Fernando and the Disk of Chaos - Episode 3
Here's the three together:
Happy new yeaaaarrrrrr woo! Mine was pretty laid back. Drank some tasty beers, saw some somewhat underwhelming fireworks on the beach.
I'm on the home stretch for this beast. Here's some unusual backgrounds I painted today for the wack part near the end:

Here's a work in progress of this shot so far, after each time I spend time on it. First, the animatic version:

Now the second version, which I've posted before.

You will have received an e-mail from Patreon about changes to the way fees are charged. My understanding is that Patreon will push the burden of processing fees on to you the patrons.
I don't agree with the change. I think Patreon's tactic of adjusting the displayed pledge amoun...

I thought I would share a writing exercise I tried over the last few days where I improvised a very rough storyboard.
When I saw The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness a few years back, which is a documentary about Studio Ghibli, I was amazed when it said that Miyazaki wrote his films i...

Here's some juicy WIPs (work-in-progressessess) for you. Contains some spoilers for those of you who haven't read the comic.
The BG for the title gif is half finished, I'm going to change the colour of the mountain range because it's a bit intense but otherwise this shot is almost there.

Ferno toon is moving on slowly. I think I can finish it shortly after christmas.
I think my storyboarding job is going pretty well, I've started on the third episode. My first episode was pretty shaky compared to my second but they seem happy enough.
Here's the current par...
2017-11-21 11:51:28 +0000 UTC View PostFirstly, sorry for disappearing for the past 3 weeks. I've had two jobs, and have also had to sort out my yearly tax bulldust in that time. But I'm going to finish one of the jobs this weekend, so I'm looking forward to resuming the Fernando comic and also Gooseman's lactation song.

2017-11-03 22:59:18 +0000 UTC View PostI've started storyboarding an episode for a kids cartoon show. No one will have heard of it yet because it's new, and also I think they might prefer if people working on it didn't post about it, so all I'll say is that it's for really young ones, I think maybe 4-6 years.
I don't know if they...

In this episode our heroes experiment with new segment ideas and then roleplay deep into the dungeon of Fernando's mind.

We're up to 10 pages! I've made a video of the story so far. If the timecode link above doesn't work, here's another one if you want to skip 5 minutes of me talking about page 1...

Here's an early version of my new collab track, sung by Fernando.
I'll probably tinker with it a bit more, maybe mix it better. Also I'm wondering if I should change the plurals in the first part and make it about one single employee rather than multiple employees.
If this one d...

A week ago I wrote a post explaining why I was switching the patreon to "per cartoon".
Well, a week later I feel like a first class fool. I had two jobs lined up for the second half of this month, and both have been delayed.
I've found that the biggest challenge of freelancing apart fr...

Hey everyone,
I want to let you know I'm switching the patreon back to "per cartoon". So you will not be charged for this month, and probably not next month either.
The reason is that I've accepted a couple of work projects this month, so the cartoon is not my primary project. I ...

Yes! It's still going. I'm experimenting with using the footage from one of the comic pages on the video to see if it is a bit more engaging than Fernando on the deck. Also I've ...

This one took me the most time of all the podcast collabs, but I think it could be reasonably said to be the best one (My favourite is probably still Breaking my Heartichoke though).
So yeh I'm still slowly dribbling time on the next podcast episode, now that this is done the rest is comp...

I've started a new comic jam, I'm running it both at youtube and facebook if you'd like to join in.

It uses a lot from the episode 1 track, but there's a new middle section and I really like the way it turns back to the main theme at the end as the avian antagonist's identity is revealed.

I'm almost finished episode 2 of The Disk of Chaos. I've come back to thinking i'll publish it in three parts in the usual manner, but I will make a super edit of the whole thing for patrons and anyone who wants to pay like $1 to stream it (assuming I can figure out that side of it). ...

This is the new track from the most recent podcast collab. It's still an early version, I may or may not refine it a little still. I'm pretty happy with it, I like to find new ways to present Fernando's rhymes...even if it's not close to the best track I've done. The next track col...

The next part of Fernando's strange adventure is coming along nicely. I've done most of the character assets in this next part, there's no sound yet because I'm putting my sound energy into the next collab song project (I only have so much sound energy).
The above gif depicts the key poses o...

Although the soundtrack for Razor Blades is not spectacular or flashy, music of that nature was not what was needed to enhance this tale!

Apologies for the lack of updates this month. I was aiming to finish Razor Blades around now, but it's going to be early next month. I pictured it as a 3 week project but it's blown out a bit. I thought itd be a 60 second film, but it turned out to be 90 seconds... Anot...

Here is Episode 4 which contains the best roleplaying you'll find in all good book stores and a whooooole bunch of Artichoke content, which I know for sure is what is very hot right now.
I'd like to link to the previous episodes but the patreon post functionality seems to be limited today a...

Here's a fresh and nutritious new track if you will let it into your heart.
(Joke explainer: artichokes have hearts. I could have also gone with "heartichoke".)
This is another collab song from the podcast.
