Wander's The Healer

If you remember in Part 2, Star got her hand hurt by the Gem Monster. Fortunately, Wander's bandaging her hand up so she can get back into the fight!

What Chu Got? #2

What Chu Got? #2

I'm happy I was able to get a cartoon like this in terms of animation and length done within the time I gave it! It shows the efficiency of the new production pipeline.

I hope you guys enjoy it!


I'm going to do something a little different. The short that will be released to the public will be part of a compilation videosto appea...

Shot 44

Shot 44

Production on "Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls!" Part 4 has started!
This shot is unique however. As mentioned a while back, Part 3 and 4 was originally one short, and when I decided to split it, Shot 44 was supposed to be at the end of Part 3. Before I animated Sylvia in the shot, I decided to move it over to Part 4, and decided to anim...

Doggy Has a Lightsaber

Doggy Has a Lightsaber

But why?
From an upcoming episode of Ask a Toon. Production is almost done, but I don't want to release two Ask a Toon shorts in a row. So it's being pushed to late December or even January, depending on if the next Kassandra cartoon will be ready by then. I might have to release it in early December, if I'm too busy to do compositing for the "W...

Currently working on the last Conroy Cat cartoon for a while what with Team Teen coming back.
I might have to create a similar hand, using it twice in the cartoon and neither is at the angle I want.

Team Teen Returns in 2017

Team Teen Returns in 2017

Drew a bunch of cartoons during a stream. Drew almost all of them from memory.

So the good news is that Team Teen is being uncancelled. The copyright claim scare was a nuisance, but not something that should keep me from producing what is the most popular video series on my YouTube channel! And thanks to a new production pipelin...

Running Through the Landscape

Running Through the Landscape

Pretty happy with how the backgrounds came out in this "What Chu Got" short.

And that Papyrus skull is as close to an Undertale ref as I'm willing to do at the moment. Still have no intent to play that game.

Ask a Toon Ep.2

I'm really sorry for not posting much guys. I offered to do a review of Moho 12 (formerly Anime Studio), and it took me a while to understand the program, and now it's taking me a while to write up a decent review.

Anyhoo, due to my living situation not really improving, the production and release schedule had to be reworked yet again. Now for th...

Short Notice Stream

Short Notice Stream

As mentioned long ago, though patrons get a behind the scenes look at the cartoons, the streams where we produce the cartoons can be viewed by everyone. I asked months ago if this was okay, and everyone that responded seemed cool with it. However, my streams are deleted off of Youtube once they're done, so patrons can still get pics of the cartoon'...

"Awesome Tips To Life" Title Card

"Awesome Tips To Life" Title Card

One of two series of Kassandra shorts. This one is inspired by the "Good Idea / Bad Idea" segments from Animaniacs, with the added benefit of having allowing viewers to submit ideas. I pitched the concept to viewers in a stream, and already someone submitted an idea for the next episode! This is great because since these are made so far in advance,...

Helen Screaming

Helen Screaming

Kassandra likes to help make Helen's life more exciting and fun, but Kassandra's oblivious to what humans can withstand.
Needless to say, you'll be seeing Helen scream a lot.

One thing I wanted to do with the Kassandra series is have female characters engage in the same slapstick and wild takes you'd usually see a male character go throug...

Kassandra Shot Progress

Kassandra Shot Progress

Wanted to show how the shot's coming along. The background is rough, but is also going to be replaced with something simpler. As you can see, her arms are rough drawings that are placed inside her arm symbols. Today, I clean them up.
Unlike Conroy and Doggy's rig, Kassandra and Helen's don't have a lot of pre-built assets. As time goes on, their...

Back In Production!

After almost four weeks, I'm back working on animations. I'm close to falling behind schedule since I still have business to take care of in other areas, but life carries on. Unfortunately, I'm also not in the house I was moving into, and currently residing in a small house with other family members. I can't work late in the night on projects, sinc...

What The Nicktoons Movie Could Look Like

What The Nicktoons Movie Could Look Like

Alas, the final animated installment of Cartoon Heroes Unite. An animated rendition of an abandoned fan comic over five years in the making.

Throughout the early months in the year, I flipped back and forth thinking about whether I should actually make this. I knew to myself if I didn't create something for Nicktoons 25th anniversary, I'd def...

Team Teen Size Chart Full

Team Teen Size Chart Full

Working on a cartoon with characters of various art styles, some of whom that would never crossover with each other, it's difficult to decide how big they are next to each other. The trick is to determine how tall a character is is to compare the head size. I think it turned out pretty well don't you think?

Toons These Days: Wander Over Yonder

Due to what's happening with the copyright claims with Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls, the public release of that cartoon will be moved to July, whilst this TTD episode comes out this month instead. So naturally, you guys get to see it first!

This is the finale to the third season of Toons These Days! It's also the 65th episode, so we ha...

Revenge of The Copyright Claim

Turner Latam Kids has it out for me, as they now went after the first Convergence at Gravity Falls episode. Like the second video, a dispute is in progress and now I have to wait 30 days for them to respond, which means another video with monetization has been turned off until then, but at least the second video's monetization will come back on in ...

Drawing the X-Jet

The X-Jet from the short-run series "The X's" makes an appearance in the Nicktoons trailer (the X's themselves would have made an appearance if not for an abandoned scene, but more on that in a future post).

The pic on the left is a screen grab from the show's intro, as it's on the screen for less than a second. I didn't really feel like looking ...

Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls! Part 3

Here it is, the final installment on a story cut short. In some ways, I'm glad this is where I ended it. Part 4 doesn't feature new characters and would end in an even bigger cliffhanger.

There's a bit of irony here. Before Part 1 was released to the public, I toyed with the idea of making it a trilogy. The original Part 2 was going to consist of...

Nicktoons Movie, Milestone Goal, Toonagram on Break Again

The Nicktoons movie trailer features a lot of ideas I had from an abandoned fancomic I made over ten years, including this scene here. I was never a huge fan of Ren and Stimpy, so as far as I can think of, this is the first time drawing a character from the show.

Guys, normally I add time in the schedule to draw a Toonagram cartoon and tackle oth...

Toonagram #23

Toonagram #23

Someone suggested "Bob the Builder vs. Fix It Felix" and this is what I came up with. I didn't want them to fight, but I wanted to get a sense that there's tension between the two.

I also wanted to go with Bob's older, more iconic look, as he appears more realistic in his most recent show.

The Copyright Claim

The Copyright Claim

Welp, despite all the fan animations online, I never thought this would end up happening, but it's just my luck I suppose.

Basically, Tuner (which owns Cartoon Network and Steven Universe), or more specifically and oddly enough, its Latin American division, claims that I've used their visual content in the second episode of "Convergence at...
