Next up is...

Something About Sonic The Hedgehog!

I wanted to work on something quick and Sonic's first game fits the bill! Thematically and practically! I actually wrote 7 scripts for 7 different game parodies I want to do - but they're all the normal Something video length; which is about 4-5 minutes.

Since we're all stuck inside I thought it'd be a good idea to go back to my shorter Something format for a little while to get more videos out (The first Sonic game I actually wanted to...

Blue Doodles

The Mrs and I have been busy packing for our move, but I took a little break to doodle 2 cool blue dudes (and their sidekicks).

Pausing April Billing Cycle for Patrons!

Good afternoon (or morning, depending on where you are)!

We found out we can pause billing cycles without Patrons losing their access to our page so we are going to pause the billing cycle for April!   

So you WILL NOT be billed during April. if you are charged, reach out to us and we will reach out to Patreon to correct the issue. :)

We are so incredibly grateful that you guys support us with your hard-earned dollars, no matter how big or small the amount. <3 &...

How I feel after finishing the animation:

BUT YEAH- I finished the animation! Now I need to do all the sounds and editing. I'm aiming to have the Premiere ready by the end of next week!

Still hard at work on Something About Super Metroid!

All together this animation is shaping up to be my longest one yet! It should finally be ready near the end of the month! 

Since it's a special Something, this video will be a Premiere and there won't be any early access for the whole video but I will share a teaser clip with Patrons before it Premieres.

Thank you guys for all the support and patience!

I also just want to take a minute to ask that you guys stay safe out there. Listen to your local authorities a...

With every animation, I make a compilation of shots that ended up on the cutting room floor.

So far, I've accumulated roughly 70 seconds of UNUSED shots for the Metroid animation.

This animation is getting some extra love. I've been working on the animatic for a month now (normally, animatics take about 2 weeks) and we're really excited with how it's coming along!

This is a fun scene (:

I was hoping to have the animation ready by the end of the month, but the project ended up being a lot more work than I thought, so it might not be ready until March! I think it'll be worth it though, I'm really proud of it so far.

Something About World of Light's MEME MAP.

Today marks Something About Smash Bro's WoL's 1 year anniversary! GOLLY TIME GOES BY FAST.

Here's a screenshot of the Meme Map from WoL at 8% of it's full size. Most of it wasn't even shown in the final video and I had to break it up into multiple pieces to fit it into Animate CC without crashing it. It was SO BIG.

Can you spot all the references?

Ditto's Daycare Dance ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ (Music Video)

HERE IT IS. An animation I put off for 3 years, finally complete!

This animation actually marks a pivotal point in my development as an animator. From 2012 up until I started working on this video in 2017, my animation process was relatively slow - but when I began work on the Ditto animatic, the project flowed quickly and seamlessly.   After 5 years, I was finally starting to see the hard work pay off. 

I became more confident in my understanding of animation and m...

Ditto's Daycare Dance Reference Sheet

So, a handful of you might remember this old unfinished animation.

I was halfway through the animatic, but then I put it on the backburner to start the first "Something About Monster Hunter World" video. I meant to come back to it, but then the Something Series took off!

I was having a lot of fun with this project so I decided to revisit it - it'll be live next Friday for early...

I'm so proud of the amazing community we've become, you guys ar...
