This month's comedy sketch

Sooo 'Small Door To Door Salesman Named Kevin' is live exclusively to Patrons and so now onto to the next Patreon exclusive video! Which would you like me to make next?

Small Door To Door Salesman Named Kevin

Catchy title right? So in this PATREON EXCLUSIVE comedy sketch the Small Men Named Kevin are back! And this time they're attempting to sell their wares door to door. I thoroughly enjoyed making this very silly video and I can only apologise for all the aforementioned silly. It was a lot of fun to revisit the Kevins again and it definitely won't be the last we see of them! Hope you enjoy it and I'll put the poll up for the next sketch for you to vote on right away! As ever thanks so much ...

The Limb Fairy

Here's the early Patreon preview of The Limb Fairy just for you! You may recognise the fairy puppet from my scrapped christmas video (now with arms!) finally he got his chance to shine! It goes live on the main channel tomorrow! Enjoy! 

Patreon comedy sketch

Hey there, so I had a little idea to try something different for February's Patreon video. I thought that maybe instead of a vlog I could make a comedy sketch just for you guys! It might be a bit less polished than a normal one for my main channel, but thought it could be a fun thing to try out? What do you think?  So I wanted to let you guys chose what the first one could be about. 

This Stuff Happened In January 2024

Hey there! Here's January's update vlog for you all! I've been working on a lotta props this month and here I show you some footage of them and chat about stuff. You know the deal by now! Cheers, Will 

Weekly update time!

Hey there! So I thought I'd share this weekly update with my free members as well for once, so you all can experience the absolute adrenaline filled rush for yourselves! So this week I've been ploughing through with the props for my next food themed video, which I should be filming in a week or two! Exciting! The props are looking great (IMO) and are like 80% of the way through now! I've been painting up the little torso mouth and adding some blood coloured resin to this cute little ancient e...

Weekly update time!

Hey there! So here we have some WIP images of a lovely happy demon head and what appears to look like some kind of tiny meaty fish... I will be stuffing said fish thing with butter. That's a clue as to what the video will be about, but not a very good one if I'm honest. I've finished the miniature alter set and now starting to paint up the mouth torso that I started sculpting in last may... damn. Getting very close to filming now. The video will be up next month and I thank you all so much fo...

What I'm working on now!

Hey there! So this week I'm neck deep in puppet and prop building for an upcoming new food video! As you can see there's a beautiful milk dispensing teat demon and some of the plumbing required to make the teats fully functional and capable of dispensing said milk. There's also a lovely meaty extrusion that will be erupting from a chest cavity in a not so subtle The Thing homage and then an attempt at some miniature scenery where I have constructed a alternate dimensional landscape out of foa...

New Year, New Me(at Puppets)

Well hello there, I thought I'd take a walk to give you a little update from a bridge that was drowning. If you fancy a rambling update letting you know what my plans are for the first part of the year on this channel, interspersed with some making of footage from last year then look  no further than this video! There's also puddles and a dog.  

Scrapped Chrustmus Video - Kiss Me Under The Mistletoe

So I ended up filming part of my Chrustmus for last year and thought I'd edit what I'd shot for you guys to see. I ran out of time to finish the video ahead of Chrustmus and I do feel after watching the edit back I made the right decision in scrapping it. It was rushed and not that great and I really didn't dig my performance in it. But here it is for you to see! And yes I do have a black eye in the footage I filmed... Enjoy! 

Next monster lore video?

So which monster would you all like to see a lore video made on next? I'll choose the most popular one from the comments and make a video on them next, I was personally thinking maybe the burrow monster or the santa creature from 'Grotto' but I'd like to make whatever you all want to see the most!! 

Scrapped Christmas video script - 'Under the Mistletoe'

Hi there! So the last few months have been just a lil' a bit crazy, what with Buffer Festival and everything else going on, but I have managed to produce two videos that I've felt the most proud of  out of anything I've made in the past year! However I just straight up ran out of time to make my Chrustmus video this year! On the plus side I have a load of props and a massive monster that can be repurposed for a video early in the new year. I thought you might want to see the script of wh...

Monster Analysis and Lore Video series

The first in my series of monster lore and analysis videos is live on my Patreon page for Level 3 and above Patrons! This one explains everything that is known about the Bird and Bird House from 'Don't Feed Them'! I'm going to making one of these with each new video on my channel, breaking down all that is known about these monsters and I'll also be revisiting some of my older monsters and expanding on their lore. These videos will be exclusively for Patreons you can also vote on which old mo...

