Hey everyone!
I made a new ad for my Rigging Guide using Harmony which took me 2 days to make from start to finish, literally doing everything- writing, voicing, recording, animating and editing.
I wanted to try and experiment with a look that emulated real-world media and ...

Hi everyone- including non-patrons.
The lovely chaps at Skwigly magazine wrote a very nice piece about my guide recently and I gave a sample of the Guide to them for redistribution! If you go to the link on this post, you can read the article, and download the sample guide for free!

Almost ALMOST finished Chapter 2.
Just a couple more How-tos from Bon Bon and then proof reading, contents page revision and it’s done.
It’s an epic.
Much bigger chapter than the first.
I’ve put much more into it since I finished chapter one.
Wow!
In just 10 days I’ve got so many new Patrons! Thanks so much for the much needed donations!
Obviously it’s still a bit of a way to go before I can make this my full job, but I’m actually getting there now! So good to know, and your kind words of encouragement have been so ...

The Harmony guide.
Since I wasn’t happy with how I explained how the Peg/Drawing system in Harmony works, I illustrated the guide to show the Peg/Drawing system- Thanks for the suggestions @mr_s_henderson of twitter ;-)
Got to write how IK can be achieved, and how you sepa...

Hi everybody! Hope you all had a great Christmas. I‘m full steam ahead with the guide now that the COPPA situation is more organised.
I’ve been uploading most of my work into Newgrounds, and since the limit is 2 videos a day, I should be finished fairly soon.
As you can see, a few...

Hi everyone. Just an update video on what on Earth is going on.
2019-12-05 21:35:39 +0000 UTC View PostAs I have discovered, writing a guide is actually quite involved! It‘s only when putting figurative pen to paper that you realise just how much knowledge you have to impart!

I can’t deny, this has become a bit of a monster! I thought initially it would just be about the odd tip I’ve picked up over the years, but it has now become a proper.... well manual I suppose. On the plus side, I seem to be on top of things finally. Laying things out, I now know where the gu...

Hi everyone. I’ve been busy getting Bus Stop created for the tutorial book of Toon Boom rigging which I’ve been writing for my patrons. It’s a bit of an epic, particularly since this will also cover the new stack wizard master controller which I had hither-to never before used. It doesn’t...

Hey everyone. Just a quick post to say that the Killgar POP! video was seen and so liked by the guys at ToonBoom, that they wanted to interview me about the process. Take a look if you like!

In a few days, I will allow Youtube to see it as well.
ENJOY!

Last year, while working on Dr Who, I was in the process of writing a guide to rigging which had a large emphasis on Master Controllers.
Since I had too much to do, I had to put it on ice for a while.
Now I know so much about the process and how it affects the workflow, I’ve decide...

This one is an epic. About 15 minutes. And in the pop format has required far more fiddling about than a normal Cat class to create. Should be up in the next few days- thanks for waiting. Once done, I’m going straight on with some fun shorts for the channel. Phew!

Hey guys. The next thing to feature on my channel is gonna be this Killgar ToonBoom POP! Tutorial.
Once that's done, I want to make some shorts for my channel. As I've said on Twitter- I wrote some ColourBANG! scripts as well as Terry & Sandy (characters based on the Xbox Sex Box sketch...

There’s been rather a lot going on behind the scenes here. Research and Development mainly.
Once I’ve totally nailed this new Toon Boom technique (Most of it is done now) a short animation is due to appear on the channel. The characters are fairly simple to look at, but they have quite exten...

Hi everyone.
Sorry about the slow release of this one. I've just become engaged, and there's rather a lot happening at the moment, hence the delay, but I'm not leaving this behind by jimmy! Too much fun! Here it is- a POP! tutorial for a great app.

Hey Chaps & Chappettes! Here is the new form POP! version of Cat Class which I’m going to make more of in addition to the more reserved tutorial style I’ve previously done. This is just fun, light entertainment really with the odd tip. ENJOY!

At the moment it doesn’t seem fair that so many kind people have donated and are not getting some kind of credit for it on actual videos, so I’ve decided that (for the moment anyway- might not be practical in the future) to...
