Sonic+Kirby: One Single Frame Colored

Earlier today I started making a cute little Kirby and Sonic animation. The hope is to fully color it, so here's one frame out of like 20 or 30!

I was not very confident in my ability to do the colors justice, going into this. I had a somewhat specific vision of the coloring style. Something lineless, where the glow of the yellows could really stand out and feel radiant. I'm actually extr...

GIF: Warp Speed Racers

Just a little animation I made today in light of the incoming Kirby Air Riders direct.

I've had this animation idea in mind for a little while now. A cute crossover between video game mascots I've animated extensively before. I'll probably post a rough version of this in the upcoming week, but ideally, this will be fully colored. I'm imagining the glowing yellows would pop so nicely again...

CLIP: That's How I Died To Begin With

Further progress on the "Inskeletons Check" animation! This is a bit I had fun with.

The D&D animation I got commissioned to make is progressing swiftly. I've finished the animation for it, now I just have to color it all. Oh, boy. This part always feels like it takes the longest. I don't think it actually takes the longest, it's just kind of menial. I'm hoping I can bang it ...

Sonic's First STORYBOARDS

Here's a bunch of storyboards from the opening scene of the next Mashed video!

We're finally, finally finished writing both parts of this one. I'm interested to see what people make of it, especially the second part. This is probably the most involvement a Mashed script of mine has gotten from the producers, to the degree where I'd honestly call myself a co-writer alongside producer Ben. ...

CLIP: Inskeletons Check

I received commission from my friend Chase, the Coffinjockey, to animate a D&D scene!

This has been fun to work on so far. It'll be 25 seconds. It is about a skeleton who rolls well on an intelligence check. So he's really smart, and stuff. Well, I think the clips speaks for itself.

I believe it will be uploaded on the 2025-08-16 00:15:56 +0000 UTC View Post

I've been very busy this weekend. Apologies! The sketch requests are coming. Expect them soon!

SONG: Get Ready To Start The Show

This is a song I slapped together for the upcoming Start Cast special. 100th episode incoming!

I would call this a rough demo, but, the video's out in two days. This is probably it.

I got the idea to do this forever ago, but only within the last couple weeks did I actually write it. It's a cover of Weird Al's Polkamon. You know, you don't see that much, people changing the lyrics o...

R2SC Season 5 Background Photobash Collage

On the upcoming season of the Start Cast, I was tasked with doing the art for our background image.

For every season, we like giving the show a different theme. Last season was a nautical theme. This time, it's something brand new! I'll leave you to speculate on what exactly it is, based on the image.

I decided to go with a "Photobash" style; basically, a collage of photographs that...

Various Garry's Mod Backgrounds I've Captured

A handful of 3D backgrounds used in the upcoming READY 2 START TOON

To save on resources, in all of the Start Cast animations, we search around 3D maps uploaded to the Garry's Mod workshop on Steam to find sets to match the story.

Here, the sets are a massive auditorium, a theater lobby, a courtroom, and this one hellish-looking wrecked city map. That last one only appears for a si...

Filthy Things

Some assets I made. Might as well show them off!

Look at Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. They're filthy. What's wrong with them? Well, I can't say for sure. They must have been snacking down on something. Dirt? I dunno. You know how kids are, though. Just messy.

Why do I keep using the Munkshrooms so much? It's honestly because of Ryan Ribbity. She is obsessed with them. Whenever we col...

Funny Animation of Seap (I guess that's me)

Fun little bit of animation from the upcoming Start Toon. What more can be said?

I've posted it in gif form because the dialogue is actually revealing a big SPOILER TWIST! Yeah, we're on #spoiler watch! If you could hear the dialogue, you would laugh though. Actually, no. You wouldn't laugh. BUT you will laugh on the Youtube upload, because it has a fourth wall break in it. It'll make sen...

POPCORN choking scene IN COLOR!

Snippet of animation from the soon-to-be-released Ready 2 Start Toon.

I posted the unfinished version of this a little earlier. Now it's finished! Well, except for sound effects. That will be the very last step.

This cartoon is releasing on July 31st! So you're gonna get a look at a lot of stuff a full week early! ENJOY IT! I'm going to post a bunch of stuff right now. I've got catc...

I'm actually going to be pretty busy this week, so it might take longer than usual to complete this one. Please understand :D

GIF: CHocking casters

A little bit of animation I did last night that turned out really fun looking. Maybe some of the best animating I've done in weeks, or months?

