Today I spent a couple hours rendering up the official logo for Gildedguy vs Oxob (Story 6).
I wasn't expecting it to come out so colorful, but I like it so much Imma keep it.
So I guess I'll have to match the animation to be just as colorful somehow.

Hey Patrons!
Here are some sketches I've done containing future ideas for Gildedguy, Oxob, and Lilian (Lil Guy). There's a new opportunity (miniseries) that I might be tackling alongside Story #6.
I will let you guys know more about it as soon as I get the green-ligh...

Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoy this edgy sounding blog-post on "mastery". It's a short read (2-3 minutes), so it doesn't go too deep this time.

Progress on the new animation is steady. I have a big update on the intro coming to you guys soon!
In the meantime, check out some concept art for Oxob's character.

I really wanted to instill a hopeful feeling, despite all the dead plants!

Animating Gildedguy busting through into other web animators' worlds was an early idea that I am glad made it into the final version of the video. I am a big fan of style adaptation, both as a creator and consumer.
As a creator, it is a rewarding challenge, and as a consumer, it is al...

Hello Patrons, for this post I'll be delving into the process and my lessons learned for the three "3D" scenes in Gildedguy & the Green-Eyed Cowboy. These were some of the more spectacular cuts in the animation, and a lot of work (maybe too much work!) went into them.
I'd like to thank all the patrons for keeping my productions afloat these past several months.
I know I say this every time, but I've learned so many new techniques in animation and storytelling. I hope to share my findings with you via Behind the Scenes Posts over the next...

(People like the dog picture so now I am keeping it.)
A lot of great things are lining up with Story 5's release! Just this past week we've:
It features the first introductory minute of the animation, so it doesn't contain spoilers. PowerMeep worked really hard on the score (and still is, he's helping with the ending music).
We're officially in post-production, so the final release (June ...

We are quite close to finishing the animation! So close that this will likely be the final production update for Gildedguy & the Green-Eyed Cowboy (Story V).
The only remaining milestones are:
Last week I gave my thoughts on the future of YouTube animation for Liam Dowling's channel.
In the video, multiple YouTube animators share their opinion on how animated content is doing on the platform.

Hello guys!
Over the course of the next week we'll be re-opening the official Discord server beyond just Patrons. To keep moderation efforts manageable, it'll be invite-only, but any trusted member of the public can request an invite.
So friends...

Here it is!
This story continues Gildedguy's adventure as he attempts to carry out a simple chore in the streets of his local hometown (temporarily named “Aegis Town”) whilst being haunted by visions of a green-eyed cowboy.

Hi guys, here is an extended update on how the new animation is going. (Contains some screenshots but no major spoilers.)
The scope of the animation has doubled in size since I started it. Originally going to only last the duration of the m...
