Cat Potion: Concepts and more animation

Cat Potion is nearly there, I'm working out the final scene having made this in an unusual way where I've figured out the barebones as I have progressed instead of beforehand.

In the meantime I have some cat potion brewer concepts, I really wanted to go for the cute top hat guy but ultimately I wanted the cat too look more like an edgelord.

I was going to include an animation breakd...

More Cat Potion

Cat potion is well underway, I've approached the production of this in a strange way this time where I'm finishing shots before I've boarded and blocked out the whole thing, its mostly to get a feel for the style I want to go with for this.

I'm using Clip Studio Paint for everything with this one and its been great so far, I love Adobe Animate but the brushes are so limited so I have once...

Cat Potion

More on the one project of all my cancelled projects that I have stuck with so far and been enjoying. This potion selling cat supposedly has a cure for anything but what is he really after ?🤔

Having fun with the style on this, making it in clip studio paint with a pencily, crayony type brush that makes the lineart well defined but still natural looking.

This should be quite short...

Long overdue update (sneak peak and unused stuff dump)

Hey guys, its been long overdue for an update on everything. I've been all over the place towards the end of 23 and early this month (Happy New Year btw lol) I've started and burnt out on four different cartoons so to be honest I'm having a huge block with motivation lately that's kind of worrying me a bit.

I'm trying to get back into the groove with it and put videos and other stuff out ...

Surprise cartoon!

Was itching to make something and had some time earlier this week so using my wardrobe as a sound booth I crafted this mini toon. I like to think of it as a feel good tale, the takeaway message being that things aren't always as bad as they may seem.

Got some more minis on the way and next comic chapter too, then I'm really hoping I can dive back into some more chunky vids after that.

Mermaid Reef Chapter 1

Here be Mermaid Reef Chapter 1 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

A lettings agent rents a fancy ship out to two bozos who are supposedly on a Royally approved voyage, what could possibly go wrong?

Enjoy the first short introductory chapter of this pirate adventure! I have a very loose framework in mind for where this story could go but I'm going to take a more relaxed approach to writing i...

Mermaid Reef Chapter 1 tonight 🐠

What is up my dudes

I just had a big move and change of work too so got pretty held up on being able to continue personal stuff, however I did find time to make the first chapter of my pirate adventure that I mentioned a while back instead.

I'm currently making some tweaks on it and also figuring out the Membership options on this page, so expect an update on that this evening and t...

Mermaid Bay test page (very mild nsfw)

Mornin from here,

Got an update on the comic I mentioned previously!

I've been putting together the first page and wanted to nail down the style going forward. I've been messing with this for about two days because of how picky I am with things like font and colour. The font and text in general I am still unsure of lol

The two main things I want to achieve is clarity and a loo...

Mermaid Bay

Hey guys,

Hope you've all been well. Been a busy month but I'm finally just about back to making some cartoons and stuff. 

I've been cooking up a pirate adventure with these two lads in as they search for the legendary Mermaid Bay. I have it roughed out and boarded into a series of mini skits with these self contained stages of their journey sailing the seven seas.

What I...

FFX Cartoon

Hey guys, bit of a delay but here it is! 

Pretty pleased with how this one turned out so hope you all enjoy it, the faces were a big focus and I found myself pulling said faces whilst drawing them which happened so often my features have rearranged to look like sad tidus with gun to head.

I took a more relaxed approach to writing this that was more enjoyable and I hope that sho...

tidus psychotic soy face

Hey guys! that ffx toon I mentioned will be out tomorrow evening for you all, a bit later than I hoped 

I finished the last shot this evening! Tidus is pulling the most psychotic face in this, I didn't initially intend for him to look this way but he does and its killing me.

Anyway, you'll see these sweaty men tomorrow in a hopefully cool cartoon

Cheers 😎

New toon incoming

Hey chums, sorry for the lack of anything on here (or any social media from me really) been pretty busy doing some freelance work to keep them bills paid 

Managed to chip away at a toon in the occasional bit of time I had and before too long I'll be able to share with you all the cast of final fantasy 10 pulling ugly faces for 2 minutes.

(You dont need to know much about final ...

More character art for ffx

The first seymour face is my fave thing I've drawn so far. I think it looks so stupid

Should have this bad boy sorted and uploaded this coming week at some point, maybe towards the end of the week 

Cheers folks 🫡

Next Cartoon in the works

Next cartoon in the works already, I reckon it'll release next friday since backgrounds and stuff are all sorted. 

What could this cartoon be about? where could it be set? What videogame could the characters be from I wonder? LOL LMAO (seriously I don't know, I hit my head on some stone steps and forgot what I was anima

Stardust Condensers 3 Animatic

Hey!

Was hoping to show the full animatic for the most recent jojo ep but since I animated on 3 different files (having it all in one file crashes too often lol) I have only been able to find the first half of the animatic. 

Thought I'd share anyway though to show where these cartoons usually start. If this was an animatic for a TV production it would have to be a lot cleaner t...