These days I honestly haven't had many chances to really focus on doing some good old frame-by-frame drawings. I forgot how genuinely fun it is. This little bit was some of the most fun I've had animating in a while.

Lately, my attention has ...

GIF: Evil Popcorn

Here's the tiniest piece of animation from the Startcast cartoon coming extremely soon.

Can YOU determine the context of this scene? It's actually quite a crucial moment, but I can't spoil much about it.

This feels good to get done. Our goal is to release this next month, and I feel like a lot of that responsibility is hinging on me since my productivity on this project has slowed d...

Next Mashed Cartoon Has Started Production + A Somewhat Important Personal Update

Here is the first storyboard from what I've been writing for Mashed lately. I can share a LITTLE bit of info about it.

This is one I've been trying to get off the ground for a few months now. Things were apparently really busy over at Mashed, so there wasn't a ton of momentum for a while, but now I've finally drafted the script. It seems like they really enjoy this concept, but t...

How To Animate Without Drawing Quite As Much As You Think You Have To

Just a tiny little snippet of animation from the upcoming Ready 2 Start Toon!

We're barreling towards the finish line with this one. Later this month or early next month is still the plan.

This is from an extended moment of dialogue where I kind of needed to break it up between a few poses. I'm going heavy on the corner cutting, however, as to ensure we meet that deadline. I still h...

MAY 2025 SKETCH REQUESTS

It's the sketches that were requested of me during the month of May!

As always, if you made a request that I somehow missed, please let me know!

NOW start making your JUNE requests OK???

VOLUME WARNING: Roar of Ryan

Another clip from the upcoming Startcast cartoon. This one's an extended look at a shot from the trailer we posted today. It's LOUD.

Ryan's mic sensitivity was way up when she recorded this so it utterly blew out the levels. Well, it makes for a very scary and unhinged effect, and I didn't want to make her do all those screams again, so I've kept it!

CLIP: Mitch Midman

A small bit of animation featuring a couple Start Cast-universe characters.

Do you know about Mitch? He most prominently appeared in the Start Cast Season 4 premiere. Ryan devised him as a law school graduate who is forced to work for the most nonsensical company of all time: Ready2Start Inc. His hair...

Ryan Freaking Out In Living Color

Here's a segment from the upcoming Ready to Start Cast cartoon, all ready to go! Well, save for some sound design. I'll get to that later.

At the time of posting this, we're only an hour and a half away from the first trailer of this episode, to be shown at Ready 2 Start Con. The animation has got to be at...

Time To Do This Again. I'm Stuck With Them.

I have so many things to post here, but I've been so busy! I won't write much here. I'll post three more things this week! At LEAST! For now, I'll leave you with these images. I'm sure it doesn't take a ton of imagination to figure out what's happening here.

April 2025 Sketch Requests

I hope this is all the sketch requests I received in the month of April! If it isn't, please message me! Please message me if I missed yours!

Keep requests coming! The next batch is in a month!

Jumpscare BOO!!

I'm getting back into drawing a bit. I had to do some soul-searching for a couple days. I was really downtrodden. I'm shaking off the rust, though, finally. Here are some drawings from a sequence in the upcoming Startcast animation!

Not much to say about these. I really like how the drawings have come out, though! I suppose that is something to say. To be honest, I want to be more okay wi...

Yet Another Top Dog Post!

I am once again showing you this new character called Top Dog!

I've basically finished animation on all his scenes. This is an animation for the podcast I'm on, Ready to Start the Podcast.

I haven't finished all the precise timing and the camera movements and stuff like that, but as for the drawing part of the process, that's all for Top Dog I think.

This is also the first tim...

New Character Top Dog

I've been struggling to find time in the past few days to do artwork. Thankfully, I did manage to find a day to make this. It's from the upcoming Startcast cartoon, of which i have a decent hand in. This is a character called "Top Dog"

Animating him has been such a blast. Look at him go! These poses were insanely fun to draw.

MARCH 2025 Sketch Requests

Here should be every sketch that my loyal paintrons have requested me to draw in the past month!

If you've paid for a request that I missed, please message me right away to correct it!

The sketch request train marches on. Keep them coming, as the next batch is the APRIL SKETCH REQUESTS!

CLIP: Finished animating this intro! Give it a look!

Finished animating this channel intro I got commissioned to do.

It's pretty simple animation-wise, but it was good to stretch those animator muscles a little bit more. I haven't been doing a ton of animation recently, with Mashed it's been all storyboarding. So this was fun to do. The shot of everything getting whisked into the toy box came out lovely, I tried hard to make that look cool....
