Random forgotten beast

 Just a pic of a forgotten beast I had done quite a few months back now. I don't have the exact description, but it appears to be a winged "ass" composed of vomit. 

New Youtube banner

 Drew up a new banner for the channel at work today. Figured with the new season just around the corner I should clean things up a little, huh?

 Normally I like to hold this sort of stuff back until it goes live but I figure my beloved patrons should get to see this sort of thing early. 

You guys rock.

Krugg's Grotto Fan art by Dwarfcomic

 Figured you fellas would get a kick out of this piece by Dwarfcomic. I especially enjoyed the look of childlike wonder in little dwarfcomic's eyes.

 Really hope you fellas enjoyed our antics. I got a few helpful criticisms on my various missteps through my animation process and i'm taking them all on board for when (if ever) I try something like this again in the future. 

 Thanks for all your help, guys!

Krugg's Grotto:King of the Hopeless Glacier, Part 1

 Ok! Halfway there and I figured I Wouldn't make you fellas wait any longer for what I have. Part two SHOULD be coming up next week. 

 I really hope you guys like it. Lemme know what you think, eh?

Halloween 2017

 What you don't get to see is the enormous, strap-on clown ass.

 Halloween 2016:

Halloween 2015: 

Still workin' away at the grotto. I've decided that i'm just going to split it into 2 pieces and release the first part tomorrow. You fellas have waited long enough and the r...

Sneekin

 This bit of animation took a piece of me with it.

Bim vs. Liceyi

 A pic I had done a few weeks ago. Figured you guys might get a kick out of it :)

Dwarven inspiration

 This is a copper statue of a frog. On the item is an image of a spool in concrete. The frog is contemplating. The statue relates to the killing of frogs by frogs in the mid-summer of 1758.

 These statues are on a bridge a couple towns over from me and every once in a while I drive by em'. Certainly reminds me of something you'd see in DF.

Onward to the Grotto!

 Yep, i'm bulling my way through. Just gonna really buckle in and push myself to finish up ASAP w/o cutting corners. Sorry to you fellas who wanted more DF (I certainly don't blame you!) But overall, Krugg's Grotto will be just a quick side-note in the channel's history, methinks. After all, when the new update comes out, I'm going to turn my full attention towards my new DF series, which will be crazy!

 Thanks for having my back, fellas- I truly appreciate it.

A crossroads has appeared!

 Alright, it's clear now that I will not have Krugg's Grotto done by this week and honestly I can't be sure it'd even be done by next week either. Starting to feel bad about wasting time that I could be using to do some short forts episodes or something.

 I was planning on putting up a video tomorrow explaining the delay once again, but I figured I'd throw up a poll here just to see what you fellas think first. You are the truest of bearded bastards after all!

 Also, here'...

Some finished frames

Just a selection of finished frames based on yesterdays sketches. 

Truckin' away!

Scheduled sketches.

 On Mondays at work, I do "dog daycare" where I sit outside for a long long time and watch the puppers play (make sure they don't murder each other or choke on sticks) so I have a bunch of time to do drawings for my episodes. I usually have a list of things I have to draw for the DF episodes but for this bloated monster-project it's easier to just do quick doodles. 

 Now, i'll have to draw each of these pics with ballpoint pens, trace each of them a second time (to get a wigglin...

This damn project.

Mistake #1: Drawing every goddamn thing on my precious, precious paper. 

 I use these PARTICULAR sketch pads from "Dollar Generals" around CT and although my minions and I have been scouring the state for em', I've been burning through them like NUTS with this project. 

 In ADDITION tho this, every picture has to be scanned into my computer and then trimmed up to get the particular piece I need for the video. This is a major pain in the ass.

 Starting to ge...

Krugg N' Dom

 Whipped up this quick pic while I was at work today and Mrs. K colored it in typical, beautiful fashion. It's me and my dog, Domino- hes the greatest.

 By the way, it is Mrs. K's B-day today and I know she'd appreciate the your love!

