Kuro here. I had the urge to share this to the Patreon chat in Discord, but it made me realize how often I do that instead of making actual posts. Have ya'll been connecting your Discord accounts for the full Ink Tank Patron experience? We post a lot of smaller updates, there, along with interacting with the community more directly. 

We also are still streaming every 1st and 3rd Friday of the m...

Video Work Update: Pokemon

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

Small update this week as we are in the too spoiler-y phases of our larger projects. This week, another sneak peek at the ancient Pokemon video. 

Real life sloths are known to accidently collect algae on their fur over time due to how slowly the move. What would this result with in the Pokemon world? An Ancient Grass type Slakoth maybe?

General Update

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

With the Art Production for Ledger Domain finished, Ash has more free time to work on a few various things we've had on the back burner for a while.

1) We are working on updating the Minecraft Server; as some may know we have been having several issues with the server in the last few months and that the Wilds update has also released.  We will be attempting to salvage t...

As art production comes to a finish we are officially starting the post production! Meaning it is time to hand all assets over to Kuro for editing. We'll be trying to get this episode out as soon as possible so be expecting an official release date announcement very soon. 

On a secondary note; though Ash was cast into the void specifically to finish production for this episode, we are gon...

And Beyond Update

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS For those unaware, the last 2 weeks Ash has been taking a break from streaming and is staying offline in order to finish art production for the newest episode of And Beyond: Ledger Domain and due to that we are in the final stretch!

Art production is currently sitting at 80% finished! At the current pace we are hoping to have art production finished by the end of this month at a lat...

5YL UPDATE #105: Big Ben's A Big Boi

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

Chapter 12 is chucking along! Over 20 pages in various stages of production so far. Praying for an end-of-summer release if all things go well. Lots of great progress. Here's a background-less page to take a peak at! Final effects pending. 

5YL Update #104: A Secret Trick

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

I feel like I may have mentioned this on a stream once, but I've only recently found the picture again.

When doing Chapter 11, I had trouble drawing The Void from this downward angle, but I really wanted this shot to show how Future Fenton saw The Void fighting Technus from his perspective. 

To help myself, I made a reference by taking a plastic skull I got from a Halloween party a few years...

Tier 2+: The Battle Continues

Quick Video Update

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

This past week I've been tackling a lot of the backlogged Patron Commission work so this is a bit smaller of an update. 

We've stated previously that with this And Beyond episode that we are upping the visuals alot; one of those ways are with some classic close up gross out shots.
What's got this guy looking like this? Well you'll have to find out when the episode releases.

And Beyond Art Production chugs along! Now sitting at a straight split, with 50% of all art finished. 

With this episode featuring Horas interacting directly with characters, we are making more individualized scene style backgrounds rather than just landscape shots you would normally see in other episodes. With these types of backgrounds, because they need details to really feel filled out, we hav...

Thumbnail Experiments

Making a shorter video this week while we focus more on the big projects.  It's a video picking out every clip source from the Classic, Alien Force, and Ultimate Alien openings. Trying to make the perfect thumbnail.

Not 100% satisfied with any of these, but figured I'd show my work in progress. What do you think so far? Try looking at them small, or from far away, and see which one peaks your interes...

NEW VIDEO PROJECT PREVIEW - Genderbent Characters

PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANY INFO OR IMAGES TO NON-PATRONS

Figured we'd give you a pretty spicy update - Kuro will be guest-starring in an episode of The Drawing Matrix with our first episode not revolving around Ultimate Aliens. 

Don't worry, Ash will be digging into those DNA mines soon, but for now, we challenged ourselves to create gender-bent versions of Ben 10 characters - both Classic and Teenage - completely improvised on the spo...

Quick update this week. With Ash going full focus on And Beyond's art production we are currently 30% finished with overall art production. With this episode we are breaking up our regular production routine a bit. Rather than waiting till Ash is completely finished with ALL art before starting the editing process, we are instead going section by section throughout the episode. While Ash doe...

During general art production and animation sometimes characters will usually need to be streamlined or tweaked a bit to make the work process a bit easier. On that note here is the up to date model of an original character CurseCrafter we originally revealed back in December. Included are some alternate outfits for some bits she'll be doing in the episode.
