Ricepirate

It's June...OH SHIIIIIIII

The pedal is to the metal ... but it's time to pull a switch on the vehicle in this sassy getaway heist, my friends.

Been workin on commission work (and still have one last one to do, but it's Cherry Fam which I'm happy to throw on the channel). At this point, I do feel like the Cherry Family has become a bit of a mini-RP series...

That said, Herly Mounds, Pawn Pawn and other projects are underway, and they are the focus (after I get the board done for Cherry). Audio for some of the proj...

Back from Seattle: Lots o' Stuff in progress!

The wedding in Seattle this past holiday weekend is over and I've been pluggin' away since I got back.

Cherry Insurance is my current string of commissions including 2 radio commercials, billboard art, and two animated commercials. Here's the progress of the first animation : https://twitter.com/RicepirateMick/status/869650170048151553

The second animation will be of the Cherry Family, wh...

Herly Mounds Teaser audio - [The Forecast]

Here's the audioscape for an upcoming world building teaser for Herly Mounds. This is Ludvig (Vig) the local fisherguy. Crazy or keeper of a dark secret, it's hard to tell at times. Principal Goodman stops by to pick up his usual weekly jar of pickled fish eyes. 

Vig is very much a reference to Bloodborne and at the end when he stabs the still live fish, his little gutting knife glows green (similar to a Moonligh blade). 

The plan to is to release a bunch of world building shor...

Herly Mound : "Another project"

So, after wrapping up Batman and the Prank Doctors (I'll make a proper update going over the past month) I've been moving on to Pawn Pawn and "another project" ... well this is the "another project" : Currently titled "Herly Mound".

The basic premise : On a small island, off the coast New Hampshire, is the small quiet fishing community, the town of Herly Mound. It's about as simple as a town can be, it has a local library, the local school includes all grades,...

Voiceover Demo Review Stream

UPDATE : 3rd VO Demo stream will Sunday June 25rd at 6pm (definitnely)! I initially hoped for Friday, but noted that was just a probably, sorry for any confusion.

----------------

• #2 : Sunday 6/11/2017 stream : Archived Twitch stream footage 
• #1 : Tuesday 5/16/2017 stream : 2017-05-10 20:04:30 +0000 UTC View Post

That "Batman toon" ... it's done. I know, I can't believe it either!

A short story that I have not shared on twitter, facebook, or youtube ... but because  some of you were around when I started this cartoon so many years ago while I was still living in Minnesota, I felt this was the best place to share.

The animation kept getting pushed back due to so many other things in my life cropping up, including (but not limited to): work, getting a divorce, moving from MN to PA, starting sleepy cabin, more work, my grandmother passing, more work, sleepy cabin endi...

PawnPawn : More characters + Poster drawing!

Quickly and firstly, congrats to Clyde Cash and Robert Baxter-Ricketts fer the monthly random drawing! I shot you guys emails :)

--------

Pawn Pawn updates!

In other news, there's really only one more character needed to complete the character set for episode 1, so I'll be streaming again to nail that down.

I've spoken with an artist I trust to really amp up the stylization and solidify the character designs that will be used...

PawnPawn Character Designs #1

I've posted some of these to twitter in the past (though these are updated) ... I will likely be making a few more adjustments before getting another artist to assist, but next up is Mr. T and Boss Lady. 

After that, we'll have another stream to sort out the first "customer" design, as well as potentially Pawner X and Rohi (the anti-hero/Hiro).

March, oh March. What a March ... AND MORE!

So here's a public video about what I've been up to this last month. HOWEVER, I'm make a private video just for patrons getting a bit more intimate about what's been going on. So expect that this weekend! 

I'll also be announcing the randomized poster/gift recipients at that time, as well <3

ALSO, now that the development of a couple longer form projects has begun, I will be using the Patreon feed (this feed) as our "dev blog". Yes, I post stuff on twitter, but that shit gets los...

Full Sails Ahead

It's been a long time coming... but it's finally time to move ahead. 

Some stuff I did not share in the video : I basically finished/dropped all projects outside of content creation. I had some freelance design/web work hovering about like vultures, but I shot those bozos outta the flappin' sky: and the seas ahead are clear (as they can be)...

Projects I'm finishing in the BG : 

• - Plague Doctors, Rats
• - Batman Ar...

the event horizon approacheth ya'll

Since I started the Patreon a few years ago, my most common mantras y'all heard/read time and time again, "One more month ... almost there ... after this, I'll finally be able to ..."

Con apprearances, long-standing work deadlines, a divorce, a business, a death, three moves across the country later ... 2017 was meant to start with a line up of new long-awaited projects and a merciful send off of older projects.

Well here I am, 3 years and a million promises later, saying it again. "One...

in da closet again

friends, comrades, sexy flippin sexxers!

More updates!!!

What was NOT mentioned in the video was that after the New Year, we're goin full steam ahead into some larger-scale projects. That is my new year's resolution, and I'd appreciate it (as long term supporters) that you hold me to it!

Pawn Pawn Oversale is a the main one that we'll be collabing on together (Patrons and I), and there's a couple other larger projects too, but feel free to hold me over the fire or under the ...

We all up in December

The random number gods have selected Nathan Wall and Samakin Pie as November's poster recipients.

For Christmas, I would like to send a poster to everyone who's been supporting for the past year. Honestly, I'd love to just give everyone a poster, but international shipping is a Hadouken to the gut. Should be good news for everyone, considering it will eat up more slots: making getting a poster (for those that don't/won't already have one) much more probable! 2016-12-05 17:07:33 +0000 UTC View Post

Update <3

As I mentioned, I wanted to start making personal updates for you guys (and the folks that follow on social media) ... I figure you guys along with the social folks are the most likely to be actually interested in what's up <3

Finishing up some larger voicing projects, and will get to them animated shorts. Really just wrap up, as well as one new project (kinda). BUT I will begin the brain  storming process for a number of larger projects as well.

Pretty sure, morning isn't the be...

Posters on the way <3

Mailing out those posters today. Missing a couple people's addresses, hopefully they got the emails... but yer on the list and ye didn't get confirmation on da pooster, shoot me a dm <3

Schedule is starting to look a little more normal (OF COURSE RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS lol), but new projects are in the wings.

Thank you guys for everything, I know I say that all the time, but with Thanksgiving looming just around the corner, it feels oh so much more appropriate.

Enough Rollin', Time to Rock

My dearies and dearos, let us begin with haste!Starting next week, I'd like to keep y'all updated with weekly quick vid-updates. Nothing fancy, no Florentine Reach-Arounds or Brazilian fart orgies, just plain ol' vanilla pizza.

------------------------------

The purpose: to recap on projects and upcoming whatevers, just to keep y'all in the loop.  Will they be public? Ehhhhhhhh... We'll see.  Public or not, they will be directed at you, for you...

On the Road : Output and the Plan

I left Philadelphia on August 11 to perform a showing of LORE live in Los Angeles. I packed for the day and a half I thought I would be out West. 

I have since been to Seattle, Vancouver, Burbank, and San Diego. It's now September 28, and I'm still carrying everything I got in 2 computer bags.

I have attempted to remain productive and creative, though it's been difficult with the travel, family matters, house hunting, industry and social events, and (most impactful) not having my wo...

The series I'd like to start after a few projects and the move to Burbank.

Not really afraid of anyone snagging the idea, as I already have most of the episodes planned out, and honestly, who cares, this is ours.

PAWN PAWN OVERSALE

Hiro Hayabusa is forced to run his uncle's pawn shop when his uncle calls in sick.

The pawn shop, "Pawn Pawn Oversale", is like any ordinary pawn shop, just old and filled with old shit. Also an old man who sleeps in the front (who turns out to be a friend of Hiro's uncle).

A colorful cast of assholes (incl...

Ricepirate Update : August - October

Zippy-Dippy so much to share! 

For those of you who've followed my journey from Minnesota to Philly, you know that the last couple years (which happen to be the same years I started this Patreon) have been absolutely batty: divorce, cross country moving, starting a business, ending a business, and oh so much more.

Well, 2016 just doesn't stop droppin the heat (apparently for most of the world lol). 

Here's the current state of our adventure...

Ricepirate Posters :D

So the very first merch I've knocked out for Ricepirate. The colors are a little wonky in this version, however a new batch was printed up and I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

As a reminder, 1 poster will be going to anyone who is a patron (in a randomized lottery). Another poster will be going to a patrons 10+ (same system). 

I'll do the drawing this week and let you all know. I have plans for a number of other posters, not specifically Ricepirate-brand related, but related to proje...

Lots of Updates, the Plan, and I love you.

Managing numerous accounts and projects has made dedicating my time to everything difficult. But steps are being taken to change all that.  

As some of you know, I'm moving to Burbank, CA (from Philly). Philadelphia has been a great place to get back on my feet since the divorce (still fucking pending via courts lol), but it's time to take all of this more seriously.   

Here's a breakdown of what's up (in no order of priority):

Fer all you sexy folks <3 (and those currently in the crew)

Here's a new discord chat link : https://discord.gg/eqng2

Please do keep this amongst the group. I love meeting new people as I'm sure plenty of you folks do too, but the purpose of our discord is to have a place for us to chat. Nice and private, warm and cozy <3

Also, lots of new patreon updates coming in the next few days! 

Superhugs, my sexy thangs. Talk soon!
