aww I missed couple of days 😔

But actually I'll be taking a break for next week, there's gonna be a bunch of things approaching and i gotta focus on other projects that have been kinda dragging behind  (also maybe edit all the time-lapses i've been leaving behind so I can free up the disk space)

Meanwhile, y'all got a bit extra time to come up with more prompts  c:

Pausing monthly billings until the realease of Griffin Village Animation


Hope y'all are doing well!

First of all I wanna thank you all for your support, I'm ecstatic to have people trust me with their money just so I can dedicate more time and effort towards my craft, and specially during these COVID19 months, I was expecting a big hit on the withdraws, but surprisingly there was LITTLE TO NO change! (I actually gained a few new patrons since the beginning of year). So thank you all for keeping you...

Pausing billing cycle for a month

Just to justify my August summer time off

It'll return in October, so this September won't be charged


I really appreciate and respect y'all for trusting in me to peruse my own projects and animation. It wouldn't feel right on my consciousness to charge for a month where I actively decided to take a break

Hope you all had great Summer vacations :D

Lookin' forward to finish the damn Griffin Village animation lmao

Discord server!

I don't know why I haven't done this before, Its a quicker and a more convenient way of getting in contact with me than email/messages

I have updated the tiers so they come with automatic roles (please check it out to see if it works? ah dunno how patreon handles that)

but here's the link to my server, its pretty chill and friendly

Background crowd characters for Griffin Village animation

Hello! Its been a while

I'm super busy working to finish this animation for Bronycon, so while I'm taking care of other aspects, I'll leave this here for you guys to participate.


In the image you can see a rough estimation of scenes containing unique crowd appearances

If you want your OC (or anyone else) to appear in some scenes, post your suggestions and I'll look into it

Griffin Village animation - General announcment and progress

Hello there!

I'm working hard on my next big animation, sorry for radio silence, but I didn't want to spoil too much without having some essential groundwork laid down first.

As some of you might've known, Griffin Village has been sort of my "magnum opus" that I've been passively developing in the background in past years.

It basically started off, in late 2015 when I noticed that one of my most favorite JackleApp's song Griffin Village - Summer, had no animation dedicated t...

Stream week! (Sketch requests for patrons only)

Hello my dear patrons, my exams for uni just have ended, Hurray!

This week (until this Sunday 10th Feb) I'm going to be relatively free, so I thought about doing daily streams where I'd do some sketches for you guys (also to compensate a bit for lack of animated content past month)

Sketches are optional of course, and they will not overwrite the default rewards as part of the tier


Important notes:

  • Streams will begin everyday around 22h...

Hello new patrons!

First of all, this is kinda insane I was never expecting such a warm reception 😃

The animation was received extremely well, and prospects of me following my own path are actually feeling quite realistic. This patreon thing really changed my route of what will follow and it'll consist in more further development and innovation of 2D animation c:

So, hello new patrons! Thank you for joining me, and a very firm and friendly handshake to those who already were here, I'll do my absolute be...

The forest - Mane progress update

Another weekly update

Luckily I managed to fix my biggest problem which was Celestia's mane animation, and quite frankly it looks exactly how I wanted :3

don't get me wrong, I still hate her mane, its a metric ton of work. But at least I'm not beating my head against the wall trying to make it work anymore


this update will be short, I'm working full time to get this done soon :)

The forest - another progress update



So I must say, I'm quite happy with the results, it took 15 days but I can say that its roughly at 80% completion

all backgrounds are almost finished, all frames are painted

now all I need to do is to add celestia's mane (ughhhhhghhhg) and do a couple of full revisions to iron out any errors and apply final touches

and since I have a lot of versions saved as I was wor...

The forest color keys (progress update)

Things are going well, I did some color keys study to plan out the feel and progressions of colors and moods in animation

now Its time to paint all the assets to the point where every frame looks like these :3

Small personal update (and new Patreon tier)

Hello there! I'll talk about current state of my patreon, some stuff about me, current animation I'm working on and new tier I added


So, my patreon is hitting the 3 months anniversary and I must confess, I wasn't expecting that it would survive this long. Its really awesome to know that you guys keep on supporting me and my work ;u; 

That being said, I have a couple of good news!  I had re-organized my time and now I plan to dedicate myself more towards stuff I enjoy...

View Post

The forest - progress update

Good news is that the entire animatic is cleaned and finished

the bad news is that, this is the most complex and ambitious one I ever done so far (using Blender 3D to animate it instead of Photoshop)


Next update will probably be when its actually finished, wish me luck :^)

Thank you my first patrons!

:D I wasn't expecting to get such early support without any big advertising

that's really special to know that there are people willing to support me <3


I shall think about more perks and tiers for my patrons a bit down the line

here are some ideas about what I have in thought:
