Leon's Flight Training
I'm nearing the end of setting up all the Leon and Wolf scenes. It won't be too long before I start on the Phoenix situation.

I'm still getting familiar with the packs of patches and samples in my digital instrument library, but I've had this song in my brain for three years, and I needed to get it out. I'm still tweaking the mix and other things...

Setting up the last montage scene in Wolf's "stolen ship" arc. Hot tubs, fancy food, saunas, target practice, and flight training! Quite the contrast to the upcoming arc resolution of Fara Phoenix and Bill.
I really like this new shading layer I've been experimenting with, and it's very qui...

Finishing up the main frames for a 7-minute scene. For the next one, I'm experimenting with hard shadows to see if it's a step up.

I made a special animated/live action skit for the release of the Rhys plush by Makeship. The link for the plush will be in the video description on the YouTube channel when it is published tonight, but I will make another post with the link here, as well.

Thanks again, and I hope you all enjoy the stickers and prototype caps!

All stickers have been printed, laminated, and cut. All the shipping labels have been purchased and printed. I'm in the middle of loading all the merchandise into 100 black bubble mailers and signing thank-you cards as I post this.
Aside from the 15 stickers, I'm including one more bonus st...

I'm going through the remaining invoices this afternoon, so if you haven't received one yet, it'll come in today or later tonight.
As of this post, I've taken about 90 orders, so there are still a few sticker packs left. The pinned post on t...

I made this screenshot of the form's first page, to give you a preview of the guidelines:

The order form for the stickers is done. I let my friend order a pack and go through the entire invoice process, so everything is 100% set up and ready for orders to be placed. Even so, it'll be another couple days before I open up for orders because I want to see if I can design and squeeze in a...

(Stickers are not shown in comparative scale; most of them will be between 2-3" wide.)
These are the designs I will print and cut for the first series of AFIS stickers. I'm getting a lot better at printing and cutting, so every sticker will be covered with premium laminate to increase durab...

Still tweaking some designs, but finally getting the hang of sticky mats and ink settings. Once I can guarantee quality and consistent output, I'll move on to figuring out a plan for taking orders.

Recently purchased a printer and cutter to try making some of my own merch.
This is a first test run of some stickers. I was thinking of eventually offering sticker packs, as well as a "survival kit" full of random trinkets (trading cards, stickers, miniature acrylic LED signs, engraved sho...

I finished another short to help keep the YouTube channel afloat, but before I can get back to episode 3, I have to make the ad for the Rhys plush from Makeship.
Once the ad is animated and uploaded to YouTube, the full pre-order campaign for Rhys will begin.

I can safely say this is 99% what Krystal will look like in episode 3.

Falco obviously doesn't play video games, but he loves making fun of other people playing them. This is going to be a short based on an old Skype crew joke from back in the day.

Trying to improve my style before the present-day scenes in episode 3 get produced. Here are some 4K wallpapers of random, no-context pictures I made during my sketching.

340 out of 200! Thanks, everybody. I'll be getting with my design rep this week to start working on the actual plush prototype.

The animation's coming along just fine. I'm about to start on the most complex and involved scene I've ever directed.
There will be tension, drama, sharp things, lizards, and lots of Polish dialogue.
