A few things to cover! Firstly! I've made a couple updates to the reward tiers. The names and icons are back to being pokemon-themed, since I wanted to focus most on Pokedex Animated I figured this would work best.
$5 tier and $10 tiers have some alterations:
- The discount codes are different now and have been updated. You can find the new codes under "My Membership"
- Those in the $10 tier can now update the name they'd like in the credits without having to message me dire...

A regal beast that runs across the land with grace! Meet Arcanine this time on Pokedex Animated!
Thank you so much for your support and patience on this! ❤️ The art pack reward will be sent out in another post, and be sure to check the Discord server for more updates on my next projects!
2020-06-16 16:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi again guys!! Just a heads up - I'm changing the lowest tier from $1 to $2 soon. This is because after fees I only get to keep closer to 50 cents and even Patreon is recommending everyone change it lol. I've disabled the $1 tier and now only the $2 tier is available for new patrons.
If you are currently in the $1 tier and want to keep the rewards you will have to switch to the $2 tier, as I will be deleting the $1 tier soon. You are welcome to stay in the $1 tier but you will lose rew...

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend off (or a regular weekend if not!!), and you're all excited for the holidays!
So I just wanted to give you guys an update on what's going on with my channel. In one of my last updates I mentioned I was aiming to get out one of the two vids I'm working on before the end of the year. Plans have changed and unfortunately I'm going to be pushing back all video work until the new year.
The reason for this is twofold - first I'm very concern...

Hey guys I need your help. If you follow me on Twitter you probably saw this already but I'd like to make sure everyone sees it.
There are new rules rolling out for YouTube that could potentially ruin my channel. Due to FTC regulations YouTube is cracking down on videos of ANYTHING that could be seen as "made for kids", which could potentially include my videos. As you can see here Youtube auto-flagged most of my channel as being "kids videos".
This means my videos would:
New Cintiq arrived and works amazingly! Rarin' to go to! Back to work!!
In the downtime I took a serious think about the direction I'm going with my animations and I came up with an idea, I'll go over this another time in a patron post, so stay tuned.
Cheers everyone! Happy spooky season! 🎃

Hey guys! Sadly, my trusted Cintiq has kicked the bucket. I'm not terribly surprised tbh, I kind of treated it rough... left it running a lot. Whoops... Well! On the bright side I can upgrade to a newer model. Unfortunately this means things are going to be delayed awhile until I can get a replacement.
I'll see if I can transfer anything to working on my ipad, but I'm still new to Procreate and I work rather slow on it.
I'll let you guys know once I'm up and running again. Cheers ...

Just a cute pink friend that ravages small animals. Looks can be deceiving! Meet Sylveon this time on Pokedex Animated!
Thank you as always Patrons for your much appreciated support! As promised you guys will get to choose the next pokemon and I'll send a poll out soon. 😊
2019-08-08 18:30:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Sylveon!! Yes it's time for another eeveelution, and this one has been so highly requested I figure it's next. If you noticed I teased this choice with the poster on the wall in the last episode. 😁
I want to get this episode out a lot faster than the last one, so you guys shouldn't have to wait nearly as long.
Also: in regards to the NEXT next episode: I think I'll let you guys (Patrons) decide with a poll. :)

Just wanted to do a side-by-side for those who don't remember what the old Pokedex maps used to look like. Probably the biggest part of the graphical rehaul of my Pokedex Animated videos is the maps! The new ones take me forever but it's worth it!
Tyranitar episode is coming in the next couple days btw! 😃 I'll make another post for Patrons talking about what's coming next when that happens.
Cheers guys! 💚

Tyranitar!! This pokemon is known for rampaging and causing tons of destruction! This one was requested a bit, but mostly I just wanted to do it. 😜
I'm going to do my best to get this next episode out as fast as I can, then I'll likely start on another VGR (will give more info in another post). I'm moving in about a month so things will be slow again, so hopefully this can tide you guys over for awhile. :)
Thanks as always!

Learn about the loyal and graceful Gardevoir this time on Pokedex Animated!
Thanks to my patrons and everyone else for their patience on this one! Was set back a few times but it's finally here and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. :) I hope you all enjoy!
I'll make another update for patrons soon about what's coming up next, stay tuned!

A short scene from the upcoming Gardevoir episode! This scene is only a few seconds long but it took me a whole day to make, mostly just figuring out how the hyper beam should look and creating that. I like to strike a balance between "realistic" and cartoon / stylized with my effects so it matches my art style. It's a bit difficult since most plugins are meant for creating realistic effects, so I have to find ways to purposefully stylize them. I'm pretty happy with the results here!

