2025-03-06 18:26:15 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for not updating last week, took a few days to recharge as this ep's boards are kicking my ass!
Good news though, you have a nice fat board update today as well as knowing I only have one minute left to board on the ep. After that it's going through, trimming the fat and all that fun stuff.
Currently, without edits we're looking at a run time of 27 minutes, MUCH more manageable than ep 4's monstrous 33.
Just a quick couple extra updates; ...
2025-02-22 18:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostShort update this week as we're getting into the delicious MEAT of the episode so I don't want to spoil you guys too much.
3/5ths of the ep has been boarded, looks like we're still on track to get all the boards finished by early March
In other news it's been brought to my attention that some patrons are uploading exclusive content to their own public socials. This is extremely disrespectful to not only to our team, but to the other patrons who are ...
2025-02-08 16:10:29 +0000 UTC View PostGah, February already?!

A new year, a new ep of Monkey Wrench is in production! Script is finalized and we're currently getting our Spanish consultant Bertha to make sure everything is A ok before we print it.
VO will begin recording in roughly 2 weeks, all thanks to the stupendous success of the Kara plush. She alone is funding all of the voice work this ep. As always we can't thank you enough.
As we wait for said things to finish up, enjoy a peak at some old and new faces...

2024-12-19 21:09:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe Kara plush campaign is now live over on https://www.makeship.com/products/kara-plushie
Like always this campaign needs 200 sales to be successful and 400+ to really start making the big bucks. Here's hoping we sell enough to start work on episode 5 sooner rather than later
Campaign will end January 1st

Enjoy this very brief teaser for future events to come~
No real episode update this week as I've been grinding out the last few spoilery background scenes this week!
Though expect a release date in the next 2 weeks.

2024-11-02 13:18:53 +0000 UTC View PostOh boy! Backgrounds & Comp is in full swing!
Much progress was made this week, we're about 1/2 way through the episode. At current pace the ep should be ready for your eyes early December.
In the mean time, we've been invited to showcase some Monkey Wrench stuff on the next Glitch X, which is happening November 1st!
It's not much, but it's a little something to get people excited for things to come.
Until next weeks update. Than...
2024-10-26 13:48:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt's finally come to this, the final animation update!
All 500+ shots are animated, it's now time to dig in and get the Backgrounds, comp and additional characters all added to them there scenes.
We're currently looking at an estimated release date for late November, early December. So if things go well (and I don't die) you'll be seeing this thing in it's full glory in the next 45 days
Exciting?!
Maybe~
Now since I've got a lot of ...
2024-10-19 14:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostWrist is back in action, baby!
I have 20 shots left to go on my end, the crew have about 7 of their own left. I expect everything to be animated by mid October, which then leaves a good month to get all the backgrounds and BG character animation to get finalized.
Expected release date is late November, early December
Until next update!
2024-10-05 14:55:18 +0000 UTC View PostOh boy what a past two weeks it's been.
Progress has been sadly slow, (currently at 55 shots left) as I've hit the one thing I hoped I'd never have to experience; SEVERE WRIST PAIN
But it's not in my drawing hand, thankfully. It's in my left hand which I use to hit my shortcuts and such. Though it still makes animating a painful process. I'm being forced to take it easy for a bit but I'll endeavor to get this ep finished this year as well as get folks ico...
2024-09-21 15:00:28 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week, another 20 odd shots knocked out~
Just another 73 left to go~
Not much to really say so I'll see you guys for next weeks update
Until next time~
2024-09-07 20:11:57 +0000 UTC View PostWhere did August go?!
Anywho, animation update for your eyes!
I've finally hit double digits, 98 shots of my own remain. Progress has been a little slower due to taking it easy as well as finishing up another thing for October/November but we should be on track for getting it out this year.
I've also picked up a Lythero commission to help bolster funds as things are getting rather expensive this ep, we've already burnt through our plush payouts for both Tyneen & Shrike. ...
2024-08-31 15:32:07 +0000 UTC View PostAnimation update be upon yee!
Itty bitty update this week as clean up is now in full swing! I'm now down to 108 shots of my own left, next week we're gonna be in the double digits. Oh my!
Updates from now on maybe a little light on content as clean up usually takes a good while but I'll endeavor to keep you all up to speed on how things are progressing~
Until next Saturday~
2024-08-24 15:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostAn update on a friday??? Wow!
Had to update early this week as Ash & I have to attend a family thing over the weekend, so enjoy this weeks progress update!
Clean up is underway for the animation crew and I have 147 shots of my own left out of the 400 to go. There are a lot of stills this update as most of the stuff I worked on was at the end of the ep, enjoy them funky zoom ins~

A lot of managing and housekeeping done this week so sadly not much animation was done, we do however have some more music previews from Ockeroid to tantalize your ears!
Roughs from the crew are almost done, still waiting on the remaining 10% which should be done by mid August, then it's just clean up, Backgrounds, Animating all the crowds on top of my own remaining 157 shots.
We're slooo...
Another week, another amount of progress!
So some good news and some bad news;
Good news is that progress on the ep is going somewhat smoothly. Ockeroid has started music, voices are almost engineered and roughs are nearly done.
Bad news is that I have 160 shots of my own left to go, and with backgrounds AND additional bg character animation left to go I'm getting very burnt out, so much so that it's affecting my health.
We're going to have to go at a slower pace whic...
2024-08-03 17:57:44 +0000 UTC View PostAnother Saturday another update!
Got lots of stuff done towards the end of the ep so expect a lot of zoomed in still for this one~
Not really much to say other than we're still trucking along.
Until next weekend!

Less than 4 days remain to get you a Shrike 2.0 before he goes into a black hole to never return!
At time of writing we are 43 away from hitting the golden 30% profit margin!

We're just teetering on the half way mark, by next Saturday we should have crested that hill.
You'll also notice we have 3 new hard enamel pins, two of which have our first ever gimmicks!
Disco Head pin has some rather spicy glitter and the Jaw Bone pin glows in the dark!
A new Shrike pin is there too, i guess.

As of writing, I personally have 217 shots left to animate from my 400 total!
The crew are chipping away at their allotment and all roughs for them should be finished by the end of July.
Matt is hard at work getting the audio all cleaned up and I hope to have a sample of some characters for you all to listen to some time in August.
Until next Weeks update, thanks again for your continued support~
