[edit] 2005
Toniko's debut flash animation to the Newgrounds community was "TBL Intro/Preview". This was an idea for a series idea about to be worked further on; as of now, there have been no exclusive ubdates to the concept. Tike's Bizarre Life consists of three main characters, a happy go lucky character Tike, a goofy nerd Lloyd and a girl named Jessie who has a passion for fighting. In Newgrounds, the flash file resides at a 3.6 out of 5.
[edit] 2006
For a few months, Toniko has been developing animation ideas, but many has been dropped. "One Wing Rush" is a tribute to Valentines Day, and Toniko considers it one of his current earlier success. It sits at the score 3.99 out of 5 in Newgrounds, and won itself a Daily Feature. During the year, he has become more serious into developing his skills into the world of directing, drawing, writing and animating.
[edit] 2007
2007 was a dramatic year for Toniko, switching to an Indian international school, adapting to the new educational system and lifestyle. By this year, he has released a short flash animation "On Your Mark pt.1", which for now Toniko claims it his best work yet. The cartoon is a stereotype of old cartoons lasting from the 40's to the 90's, consisting of the iconic rabbit and turtle, a kangaroo with boxing gloves, a lion with a crown, and more. It's highest score in Newgrounds was a 4.37 out of 5, but has lowered and stayed to a 4.06 out of five. It has gotten the Daily Feature and the Weekly User's Choice award. His primary goal for the animation was to achieve limit breaking visuals and story telling. The animation has gotten many mixed reviews, while ninety percent of the current reviews are positive. According to Toniko, it is meant to one whole animation, but was cut due to filesize concerns. Toniko is currently animating the second portion of the cartoon.
[edit] Current Projects
Toniko has teamed up with a friend of his, Allan Parker to produce a short living animation series. The whole aspect is still into pre-production, and nothing yet has been revealed about the film. He has also worked as a Concept Artist for the command and conquer 3 mod, Tiberian Dawn.