 Anywho, still workin' on this bloated monstrosity of a project and I have NO idea how the hell this thing got so off the rails. It's gonna take some doing, but DAMMIT it's going to be done by next week!

.....I hope.

Sorry about the delay! (again)

 You fellas have been so goddamn understanding- it really is fantastic! I'm gonna keep on truckin' away on this thing until it's done and HOPEFULLY I can keep you updated on the progress! 

 Most of the time i'm spending on this thing is in the animating- It probably would have helped if I went into it with a plan, but here we are! I can already note a few changes i'll be making if I ever do this type of video again }:p

Aaaand here's the rest of Doodlequest!

It's a pain trying to post these dame things every day! Well, here's the rest in case you were wondering!

Doodlequest pg. 4: The Smarmy Sow

 Again, I apologize for the awful handwriting.

Bonus points if you spot the DF reference!

Doodlequest pg. 3: The Royal Armory

 First and foremost, your riddle is to decode my chicken scratch handwriting. It IS awful isn't it?

 Help our heroes find the lost items, will ya?

Scrapped (old) project: Doodlequest

These are the intro pages to a silly story I was working on a few years back. The idea was that every page has a puzzle or a riddle  and you have to solve them to continue. These pages have no puzzles or anything, they're just an intro. 

I'll continue uploading these over the next few days as it was *this* project that inspired the video that I will (hopefully) be finished with ...

Doodlins

 Already at work on next week's video. It is not going to be a Dwarf Fortress vid but it's something I've wanted to do for a bit, now. It should be something!

...If I can cobble it together into a functional final product that is.

Merch Pic: Hero of Balance

Figured he'd look pretty dashing (flabby) on a shirt or something. There's no store up yet so don't get your jimmies in a twist.

Merchandise preferences?

 Hey, so i'm looking into using Redbubble.com as a future merchandising platform and I was wondering if I DID eventually start putting stuff up on there, what items would you fellas want to see and what would you like to see on those items? Any ideas?

Yet another Delersholid scrap

I believe that I was going to use this as a title card for the hero of balance. I think my plan was to take this artifact door (with a dead horse on it) and place it behind the waterfall near delersholid to make a secret entrance and then use that entrance to get into delersholid as the hero of balance. 

Scraps from Delersholid #30

 Weird. I was clearing away a bunch of old garbage and found these sketches in an old notebook. I'm not too sure what I was planning but they never got used. 

 PS: The girl is "Hope" of Delersholid who was also shown briefly in the last episode of the series all grown up. She ended up becoming the militia captain and still is today.

Krugg's pic o' the week

 I was a big fan of this pic in particular. I could just picture Liceyi squirming around the ancient spire like the worm he is.

 There were around 65 and 70 pictures for this episode not including the various animation pieces. (30 is the usual number)

 Jeez, huh?

See you fellas in a lil' bit!

 I'm taking a week off just to unwind and get my life in some state of order. Also, I have to start preparing for the upcoming season! There's a lot to do, really! 

 Thanks so much to ALL of you guys. 

The Final Quest 2 - Ageless Realms

The final Showdown in the..Ageless...Realms.

 Guys, I could never thank you enough for all your help along the way. It's because of your support that i'm even still doing these! 

 I will keep on working for you beautiful bastards as hard as I can because you fellas deserve it! But for now, i'm taking a week off and i'm going to be preparing things, getting ducks in a row, that sort of stuff. I have a lot of work to do to get ready for next season! 

 Thanks ...

Krugg's pic of the week

 My favorite pic of this last episode. I just get a kick out of the PotW's big ol' nose.

 About 34 pics in this last episode. (Not including all the animation bits and pieces.)

The Final Quest 1 - Balancing Act

Today we begin the Final part of the Steelclutches saga. Can The Ageless Realms ever find peace? Or is this a land that will forever exist in a state of war?

Thanks for all your help fellas! THIS episode was PARTICULARLY taxing!

Another Unused pic from Ageless War - 10

 So many artifacts last episode. I'm actually pretty disappointed that THIS one didn't make it in. I spent a good bit of time on it. Oh well!
