WIP Smash Shirt Shop!

 

So I've finished my Smash Shirts and started uploading them! I've got 40ish up so far but Teespring has a daily upload limit that I hit, and I'm trying to get help from support but since I've hit it I'm only able to upload 3 more a day. Bummer.

I have the link here though so you can see it so far, and if you're interested buy a shirt!

Something About Smash Ultimate..

SHIRTS!

I finished the quick doodles for all 70+ characters. Coloring them then getting the shirts ready is gonna be my next lil project :) and I definitely wanna do more Smash animations once Ultimate is out!

Something About Castlevania!

All done :) this was meant to be a quickie in October but I added a little more to it and some other things came up in the real world that kept me BUSY. Still, I had a lot of fun animating it :)

Something About.. a different Konami game.

Silent Hill 2 is canned but I suddenly fell in love Castlevania. I whipped up a script in like 30 minutes and did some doodles so..


Also I loosely based Simon and Dracula off of my designs from my cancelled Crashervania music video that I was going to...

A cancelled Something About - WIP Screenshot

So I wanted to do 2 Halloween animations this month, the 2nd was going to be Silent Hill 2.

I guess making Luigi's Mansion spooky is easier than making SH2 silly though, I've had writer's block all week and I've been having a hard time finishing the script/storyboard. I'm almost 2/3rds the way though and I have an ending in mind. I'm just having trouble filling that gap in between in a way that I like. So I'm probably gonna save this for next year or scrap it.

I have other Nintendo Somet...

Something About SMASH SHIRTS - WIP/gif

As a warm up today I doodled some Smashers. I'm thinking about making a shirt for every character. What do you guys think?

Something About LUIGI'S MANSION!

IT'S FINISHED, FOR SPOOKTOBER! And also the Luigi's Mansion release on 3DS!

I hustled to get this one done, it only took me 1 week! PHEW. That's good, cause I want to try and get another spooky Something out before the month's end! Wish me luck!

Something About... (WIP GIF)

Can you tell what it is? (;

I'm aiming to get it done by this coming weekend; very short production time, I started working on it last Thursday and didn't work on it much over the weekend but I want to try and get 2 spooky animations done for October/Halloween!

Something About.... Halloween Special? Maybe? (Doodles)

YOU WERE PROBABLY EXPECTING LUIGI'S MANSION (Hmm maybe that'd be better..) I've been thinking about doing something SPOOKY for October. Although, I did plan on doing Zelda OoT - I might push that back some.

I did these doodles earlier thinking I wouldn't actually do Silent Hill but I dunno, they were fun to draw so maybe. I have a few ideas I just need to pull it all together in a way that works, and get it done by All Hallows Eve.

Something About Super Mario 64!

IT'S DONE! Now I'll actually begin my hiatus. September is going to be super busy, I'm getting married and stuff! The Something Series will continue in October-ish!

Payment STUFF

So last month Patreon went crazy and declined a lot of cards. This month they're trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.

If any of you are having any trouble, here’s what you can do:

  1. If their bank suspects that the Patreon payment is fraudulent, a patron can call up their bank to confirm the payment is theirs and genuine.
  2. If their payment failed, they can 2018-09-01 20:03:21 +0000 UTC View Post

It's coming along (: it'll be a shorter one (2 mins).

Something About...

Super Mario 64!

September is going to be a busy month (I'm getting married!), so I'm going to take a break from the Something Series.

I want to put some care into the next big Something - so it'll have to wait until October, but yesterday I got an idea for a quick Mario 64 toon, and I've seen a lot of people requesting it in YT comments. So! I started working on it today, hopefully I can get this one done quick before my lil vacation :)

Pokemon Battle Royale!

It's all done :) sorry for the delay posting it here! I was out and about today. Thanks for the support guys <3 This was a really fun one to work on, and it was mostly Lockstin's idea. I don't normally do collabs but this was too good to pass up!

Quick Notice!

My next animation is going up Sunday afternoonish (today) :) I already exported the video and it's processing now. Everyone that has pledged $5 and up will be credited!

