I wanted a sinister surfy sound for the Teal Mist theme, I mostly used the instruments from the tense conversation track in Sweet Boy Beach. I like the chillwave drum kit.
Fernando's Dairymancer theme is a simple repetition, I made it as a placeholder but it was so suitable I didn't end up changing much about it.

This is the story of a young upstart challenging a veteran for sexy man clout. My goal was to finish it in 4 weeks and I did it in a shade under. I've tried to write short fight scenes with threadbare premises for the purposes of fun short projects before, I think this one clicks nicely. It's not intended to be the first of a series or anything like that, but if you'd like to see more eccentric manwhore battles let me know. I chose to make it because surfshark asked me...

I'm aiming to finish the Dairymancer short at the end of this week. Tomorrow I will finish the animation, and then I have 4 days to finish the music, sfx, 2 new board member drawings and also an ad read for Surfshark.
One of the last things I have to animate is Fernando walking away from camera with an ass wiggle double bounce shown above. I actually don't know if I can pull it off, walk cycles in general are easy for me but walking to and from camera is harder, and...

The above video is a work in progress, it is just to show the voice of the archer elf on the right. I didn't expect that he would turn out to be Australian but the voice actor Business Orc tried this voice and it's funny (he's American btw). It reminds me of the elves in the Dota cartoon if you've seen that, there was this squad of 4 elves and they all sounded Australian ...

I changed the name from Ambush to The Stench of Failure. Much better title! My other title idea is Big and Wet but that is not as relevant to the story as these two, so I'm pretty sure it will stay as The Stench of Failure.
The settings are quite varied in previous Meth Orcs, for this one I imagined it taking place in a nice country side with green hills and blue skies. They are following a trail through grass with forest on either s...

This one took me a while to unpick and find an order that works. I think it would be a bit dull if it didn't have the melodic bridge parts but I didn't come up with them until near the end. I like that there were so many gross grandpa suggestions because of the aborted grandpa song in the cartoon. That kind of chaotic seeping is one thing I love about the collab projects.

I intended to make this sooner, what delayed me was figuring out how to extend the track. Hopefully this is interesting enough to watch.
You may have already seen the first 30 seconds I posted it a while back, I didn't want to post shots that included gnomes at the time to avoid spoilers.

Quite a few people asked for this tune to be extended and I wanted to make an extended version of the work in progress video for the entire Uncle Warren forest scene. I felt I needed to break it down in the middle, mostly because I like the subsequent buildup, hopefully it is satisfying for the people who liked the short version of this track. I don't do them often but I like programming intricate keytar-style solos they're quite fun.

This is the first scene of Fernando and Gooseman's adult film up until the adult part (It's all the manwhore guild will allow us to show.).
If you want to see the rest you'll have to sail out to international waters and even then I can't promise anything.
Is it because Gooseman did not use guild actors or is it because the film is too sexy and the guild is only trying to protec...

Made this quick one with my Gooseman's jamboree assets from a year ago. I still think this series idea is solid even though neither of the music videos (Earthly Pleasure and Purrnando) did well. But perhaps it suits more of a lofi approach, I'll see what suggestions people write for the 5 dolla song and how it progresses but I do not plan to make a full on music video for it.

The premise of this scene is that Gooseman wants to pivot to making content for zoomers and Fernando wants to know what they like so he can appeal to them.
One thing that will probably stick out to you is the art Fernando is looking at. I'm hoping that I'll be able to have a mosaic tile censored version on youtube, with an uncensored version on Newgrounds. I uploaded an unlisted censored version and it didn't set off their adult content algos so who knows I might ge...

Here's the extra scenes for Gooseman Runs for Office I storyboarded but decided not to animate.
They weren't part of the original script but I felt like there were too many lizard threads thrown out there and not worked with, so I attempted an ending that would resolve them. However, in my opinion it didn't improve the cartoon enough for me to justify animating them. I read Hajime No Ippo recently which if you don't know it is a boxing manga (it's awesome btw check it...
