Puppet Update

 Designing AFIS puppets from scratch using zBrush, Cura, ping pong balls, and other stuff. 

This is a very fun process.

Coming Along

.STL File for 3d Printing - James

This .STL file is ready to go for slicing and 3d printing. I've never made one of these before, so if you have any suggestions, let me know.

(For those wanting a ridiculously high-res version of the .STL, Patreon limits file size on here so we'd have to figure out something through Drive or E-Mail.)

Puppet Stuff Update

Gonna try printing  out some eye animatronic stuff later tonight. More updates coming.

AFIS Puppets!

This is going to be Spanky Mk 1, my first test puppet skull. 

At about six inches from cheek to cheek, I'm going to use this is the base for fur and ears and such. It's going to be a learning experience, heavy on the "learning," which is why I'm starting with Spanky, instead of Fox or Wolf or Falco. Spanky is going to serve as the sloppy fir...

The Other, Alternative, Animatronically-Animated Series

As the cartoon's progress chugs along, a void still exists on the uploads page of the cartoon's YouTube channel. Yes, the episode will eventually be on that page, but I would like something I can steadily upload to the channel that will keep people interested in the project in the not-so-exciting meantime.

Starting this month, on my off-time, I'm...

3D-Printable Figurines

I've been trying out a 3d printer, and someone made the suggestion that I offer 3d-printable STL's of a new character each month/week/etc., so I'm going to try and fulfill that.

As soon as I get some filament and test/tweak this one of James, I'll post the STL for $10 patrons and above, and do my best to have new ones ready asap.

Huh. False alarm.

I kinda figured they'd change their minds, and turns out they aren't going through with the new fees. Good to know.

Patreon's Changes in Patron Charging

Just letting you guys know that Patreon is going to be moving the fees over (and slightly raising them) to patrons instead of creators.. I think this is gonna piss off a lot of people all over, so I'm apologizing in advance for whenever this happens (I believe within a week or something). Nobody likes unexpected extra charges. 

If you need t...

Another Update

I hope everyone's having a good holiday season so far. I've managed to make a little time outside of my cartoon to finish up Christmas stuff early so I can indeed "get back to it."

Lots of inbetweens and new initial frames for a couple of very high-action scenes are coming up; the most complex and active scene I will have ever animated. 

YouTube, YouTube.... Sigh.

So, I'm sure a lot of people have heard about this whole YouTube vs. Patreon thing. It's silly, yeah, but as a precaution I'm going to make a Twitch account for now.

I'm going to give it a test-run for now, but I'm also ...

Possible 3D-Printed Figurines?

Been dabbling in ZBrush in my spare time mainly to model my characters' heads for easier illustrating, but I've actually been having fun making them into complete models of the entire characters' bodies, which makes me wonder about printing up a few of these for painting, and maybe gifting to some of the top patrons. 

What do you think?

The Stream Gets a Face-Lift

To the joy of some (and woe of others), I will no longer be hosting the stream's chat on YouTube, and will no longer show the public chat on-stream. 

From now on, anyone wishing to participate in the chat during my stream will have to join the public Discord server. I will still be in this chat, like always, but will only be answering questi...

"Lineup" 1080p / 4K Wallpaper

Been really busy getting ready for Fundy Fan Fest in a few weeks. This is going to be the first convention where I'm actually helping out as one of the featured guests on an animation panel as well as having my own booth, and I'm nervous as [word].

I had to put together a banner for my booth, and decided to turn it into a wallpaper as well, so he...

[SONG] "Barrel Roll" ft. Star Fox

This is a rough cut of a song that will be used in a musical segment of episode 103; a parody of the song "Good Times Roll," by The Cars. Just using the de-vocaled Cars track for now, but the final in-show version's musical instruments will all be performed by me.

Enjoy.

Vocal Booth Progress

Going to add a left wall and a door/curtain/? to the front. Even half-finished, the audio I record sounds great.

Beats the camper by a fair bit, I'd say.

I'm moved into my new place, except for house furniture and whatnot. For now, I have a bed, a stocked kitchen, and this amazing workstation. 

Ran my first stream in the new place last night, and it was amazing. I've actually never had a two-monitor setup before. 

Weekday streaming frequency should be back to normal now, but I'll a...

Better Setup

Long story short, I'm renting a house starting next month, and turning it into the best and highest-functioning animation/sound studio I've ever put together. Moving begins Saturday night. More info soon. 

[EDIT: Move is going good, got most of my belongings to the new place. Currently working on putting together the sound...
