Youtube has taken down the video and will not tell me why. They will not even let me appeal the claim. I then tried to re-upload the film and it was instantly flagged for violation of the terms of service mid-process.

Well, it's finally finished. This film was one of the most ambitious things I've ever attempted and I'm really, really chuffed with it.
Even if you've seen the Early Patreon version; I'd still recommend watching this final release. I've tweaked 100 tiny things and refined everything to exactly how I wanted it in the two weeks waiting for release, and with the all-original score by the two chaps at "Controlled Noise", I think it's a far different and better experience! ^_^
I just wanted to thank everyone here. The past 10 days have been phenomenal!
My Patreon support has tripled, I've gone from 280k subs to 450k subs on Youtube and I've had over 10 million views in just 10 days! I've been totally overwhelmed with all of this and I really can't thank you all enough.
Following this craziness, I've started work on a new animated short film already; the promised "Friendly Shadow" short film! The sixth Autodale short film.
I can't say too much yet ...

The making of video is finally up and ready! Should have had it up 4 hours ago but there was an error in the video so I had to re-render/re-upload. It's currently 1am... Sorry guys.
But the response from this short film has been totally overwhelming! Thank you all so much! ^_^
There will be a lot more to come.

The film is finally out there! I only felt like making a handful of sound effects changes and MINOR animation tweaks to the final version so it's virtually the same.
I've spent the past week and a bit working on the making of, which will be uploaded on January 17th! It's a REAL meaty one! ^_^
2020-01-10 07:30:58 +0000 UTC View PostI'm seriously considering doing a video on the Autodale series, alongside the Model Citizen Making of, explaining how the world works, the inner workings of the city and the lore.
That being said; things like the Matriarch's origins are going to remain secretive until I finally make a short film about her. I'm more-so just wanting to explain the things that just don't tend to come up in the average animated short film, but are pretty necessary pieces of general knowledge. Things like ho...

The Teaser Trailer for my next animated short film, "Model Citizen" is finally here!
The short film will be out on Youtube January 10th. I'll be uploading the Early Patreon version of the film just now. Give me a couple minutes.... :P
2019-12-27 22:57:35 +0000 UTC View PostI'm writing to all of you to tell you that I'm going to be making slight changes to the my tiers and benefits. Don't worry though; they're all beneficial to you guys! ^_^
All be rewriting almost my whole page but all the benefits and goals will remain the same, with a few additions.
THE TWO BIG CHANGES:
1.I'll be adding as "Early Access to Animated Short films" benefit to $5 "Tip-Jug" and $20 "Tip-Barrel". I'll be uploading my animated short films here on Patreon at least 1 ...

This announcement video has more information about the three short films I've been working on! ^_^
The first short film; "Model Citizen" really shouldn't take too much longer.

The Terrible Hound's sequel to Merry Madness is finally uploaded. Hope you all enjoy! ^_^
2019-08-17 12:27:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis is just a quick update telling all you guys that the short film will be uploaded very soon. I'm aiming for August 17th.
My usual process is to release a Teaser Trailer two weeks in advance but I honestly forgot and the short is pretty much finished now. Feels like a waste of time releasing a teaser and then sitting on the short for another two weeks.
The short film is currently called "Scary and Strange"! ^_^

This is the third and final part of my Merry Madness making-of saga!
This video very similar to my video covering the design process for the Terrible Hound. This video, however, covers the Great Rat. I really hope you like this one! ^_^

This video covers my creative process designing the Terrible Hound for my Merry Madness animated short film. This covers my initial ideas, my early sketches, colour mock-ups, my finished clay sculpture and culminates in the living, breathing, fully rigged and animated creature featured in the animated short film itself.
Enjoy! ^_^

Making of Neon-Daddy is here with 20 minutes to spare. This is one of my favourite behind-the-scenes videos in a while!
2019-03-16 23:42:43 +0000 UTC View Post
In a neon-drenched nightmare city, one former Cop tries to reconcile with his estranged son. The Cop abandoned his city and abandoned his son after a tragic accident took his wife's life. As he replaced more and more of his humanity with cold steel, the city did the same. Bright rural sunshine has become dark, neon night-sky. With what little humanity he has left, the Cop must plead his son's forgiveness.
Hope you guys like this slice of schlocky cheese! ^_^

This is just a reminder that my new animated short film is coming out tomorrow.
I really just wanted to share this photograph. It's one of the pieces of concept art for the short, with appropriate set-dressing and lighting! ^_^

I have just re-uploaded my most recent short film and deleted the original.
My original edit had sound effects from "The Isle" that were not royalty-free and I did not own. As far as I know, Dondi was fine with the video being up but for the past two weeks, I've still felt like garbage having that video up so I finally got around to re-editing it. Sucks that I lost 230K views but I totally deserved it and now my conscience is clear and that feels great. This re-upload is 100% mine! In f...

I just uploaded my more in-depth sort-of "Sculpture How-to" on Youtube. It's more or less just a sketchbook walk-through of my two latest dinosaur sculptures.

The Sharp Teeth behind the scenes is here.
DO NOT WORRY. I will not be quitting animation any time soon. I wouldn't have started a Patreon if I was! =P I'm more inspired and driven to create shorts than I've been in years and it was because of this short film that I came to that conclusion, and started this Patreon in the first place.
Thank you all so much.
