Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I finished Mastermind 4. Here it is! I cannot believe it's been over a year since I submitted episode 3. By next month I intend to have worked on episode 5, but you know how these things turn out...

I think I might be going to this Anime Supercon in Miami this weekend. Anyone else showing up? I hear Bruce Campbell is gonna be there, isn't that fascinating? If the event doesn't suck, then maybe we can convince NG to branch out toward more Florida conventions, like the fun little Megacon experience we had earlier this year.

I wanted to make a day trip over to NY during the Philly Con meetup :(

So, is there any good reason join the Mastermind's empire? You know, excluding the bitchin' red theme and paychecks every Friday...

Jun. 5, 2009 | 10:56 AM zabutei says:

Ah the people that say first comment,what else will they do besides commenting first,it just silly!
Anyways,I do enjoy Mastermind,any updates on Blockhead?

Jun. 5, 2009 | 10:59 AM OathKeeperRoxas says:

Do you prefer coming up with ideas for Mastermind or Blockhead?

Jun. 5, 2009 | 11:08 AM Hulalaoo says:

wow, you comic style is really cool, and the combination with tween swet animation, exelent casting of voice and good jokes, a professional work

Jun. 5, 2009 | 11:19 AM Lagamuffin says:

I FUCKING LOVE PAPER, what a great toon and a great line. :3

Jun. 5, 2009 | 11:22 AM cantflyman says:

I loved the new setting. It was pretty funny to see him get ganged up upon by his cohorts only to shove it aside with his massive ego.

Also, if you happen to see this, how are you doing with Racist Vampires?

Jun. 5, 2009 | 11:26 AM rsslee43 says:

Swain, I love it, I also write a review for it! Another long, detailed one!

Those damn Frenchies

Jun. 5, 2009 | 11:59 AM beenman19 says:

I'll be at the con. Hope to see you there!

Jun. 5, 2009 | 12:02 PM 10JD says:

I like Mastermind and all, but I miss Blockhead :( Will you ever make a new one?

Jun. 5, 2009 | 12:14 PM AwesomeMan35 says:

Awesome animation! I am now officially a fan of the series. Recently I've discovered that a lot of NG artists and animators live in my area in South Florida. Now that you're going I'll have to go see that Anime Supercon.

Jun. 5, 2009 | 12:22 PM Darkey says:

Wonderful work again Swain, and yes it is worth his rushing home to see.

Episode 5 sure that we all looking forward to it, although I secretly plead at night to the flash gods that you might consider another game installment. The last truly was a comic gem.

Jun. 5, 2009 | 12:28 PM Battosai810 says:

I'm gonna watch this as soon as I get home.
Any plans to branch out to Boston? I was at Anime Boston a week or two ago and it would've been awesome if you guys were there!

Pure awesomeness.

I'm so glad a) that I bought the T-Shirt (see the review) and b) that I managed to scavenge a Save point for this masterpiece of Mastermind.

*worships*

Jun. 6, 2009 | 7:27 PM DrRobot says:

I REALLY like the coloring in this series. Since my coloring skills are not as good as yours, you think you can make a quick tutorial, or outline how you go about coloring your landscapes, and figures?

Jun. 10, 2009 | 4:34 AM The-Swain responds:

Well the coloring in Mastermind is easy: use red

Jun. 8, 2009 | 12:46 AM benaji261 says:

Jun. 9, 2009 | 6:49 PM Sir-Nuts says:

Was that... AN ANSWER?!?

Jun. 9, 2009 | 11:04 PM XDusk says:

Hmm , I plan on going to this Anime Supercon. It's not too far from where I live and I could get a couple friends to come with me :) . Exactly where and when is it?

Jun. 10, 2009 | 10:46 AM Psycedelic says:

Bruce cambell!??!?! HE'S MY HERO!!!!!

Jun. 11, 2009 | 1:53 PM skater007 says:

Mister Swain, why are you so awesome? >:c

Jun. 12, 2009 | 12:35 AM cooman4ever says:

I always thought it would be funny if mastermind meet a greater or lesser supervillian. Like maybe the met at the same place to capture/destroy/enslave/conquer/other evil things. Anyways it is just a suggestion if you ever decide to make another.

Jun. 12, 2009 | 1:53 AM jamesrules says:

Below. Below me.

Uh oh!

Jun. 13, 2009 | 7:17 PM RIGO1 says:

You should make the next one about MASTERMIND's R&D department where one of his scientists is making stupid mutant soilders that have no real use for taking over the world but their one that he likes

Jun. 14, 2009 | 1:22 AM ReignOfHell says:

Why don't you work for Newgrounds? Because then you can get paid to be funny... And make sweet love to Cherry Cola.

When you will make blockhead 12?

Jun. 14, 2009 | 9:12 PM jakenator85 says:

I'm surprised you're not ranked artist number 2 in rank. I'm serious, I personally think that you're better than egoraptor! I'm surprised he even got that high anyway.

Jun. 15, 2009 | 12:45 PM M-Y says:

Mastermind 5 eh? Sounds good, I'll wait for it until it arrives at the portal.

Hammer time!

Jun. 19, 2009 | 6:14 PM Flashcard-Man says:

Great Work on Mastermind 4, you are a true mastermind at animation. Right now, I've been trying to get an opinion on my art, but no one has checked. I really look up to you and would love it if you would check my art page.
Long Live the Swain!

Jun. 19, 2009 | 9:50 PM LordAtomaton says:
