Tale Foundry

Coming... in a bit, actually!

We're taking a little time to rest this season, so the last video of the year is going to be Tale Foundry's first ever seasonal winter video!

It'll be out on Nebula December 14th, and on Youtube the following week! We'll do a watch part with you all when it releases on Nebula, so even if you aren't subscribed there, you'll still be able to tune in and see it an entire week early!

I will never not ask this—what would you guess this one's gonna be about??

Keychains Shipped!

The keychains for everyone who signed up to the $10 tier between October 7th and November 16th will officially be receiving their keychain soon!

If you're in the US, expect it within the next 7 business days!

If you're outside, due to the sluggishness of international shipping resulting from covid, you can expect to receive yours in 4-8 weeks!

Thanks so much to all of you. I can't wait to see the pictures of all these little taleoids in their new home!

FIRST LOOK AT OUR NEXT VID!

I just finished the art for the thumbnail. I'm so stoked. This is a really strange video, very different from a lot of subjects we've covered in the past. It's actually super personal for me as well. I hope you get as much from watching it as I did from writing it!

For now, enjoy some spooky book art, and feel free to take your guess at what the video's gonna be about!

A big beautiful wall of PSEUDONYMS!

And some real names too, but there's a lot of pseudonyms in here

We've officially updated the scrolling background text of our videos, so if you're a $10+ patron, watch out for it! This image will give you a good idea of where to look to find yourself in our next vidya

Thanks for all the support <3

Very special video coming out soon, guarantee you can't guess what it's about!

But you're more than welcome to try

Fabulous art by Abbie, as always

AND THEN SUDDENLY—

The last few months have been really incredible. We would never have gotten here without all your patience and support while we navigated the icy waters of experimentation. We love you all so much. <3

Keychain Update!

Heyo all you shiny, beautiful creatures,

Just a quick update for anyone who signed up at the $10 tier this month and unlocked a free keychain reward—your rewards are all being logged and will be shipped around the 5th or November, which means you can expect them sometime during that month!

Thanks again for all your love and support! When you get your keychain, definitely be sure to tell us about where its gonna take up residence, whether it's your backpack, your rear-view mirror...

Random Joyful Tidbit

Abbie was sketching out some stuff for a video and came out with this lovely thing. We're not doing anything official with it, so instead of letting it collect dust, I thought we'd share!

A little warmth from the Foundry on a chilly autumn day <3

Only a smidgeon of spook, but mostly cute

Little teaser for y'all, this is a graphic Abbie made for one of our two halloween-ish videos we'll be releasing this year. Definitely the softer of the two, but she's bringing the appropriate vibrations with the ooky-spooky house here.

Any guesses what the video will be about?

(If you already know, lovingly hush your dang mouth, I want to see what people guess)

You are God, According to Edgar Allan Poe

NEW VIDEO!

As you're about to see, this one has a slightly different vibe than our others. We're doing a little experimentation, testing out a bit of a return to form. The taleoids are back, and we have our new artist Abbie to thank for it!

Let me know what you think of their triumphant return!

Sneak Peek: The Taleoid Nebula

Any guesses as to what's going on in this AMAZING sketch by our new resident cartoonist? 

TALEOID STORYBOARDS!

I need to calm down a little, but I'm sorry, this is very exciting for me.

We have actual storyboards for the taleoid animations in our upcoming video! Not only that, but if you read the subtext here, that also means there will be taleoids in the upcoming video! And every video thereafter!

We said goodbye to them for a while during a long period of experimentation, but the show just wasn't the same without them. So, with the help of our new cartoonist, Ab...
