of course, being the next chapter of TFF - which has become my main project these days - this episode will premier in September as well.
And lastly, I'm working on an animated parody I've been obsessed with making since I saw the wonderful "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra". Whether you liked it or not (I LOVED IT!), surely you noticed that Baroness and Scarlett were not lacking in the chest area. So why not "amp" (pump?) it up a bit, and animate a good ol' parody cat fight? While the Quickie isn't a cat fight per se, the featurette will be a little more ambitious in its action. Quickie will debut tonight; featurette next month.
Well, thanks for reading this far - you must be really bored or really like my animations. Stay tuned!

A Trifecta of Promos (and some YouTube news)
by Ace the Zombie
[UPDATE: All three promo animations are now available at: http://www.youtube.com/NewSuckermouth and/or http://www.DailyMotion.com/Suckermouth]
Let's get the bad news out of the way: I have received my second strike at the Official Suckermouth YouTube channel, so I can't upload there for a while (the video that was removed was "GTS Quickie 2 Teaser"). I've created a new companion YouTube channel: sub here in anticipation of new videos.
In related - but better - news, I will be debuting three promos on the community sites (both the one above and my DailyMotion channel) very soon.
The first promo is for a B.E. Quickie called "The Chair" (which has been available to Suckermouth members since August 21); it is an adaptation from the big new Giantess featurette I'm working on. It's also a chance for B.E. purists to enjoy the scene without any GTS.
I'll also cut a promo for the GTS Quickie based on the same featurette. The full Quickie should debut on Suckermouth tonight, with a little luck.
Lastly, I'm debating whether to cut a pure What's Breast for Women 4 promo, or a Priscilla Minx highlight reel featuring some shots from that vid, among others. I'm leaning towards a very brief highlight reel.
Look for all three new promos on Monday at both my new YouTube channel and my DailyMotion channel. Don't forget to subscribe! And thanks for watching!

For lack of a better title: "BErater" Promo Animation
by Ace the Zombie
Not going to ramble on too much, since this blog's main purpose is to debut the promo for my latest breast expansion animation starring me. I truly hope you enjoy it. Suckermouth version offers more, as always.

Sneak Peek: "Hater" Day 2
by Ace the Zombie
Even though "Mira Maria of the Mouth" was only a silly working title, I feel compelled - with the most recent edit - to change the working title to "Hater." (The model's mention of her own name has been edited out, so there's no point in keeping the old title.)
The edit below is all new, except for the very first render. It is a much stronger production without the terrible introduction that dragged on and on. You're seeing this vid right up until the first breast expansion, which I'm about to render now. The initial B.E. - since it's clothed - will be part of this vid when it debuts on YouTube and DailyMotion, maybe as soon as tomorrow.
The ETA for this entire vid's debut on Suckermouth is also tomorrow (but that can always slip). Please enjoy the sneak peek below:
