The Box Headed One

From the upcoming Steven Universe review.

Doggy and Conroy Chilling

A shot from the Conroy and Doggy's review. The only new episode of this season (so far), that has both Conroy and Doggy reviewing a show together. I stopped drawing backgrounds in Flash for this a long time ago, but I tried it out again, and I used both the pencil and brush tool for it. What do you guys think?

More Conroy and Doggy Shorts, SU x GF Trilogy

Before the recent Team Teen short was released to the public, I've actually had plans to return to making more Conroy and Doggy shorts, like the ones I used to make before Toons These Days caught on. Those that responded to the previous post showed that they enjoyed the characters a lot, so I will go through with that.

As for the Team Teen short,...

What Do You Guys Like?

Not all of you guys respond to my post, but I hope you will for this one. Recently, the Steven Universe x Gravity Falls episode did really well, and got more views in two days than any of my other videos ever have in the history of my Youtube channel. It's too early to say (it's not on Channel Awesome yet), but I think it's an indication that I s...

Fixing Up the Hands

On the right is Doggy's original hand, and on the left is the new one I'm building. I'm actually fine tuning his hand, but I'm thinking maybe I should just redraw them, which sucks since there's over a hundred of them. The reason I'm re-tweaking the rig is not just for new episodes of TTD, but I want to make non-review cartoons featuring Doggy and...

Making Hands

Found a website talking about Flash animation. http://flash-powertools.com/workflow/ Fun read for those interested. That's the source of this picture I found with 132 hands. I'm drawing them in my style, which will not only serve as Doggy's hands but can tweaked and repur...

Cleaner Lines, Better Rig

When it comes to building a character, I have a choice between using the line tool or the brush tool. The lines from the line tool come out precise and boring, but the brush tool can end up with a scraggly unclean look. Fortunately, I found a compromise by converting the lines to fills so they can manipulated. Check out the pic to see the differen...

Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls

Life got in the way so this took longer than I expected, but I'm glad it's finally done!
Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Shot 13, AE Filters applied

I actually want to apply After Effects to all my cartoons in the future, including Toons These Days. It's a little tricky, but it'll look cool.

Tree Monster, Shot 7

I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. I'm trying to get this all done before I hand it over to Philip Landini, my music guy for Team Teen. This is what a shot looks before I throw in a bunch of filters in After Effects. I hope it turns out good, and I hope you all will enjoy it!

Will the new Team Teen come out early?

Dear patrons, It has come to my attention that new episodes of both Gravity Falls and Steven Universe return in the middle of July (13th-17th). Since characters from both shows appear in the Team Teen episode, I feel it would be a good opportunity to upload the episode to the public on the 16th of July as opposed to the 6th of August as planned. I ...

Change of Plans

Unfinished webcomic that was meant to go up for you guys this week. Due to things going on on my end, there's been a change of plans. I realize I can't really juggle comics and animations as well as I hoped, so until I improve the production pipeline, I'll be focusing more on animations. I still hope to make comics, it just won't be weekly for a wh...

Dipper and Mabel, Shot 4

David Besnier (DaveDonut on Deviantart), is one of my favorite Flash animators, and he allowed me to have some more flash files to understand how to animate puppet rigs, and said animation style is being implemented in three shots of the Team Teen short. Whether you animate frame-by-frame or puppet style, it takes a lot of effort to make it look g...

Kill la Kill Comic

Originally Satsuki was going to be in this, but I realized Conroy hasn't appeared in his own comic in a long time. Plus he's much easier to draw.
I usually try hard to keep Conroy on model but I figured "why"? People have complained my art's a little stiff so I decided to wrap up the cartooniness of him a little.

Steven, Dipper, and Mabel

I finished the animation in this shot yesterday. I always experiment with animation and blend frame-by-frame, limited animation, and tweening together, so hopefully attempting to animate three characters in a day showed me how many frames are needed to animate certain movements and when to animate on 2s or 3s. The finished version will have a diffe...

Another Ever After High Comic

I'm not making another one, btw. It's just that not long after I came up with the joke for the first one, I thought of this as well.

And with this done, we have produced all the episodes from season 2! I'd like to thank Jon Causith for taking the role of Doggy and Andrew Kaiko who wrote the majority of the epi...

Doggy in Bed

We conclude Doggy's day where he planned to go the beach where it started off: ranting about cartoons in bed.

Ever After High Comic

Though I wanted to make this comic for weeks, halfway through production I realize that I don't think many people who read my comics watch Ever After High, let alone heard of it. So yeah, a little fun at the shippers. Last night I realize that I want to try something neat with comic-wise with Conroy and Doggy so I'll focus more on them in the futu...

Background Process

I'm still working on Team Teen, albeit a little slower. There's a scene where an explosion takes place from afar and I had to draw a background for it. Up top is the sketch from the storyboard, and next is the colored redition of it. It's pretty ugly but it came in handy as it was used to test the layout while animating the explosion. The next day ...

The Stump Monster

This is the opening shot of the upcoming Team Teen short. Character animation wise, half of the cartoon is done, but we still have to do the backgrounds, and I need to find someone to do the music. I want to have a new animation out at the beginning of each month, but I realized yesterday that that's not going to be possible. So I'm going to put pr...

Sonic Boom Comic

It'll be a while before the fan written TTD review of Sonic Boom comes out, so for now, here's a comic!

Age of Ultron Comic

I thought the gag for this was funny, but I had a little difficulty setting it up.

Toons These Days: Pokemon (Conroy)

Password: TTDpatreon This is the last Conroy review written and recorded, and at this time, we don't plan on making more since I want to give more into producing Team Teen. Enjoy!

Big Hero 6 Comic

Focusing on Team Teen and having trouble drawing Baymax's pose in the second panel led this comic to being late. Sorry about that!

Toons These Days: Pokemon (Doggy)

Here's Doggy's review of Pokemon! Password: TTDpatreon

Rough for Layout

I work off of memory for the storyboards, but when it comes to layout, I like to use model sheets to make sure things look precise.

Storyboard of Dipper and Mabel

Production of the new Team Teen is underway! Here we see Dipper and Mabel in some sort of danger. Though I've had this planned in my head for the longest time, I'm now wondering if having Mabel be ready to attack the monster they're facing is a good idea. I mean, is that something she would do? But that's the kind of thing that's okay to shrug off,...

Gravity Falls Comic

To help practice drawing GF characters for Team Teen, I made this comic! Hopefully, I'll come with a funnier title once the comic goes up on my site.

Doggy, Steven, and Dipper

While animating a Doggy episode, I wanted to see how well I can draw Steven and Dipper without references. The Team Teen short I plan on doing is a Steven Universe-Gravity Falls crossover.
