Production Blog 🎬: Joy's Glow up!

Among all the old designs, Joy was probably the WORST to be honest. However I am very happy with how she is now! The left image is from just another Patreon post from back in the day. IMPROVEMENT

Production Blog 🎬: Hmmmm

I have an envelope deformer in Shawn's face to shift his jaw along with mouth. Then this happened. lol

Production Blog 🎬: Joy's Office. Pre/Post the hand-work

To the left is the raw render out of blender, and to the right is after I've applied, color modification, shadows, texture, etc. Now it's ready for animation!

(Btw, act 1 of 4 is completed IN FULL for Sheriff Hayseed ^^ )

Production Blog 🎬: Joy's Office Exterior

Including a little hinting at Joy's past! A photograph of the first building in Troughwater (Now the Salon) and Joy with her town co-founders. A mining group at the time

Production Blog 🎬 (Gif): Front flip Frame-by-Frame

boy this sucked, but it'll sure look cool!

From left to right you got the stages.

1. Thumbnail sketches/basic idea of motion and timing

2. Roughs

3. Clean up

Production Blog 🎬: A neat little composite!

Um

Production Blog 🎬 (Gif): A little fight segment!

OH I LIKED MAKING THIS ONE OWO

Production Blog 🎬: Good ol' smearies!

Todd does a twirl! His hands on the final pose looks funky but im pretty sure it's correct. like 80% sure...... right??

Production Blog 🎬 (Audio): A song for road trips!

Playing with an idea for a Mike and Zach short where we road trip. And every good road trip needs hippity hoppity up-beat boppity

Production Blog 🎬: I'm back. Here's some finished frames!

Production Blog 🎬: Upcoming con trip

HEYA! i'm going to Portcon in Portland, ME in a sec. That is both why i haven't been posting and probably will continue to not post until the 1st or 2nd of July? There's more to my trip but it's up in the air so we'll just wing it out. 

Stay tuned and thanks for all your continued support while I've been slowly churning out this short! <3

Production Blog 🎬: Boomstick's dumb face

ANGLES ARE HARD

upward angles were a mistake

Production Blog 🎬 (Gif): Bank explosion!

Okay so like.... I really like how this came out. lol. All hand drawn!

Production Blog 🎬: What's Todd reading??

Any suggestions?

Production Blog 🎬 (Video): Shawn's Animation Test

This is audio from me and ShadyVox (Shawn's Voice) riffing about a line!

Production Blog 🎬: Shawn's Animation Puppet!

He's also here! And check this out

2 years of practice and self exploration. It's a crazy difference. NEVER STOP IMPROVING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Production Blog 🎬 (Video): Todd's Animation Test

Audio is from Todd's VA (Eloediel) constantly screwing up a line. lol

Production Blog 🎬: Todd's Animation Puppet!

He's here! And fully animatable

Production Blog 🎬 (Gif): "FUCK"

a little animation test :)

Production Blog 🎬: Deformer galore

I rigged this background character first to figure out my puppet style for this project. I'll be doing it fairly freeform. No separated parts in the arms so I can hand-draw them and make them noodly!

Production Blog 🎬 (Gif): turn-around rig prep

well i hated making this. lol. But now I can rig them nicely! 

Production Blog 🎬: Next step! Rig prep!

storyboard done so now I'm ready to start making puppets! Voices were recently done too yeehaw

NEW VIDEO 📺: What Does Genji Have?

a shitpost haha

Production Blog 🎬: All the characters with full names!

I finally gave everyone last names. lmao. Here's some fun facts!

- "Hayseed" was originally gonna be "Tumbleweed" but Sheriff Tumbleweed is an MLP character

- "Burrowitz" is Burro (for donkey) and Witz (because he might be jewish???)

- "Hackney" is a horse that's suitable for work :)

- "Herdwick" is a breed of sheep that Lloyd is not

- Sylvester is a dumped design but I named him anyway because I love him

- "Huck Hickman" came from a cowboy name generator 2019-06-04 13:31:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Production Blog 🎬: more cast redesigns!

Todd, Shawn, and Joy haven't been adjusted TOO much here. A couple things here and there to clean them up.

Then on the right, Boomstick is all the hell different, as is Lloyd.

Lloyd is in a vest now because i think it better fit the time period? dunno. Might change it later.

Oh yeah and that dude bro looking horse on the right might just be Background? He was supposed to have a role...

Thanks to June Patrons, and GOOD NEWS

so basically i finished the storyboard for this sheriff hayseed short today (unnamed)

Tuned to amateur voice acting it clocks in at right about 10 minutes long

and includes over 800 individual boards

I'll definitely need some filler content for youtube while i actually uh.... animate this, ...

Production Blog 🎬: Sunset in Troughwater

a developmental test of hand-drawn shading, instead of letting Blender handle it. Here's the flat! Line art (though altered) was still done in Blender. I'd say this example is rough but I will probably be hand shading all the backgrounds

Production Blog 🎬: hey B)

so here's where we're at, where each frame is a board (about 700 out of 750, minus writing dialogue!!!!)

got me like

Production Blog 🎬: BORED OF BOARDS YET? HERE'S MORE
