Sorry for inactivity!!

Here's some thumbs from a short I wanted to work on after the Frasier one!!

I got a little swamped with freelance and will probably shelve this for a bit BUT FEAR NOT... I shall return after I've finished up the gigs!

Love y'all, hope you're doing well! (HAPPY OCTOBER)

Frasier and Niles Become Demon Lords (Foley behind-the-scenes)

I've been meaning to make this since I released the Frasier video! A little behind-the-scenes peek at how I did the Foley work.

I cover pretty much every sound in the video except music, voices and some special effects (like the ki-charge sound; which I might make a text post about in the future)

Hope y'all enjoy!

Patreon Livestream #1 Complete!

This is my first time doing an unlisted Youtube stream so please leave plenty of feedback if anything's off or goofy!!

EDIT: Finished! Thanks to everyone who stopped by!!

STREAM UPDATE!!

Hey, everyone! I was bummed there were (2) votes to do the stream another day, I don't wanna leave anyone out!!

Maybe today's a better option since it's a holiday?

I'm thinking of streaming from 5pm est to 6pm est!

Gonna doodle and do requests, answer questions, etc.!

Livestream plans!

Thinking about doing that monthly livestream today!! What time would be good for y'all?

OTHER THUMBS

I posted page one-of-two of the thumbs for the Frasier video a while back but never posted page two-of-two!

Here it is LOL... you can see I changed the imp's design a lot.

ALSO SORRY FOR NOT HAVING THAT... behind-the-scenes foley video I said I'd do. I still really wanna do it!! I'm just distracted with freelance stuff, ugh.

Also, thinking about maybe posting that Leap! review on my main chan...

Almost done...

Backgrounds, backgrounds, backgrounds...

I've only got a few left to do, I should definitely make it on time for a Saturday morning drop! :" D

Here you can get a peek into my compositing process LMAO... yes, I literally import all the backgrounds as planes and shift them in front of the camera when I need thEM... (leading to this giant mural of backgrounds looming just off-screen 😭😭)

Special Effects...

(this gif came out really choppy the shimmer is a LOT faster in the video LOL)

Doing special effects is always a toss up for me; I'm never sure how much I wanna do as a post-production effect in Blender and how much needs to be baked in to the raw animation.

Here I'm doing some color-flashing in Flash and will add some overlays later in Blender, but in some other shots I'm leaving it all up to future Ian to handle it in post-pro LMAO...

EEK

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES...

Leap! (2016) Review (SCRAPPED)

A few weeks ago I was trying to think up other things I could upload to my channel besides animations, so I could have a more consistent upload schedule. One idea was a comedy review series focusing on animated movies!

I only filmed/edited one of these, eventually deciding it wasn't a good fit for my channel, but I thought I'd share it with y'all as a little bonus material!!

(The outro's missing but otherwise this was it's finished form more or less)

Book Jaundice and Lip-sync

This one shot in Book Jaundice was one of the more fun but time-consuming ones to do!
Usually how I handle lip-sync (at least as of late) is animate the character without a mouth and only move them when I think it's necessary, then paste a flappy mouth on later; usually just "AH" "TT" "MM" and "OO" drawings which I flip between to fit the audio.

But for this shot I knew I wanted to go a little bigger, so I e...

Femmebot (unfinished animation)

Soon after finishing the BOOGIE animation I had plans to do another music video clip in that same style, set to Femmebot by Charli XCX.

Unfortunately, I had freelance duties back on my plate; and knowing I wouldn't be able to monetize such a video considering the audio wasn't much incentive to finish it... :" s

I may still finish it in the future, but for now, here's the boards/rough animation!

Some Thumbs

I felt bad dropping something for $2.00 backers and leaving the Club Members in the dust!!

Here's something for everyone, a little preview of the thumbnails I did for this new animation (COMING SOON, HOPEFULLY) !!

Holding Threepio's Head (2013)

Back in 2013 I participated in a Star Wars UNCUT thing where fans submit their own versions of scenes, be they animated or live-action, and they picked their favorites and spliced it together.

I did "Holding Threepio's Head" and (I THINK??) got picked as the one in the movie. I forget tbh LOL

ANYWHO I never put it on Youtube because they said not to, although I think it's on my Vimeo maybe. BUT FINALLY.. HERE IT IS ON YOUTUBE! Just for y'all club presidents. You absolute legends.

$2-tier bonus content masterpost!

