JANUARY DRAWING + February suggestions

HELLOOOO EVERYONE!

The results of the January poll were VERY CLOSE, so I ended up doing TWO!

"Captain Yajima showing Steve around her ship" and "Steve and Cesare in the Sonic Adventure 2 title screen poses"

Here's some work-in-progress screenshots:

JANUARY DRAWING POLL

Hello all! I know I said I would wait 1-2 weeks before doing the poll, but reading the comments it seems like the frontrunner suggestions are all pretty established...

So I'm doing the poll now!

Here's six suggestions I picked out that seemed to be favorites going off likes.

I'd be happy doing any of these though, loads of great suggestions!!

Thank you for voting, have ...

NEW YEAR (+DRAWING REQUESTS)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 🎆🎆🎆

I'm using this New Year Momentum to make a change to my Patreon I've meant to do for a long time but have been too scatterbrained to actually do... 💀 (SORRY ABOUT THAT)

I'm changing the $5 tier to something more manageable, I'm doing MONTHLY DRAWING REQUESTS!

We're starting STRAIGHT AWAY! Submit suggestions below and I'll pick out the...

Another Wall, Another Gnome

My new animation "WALL GNOMES" just dropped and I thought I'd share this little behind-the-scenes snippet!!

Wall Gnomes began as one of several 1-minute one-off improv skits I recorded, intended to become YouTube Shorts like Wizard Beer. (You'll see more eventually... 😅)

Usually I just take one pass, layering the voices bit by bit until I reach a minute and if it's funny I keep i...

PLAYING A SHOW IN DECEMBER

HELLO ALL! long time no see!! sorry I've been so busy, I've got one of the reasons here...

I have a VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE...!!

I will performing LIVE with BRIAN DAVID...

Beam of Light (Coming July 20th)

Hello, everyone!!

My first full-length album in quite a long time is coming out NEXT WEEK on all streaming platforms.

It's called BEAM OF LIGHT and features 10 tracks, some old some new, covering a few genres but generally with the garagey midi rock sound I've been playing with.

I wanted to share one of the new tracks here, this is "Eye To Eye". It's sort of a yacht rock, Doob...

Wall Gnomes (Boards) + Update

Hello, everyone!

Here are the boards for a new short I'm cooking up. It's about two electricians who find a gnome in the wall. 🧱

I'm finishing up my first proper "ALBUM" since... 2017. 💀 It should be done sometime next month.

It's not a concept album like Duloc, but I do have one of those in the working as well... (but very far from being finished)

There is also so...

WIZARD BEER: Making-Of

HELLO, EVERYONE! I just finished editing this little Wizard Beer making-of.

The first 20 minutes are all about the visuals and the last 10 are about the sound.

I hope you enjoy and thank you for watching!!

WIZARD BEER OUT NOW!

My new short (very short lol) Wizard Beer is out everywhere, I hope people like it!

This short was a huge experiment for me in terms of the animation and the music, I will go into more detail when I make a behind-the-scenes video about it, but for now here's some tidbits.

Overall I would call the experiment a success, although there's several areas I want to work on.

Thank you...

100% Hexed

I'm currently working on my next animation which is a very short skit about this FAKE BREW.

I thought I'd share the logo I designed, as I am likely scrapping it.

In the context of the animation it's on screen so briefly I was worried it looked TOO real and people would think this is a genuine ad, which RUINS the FUN.

So I'm drawing something simpler and more obviously fake. 2024-01-10 20:13:41 +0000 UTC View Post

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 (and 1M Sub Q&A)

Hello, everyone!! Happy new year!! 🎉🥳🎊

I'm working on some new stuff but don't have much to show, in the meantime I am planning to make a live-action Q&A video to celebrate the channel passing 1M subs (It crossed over right on Christmas day which was WILD)

I will be posting about this on all my social media but I figured I'd give priority to Patreon and any questions he...

BIGTOP BURGER: UP (Preview)

hello everyone! I wanted to share the first scene from this final episode

the rest of it is a bit unhinged and won't come across in boards, so I'll save it as a surprise when the whole episode is finished

this is cesare's last scene... as usual 70% of his dialogue is improvised by chris during the recording session

there will be more cesare in season three, as well as many oth...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! ❄️🎄🥂🍻

UPDATE: (+possible credits issue)

HELLO EVERYONE! DOWN is finally online, I am so happy.

I am going to begin work on UP (the final episode of the season) shortly.

This past year has been a grinder for me I'm in a perpetual state of moving across country without really moving, lots of PODS unable to drop off and overall mayhem.

By January I should officially be moved and in my new place and I will finally be ab...

BIGTOP BURGER: DOWN (Boards)

HELLO EVERYONE, LONG TIME NO SEE

I'm still STILL in moving hell, working has been very difficult but I'm ALMOST THERE (hopefully) one more month and I'll be settled into my new spot

I wanted to polish these boards up a bit before posting them, but I've sat on them so long I figured I should just post them as is

I'm very excited to finish animating this episode and show it to e...

IN YOUR HEART

I finally put the finishing touches on this... this is the very cheery song that plays in the background of the food truck convention

I wanted to make something that sounds sort of like a remix/mashup of a haim song with a katy perry song LOL aiming for the early 2010s

I hope everyone is doing well... the next episode is coming along it should be finished in the next week or two �...

Captain Yajima (Behind-The-Scenes)

HERE is some behind-the-scenes about the modelling, rigging, etc. for CAPTAIN YAJIMA!

Captain Yajima (Music/SFX Behind-The-Scenes)

hello, everyone! I have been trapped in a horrible cave for the past 48 years. I was struck by lightning! (not really)

I have finally put together some behind-the-scenes for yajima! I will shoot something talking about the visuals and modelling soon.

I hope everyone is well!

CAPTAIN YAJIMA (Script Read)

I completely forgot I had this, after I'd sent the script to RASH A1M to be translated I included this file of me reading through the script myself, as a sort of reference for the voices and tone of the lines. 😅

It's very goofy and much shorter than the finished thing, I thought I'd share it here as some behind-the-scenes.

BIGTOP BURGER: PANEL (boards)

here's the boards for the next episode!! I did these a while ago but have been holding off on posting them until backpack was finished 😅

Q&A STREAM THIS SATURDAY

HEYY everyone! Apologies for lateness with the stream.

I'm gonna try and do it this Saturday, around 4pm EST (1pm PST) I hope that works for people!

I'll likely do it on Youtube with a private link and maybe I'll have it available afterwards, or potentially recorded and edited down into a making-of sort of thing.

I plan on looking through some Blender files if anyone's curious...
