Ben Head Turn

Team Teen is back in production, and first thing I'm doing is making a rig of Ben Tennyson. Like the update I did for the Steven rig, it's meant to speed up the production process, so I won't have to redraw the face as much. Things like the eyes, ears, eyebrows, nose, and the hair on the back of his head will look pretty much the same at multiple a...

Cartoon Cafe: The Pilot

The password is diner

Well here we are! Our first new cartoon since June! Cartoon Cafe will consist of new gags, old gags from the comics, and ideas suggested by viewers!

Although I'm really excited about the project, I'm more cautious about the projects I invest time on than ever, so outside of Team Teen and non-Dtoons rel...

Gumball Steps on Lego

For the upcoming Cartoon Cafe episode.

Originally it was going to have Conroy Cat accidentally step on them, but the voice actor is still unavailable. Plus, people have been wanting me to feature Gumball in Team Teen, but since he wouldn't really fit in that, I figured this would be the next best thing.

Going Forward, or TL;DR More Team Teen

Hey guys, it's been a while!

My deal with Yo Mama may be coming to a close, but I'm actually hoping that the deal will be renewed in the future, with the hopes of getting to animate on the main series.

But like all freelance deals, further employment is not guaranteed, so during our off times I decided to focus on my channel's most popular ...

What are You Interested in Supporting?

Our production deal with Yo Mama has reached its halfway point! When we resume regular production, should we work on Dtoons shorts like "Cartoon Cafe", "Kassandra", "Frank and Sue" and "Smash Rejects" (and hopefully "Conroy Cat")?, or should we just focus on Team Teen? Perhaps even both?

Let us know!

Teaming Up with Yo Mama

I got offered to work with one of my favorite Youtube animation channels, Yo Mama. It's an art project that will span a few episodes, but it means I won't be working on any of my own projects for a while, so no updates possibly for a few weeks.

I appreciate and thank you ...

Frank Incomplete Animation

Frank's rig are really bare bones, but the assets build for the first episode can be used in future episodes, so each episode will get easier to make.

Frank and his Chew Toy

A toy squirrel is not as fun to rough up as the real thing.

Kassandra Turnaround: Now with OTS Angle!

OTS means "over the shoulder". In a past post, I talked about how next to the three-quarter angle, an OTS would be most likely be the second most frequently used angle.
I should make a reverse OTS shot for Kassandra, but her hair obscures her torso so any differences from that angle will go completely unnoticed, except for possibly the tears in ...

Smash Rejects Battlefield

In the pilot, I created the stage in Photoshop, and composited it and the animation in After Effects. This time, I'm trying to keep more of the production in Flash. By having the background done in Flash, we can change the size without the picture getting pixelated ...

Smash Rejects Opening

...actually shows up at the end of an episode.

Back in April of 2015, I uploaded the first episode of this series. Combining the biggest animated movie hit with a popular video game, didn't do as well as I hoped back then, but I'm willing to produce a few more epi...

Cartoon Cafe Props

Created background elements for Cartoon Cafe so I won't have to make it later. Simple elements as they were seen in the Conroy Cat and Toonagram comics I used to make.

I'm really excited about the cartoon and hope it can come to fruition. A friend set me up with a voice actor that can do some great impressions. 

Frank and Sue Rough Turnarounds

Designs are subject to change but they will be small. Like making Frank's feet smaller.

Kassandra with More Flexible Arms

Originally I was going to create new arms as the project demands, but with these already made arms and forearms, I'll save a lot of time on animation!

Team Teen on Hiatus....maybe?

As much as I like exploring the world of Team Teen and their adventures, I also want to make cartoons starring my OCs and Cartoon Cafe, the latter of which features plenty of cartoon crossovers on its own. Though I could attempt to produce both, after doing the math and production scheduling, I realize I'm capable of producing an OC cartoon almost ...

Working on Kassandra's Front View Rig

Before my breakdown, I was working on three series to develop and work on for the rest of the year. One of which is Kassandra's Awesome Tips to Life and You Bet (I know that's two but for production purposes that counts as one main series).
For the longest time, I've only had Kass and Helen's 3Q rigs and was in no rush...

Frank and Sue

One cartoon I've wanted to make for years is a classic "chase cartoon" like Tom and Jerry and the Road Runner. Taking what I learned off of my previous attempt, and basing it off of a short film I wanted to do, the premise is simple: Sue Squirrel takes a brisk jog a...

Kassandra with Conroy Hands

Was working on updating the Kassandra rig and a thought came to me: Although I could create new hands for both Kassandra and Helen, but would it be noticeable if I just gave them the hands I used for Conroy and Doggy? I don't give female characters unique hands, and everyone has four fingers. The only thing that would be noticeable is that...

Steven Universe Rig Test

Taking a break is doing me some good, as it allowed me to do other things and get inspired, and I'm slowly working towards making a new Team Teen project as big as that of "Convergence at Gravity Falls". I just have to get the story fully planned out.

One of the biggest issues with working on Team Teen, is that even though I used character rigs, ...

Depression and Anxiety

When it comes to being a Youtuber, I've been doing this for over 6 years now. Trying to find a series that resonates with audiences have been a tough journey, but in the end it comes down to trying to produce a series that viewers will enjoy watching but also something fun to produce. Team Teen came close to being that, but I feel that it's still n...

Team Teen: Cartoon Heroes Unite Ep. 3

The password is resourceful

A prequel of sorts, that sets up the Team Teen series.

Unfortunately guys, we're now going to go on hiatus with the series, but rest assured we got fun cartoon crossovers planned for the future, along with the return of original series Kassandra, and a new series that i can't wait to share with y...

The Multiverse

As its interpreted in the Adventure Time episode "Crossover".

Something's being sent through the multiverse. What could it be?

Watch Out!

They gotta go back. Back to the past.

Done during a stream. Same as the last pic. 

Aku Laughing

Animated this during a stream.

Crashing From the Sky

Whatever could it be?

Changing Things Up!

Hey, it's one of the scientists from "Episode XCIII"! Who's calling him? What's the urgent news?

Well, I got some news! I've decided to take my time with my cartoons, instead of attempting to churn them out every three or four weeks. Despite what Youtube advisers say, you don't have to upload content once a week (it's just highly recomme...

Aku's in Team Teen!

Raven Queen's transformation into Aku wasn't some random situation! Aku is a major antagonist in the Team Teen series. Now that the series finale for Samurai Jack has aired, we know how Aku meets his end, and it can now be worked into the Teem's series.

I actually ended up putting the next episode planned (the one with the Smurf) on hold, so I ca...

Grouchy Smurf Be Hatin'

Smurfy's gonna Smurf.

Cat Noir vs. Captain Kalus Rough Animation

Another random crossover that no one asked for! Who remembers "Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5"? Anyone?

I'm pretty happy with how this came out. Captain Kalus is overly detailed so I decided to use tweens to animate him. Meanwhile Cat Noir's movements were so fast, I decided to just animate him frame by frame.

Team Teen: Cartoon Heroes Unite Ep 2

The password is destiny

Whoo! This took much longer than I expected! Had to draw a lot of things I'm not really good at, like buildings and vehicles. Also, a few characters that appear are from cartoons that allow for a lot more detailed designs (CGI, 2D character rigs), which made them take longer to draw and animate.
All in ...
