Thank you for supporting Gildedguy this past month.
This poster is obviously a celebratory one, since Invincibility Knight recently won the Twitch Animation contest! I had to do a lot of posing to get the hands to look right.
You can kind of tell the story behind this one: our nameless player has finally hit a personal best record for speedrunning his game! Of course, it is still night time where he's at, cause he's hardcore.
Attached are HD versions of this mo...

This animation releases tomorrow, but I thought I'd give the Patrons a surprise gift!
Please enjoy!

About a week ago, a viewer told me about the Twitch Animation Contest . It seems to be an promo by Twitch to encourage animators to stream more on their platform.
Since I already stream on Twitch frequently, I've decided to go for it! There is a grand prize, and I think I have a small chance!
So I've temporarily paused work on Gilded...

Hi all!
I just wanted to let you know that I've enabled Patreon's new "Charge Up-front" feature for processing pledges. It'll help give new Patrons access to rewards much quicker. Existing pledges will not be affected:
New Patrons: New patrons will be charged on the day they become your patron, giving them access to all content shared with their reward tier. On the 1st of the following month, they will simply return to being charged monthly at the be...

Thank you for supporting Gildedguy this past month.
I got the idea for this picture from my early brainstorming stages for Basement Busk. I was gonna animate Gildedguy walking through a large dressing room, with multiple performers getting ready for the show.
I eventually had to reduce the number of characters for timing reasons, which lead to Penny being the sole performer. Well, she's not the only part of the basement. Penny, the Basement Boss, the bartender, the pian...

A day ago we received enough support to match what I had earned off of tips on my live stream! $300/mo is the amount that really encouraged me to go all-in on creating these projects back in August.
Since the last milestone (2 months ago), 22 new patrons have joined us. I've already started releasing those speed paints, so expect them to come out every month.
Let the race towards the next milestone (sustainable full-time commitment) begin! And the only way ...

1. You can pick as many choices as you want, but 2-3 choices gives me the best data.
2. Although it's not the deciding factor, the more popular projects can be prioritized higher on my backlog.
3. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments.
Thanks!

Here's a quick compilation of all the fanart we've received for 2016!
The channel has really been growing. I'm sure the Patreon speed paints have helped with that, thank you all for your support!

Ever since I released the Falcomaster video, I've been drafting up ideas for a full series. My biggest hurtle is putting together the main plot threads in the story. But I'm having a ton of fun designing the characters!
I hope to start actual producing the episodes after Gildedguy vs. Bog. Note that it won't be in the typical 20 minute animated episode format, it'll be something a bit more interactive.

Progress on the fight is slightly behind schedule, but the quality is turning out better than expected. This particular scene took me a few days.
Hopefully I can speed up as I get more comfortable animating all those little gloopy blobs!

December was a great month, got a lot of work done. Thank you for supporting me throughout it.

Thank you to the patrons who helped fund this poster and speed paint!
This time I wanted to do some "concept art" of an animation battle I may do against a favorite RHG of mine named Mar. The creator of Mar is one of the best stick animators right now, so seeing Gildedguy face off against him is really enticing to me!
In this scene, villagers of Mar's town have stolen some of Gildedguy's armor throughout the battle. It's not everyday that a walking piggy bank passes by your h...

This is a clip from my next animation "Gildedguy vs Bog". I'm working on a full blog post detailing what it's about, but in the meantime, please enjoy some WIP shots/gifs.
It's gonna be a unique (but still Gildedguy-esque!) style of animation:

Thanks to the talented work of Strelok, we've got a new version of Gildedguy vs Jade (which was released a year ago!).
I think it gives the animation a more complete, short-film-y experience. It's definitely a different vibe from my normal music animations, so check it out!
P.S. You can also look at Strelok's other resounds on his YouTube channel:

A lot of viewers on the channel seem to be very happy there is more content to watch. Do note that the high-res download of posters are still exclusive to Patrons with the HD Downloads reward.
December is already here, so expect another speed paint video for this month's poster soon.

Thank you guys for supporting me this past November.
Attached are HD versions of the December poster/wallpaper, featuring Gildedguy and a family of mice.
I have a couple hours of drawing footage that I want to turn into a speed paint video for this, so keep an eye out for that!
Also, do you guys mind at all if I use a cropped version of this wallpaper for my website? I ask this because then the wallpaper wouldn't be as exclusive anymore. You can PM me your feedba...

Here's a quick WIP of an animation of Jade, using the new lighting styles I learned from Basement Busk.
It is always a joy animating her hair!

Here's the rough, cleanup, and color filled phases for one of the most complicated scenes from Basement Busk.
The scene from start to finish took me a solid week!
I didn't live stream any of the work since I wanted to keep it a nice surprise.

Today we received enough support to cover side costs of animated projects!
Having a basic budget every month is very important to production.
A big thank you to all 15 of you.

Yesterday, we hit the goal for Milestone #1, which was to provide enough support to keep Gildedguy.com alive. That means the hosted art and articles will be saved on the internet for all to enjoy for the time being.
All thanks to my 10 very special patrons. We're already close to the next milestone (covering production costs)!

Thank you for your support!
This painting took me around 20-something hours to finish. It's the first illustration I've done in quite a while. I chose a scene that I feel represents Gildedguy's, Jade's, and Fry's mood towards each other after their encounter in GGvJade.
I plan on featuring the drawing of this in a speed paint video (You guys will still have the exclusive access to the HD worthy version).
The resolution is VERY high, so making a poster print of this should no...

First off, thank you for being here. It's very exciting to see that people are willing to support my creations.
Although there are not many here yet , I hope there'll be many more joining us over the next several months.
Some quick updates about the Rewards - I'm still getting used to the in's and out's of Patreon.
- Scrap work download should be the post prior to this one
