Woooo.... This was a long one, but it has finally arrived. It's been a while since a new Gnome Quest episode, I hope you guys like it! And for you early birds who snagged those background character spots, I got a bunch featured in this episode!
Thank you so much everyone for your support, I quite literally could not have done this without you.
Definitely going to do something more simple for my next project, can't wait to show you all the next thing I've got cooking up!

Managed to get through some more of your beautiful characters today. Lots of fun designs. I think I'm all caught up now, but if you're in the fanatic tier and haven't sent me a character or I missed you, shoot me a message!
Hope you enjoy!

Hello hello, got some more characters fresh out of the oven... A nice assortment of goofballs and edgelords. Some of these were in the credits of the last video but weren't posted, the rest are brand new.
I still got to get around to a few more of you, so if you're not here don't worry I haven't forgotten! Just juggling a lot with my other projects.
And as usual if you're in the fanatic tier and still haven't sent me character details, please do so you can get your own cool little...

It's been a while so I thought I'd check in with a fun little teaser. I just finished the animatic for episode 3 of Gnome Quest, which basically means the rough drawings/timing/music and sound.
This tends to be about the halfway mark for my work... This one took quite a while but I'm really happy with it and I'm excited to start animating on it soon!
For those of you who haven't seen the other episodes, Gnome Quest is the series that I started my Youtube channel with, so it's spec...

New Video! I worked harder in the last few days than any mortal should to get it done, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Please if you enjoy it share it around, I'm really proud of this one!
Also there's now merch! Check it out and maybe grab something you like as another way to support the channel. I designed a shirt with the barbarian that I think looks rad!:

Youtube sent this shiny plaque in the mail, so cool! I gotta give thanks to you all, your support has kept me motivated to keep at it and achieve this huge milestone.
Also a little teaser for the next short! I'm having a ton of fun with this one, hoping it'll be out by the end of the week.
Stay tuned friends!

Just caught up on all the characters for you fanatics. A couple of these already made it in to the last video's credits, but most of em are fresh out of the oven.
Let me know if I missed you, and if you're in the fanatic tier send me character details if you haven't already so I can put you in the credits!
Hope you all like them!
In other news I'm deep in to the next video now, can't wait to show it to you all! I might drop a little teaser image in the coming days, cause it'...

WELL WELL WELL... We got a new one gang! I went a little crazy with this one... Hope you like it! I sure had a lot of fun making it!
Oh and we got our first batch of background characters for those of you who snagged those limited spots. If yours wasn't there don't worry, I'm trying to put them in the shorts that make most sense for the characters.
But now... on to the next one! (featuring the return of a beloved very wide-set, axe wielding character)

Here's another batch of characters for you lovely fanatics! We got some interesting ones this time around, but I did my best to capture your strange creations!
And guess what!? I'm planning on releasing another video tomorrow if all goes smoothly, so look out for that! This next one is gonna be extra silly though... I kinda got a little lost in the sauce.
Anyway, hope you like the new characters... I believe I'm caught up now, so all of these are gonna be in the credits of the upc...

Well here they are, I've gotten through most of the characters that were sent by you guys! Hope you all like them! These and any others sent to me before the next video is out will appear the end credits (Let me know if I missed yours... There are also still quite a few "Soup Fanatics" who haven't sent details... Please send them soon!)
Also I have an update for that Patron tier... I didn't expect so many of you to sign up! Which is awesome, but it also means I have a ton of characters ...

Thought it would be fun to show some of the sketches I went through while trying to design the Wizard King in my latest short.
This one design gave me way more trouble than usual, took basically an entire day trying to figure out his look.
Lots of funny faces were conjured up, but I think I'm happy with the final design.
Speaking of designs... A ton of you signed up for the new Patreon tier, so I have a lot more character designs to do over the coming days!

Hello you lovely Patrons! I've added a new Patreon tier, and I think it's a lot of fun!
For those of you who wish to give a little extra support, now you can get a custom fantasy character in the style of my animations that'll appear in the end credits of each video!
After the Patron name credits, there'll be a short screen with all of the characters of the Patrons in this tier. I used my Joel Haver design as an example of what one of these characters might look like.

New video day! It's been a very exciting and hectic last week or so. This one was actually supposed to drop about a week ago, but I ended up getting a pretty bad cold I'm only just starting to recover from.
And while I was sick and delirious, a couple of my YT shorts wound up in the algorithm! The channel kind of exploded, we went from around 4k subscribers to over 38k at the time of posting!
I'm so happy that more people are watching, and a bunch of you signed up to the Patreon t...

It's that time yet again! This one is a beautiful love story between two besties... Oh and I managed to convince my wife to voice one of the characters!
Hope you like it!
I was planning on getting this one out last week but I've been pretty busy. I've been doing some freelance animation on a project for the Youtube channel Flashgitz. Trying to pivot from working at animation studios to working with other Youtubers.
That said, gonna be starting on the next one within a couple...

Happy Halloween everyone! As a little treat here are some designs from the last couple shorts.
Got some fun ones in there, but I think I'm happy with the ones I settled with.
I'm really excited for the next short by the way, I just started working on it today and I can't wait to show it to you all when it's done!
In the mean time, hope you all have a wonderful Halloween.

It's that time again, except this time things get a little spooky! Well maybe more silly than spooky. I can't help myself.
It was a big crunch to get this out in time, but I hope you all like it!
Thank you :)

Here it is! This one is about a Tiny Man facing a big problem. And the Tiny Man is voiced by the one and only Joel Haver! If you know who that is, you probably know how excited I am about this. If you don't, go check him out on Youtube. He's amazing!
I'm gonna post some fun behind-the-scenes stuff for this short in the next couple days, but in the mean time I'm already working away on the next one... I'm trying to get out a Halloween special for the end of next week! It's gonna be a cru...

Hello everyone!!! First of all, lets give a big warm welcome to all the new faces, thank you so much for your support! You're all awesome!
Here's a teaser image from my next short, that I'm currently in the midst of animating. I have all of the storyboarding/voice acting finished, which is half the work, now I just gotta animate the dang thing! Should be done in about a week or so...
But on to the big news.

Another one complete, woo! Hope you end up appreciating my increasingly dark sense of humour...
These newer style of videos I've been doing are much easier to make, and I've actually been able to release one monthly while working full-time!
Hopefully things will start to grow a little faster soon enough... Until then at least I still have my precious early supporters...
Thanks again for your support!

Back with another short, and this one is topical! Things are heating up in one boy's bedroom as he plays his new favourite RPG.
Thanks again for your support! I know that I've been going in a bit of a different direction lately but I hope you still enjoy the content.
Oh... And I have another short coming in about 2 weeks, I'm really excited for that one!

Huh? A new vid so soon?
Yup! I've decided to try taking the channel in a new direction for a bit. I have a bunch of scripts for some comedic, fantasy themed shorts that I think are pretty fun.
This style is easier to make than the Gnome Quest series, so I'm planning to release a few of these in the coming months to hopefully grow the channel a little bit before moving back to Gnome Quest.
If you've been following Gnome Quest, don't worry! I plan to go back to it eventually. ...

Hey gang! Just checking in for the final Episode 2 update! It's been a long journey, but I'm done about 75% of the animation, and I'm expecting to be completely done within the next couple weeks!
I'm probably putting far too much effort in to what is amounting to a 3 minute 10 second Youtube video, but I'm too lost in the sauce to quit now!
In the mean time, enjoy a Nic the Caged naruto run gif.
Thanks again for your support, see you soon!

Hey guys, it's update time!
I haven't had much time to work on the Youtube stuff since I've been busy with work, but I've been getting a little bit of free time lately and managed to finally make some progress.
I just finished the animatic today, which basically means I have everything roughed out/voice acted and I'm ready to move on to doing the finished backgrounds and animation.
Here's a small in-progress teaser from the episode I've been working on, I'm really excited to...

Hey gang! It's been a while so I wanted to give you all some updates on how things are currently going.
Some big news is that I recently got a new job at an animation studio. I'm working on the second season of Clone High (a 20 year old show that is finally being revived). Hooray!
The downside of this however is that progress has slowed down on my Youtube projects, but I'm still working away!
Currently I'm done the storyboards and voice acting for Episode 2 of Gnome Quest! A...

I'm going to be launching a Dungeon Soup discord server publicly whenever Youtube gives the channel access to community posts (should be soon).
In the mean time, why not give you all early access? Consider this the Discord Server beta test.
The server will primarily be used to make announcements on upcoming content, but of course it'll also be a place for fans to ta...

Full rotations and everything. As you can see the colour palettes for the main cast changed quite a bit from here until the finished product.

For all of the 5 or so people who will see this, I thought I may as well have some upcoming benefits for anyone who actually chooses to support me in this crazy venture.
I'll be doing a Patreon only Q&A if this actually gains any traction, which I'll post here or maybe even do a video if there is enough support.
Going forward I'll be posting behind the scenes stuff of how I made the first episode, as well as some sneak peaks about future ideas.
That's all for ...
