I hope everyone's enjoyed SONIC: THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING HEDGEHOG, which just released today!
As a Paintreon bonus, I'm sharing the entire animatic. Most of it was drawn by me, but the one scene with Metal and Sage was by King. And I revised it a bit. But it was largely them.
Most of the final thing stuck pretty close to the boards. But it's kind of neat seeing it in this pro...

This here is a very small snippet of cleanup work I did today, on the upcoming animation for Mashed.
If you didn't see on their Youtube page, they've posted a small short clip of the finished video. I'm not going to link it here because I'm LAZY.
Like I said, this was just cleanup work, so I actually didn't animate this outright. The rough cut for this was by Brandon Maker, who is one of three animators working on this. Since we're really trying to make sure this gets out in time,...

So, during production of PART 2 of my next Mashed cartoon, I was suggested to add a particular joke to the animatic.
Essentially, there's a scene with a giant bird. And Tom wrote in his notes for the animatic that it should make a big poo on Eggman's head. My internal gut reaction was "What the hell? I'm not doing that." It would have required extra voice acting and just added a weird bump in the middle of the scene, all for Bird Poo Humor.
Look, I'll be real. I don't think I'm ab...

Short post this time. I just wanted to show off a clip that will appear in the final video. All the backgrounds are finished!
This time, our background artist is Eric, who also did the backgrounds for Clone Chaos, The King's Gambit, and a bunch of other Mashed productions. This seriously might be his best work on something I've written and boarded so far. He just went above and beyond; I would honestly say it rivals the style of Sonic Mania Adventures. It's so beautiful it almost makes ...

Here's a little bit of the animatic for the upcoming Start Cast animation, starring Alvin and the Munkshrooms!
The audio from this is from a table read we did so you'll hear un-pitch-corrected Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.
I wanted to voice Back Row Jane (the one who greets the Toads at the door) but I was woefully denied, as I apparently voice too many characters. I COULD HAVE DONE IT. I only voice myself, all three Toads, T. Owner, and D. Owner. I've got the range for it, ok....

If you're reading this, that means I'm basically almost pretty much completely finished with drawing the entire animatic for the upcoming Mashed cartoon. I'm talking both parts!
Well, there's like half a page left to draw. But I can do it really quickly.
If you didn't catch my last post, GO CATCH IT!!! I said when this video is coming out. Heads up, it's extremely soon! OK? It'll be in your lap before you know it. Well, the first part at least. We don't know when the second part i...

Hello again! I'm posting again! I'm gonna dump a bunch of stuff on you this weekend to make up for my slight absence.
First post: Here's a handful of shots that have been colored for the upcoming video! As you can see, things are going well.
Actually... I've just about finished all the animation I need to do for this video. It's coming out NEXT WEEK. No, for real! It is!! NEXT WEEK! Think of that!
You might recall me posting that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with this vid...

Another shot from the upcoming animation for Mashed!
This one I'm quite happy with! It's a pretty simple shot so I was able to get this together in a couple days. I'm getting more and more adjusted to working in CSP.
Other than that... Not much else to say, really! Um, here, because theres no audio I can let you guess what theyre saying? Haha, I dunno. Anyways, crazy busy, hope I survive this next month, yadda yadda.

Quick little bit of in-progress animation here!
If you haven't read the previous post, I've made the jump to Clip Studio Paint. NEW ANIMATION PROGRAM!! New to me, I mean.
I'm getting the hang of things. Trying to see what's familiar, what isn't. Here I used a bunch of keyframe tweening. That's basically where you draw less images and have them move around digitally, as opposed to doing it all frame-by-frame. Honestly, going all in on one or the other seems to be tricky. Weirdly, s...

Animation has begun on the next video for Mashed. But this isn't your usual animated progress clip. Something about this one is different. It's a PaintraSeaPea FIRST. Let me explain.
First, I must ask you to watch this video. Just a couple shots I worked on this week. If you've watched a lot of my animations, is there anything different you've noticed about this clip? Out of the ordinary?
You see, as you may or may not know, due to how infrequently I've made this clear, for my ent...

Character and object sheets for the upcoming Mashed video! They're all colored and look so nice!
These were colored by my Mashed colorist, King. We've got a nice default palette of all the characters, an in-shade version, then some bugs, and designs on the Eggmobile!
Things are really ramping up on this one. It's supposed to come out in two weeks, but... if I can confide in you all, I have no idea how that's going to happen. Things have been a bit strange production-wise, I think ...

Today's featured storyboard theme is: THE 'BOTNIKS! Who are the 'Botniks? I'll explain you!
In my upcoming set of videos for Mashed, the big B-plot is going to star Orbot and Cubot. Or, rather, as you will come to know them, Orbotnik and Cubotnik. That's right! Somehow, they've ended up as the acting leaders of the Eggman Empire.
As I've said before, the duty of adding a whole Orbot and Cubot robot subplot was bestowed on me by one of the producers. Originally they showed up reall...

I just finished the animatic for Part 1 of the upcoming Mashed video I'm working on! So here's a 40 second clip of it.
This will be the last time I show off the part 1 animatic because we're moving on to PART 2!!! This week has been particularly busy, this weekend especially. Hah, and they call it spring "break"??
This is a moment showing off Sonic and friends' group dynamic a little bit, and also how they get under Eggman's skin. They're like the fun young neighborhood kids that ...

I haven't been uploading super frequently, mainly because there's nothing particularly new to say about this. It's progressing swimmingly! Actually, I've finished my share of the first part so a good most of these drawings are from part 2. It's all one story, though.

Small clip of the animatic I've been working on because I liked this bit of acting I drew. And you can hear some voice acting too!
Whenever I get the audio back from the actors, I never actually have any interaction with said actors or know who any of them are until the video is fully uploaded. SO I was a little surprised when I found out yesterday that the voice of Sonic in this cartoon is one Chase Corbin! Ah, he's the one who played the Talking Flower in Floweratouille.

Thumbnails + concept art for the upcoming Mashed video here!
These thumbnails I made for King, who usually helps out on these videos, since they've elected to help with storyboarding. On the thumbnails I just give a pretty stripped-down look at all the shots I have in mind, just to offer them some guidance on how scenes should be structured.
The second image is from a sequence that required some pretty extensive direction, so I've drawn a ton of panels here. There are all kinds of...

These are just some select drawings I've done over the past day that I thought looked good. I feel like progress on this is coming along pretty swiftly! I've got two pages down. A little over a minute and a half. So I'm like a fourth of the way done storyboarding.

Sharing this bit of animatic that I think came out really well. Imagine how it's gonna look ANIMATED!
I had all of this written down, that the machine aims directly for Tails and Sonic dives in the way to protect him, but it was a little difficult pinning down the best way to convey it on a shot-by-shot basis. The most effective divulgence of information. It's gotta move quick out here, zap zap!
At first I had the idea of rapidly cutting between the machine taking aim and then Tai...

This current point of the story has been really fun to board, honestly. Hopefully that comes through in the drawings. I ...
