Like the title says, it's a work in progress. And it sure has taken a lot of progress to get it to this stage. We thought making a box to contain shot glasses was difficult - heh - this is a whole order of magnitude or two more complicated. It's very tricky to hit all of the marks - reli...

A requested Ivy.

Some scenery from Act 1 of the film.

Those enamel pin designs have manifested themselves at last.
In case you pre-ordered them, Iron Circus says they'll begin shipping this coming week, along with the cast+crew signed film posters.
I had put in a request for some extras of these so that I can make them available to Patrons...
Some recent Patron stuff!
Also included are some of the requested drawings from yesterday's fundraiser stream for Ashe. Bikinis were the theme of the day, apparently. Lots of other artists contributed drawings as well (they left the swimwear to me).
If you pledged for one of those ...
There are a few spots in the film in which Freckle and Ivy are a bit in the background doing their own thing amidst some other commotion that dominates the scene. Here are a couple of examples I thought were kind of amusing, removed from the surrounding context. (The haunted bottles are the resul...

Viktor, by request.
It's been quite a month. Some surprising things happened that ended up eating up a considerable amount of my time. They're good and exciting things, though. I can't talk about it at this juncture, which is maddening, but if/when it becomes something I can talk about, I ...

Hey all,
Well, I guess this one was a given - there's a cat game. We're gonna play the cat game. (What I've seen of it is gorgeous, really.) The crew will be chatting about the film and comic and answering questions along the way too!
Starts tonight, Friday the 29th...
Truthfully, he was just adjusting to life indoors with three legs, I think. He hasn't had these issues since early on, as I'm sure Newt would be happy to know....since as of a few days ago, he is Newt's cat!
We've all been pretty excited about how the speakeasy is looking in the comp process. It's awaiting a few more lighting tweaks and some atmospheric hazy smoke, but this is the almost-final version.

A Patron inquired about the books I've used as resources for Lackadaisy a little while back, and I had promised to share. Questions about how or where I do research for the 1920s and the comic in general are pretty common, really, but I don't have a formal bibliography compiled at present, so I f...

Hey all,
The crew is streaming tonight, starting right about now (8pm EDT / 5pm PDT)! Fable's going to be doing some animating, meanwhile we'll answer questions from the chat and then wind down with some fun stuff.

Gotta go catch a flight, but figured I'd leave a little something here quickly first - in this case, a push-pull shot that comp was working on recently.
Closing in on cleanup completion pretty rapidly now. There are still some, well... complicated shots left to tackle, though.

This came sooner than expected. I'm actually a little shocked at how well this wrap around design worked out.
Fable and I worked on this as well, but the bulk of the credit for the final art goes to Salem the Squidder!

Hey everyone,
I'm tied up with an event at the end of June, so I'm doing the Patron-only stream a little earlier than usual this month. I'll be streaming this Sunday, June 19th, starting at 7pm CDT (8pm EDT / 5pm PDT) on my 2022-06-18 13:42:47 +0000 UTC
