Fax Jam

Post Chippie Update!

Hi!

Took a bit of a break there after that big beast of a project but now I'm back to manage things whilst I find work on the side.

So to update you all, I'll be putting up a behind the scenes vid on my scene transitions hopefully tomorrow and then after that adding some more bits and pieces to this page.

Aside from that I have...

THE CHIPFORK MURDERS (EARLY SHOWING)

It's been a while since I uploaded a new cartoon so I hope this is worth the wait.

The Chipfork Murders (Who did it 2) started as a 4 minute follow up to the first one but ended up being a cartoon pilot episode in length - definitely assembling a team for the next part.

So excited to finally share this exclusively with you all until ...

Who Did It 2 Early Showing!

So I was going to post some behind the scenes stuff but instead have decided I'll give you guys a screening of the new Who Did It!

It's been done for about a week tbh and I have just been fine tuning it but I have to leave it alone now or I could be fixing it forever lol

I'll post it at around 6pm GMT so in about 6 hours on here, the...

Epic tape recorder breakdown

Thought I'd pick one of the last shots to show my thought process making it. The shot is very simple and whilst making it I wanted to reuse as much in the way of drawings as possible whilst also keeping it looking somewhat hand drawn and organic.

I have a tape recording device moving into shot here. The first thing I do is draw a very sket...

Getting shots done in Who did it 2

Lots to update on in regards to next cartoon. I'm in the final tweak editing stage now so will have Who Did it 2 out this coming week for you all to see before public release! 

I'm very hyped to show you all this cartoon, it was a mess of a production just given how certain bits had to be remade at a late stage and also finding time t...

Long overdue update

Hi everyone!

It's been ages since I posted updates on here, sorry for the complete silence. Haven't been managing my time at all well this year and the added Patreon tasks I set myself when I added the tiers were just too much on top of everything.

What I'm going to do is revert the Patreon back to being more of a tip jar type thing ...

Who Did it 2 Progress

Ello,

Who Did It 2 is well under way now with the animatic finished and the backgrounds in full swing. I'm going to alter the colour palettes and brighten a couple up at some point but I'm pleased with the direction it's heading in at least.

I also have a mini background video showing my process that I'm hoping to upload tomorrow, wa...

Back again and Who Did it 2!

Hi everyone, I'm back working on cartoons again! Was hoping that after my last supposed return to working on FaxJam stuff I'd be here to stay but things didn't work out so well.

Back to it now though! I should now be caught up with all commissions for you guys and will continue uploading flash files and other behind the scenes stuff over t...

Back to work!

Hey!

Just an update on where I'm at with everything since I haven't had as much time as I hoped for my usual faxjam stuff the past three weeks.

Had to finish off some separate freelance work to keep on top of bills and stuff for the month but now fully back to it!

over the next week or so I plan to

-finish off a couple co...

Animation test (sorry for cursed thumbnail)

Just a lil test with the new computer to see how it is to animate with.

I have no idea what this is really tbh, sorry for the fear and confusion it may cause

They've updated Animate with loads of new brushes and stuff too which I'll have to incorporate into a video at some point, might be a real game changer for animations.

Bac...

I'm back up and running!

Finally back up and running with a mobile studio 13 and have succesfully tested it with naked man in grass! My last device couldn't be saved for a price that was worth it so I eventually decided to grab a new model which I used Patreon and Merch funds to help pay for - thanks so much to all of you for helping with that!

Now I will properly...

Small Update! - Kirby has killed my computer

Just a quick update, my tablet computer looks like it's on its way out (I think that Kirby animation was the final straw for it). It's having a few issues such as retaining battery life that looks like it'll cost almost as much to fix as it will to replace the device.

Whatever happens, I shouldn't be held up too much from this since I will...

FaxJammer Tier Commissions (Update)

Hi!

Thanks to all who have selected a tier and pledged to the page recently, it's really encouraging and means so much. 

I've just finished refining the Commission reward from the Faxjammer tier so it's as clear as possible what it is.

If you select the tier you can commission me for a character design piece of artwork bas...

Update (Patron Tiers)

Hey!

So I've been spending the past few days getting things ready to set up Patron tiers on this Patreon Page. 

I've actually got the bare bones in place so will be sending out a message to everyone tonight prompting them to select a tier - I assumed it would automatically add you to your relevant tiers depending on current pled...

Tifa Lockhart wet noodle fiasco

Got held up a bit but here is a mini toon of Tifa Lockhart and the wet noodle fiasco of 22.

I don't know what Italy is in case anyone was going to ask, if this is connected to recent events it's pure coincidence.

I'll reupload with Patron credits and a proper end card and thumbnail tomorrow as usual!

