FREE APPLE (Concept Art)

next up on the schedule is FREE APPLE... I've had the audio ready for this months now and I'm so excited to finally begin work on it 😭😭😭

it's a point-n'-click adventure game homage about this NOBLE KING and his OWL SIDE-KICK chatting with this incredibly normal, and trustworthy, OLD SHOP-KEEP

featuring VERY special guest voice acting from HOOPS HIMSELF... THE J MAN...

JUSTIN MCELROY!!! 🎊🎊

cup

the compilation there's a joke where you hear weird al playing on the radio but I didn't wanna use a real weird al song so I made this Fake One

it only plays for like 2 seconds but I couldn't resist making it a little longer lol

DOWN

here's the full version of DOWN which will appear on the BTB soundtrack which will come out after the compilation episode! : O

THE CREW

here's some early BIGTOP BURGER concept art!!

GREASEPAINT CREDITS

HEY EVERYONE!! Long time no see! The final episode of Bigtop Burger season one comes out today, and I wanted to remind people that the credits are still FROZEN from episode one. There have been 100s of new patrons since the series started and I simply can't fit them in a reasonable way--BUT everyone will be included (with the names you requested!!) in the BIG COMPILATION EPISODE!

The compilation episode will be every BTB episode back-to-back with little extra bits added and a much bigge...

SOME PROGRESS

I'm still in a slump so this last one is taking FOREVER... I just got a bike though and I'm hoping the exercise will imbue me with extra energy  😬😬😭

I've finished all the more challenging shots though, so hopefully things will move quicker in general

FUN FACT

I was at one point considering having BIGTOP BURGER use shading like this!!

it's pretty easy to add since the characters are 3D

but I found it a little too dramatic and that it was taking away from the humor of it!!

STILL... maybe in the future I'll use this technique...

STOVE (making-of)

tried to edit this as best I could, I was a little all over the place LOL

if anyone has any specific questions about this process let me know and I'll try to answer them in the making-of for ELK when I eventually do that!

Behind-The-Scenes, MAYBE...

I've been in a huge slump trying to finish this final episode of BIGTOP and I'm not sure when I'm gonna have it done, so as a fun side thing to put up here I'm thinking of doing a behind-the-scenes video!!

either about STOVE, or possibly Jason & Friends?

I imagine there's more interest in BTB at this point, but I'll still do Jason & Friends later regardless!!

BIGTOP BURGER: GREASEPAINT (boards)

SPOILER WARNING: this final episode contains some light spoilers for some lore stuff, so if you'd prefer to wait until it's officially done you should skip these boards!!

otherwise HERE IT IS

ORIGINS...

BIGTOP BURGER was originally a pitch for a kids' show I designed back in 2018 called "Fast Fools"! it's evolved a bunch over the years

it was about a pizza place run by clowns! I didn't have a billie character yet and tim's design was more blatantly tim-curry-pennywise

for anyone curious, I've attached the original pitch bible thing! 😂😂

it includes some character descriptions ...

DOWN (instrumental)

there's a full version of this song with vocals and stuff but I haven't had time to properly record it, maybe after the series is done

BUT here's an extended version of the instrumental that plays in the episode

(COMING TODAY)

CREDITS UPDATE

HEY so I've had a couple people asking now, so I figured I'd just make it a post.

The BIGTOP BURGER credits are frozen at what the list looked like while I was making episode 1!! Since then I've gotten literally hundreds of new patrons (THANK YOU SO MUCH BY THE WAY!) and the fact is I'd have to completely redo the design/presentation of the credits to fit that many names in.

I will be listing ALL the names properly when I release the BIGTOP BURGER compilation episode either in lat...

ZOMBURGER: CESARE

I've been holding off announcing this until episode 3 came out!!! so the next episode is a BIG ONE

it features a bunch of guest voices as a whole separate cast of characters, bigtop burger's Rival Foodtruck , ZOMBURGER

this is their manager/driver CESARE voiced by......... the INIMITABLE.... CHRIS FLEMING!!!!
