I'll be one of the guests on the livestream talking about the video. If you want to stop in for that, the casts usually last an hour. It starts at 3:00 pm Eastern, Oct 31st, on the 2021-10-26 14:59:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Literal Shooting Stars (can we pretend)

This is probably the dumbest thing I've animated (lately...). It was fun.

I'm still developing an art style for these silly skit animations. I like the rougher outlines since it gives texture to the animation even when the characters aren't shaded.

Centaurworld [Scribble Kibble]

Way too much production value here. This episode took 33 hours. I started tracking so I can figure out how to make Scribble Kibbles less expensive.

Upcoming Animations

It took me a few years to notice that every May-July is stupidly busy! I have so many in-progress projects that none of them are finished, so here's a quick list:

As a Patreon you'll be able to watch the recording after the stream if you miss it. I'm making a set of line art for attendees to use as well. For those who can't make the live event, the l...

Best Animation Export Settings Tutorial [Scribble Kibble]

If you make and publish videos online I recommend this tutorial.

This is a lot of technical information that might turn your brain to soup if you've never heard the word "codec" until now. I kept the explanation as simple as I could because this information is so important for animators, but no one ever talks about it.

Congratulations Sailor

You made it to Friday!

I'm really happy making short colored animations like this. I spent some time turning the art into shirts and stickers. I wish Redbubble had a secret coupon feature so I could give discounts to Patreons, but their platform doesn't let me do that. Bah.

Among Us CIGGI (flashing lights warning)

FULL ANIMATION: https://youtu.be/1hMT2wlwX0Y 

Quick music video for DJ CIGGI. He wanted his face on the character to create a funny/weird effect, and it worked!

I'll probably expand this dance for something on my own channel with the plain Among Us characters.

How to Animate Castlevania

Sometimes I forget how long these tutorials take to make! Lots of tedious editing, heh. Anyway once I get a watermark figured out this will go up on YouTube - hopefully for Saturday.

Castlevania Style Duke

I have no idea how the animators on the show get anything done. This took forever, around 25 hours. I'm making a tutorial to go with it.

Low resolution GIF - the final is 4K and it better look spectacular or I'll scream.

Fall 2020 Update

In progress: Castlevania animation + style tutorial, funny zombie animation (we have an amazing cover song recorded already), still have to finish the "is this a furry" animation from last year.

Scribble Kibble Plans: mini series of inspirational videos to get artists through tough art-related stresses. I'll release those here first. I'm working on pins, charms, buttons, and a plush toy. Regular merch is already on 2020-09-23 21:32:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Tablet Review I Should’ve Done - Wacom Cintiq

It feels awkward adding Patreon credits to videos like this because I don't want it to seem like you're endorsing Wacom, heh. Thank you so much for the support! There will be an actual animation this month with Patreon credits.

This was a video I wanted to do before the whole tablet debacle. I finally got around to it, so rather than making a true review it's more a slightly-humorous rant about Cintiq ownership (and tablet ownership in general).

Xaldin Intro Process

How I approach a complex commission like this. Sometimes I'm involved in planning the intro itself, but in this case Xaldin had a specific outline for what was going to happen.

1. Get a solid description of what the buyer wants. Ask questions to clear up any uncertainties.
2. Calculate a price
3. Send contract, get a signature, collect payment
4. Thumbnails (optional, done here to make sure the right characters are in use)
5. Storyboard
6. Backgrounds
