Wip- It continues..
This damn thing. As per usual i bite off more than I can chew. Its coming out very very well, but is a little more intense than the last one. It'll be done in a little and then I will move onto the next spearcavern episode.

Behold! A glimpse into my horrifying animation process.
I know there are many good/useful utilities out there for making pixel animations- Aseprite chief amongst them, but I am a stubborn, stubborn dwarf.
Into Wip2
Only managed to finish 3.5 seconds yesterday which does feel horrible. Lots of moving parts in that segment I suppose. I'm sure it'll be fiiiiiiiine thoooough.

Poke, poke
Managed to get 8 seconds done yesterday. hoping for another 8 today!
New Spearcavern Intro song by Ivan Duch
Ok, starting in on a new intro animation this morning. At this particular junction I have no ideas, but like usual i'm going to bull my way in regardless. I'm sure it'll work out fiiiiine.
This new song was done by Ivan Duch who created he music you hear during the episodes as well as the Spearcavern theme you hear during the episodes. Ivan Duch was not the one who made the original intro song though, that was by "Beatscribe", someone i've worked with in the past a couple times. Alwa...
Wip- Working on Achra once again
Been working on this thing for a bit over a week once more and it is slow going. It probably would serve me well to *plan* a little better before taking on projects.
As it stands, i'm probably going to taking these intermittent Achra work periods after doing a couple DF episodes. At this rate it'll proooobably take the rest of the year to finish this thing, but i'm having fun with it and I do believe it'll be worth the effort. Here's hoping!
Actually, next week i'm gonna...
Spearcavern 11 Gallery
I don't know what hit me with this last episode but I did a lot more complex drawings than usual. I think it's partly due to the fear that I should realistically have ended the series at episode 10 and now feel more pressure to let watchers know this fort still has a bunch of life to it- because it does!
It's rare to get a narrative arc of any sort with dwarf Fortress. I feel like the death of Tinny sorta brought the fort full circle in a way. The dwarves have learned how to de...
Spearcavern 11: Welcome to The Cobalt Room!
8 years have passed since Spearcavern's terrible loss. How will they continue on in their small dwarven citadel?
Perhaps some new visitors to the fort's tavern could offer a hand??

Thanks as always, you good bearded bastards. Couldn't do a single thing without your help.
Wip- A New..Face?
I am really loving a lot about this next episode. Feeling reinvigorated!

Spearcavern Gallery #10
Ended up hitting the 30 minute mark of this episode's body (before the behind-the-scenes part) and realized I couldn't just leave the thing where it was, so I just kept on recording and THEN had to do pics for it all. Thats what the delay was all about.
I really liked doing the new outfits for out dwarves. Kinda shows a bit of change with everyone, which I guess you'd have to expect after so many years and having to deal with a tragedy like that.
Some things I hadn...
Spearcavern 10: Lost Sweetpods (Youtube upload)
The dwarves of Spearcavern are on the hunt for Lerdi the lazy, cave-dwelling lout who will not leave it's perch.
Though they should not lose sight of the dangers that come with fighting forgotten beasts...

Just the Youtube upload here. Don't continue reading if you want to avoid spoilers.
Will probably have to post some polls later today or early tomorrow regarding how we should proceed with the fort. I did mention taking in some migrants at th...

Weird Project- Beasts of Grottomere
Still trying to polish up this Spearcavern episode..
In the meantime, I figured i'd show this strange side-project I been working on for a bit now. I have no programming skill and no desire to learn, but would like to make a game one day. As a way to allay this desire, I decided to start making a video that looks like a game. I really have no idea what is happening in the "story" of it and have just been animating things that i wonder might happen in this game. Lemme know what y...
Wip- Family of three
Sorry about the lack of update. been feeling pretty funky for a few weeks. Time of the year I guess- still, it's no good excuse and I do apologize. Thank you for your support, as always.
I worked on that Path of Achra video and it is coming along, but at a glacial pace. I don't know what i'm going to do about it, but I figure i'll just keep working on it in shorter intervals.
Next episode of Spearcavern is due on Thursday, but will take a few days more i'm thinking. It h...
Spearcavern #9 Gallery
Realizing I never posted these heh.
I feel like drawing a draltha is an important event in my DF worlds. i don't really know why. Probably has something to do with the rather nebulous nature of their description and habits. For this one I went with a ferret-y body (because teh description calls for a "long body"). I don't really like the horse-looking sprite in the steam version. Kinda loks creepy t ome for some reason heh.
I do really like drawing teh full-page pictures...
Spearcavern 9: The Woes of Webs
The Dwarves of Spearcavern have been running around like lunatics trying to traverse their labyrinthine lair. The time has come to make this place a tad more efficient!
..Though the dwarves should be wary of being too eager for their goals..
------------------------
As always, thank you very much for all your support, you bearded bastards. Sorry for the minor delay on this one- had to do a little extra animation at the beginning (as well as some real life thi...
Grammy & Peanut
My grammy passed away a couple days ago. For some reason our little dog Peanut (who did not like anyone, even me and mrs K) always liked Grammy. I am sure their reunion was very cute.