Cheap Backgrounds LOL

For the How'd You Get Back There video I revisited an old technique I mainly used back with the Eric Andre show animations, reeeaally cheap backgrounds. :" D

Basically instead of drawing a bunch of individual backgrounds for every shot, I just draw one big BG and stretch it over a sliiightly 3D shape (so it has a little more pizzazz) then just zoom and pan around it and hope no one notices LOL...

There were two other backgrounds I drew for one-off shots (pictured above as the floating pl...

CHABOI RETURNS

I'm back!! I've edited a lot of the tiers and rewards to be more simple, hopefully the site won't pull anything funny again LOL...

Feel free to un-pledge if you've been here a while and aren't down for chaboi 2.0! It's all good!

I hope everyone's doing well!! : D

UH, SHUTTING THIS DOWN SOON

HEY EVERYONE... like many others, I am not happy with what Patreon's been doing over here. Not just the price hiking but their whole attitude is just... it's bad...

I will be moving to a new platform when one presents itself, and possibly making a Ko-fi intermittently, just so people who still wanna support me have a place they can do that.

(UPDATE: I MADE A KO-FI LOL )

Thanks to everyone for your continued support...

AH , DANG

WELP I didn't finish EITHER of the videos I wanted to finish before Halloween and now freelance is picking up again. SHIT...

Here's another colored board from the HIAGB fan-video just so I have something to show hhAhha,,

Thanks to everyone being patient with me here, I wish I had more time and energy to work on these projects but I am SO pooped. Pooped x10.

AAAAAAAAAAA

I've been busy with house stuff so the going is slow on this video BUT... here's another... one.

TESTING OUT COLORS

Here's another board for the Mr. Nut video! I colored this one (and will probably be doing the others) so when I get around to doing the animation I'm not TOTALLY winging it with the colors.

WHY CAN'T I POST MULTIPLE IMAGES

I'm doing some boards for a lyric video I wanna make for that HIAGB fansong I did last year (MR. NUT) I've got all the boards done and wanted to show them here BUT... *inane gurgling and pointing at post title*

So here's one of them. There's only four shots HAHa... keeping it simple for lyric videos, just a couple animated scenes with the lyrics at the bottom.

I'll keep y'all updated on how it goes.

OCTOBER UPDATE

HEY EVERYONE... huge apologies for not posting here lately. D :

I've been swamped with freelance stuff! I love and appreciate all my patrons here but there just aren't enough of you (YET!!) for me to focus on personal stuff full-time.

Above is a shot I animated last year for a music video (for The Second Little Piggy) that I'm finally getting around to putting a bow on.

Possibly wishful thinking, but it shouuuld be out this October. At some point... THANKS Y'ALL FOR BEING PATIENT!!...

Putting This Animation On Hold...

HEY EVERYONE... sharing the full version of all the animation I'd done for this my Horror Show re-animation clip since I'm probably gonna stop working on it. : B

I just have other stuff I wanna get to, and the urgency of getting this out  has worn off so... to the back-burner with thee. LOL

I should be starting another proper re-animation soon, probably Monster Factory related.

SEE Y'ALL IN A BIT!!

Why Ratboy Genius Deserves an Oscar

Thanks so much to everyone here for helping me reach my goal of $50/month! I know we met that goal a while ago but I'm slow and also lazy.

HERE'S THE VIDEO I PROMISED...

Now to get on that Bee Movie Wallpaper for the $100/month goal LMAO

Vrooom

Still working on this little fanimation clip for the DJ Shadow feat. Danny Brown song I mentioned earlier!! I wanna add some smoke trails to the car but otherwise I'm happy with how it's coming out. : O

This doesn't feel like my usual re-animation fair, so I'll be boarding up another proper one soon (probably an Eric Andre Show clip LOL)

I'm not sure when I'll have this one done tbh.

SPACE (Project Files)

Hello everyone! Here's the project files for the recent SPACE animation.

[mega link]  

Now you too can see the silly names I gave all the files LOL...

Song Clip Fanimation (Boards)

Not sure if I'll finish this LOL... the new DJ Shadow song feat. Danny Brown (Horror Show) is such a jam and I had this fun little video idea for a clip from the song, so I boarded it out!! Just something quick.

Brule's almost finished, and next week I'm gonna try and put together a full music video for a song off Bikini Bottom but maaaybe in-between working on that I'll be able to finish up this clip! We shall see...

In Space No One Can Hear You Sweat

I started animating Brule sweating like a normal person with the drips and stuff but stopped when I realized there's no Got Damb, Gravity In space.

So here's a probably-not-very-accurate but hopefully-kinda-funny interpretation of space sweat.

I hope everyone is doing well!

Hoping to have the animation (FINALLY) finished by this Saturday!
