Doodley Lore Part 2: Dreamtective

Hi! This is the second in a series of “lore” posts that talk about some of the projects I've done in the past. Behind the scenes for things that aren't Doodley related, basically!

You can read this first one here, although you don't really need to read it to understand this one. But it has some context for this post.

$3 Tier and Patreon Restructuring

Hi! If you were part of the Patreon pre April 2nd and would like a refund, please email me at davidoneacre@gmail.com with the title "Patreon Refund Request". It can be for any reason, even if you just financially need it right now. Make sure you email from the same email attached to your Patreon user. Just wanted to lead with that so it was obvious.

All previous tiers have now been hidden, and will be deleted at the end of the month. I can't manually mo...

First 5 Minutes of "Why is 'Choppy' Animation Better?"

Hi! I still have some work to do on this, but I'll be busy for the day, so I'm dropping a little preview to make up for this month. It's the bulk of it (the full vid is 7 minutes so it's really just lacking the outro) and there's some other errors and cleanup I need to do, like sound mixing. Full video will be out next Friday!

I will be restructuring the Patreon next week, most likely moving to a single $3 tier and offering refunds to anyone who wants one, amongst some other announcemen...

Free Month/Pausing Payment for One Month!

Hi all! This'll sort of be the newsletter for the month, I guess.

I'm currently dealing with some back pain, and, alongside expecting a very busy April personally and not meeting some of the expectations I promised to Patrons, I'm gonna pause payments for a month (or, if you've already been charged, you get a free month in May I believe)

To be real with you, I've been kinda having a weird one for the past couple months! Before everything, I was kind of a ghost on the internet. I h...

Work Stream 4-1-23

I streamed a little bit today and OBS crashed like halfway through, but here's the VOD! Mostly just modelled some props, and we played a couple games at the end.

Audio Only: Doodley at the Oscars 2023 (Scrapped Video)

Hi! Read below for context, otherwise you're about to hear some cringey audio where I talk to myself for 8 minutes.

For the past week I was starting to put together a video about the Academy Award nominees for Best Animated Feature. I was partially driven by the desire of putting Doodley behind a podium and talking to a fake audience as though he's hosting, hence the first few minutes. It gets kinda sarcastic and snarky since 2023-03-10 07:52:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Doodley and Sprout React to Cryptoland

Watch out for 18+ language!! We say a swear sometimes.

Let's take a look at Cryptoland, a horrible 3D animated short film made to advertise a non-existent island the creators didn't own in order to hawk their worthless NFTs!

When it comes to stuff like this, I'm only ever interested in "punching up" and dunking on corporations that should know better -- don't expect reactions to student films or the like!

If you like these, let me know! They're fun to do, es...

Merch Store is Live!

It's here! After quite literally months of patience and work, I finally have the merch store online! It's 100% run by Mel and I, and we really want to make every order special.

Poll for a March Mini Video

Sorry if you got a double email, had to remake the poll to allow for multiple choice! Please laugh directly at me.

I'm calling 'em mini videos now! 6 minutes or less. Let's go with that.

You can check the March newsletter for more info, but basically you're voting on a shorter video to do within March/April! This'll be released early on Patreon and "queued" for wider release on Youtube down the line.

The options are basically a bunch of ideas I had, plus som...

March 2023 Update Newsletter

Hello again! Sorry for tripping Gimberly.

Here's an update on everything I plan to do in March and beyond, plus a little post-mortem on the legs video. Let me know what you think!

Animating LEGS Post Mortem

So this video ended up being a doozy! While I feel like I have found my video-making groove over these past few months, I hadn't yet tested it with the tutorial-type video like Animating Arms.

As you can probably guess, th...

Unreleased First Doodley Video + Commentary!

Hi! I mentioned in the Gimberly video that the first video I ever made was unfinished and unreleased -- this is that! Plus a little extra commentary for fun.

I quite like this format for Patreon videos compared to the Wendell & Wild commentary I did, so I'll probably explore more of it in the future. Thanks for watching and supporting me!

$1 Patreon Doodles During the 100k Plaque Unboxing Stream!

REQUESTS HAVE BEEN FILLED ON STREAM, thank you! I will be messaging everyone with their doodles soon!

Patrons! This Friday, I'll be streaming the 100k plaque unboxing, and since I have the hand cam setup, I wanted to do something fun with it!

ALL Patrons can request a little doodle during the stream, and whenever I launch merch later this month, if you make any order, I can include that doodle with your order if you incl...

Thoughts on Wendell & Wild (Fixed!)

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR WENDELL & WILD

Sorry for the double upload, but I think this should work via Patreon Video! (Earlier uploads got caught badly in Youtube's Content ID, despite fair use criticism.) If this still ultimately gets caught up in some kind of copyright snafu, I'll stand defeated, but I think this should be okay under fair use criticism.

That said, I'm still going to shift this format over to more of a "rambling abo...

Doodley Lore Part 1: The Old Patreon

Hello! This is the first in a series of “lore” posts that talk about some of the projects I've done in the past. Behind the scenes for things that aren't Doodley related, basically!

I hope you find them interesting. Let me know what you think in the Discord channel or comments.

This first post is about the “old” Patreon. I figured it was the best place to start considering we're on the "new" Patreon now.

When getting the Patreon setup, I completely f...

February 2023 Update Newsletter

Hello everyone!! Thank you for joining the Patreon!

I’m super excited for this to be a place where I post all my works-in-progress, sneak peeks, behind the scenes, and other fun stuff. Showing my process is one of my favorite things to do on the internet, so being able to have a place specifically for that is really cool.

This is the first in an at least monthly “update” series that explains what we’re working on and what we have planned. I may do...
