***SORRY!*** Didn't mean to abandon those of you who were there. My computer locked up. I wanted to wait a little while to see if it recovered so I wouldn't lose the work I had done (but of course it didn't). I was at about the 5 hour mark and would have been wrapping up soon anyway. Just wanted to say good night and thanks for joining me!

The short version: animation, cleanup, background art, comic dubs, and a convention panel.
To elaborate:
- Rough animation of Ivy's Charleston by Sagan Yee! Dances like this (in which one flaps all about with relative abandon) can be really difficult to time correctly, but Sagan has managed that and has captured Ivy's personality effectively all in one loop.
- We've just on-boarded...

The Lackadaisy shot glass set is up in the Iron Circus Store!
Kickstarter backers have been notified already and they're going pretty fast, so I thought I'd let Patrons know too, before we make a more public announcement.
(I'm not sure if I mentioned before, but people seemed to really like the box, so we made the...

Some of Fable's recent animation work! This bit is about as Rocky as we could make it, with poetry and explosions and a looming, catastrophic industrial accident. Included for fun are some still shots of a few of the expressions in there.

Rocky and Freckle - a couple more of the character page spreads I've been working on for the upcoming Essentials book. (These represent two pages each, left side and right side.)
Still got a few of these left to do, but getting close. All other parts of the book are laid out already.

Hi all,
Apologies for cancelling the last stream (on account of squirrel). I'm streaming tonight to try to make up for that!

Hey all. Fable and I are both streaming this evening. Fable's working on Rocky animation and I'm working on some art book page layouts. We'll alternate screen focus along the way.
Come join us for some arts and chats!

The most recent, tied-down film version of this scene by Nick!
For comparison, you may remember Fable did a rough/proof of concept version of this bit early in production, to sort of set the tone for the animators (the second image). This was before we had character sheets done or props modeled, though. Some additional changes were made for continuity and readability as well.

So we finally have the prototype physically in our possession. We're quite happy with it and will be setting up to take orders soon. I thought I'd give you all a first look at it, though. Cat included for scale (because she crept into about 80% of the shots I took anyway).

***STREAM CANCELLED - WILL RESCHEDULE***
I'm so sorry! I've been seeing a sick squirrel (has a bulging, enlarged eyeball) in my backyard the past few days and I just managed to catch it. I need to run it to the wildlife rehab right away before it closes. I will reschedule the stream ASAP!

Lots of streams this month!...

Fable is doing some traditional animation of a relatively unhinged (well, slightly more than usual) Rocky today!
The stream will likely go on for several hours, so swing by to watch/chat at any point!

Hey all,
Fable's working on a secret part of the animated film today (Tuesday, February 23rd), so we've decided to stream it for Patrons only! Typically these streams run for several hours into the evening - feel free to hop in to hang out, chat, and watch some animation happen at any point!

Recent rough animation from the Lackacrew. If you've been joining Fable''s all-day streams lately (on Twitch or YouTube), you may recognize the last two scenes as ones they worked on live.
We're pretty far along with rough animation at this point, so clean-up should be kicking in full force soon. I'm looking forward to having more fully colore...

Hey everyone,
I'll be streaming for Patrons only on Sunday, January 31st, starting at 5pm CST (6pm EST) at my Twitch Channel.
I'll likely be working on the book, some Patron art and possibly a short comic. Bring questions if you have them!
As always, I hope I'll see you there!

A little mini-episode of How It's Made.
For Patron eyes only, this is a *preliminary* version of the crate designed to contain the Lackadaisy shotglass set, and a glimpse at the process behind making it, via Fandomoid.
This is a first prototype after the blueprints and graphic design were submitted. The box will eventually have some additional details to make it look more like a miniature crate, and a lighter color stain than this. (We actually were working with a different m...

A lot of the upcoming artbook is comprised of the mini-comics collection, but I also wanted to include a special section for the characters. Each of the main cast will have a spread of pages like this, explaining the rationale behind their designs, their context within history, and some of their backstory. It's been pretty grueling working up these layouts, heh, but grueling is how I roll, I guess?
Anyway, I do think it's been worth the effort, and wanted to give you all a first look at ho...

Our approach to development on the film has been pretty open-book - it's a pleasure to be able to share with interested parties what we're up to. There are significant segments of the film we're deliberately not sharing so as not to spoil the whole thing ahead of release, though.
This is from the midst of one of those heretofore secret segments. Although it doesn't r...