Stardust Condensers 3

They've been rowing that dingy for over a year, I just hope they are doing okay.

Glad to finally be sharing this one with you all, I've had the voice lines and backgrounds finished since 2022 so it's nice to get it finished off.

Anyway here it is, the continued adventures of the Stardust Chums ⭐

(the end card is made for youtube so might look a bit empty)

Stardust resurrection

Hey guys! 

So as you all might remember, I was going to abandon the Stardust Condenser series entirely due to being burnt out on it; HOWEVER, I found on a hard drive a load of finished backgrounds, voice lines and even finished animation for the half completed 3rd episode.

Having rediscovered just how far through making the episode I got I thought why not finish off what I star...

Persona 3 Animation

Surprise extra anim here as I found some time in the week to put together an animation after the announcement of p3 reloaded. Played the original game a few years back and it really stuck with me along with p4 for it's cast of characters and wild sci fi concepts. 

Always found it frustrating how social links were gate kept behind stat level requirements so that maybe inspired this. H...

The British Spiderman Universe

Eyup, 

Just finished some storyboarding work for a couple of animated shows which I can hopefully tell you guys more about soon and give a proper update as to what I've been doing the last year or so. 

What this means is I now have more time freed up to work on personal weekly animations again after so long of promising to get back into it and trying to correct a messy sch...

easypete.mp4 🤠

Easy pete won't give you his dynamite!

Cooked this one up after playing fallout new vegas, I dedicate this to easy pete and hope that he learns to trust others in this life.

I reckon I struck a good balance here in making it visually look how I wanted without having to spend too long on it, got a bunch more vids on the way in a similar style so let me know your thoughts, hopefully p...

New mini toon bg process

Hey guys, finally back to it making toons. I've decided to go back to my simpler style since I miss it quite a bit and it's a very easy going and manageable process to get videos made with it. 

Thought I'd show my process with one of the backgrounds too. It's super simple using mostly block colours with some highlights if I feel like adding them. As you can see I start off with a ver...

I be back (again)

Hey guys sorry for dropping off the face of the earth again, hope you've all been well the past few months. 

I've been taking on various freelance jobs as I catch up on bills and stuff the past couple months and tbh I got super overwhelmed BUT I am back in a good spot now and feeling ready to dive into making more toons and figuring out where I want to take the channel. 

M...

Pirate themed Mini toon early showing

Hey guys, I'm back with another mini toon that is not cursed in any way. 

Haven't had as much time for bigger projects as I would have hoped so sticking to these mini cartoons for a bit since they seem like a sure fire way to get cartoons out with the free time I have whilst also helping familiarise myself with blender. 

This pirate themed bit was inspired by old school ca...

LATE

Hey!

Was hoping the first post here of 2023 would be a little bit earlier but I've still been busy trying to get set up with a new job and it's made managing my time pretty tricky.

So here's a 20 second mini cartoon that is LATE, I made it to learn how to use  Blender for 2d a bit more and as an attempt to try and get the ball rolling again with making stuff for the channel. 2023-02-05 12:57:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Trying new things! Early cartoon showing

Hey guys, the plushie campaign stuff from a couple of months back burnt me right out coupled with looking for jobs and making cartoons. So I took a break and decided to learn some blender at a steady pace. 

So I decided to make my next cartoon using blender and here we have Silent Hill 2: Quest for wife with some 3d in it.

I want to make some mini tutorials based on making cart...

Mini Cartoon on the way

The last of vids, ads and cartoons to advertise my plush, going to slap an ad on the back of this since it seems to somehow help more than just straight up advertising directly lol.

Got our boy Leon here going on a journey through Spain to find a girl, without spoiling anything I'll just say he finds something more meaningful along the way...

I've been using Clip studio paint for th...

Update: Detective Plush, new cartoon and I feel like an idiot

Hey guys! 

I feel like a big dumb because I clearly didn't publish my post with the Detective Plush toy advert in 🤦‍♂️

So if you didn't know, I managed to get The who Did it? Detective in the video above turned into a plush toy! He is available to order for 3 more days if you want to order your very own, 200 sales are needed to get him into production and we are curren...

Who Did It Comic no.3

The next Who Did It comic strip - The Tidy Up Killer

Who did It comic strips

Since I have a lot less time for animations for a couple months I thought that I would continue to at least provide some form of cartoon fix until things settle on my end.

This has led to me to bringing Porkchop and the Detective to comic strip form! I would like to post 2 or 3 times a week and I'll make sure that after these initial two you guys can see them first for a bit.

How I like to animate scene transitions (bts)

Hey! Sorry for the delay on this, thought I'd have had it ready to upload a couple days back. 

Here's a behind the scenes of me animating my transitions whilst making Who Did It 2, it's not very conventional but I get asked about my transitions a lot when working on stuff so thought I'd show myself going through that process. (excuse the mellow drained zombie tone of voice in parts, ...