The next Pokedex Animated is... Gardevoir! By popular demand! Can't say it's one of my favorite pokemon but this one was highly requested. The green onion in a dress. 😄
This one, however, doesn't have many entries, they're all very similar. To counter this I'm going to split each entry up into multiple scenes, that should help pad it out a bit. It will still end up being a bit shorter than usual but some pokemon just don't have a lot of information about them.
This is a busy time! I'm...

Hey guys! Last time I mentioned I was working on a video to advertise my Patreon, and here it is!! A bit of backstory in there and some old photos of me (the only ones I could dig up that had video games in them anyway haha). Plus! My precious sausage Parthy makes an appearance! As I mentioned at the end of the video I had a whoooole shooting session planned and then I made the dumb decision to not write a script or even take notes, leading to me awkwardly rambling for about an hour. I managed t...

It's here! The second episode of Video Games Retold!! Join Red on his Pokemon journey in my retelling of the original Red & Blue games! A great refresher for Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee!
Thanks again to all patrons for your support! And special thanks to BirdKeeperToby for his awesome narration! I hope you all enjoy this nostalgia blast! 😄
EDIT: Re-uploaded and fixed the music volume issue that some people were mentioning! Sorry about that guys! ❤ 2018-11-16 19:37:22 +0000 UTC View Post
Red and his Charizard fly over Kanto after challenging the Pokemon League, but their journey isn't over just yet!
The next Video Games Retold episode is coming TOMORROW! I hope you're all excited! The art is all finally finished, once the artwork is textured then it's just a matter of editing the video together.
I'm enabled to use Youtube Premieres, which is a new feature on Youtube that lets you premiere a video like a livestream and chat with your audience. I've never used this before ...

This one took longer than usual to finish due to upgrading all the motion graphics but it was definitely worth it!

Vaporeon is here for a summer splash! 🌊🌴
It's all done!! I hope you guys enjoy! :) With some Sun / Moon island music to set the mood. Lots of water in this episode haha.
For the next entry I'm planning to do a major rehaul on the design of the info screen and intro, so look forward to that!
Cheers guys, and thank you so much as usual!

Hey guys! Who won the eeveelution poll? So the overwhelming majority of votes were for Vaporeon! So it's officially the next episode for Pokedex Animated!
Second place seems to have gone to Eevee or Espeon.
Third, Jolteon, Sylveon.
Sadly, Glaceon, Leafeon and poor Flareon were the least popular. Two of my favorites, too! ☹ Not to worry though, I'll do them all eventually.
FIRST: An important update regarding Pokedex Animated. After some deliberation I've decided to open up the series to newer 'dex entries from recent gens including Sun / Moon. Originally, I figured newer Pokemon wouldn't have enough entries in order to make a video with but I did a couple test scripts and managed to make it work. Also, a lot of people have been asking me for newer pokemon and I felt bad that I wouldn't be doing them, so instead I decided to make it work! That said, not all pokemo...

A MEW episode of Pokedex Animated is here! 🐱🌟
A lot of new effects and techniques are debuting here! I'm learning more and more about After Effects the more I make these, so the better they get with each episode!

It's finally here! So I did decide to keep the name "Video Games Retold", here's the tagline: relive the adventure as classic video games come to life as animated storybooks!
The harrowing journey of the Chosen Undead to rekindle the First Flame... or not. Just in case it wasn't obvious: SPOILER WARNING!
Thanks so much everyone and let me know what other video games you'd like to see! :)

The next Pokedex Animated will be.... Mew!! The legendary mirage pokemon! According to the Youtube poll, many people wanted both a cute pokemon next and a legendary, so here's two birds (or cats I guess) with one stone!
By the way, my Dark Souls video will be up later today! So be ready for that. :)

Another one of my favorite (and other peoples favorite) characters, Ornstein (and buddy Smough). Quite the difficult fight! Unless you happen to have maxed out your pyromancy beforehand... but don't cheese these fellas. They deserve better.

Spring has finally sprung, so it's time to praise the sun!
And the art is almost DONE! After the art is finalized I'll be creating what will become the intro for this video series. I'm going for a storybook theme with this, so it involves putting all of this in a 3D book.
So the Dark Souls Remaster came out aaaaaaaand it sucks. Hopefully this animation makes up for that in any small way possible.
Anyway, this release looks like it's only weeks around the corner! Next up will be a n...

Nito! My favorite Dark Souls character!!
I swear I've been drawing fire in at least half of these scenes, it's EVERYWHERE. Dark Souls really has that campfire aesthetic going... or bonfire rather.

Stay tuned!