But if any new peeps start supporting from this point on, I'm gonna miss you :( If that happens though I'll make sure you're credited in the next one!

Something About...?

...Final Fantasy XIV?

I beat A Real Reborn a few years back and reactivated my account with Heavensward, I've been playing it for a few days and the quests leading up to the expansion are mind numbingly boring, I hate it. I spent like 3 hours doing delivery quests yesterday, I didn't even fight anything. I love the FF series but this one is.. ehhh..

So I thought about making a quick video to mock it, not sure if I will but here are some of my doodles.

I'm getting close guys

The next animation will be a bit over 5 minutes! It's different than the usual "Something" videos, it's a collabration with a Poketuber.

I'm going to finish it up tomorrow then most likely have it up later this week, once the other guy has his video ready :) (Probably this weekend)

One little thing I'm concerned about though is.. If I get a new Patron after I've exported and uploaded the video, but before it goes Public. There will be a couple hour window where I might miss bran...

I'm getting close guys

Nearing the end of the animation, just got one more scene to do, and I'm waiting on a few other things.. then I can start finishing up the editing and sound! It's going to be another long one (5ish minutes).

Thank you for your patience and support! Should be ready by the end of the week, or early next week :)

Patreon messed up for everyone using a card

I thought I lost like 40 Patrons over night, some of you may have notice your card being declined and stuff. There was a weird glitch last night that declined every card payment on the site. Patreon is trying to fix it, you can find out more here:

I'm considering changing to "Charge Up Front"

So Patreon charges on the first of every month, but now I can change it so when you pledge you are charged for the month immediately, then on the first of every month after.

This helps me because there are people who pledge then unpledge come payday. 

It also helps you guys get Patron rewards faster. To be credited in videos you have had to have paid at least once, so if you're charged right away, the day I export a video I will make sure you're credited.

And for thos...

"Something About Pokemon" screenshot :D

I'm not even halfway through with it yet, but I'm liking how it's looking so far :) every single Pokemon is fun to draw! I'm not sure I'll have it done this month, I'm hoping - but it might not be ready until next month.

Angel of Death Instrumental Short Edit

I edited this Slayer song around to avoid copyright.

I originally planned on using this for an extended Marx fight where he completely overwhelms Kirby; by creating hundreds of new galaxies, multiple black holes, etc. Then in a last ditch effort Kirby was going to pull out the cross. I felt like it would've been too cool, and also would've taken more time. Then I remembered Jonny Atma's Marx cover and thought that'd work better.

Maybe I'll use it for some other intense scene in a differe...

Something About GENO FOR SMASH!

Made this real quick :v GENO FOR SMASH.

Something About something else.. WIP Animatic

The Pokemon one is my next main project BUT, I've had this idea about me talking about Geno in Smash for a while now. I'm trying to keep it animted pretty simple, so I might do this real quick before jumping into Pokemon.

Also, I'm not sure if I should animate myself as my avatar, or make a very simple stickman version of myself as that'd help me finish it much faster.

What do you guys think?

Something About..

POKEMON DOODLES!

Although, this one will be a bit different than my usual Something videos, it's not something about a specific Pokemon game, but don't worry, I'd still like to do Something about a mainline Pokemon title eventually.

Something About Kirby Super Star ANIMATED!

This one took me all month to do. It's a little more polished than the other Something videos, I generally want to keep them shorter and simple but this time I WENT TOO FAR. What do you guys think about this? And do you prefer longer (4-5 min) videos or shorter (1-3 min) videos, but slightly more frequent uploads (sometimes)?

Also I might take a lil breather and rest a bit before I work on my next animation, that might be a collab with someone ;)

KIRB!

I'm still working! I'm maybe 1/4 through with the final animation. I did the animatic last week and started actual animation this week, so I'm making good progress.

I'm actually not sure if it'll be as long as the Yoshi's Island one, but I think I'm putting a little more polish into it. I gotta learn how to not do that though.. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLE. It's also not as memey yet, I'll probably go back and ruin some scenes after I'm done to fix that :P