Mini Cartoon tomorrow and Jojo 3 next week!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update, I have a mini cartoon out tomorrow which I'll briefly put on here tomorrow morning before making public and then I'll be back to finishing off the next Jojo episode!

I did promise some behind the scenes stuff and other sneak peeks also so will get on that this coming week as well as finally getting P...

First day back on Jojo Condensed

I've been sorting through what I have ready for the second ep and have begun tweaking some bits of animation ready for when I lip sync the characters!

For Polnereff's entrance I want to give him a little bit more character animation so will save a breakdown of that when I work on it this week (it'll show, storyboard, key poses, colour, sha...

Bonus Cartoon! (from the pre pandemic distant past)

Hi,

Hope you're all well, I just dug up a cartoon I uploaded on Feb 2nd 2020 and didn't publish publicly at all for some reason. 

Not sure why I did that but here it is! The hidden first cartoon on my channel, was made before the masks and lockdowns with me spending a single hour on it each night after a long day workin a 9 to 5...

Discord! - Patron section

Noticed a couple of people were confused as to how to get onto the Patron section of the Discord. 

If you join the server     https://discord.gg/SRYXT43VGm

and then DM me with your Patreon username and I can give you the Patron role to join...

Jojo 3 (1) Final Version with Patron Credits

The public version of the Stardust Condensers cartoon is uploading in about an hour!

Some of you much newer Patrons won't be on the credits for this one but fear not since I'll include you in the next vid

I tweaked some sound and other bits partially for copyright reasons but it's pretty much the same thing.

Now onto something ...

Welcome new Patrons!

Just finished the new thumbnail for the Stardust Condensers cartoon, Dio doesn't feature too much in this one but I'd thought I'd slap him down in the foreground there since he's such a recognisable fella. 

The second Stardust Crusaders cartoon is about half way animated with some additional voices and other bits I'm waiting for befor...

JoJo Stardust Condensers 1 (early showing)

Well it's finally here! 

Took way longer to get around to finishing it than I hoped but I'm pretty pleased with the final thing. As mentioned before, I'm doing the story in 3 minute animations throughout the year since my schedule isn't as consistent as last year but I think this way is for the best to keep my channel alive and buzzin...

Stardust Condensers 1: Out this weekend for Patrons!

Hope everyone had a good new year!

Finally finished the next Jojo condensed cartoon. As I've mentioned before I'm animating this one in smaller parts throughout the year between other content and this is the first one.

I'm really pleased with how it's turned out so I'm excited to show you all, just need to tweak some sound tomorrow e...

Lip Sync Done (well almost) and Merry Christmas!

Hey!

Was hoping to continue updates this past week or so but have been a bit busier with work and usual Holiday season stuff than I anticipated.

Thankfully though I have received almost all the voice files from the various voice actors for the SDC condensed project and have done a huge chunk of the lip sync for it. Just waiting on th...

Simple Backgrounds

Here are a few backgrounds I've been working on for the upcoming cartoon, they are very simple but also the most satisfied I've been with any background I've worked on in recent cartoons.

I have used some of the process of a couple of these for the colour tutorial I have on the back burner (which fell apart a bit) and I've been recollectin...

Jojo 3 Update: Quick walk cycles

Hi!

Thought I'd show a shot I'm working on at the moment where I have all the main characters walking out of shot in a comical fashion and looking grumpy.

The main issue I encountered with this shot when I approached animating it was that it looked like a lot of work to have so many main characters moving on screen at once. So I deci...

Some action shots! Jojo 3 update sneak peeks

Another update on the upcoming cartoon!

I'm working away on the next vid and have changed my process up a bit with this one; I am getting a load of shots finished up and coloured even though about half of it isn't fully animated yet. It's mostly just simple action shots without lip sync where I'm doing this.

The reason I'm doing it t...

Jojo 3 - Animation test!

Hi again!

Back to show the animation test for this cartoon which I made today. I took the shot of Dio walking up the beach as seen in the storyboards yesterday and then made a really rough looking dumpy malformed scribble stumble it's way along the scene as reference.

For the reference animation I keep things super loose so I can eas...

Where I've been + Cursed mini cartoon

Hey!

Been a few weeks since I've been online to check social media and update the Patreon and stuff; I went to Italy last month to catch up with old friends after not being able to travel the last couple years because of some cold going around or something.

The initial plan was to keep running things as usual whilst travelling but it...

the internet funny

I'm all moved in now and have finally been able to finish this short one off! 

I don't know what the thought process behind this one even was tbh, I just liked the idea of this unusual guy pitching his meme.

It was all just a white blank background until today where I slapped on a pink and blue gradient which changed the entire ...
