Hello! My name is Aaron Cowdery (aka Chakra-X from Newgrounds) and I currently work in the animation industry in New York City. I specialize in character animation, storyboarding and visual effects.
I am also the author of the "Sonic: Nazo Unleashed" trilogy but am looking forward to making more original, non-Sonic related art going forward!

Sonic - The Wrath of Nazo- Act 1 (Animatic+Animation)
It begins!!!!
The first of 3 Acts of what I was able to complete for Sonic: the Wrath of Nazo. I know for many of you this may barely count as a consolation prize after canceling my original intent for the film's scope, but I truly was excited to pull this story off and want to share what I was able to accomplish.
Acts 2 and 3 are being mixed with new lines and audio currently. I really only got to work on Act 1 while I was between projects this past summer, so I am hoping to find time to get Act 2 and 3 out the door (with minimal unemployment, I hope)
I want to thank everyone, especially my Patrons, who supported me through this. I've read so many understanding, empathetic responses, as well as (understandably) frustrated, but good faith feedback responses. My Patrons specifically made affording this project (software, hardware repairs/upgrades, voice actors, freelancers, etc) much more feasible, and I will always be grateful for that despite slowly finding it harder to not just provide Nazo content to them, but also personal work and such for those interested in my projects outside/beyond Nazo.
And for those curious, YES you may use footage and audio for your own creations if you want to re-animate or re-dub Act 1. I'd appreciate you crediting the voice actors, musicians who created original tracks, and myself, but that's about it! Go for it!!
Acts 2 and 3 will take a lil more time and I don't have an estimate, but I sure would love to have them out in 2024.
Once again, thank you all

Sonic Nazo Unleashed (2022 Edit)

Originally created on Newgrounds in 2006! Hey all, as of the time of me uploading this, Sonic: Nazo Unleashed DX has been marked "Made for Kids" and has disabled comments and generally sliced engagement down to a fraction, so I have reuploaded the film with a disclaimer that hopefully helps address this (I also made some small tweaks to the Hyper scenes 👀) Hope you enjoy this lil ol sonic carto...
Wrath of Nazo Canceled, 40+ min Animatic Release, Nazo Unleashed Marked "Made for Kids"
Переглядів 222 тис.Рік тому
Hey everyone, this probably isn't a surprise for most of you, but the Wrath of Nazo project has to be cancelled. The turnaround time at this rate for the animation, special effects, editing, etc. just would not have this film out in a time that I would be happy with. At this point in my career, I can't be working on Sonic fanfics all on my downtime and at this rate it wouldn't be done for years...

When my Knuckles voice actor, Mickwhitefire28, records, he likes to send joke takes sprinkled between lines, going as far as to make Knuckles break in to song, so let me share it with you in all it's glory. Happy April 1st! (Act 1 slowly in progress, reminder nothing is coming out in 2019)

To this day I don't know what Nazo is
1:22 to the actual movie
Omae wa mou shindeiru moment right there! 31:03
Can you contact saga and tell them to make Nazo the Hedgehog canon
Bro made me a kid again
si tenes que estar 10 años mas hazlo, solo dejenlo cocinar!
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 no way I can I weights for the f
I’m nutty
This still look like a master piece even if it was 16 years ago
God, I remember how much I loved this animation as a kid. To the point where I literally remember remaking Nazo out of literal play dough xD Thanks for all the nostalgia you gave me
I was kid when I first watched you. I’m 21 now and I finally got some closure brother. This made my year, thank you chakra🖤⚡️
3:50 that's what she said
I am hear years later once again to say "This needs to be a full series"
Ah so it can fit in your pocket what pocket? Excuse me what
Can u stop ad kid like that but sonic no kids in 'sonic : nazo unleashed'
8 years for 5 minutes of fully animated scenes.
Animation is expensive and difficult plus he was doing it for free
You should keep going, Sonic: The Wrath of Nazo Act 2
This Pearl of Internet need a Remaster? Of course, it would be incredible to rewatch this animation with the same artistic quality that Wrath of Nazo promised. But in every other aspect this work of art remains timeless!
I have a one question about Nazo's transformation.That new transformation is very strong then old one?
you told it was canceled
I see why Chris is obsessed with Jeff's lips.
Incroyable 😱😱😱👀
Writing has aged well! Tails has a mic now 😎
I really hope this project gets more support especially since we live in the time where indie animation is more popular than ever. Best of luck, I doubt something this amazing will be left behind I just know it.
I feel bad this didn't come out, but I feel worse for all the patreon members who *paid* for *nothing*. This could've been earth shattering. But UA-cam has been known to not be kind to animators. Still, its such a shame considering SNU is one of my favourite videos of all time and got me into sonic and Dragon ball. Thank you Chakra-x.
Patron members paid for this? Wow I feel bad for them now.
It's kinda awesome that this animation made in 2006, by a sixteen year old has animation that's extremely impressive for someone that she, and that still holds up relatively well to this day. I mean the Light Speed attack scene is extremely clean.
28:48 Spirit Bomb moment
I understand things happen, but this is the biggest bate of all time
Mario: Hi Everybody Sonic: Show Off
After enjoying the new 'Return Of Nazo', I came to see 'Wrath Of Nazo' made by Chakra-X this time!!! The story of Nazo is really interesting!
Loved that little reference at 9:09 as im sure many fans did. Edit: bro there are so many references placed in here. Very nice.
“Yoosh” I fucking love this
Do a nazo unleashed dx with just sonic frontiers music.
Sonic win
I'm found to newgrounds but is newgrounds api ads but is but
I want the full episode 1
What is the song that plays during the intro?
Amazing
Such a tragedy the full animation was cancelled. The animation we did get was amazing. Hope Chakra releases part 2 and 3 at some point. Really want to see where the story goes.
Esto es cine
You know that you made the reference of Cell and Broly, I made Nazo in his normal form vs Sonic normal phase since I felt very quickly the transformation of super Sonic vs Nazo full power, I made reference To the beginning of Frieza where Goku is in his normal base and Frieza in his last transformation. After that, since it is a warm-up, I now put in the transformations of full nazo vs Sonic.
7:59 chaos nazo transformation. Nazo screams in pain.
Does anyone know how the rest of the story goes? I wanna make a comic out of this
Bro, The Wrath of Nazo Act2
22:40 this is the best part
I made a box art for this fan film
Even though it's incomplete, thank you for making this