Bird and Bird House: Monster Analysis

Hi there! 

So this is first of my monster analysis/lore videos, which breaks down any known information on the Bird and Bird House from 'Don't Feed Them'. Little is known about these weird creatures but I have documented all that we do. Just remember to not give bread to mysterious bird houses and if you do, to always keep one eye on the skies! 

 This was a lot of fun and I shall be making more of them very soon and then with each new video that is released! I'm als...

The Burrow

So here it is! My entry into the Buffer Film Festival! This one was a lot of work and was a bit of a mad rush, but it all seemed to come together at the last minute! I ended up covering the entire of my studio floor with soil for this and the creature itself was like 5 feet tall, my largest yet! But yeah pretty happy with how it turned out and Buffer was a blast! As ever thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy it! Cheers, Will 

What I'm working on now!

Hi there! Just wanted to share with you some behind the scenes images of what I've been working on this week! I've been frantically trying to film and edit my short film for the Buffer Film Festival in Toronto next weekend! You could say I'm running a little late... Soooo in the sketch I stumble upon the burrow of an eldritch abomination who then ends up stealing my phone, after I accidentally catch them in a selfie, as they're camera shy. It's been a lot of fun and effort to film, I had to c...

Don't Feed Them - Behind the scenes images

Hi there! Yes it's called 'Don't Feed Them' now instead, but the renaming seemed to help with the algorithm and I'm a slave to its mysterious ever changing whims... However here are a bunch of behind the scenes pictures I snapped whilst filming that I figured you might get a kick out of. It's the only thing I can do to keep myself sane in a random woodlands at 2am on my own! A few of the images you may have seen on a YouTube Community post, but there's a load more in here I'm only sharing wit...

Don't Feed The Birds

Well hello there! Here's my new video ready for you to see ahead of the public upload today! So tis one was supposed to be a quick one I made whilst working on my video for Buffer Festival, but as it turns out it might be one I've my favourite that I've made. I think I've used it as a kind of prototype for how I'd eventually make a serious horror short and now that is something that IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Definitely going to make a horror short off of the bac of this! But anyway, hope you enjoy ...

Unused Break Up Buddy 2.0 concept drawing

Hi there! Just was looking through my old concept sketches and found this and I thought you guys might find it mildly interesting? No? Oh well no need to be so blunt. Harsh. Well anyway it's a concept sketch for the Break Up Buddy 2.0 video when the initial idea was that the buddy came with an app that allowed in app purchases. Each purchase activated an extra organic upgrade within the buddy and in the video Will (that's me) would have become obsessed with these micro transactions and overlo...

September's Monster competition!

Hi there! Apologies for not having a monster giveaway last month but it was a bit of a crazy one!

However this month's giveaway is the beautiful candy mite from Trying Candy From Different Dimensions Part 3 (I'll probably remove the actual piece of candy before shipping)!

During my research I was unable to uncover any further information on the little critter so to be in with a chance of winning them all I need you to do is to tell me some information about their life cycle!  ...

The Hermster - Outtakes

Hi there! Here are the outtakes for the The Hermster: An Invasive Species which exposes my wife as the kind of person who laughs when I near fatally wound myself on a vicious blood thirsty log! Finally! I caught her in the act! Enjoy! Cheers, Will 

The Hermster: An Invasive Species

Hi there! This is just a silly little sketch to announce the Hermster plush which goes live tomorrow! I enjoyed filming this one a lot and has really cemented my love for the Hermster! Was an honour to be called a piece of crap by him again. Hope you enjoy it! Cheers, Will 

Thank you!

Lil' weekly update

Hi there! So I was away last week on holiday, but now I'm back I'm getting ever closer to having the props finished for the next Inter-dimensional candy video! I'm hoping to have them finished in the next day or two and be filming by the end of the week! There's quite an eclectic group as you can probably see from the photos! There's still a fair amount to get finished but I'm really happy with how they're all looking so far. I'll keep you posted as I go, wish me luck...

July's Monster Giveaway Competition!

Hello there! This month's competition is a little different!

This month's monster competition prize is this beautiful Schplarbo from my video Trying Candy From Other Dimensions! So this helpful little fella is summoned by the blow of a meat whistle and with only mild grumbling he will share with you his delicious tasty mouth treat!

However not much else is know about the Schplarbo, so to win him I need you to tell me some information about him. What's his home planet? What is his ...
