Hello! Productivity has been pretty spotty lately. I have a few different projects I keep bouncing between. Here's a channel intro I was recently commissioned to do. Since I last posted about it, I've added much more colors and details. This one is pretty close to being finished, actually. Maybe I should finish it today... Yeah
2025-03-28 20:29:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe conclusion to Sonic's Last Life is here, so now you get to watch the very animatic it was based upon!
You'll notice the ending here is a bit different from how it plays out in the full release. Some time after I finished this, it was suggested to me that the ending could use a bit more of a punch. So, I later added a lot more buildup to it, and a bit more of a dramatic setting. I was ...

I will admit, this completely snuck up on me! The return of Sonic's Last Life is not on the horizon, it's basically here! I haven't been posting a ton of preview images since most of my work has slowed down and it's been largely up to other sides of production getting it out the door. I'm really impressed with their work, though, especially with how fast it's having to be finished. I actually d...

OK, that's a vague title. I don't want to give anything away about it since it's not my own work. But I did want to share this!
It's a little bit of animation here. It's animated on threes, which I think gives it a kind of choppy "all over the place" look. I wanted a little chaotic dynamic bit of animation. This here's a pretty rough pass of it. I want to add more objects falling into the...

This is a little animated snippet from an upcoming Ready to Start the Podcast animation. That's right, I can still animate!!!!
This one is definitely not coming out until June at the earliest. I'm putting money on it. I'm animating a few scenes in it though! I helped out with a lot of the writing too. It's gonna be really fun, OK!

I've drawn these as reference for the animator on Sonic's Last Life PART 2. It's a slew of special character appearances!
I figured these would be neat to show off without really spoiling anything about the story. These were pretty fun to draw. The majority of this story is heavily Sonic-focused, so I was eager to find an excuse to jam in a bunch of cameos. And look! It's Cr...
2025-02-28 02:16:23 +0000 UTC View PostAh, did the cliffhanger leave you on the edge of your seat? Then here's the first minute of Sonic's Last Life PART 2, in animatic form!
Animation has already begun on this one. Right now I'm mainly focused on drawing up references for the animator. I should have material to show for that soon!
2025-02-26 19:14:56 +0000 UTC View PostHere is the full animatic for Sonic's Last Life, which recently released on Mashed. I actually didn't do any of the full animation for this project, but all of my drawings can be seen in these storyboards, so it might provide you an interesting and different flavor.
I'm really proud of the work I did here! The way Bryan Vee translated the final running sequence in particular blows my mind...

That should be all the sketches requested of me throughout the month of January.
If I somehow missed yours, please let me know! As a reminder, the best way to make sure I get to yours is to send a DM through Patreon, @PaintraSeaPea on Twitter, or an email to paintraseapea@gmail.com.

A bunch of model sheet reference drawings of various Sonic designs from the next Mashed video.
My friend King who works on visual development on these videos helped with cleaning up and coloring a lot of these. There's a lot of them that appear in this cartoon! Even more than what you see here. I wanted to make most of them look genuinely gruesome and horrible, a step beyond "cartoonishly...

What can I say? It's storyboards from part two of Sonic's Extra Lives.
Now, part one hasn't come out yet, but it's being animated as I speak. I'm actually not doing any of the animation for part 1. It was decided to let someone else take care of that while I finish the part 2 animatic. I'll probably do some animation on part 2... maybe. Honestly, I can't say for sure.

2025-01-27 01:40:09 +0000 UTC View PostHere's roughly a minute of the next Sonic video at Mashed!
This one is going to be a pretty drastic departure from my usual type of video on the channel, which I'm very excited about. I've pitched a couple other darker, horror-ish ideas to them, and this is the first one that everyone's been on board with.
Here, you should be able to get an idea for the desolate atmosphere I'm aim...
Me and my friends at Ready to Start the Podcast have been working on a cartoon to promote the incoming fifth season of our audio web series.
There's a new character introduced named Top Dog that I storyboarded. I wanted to share some of those boards because I'm extremely proud of him. I wanted to draw him as if a Season 10+ SpongeBob character suddenly busted into the cartoon.
I hav...

I finished drawing a comic but I still want to color it. Let me show it to you!!
Moon is making one of his model kits and trying to use a knife to cut the parts loose. Stupid boy.
This one was a pretty cute idea, I wanted something that shows all three of these family members. Moon, Grandpa Wane, and little Balala. It looks like some of Moon's bad manners are influencing the baby. W...

It's how Sonic is going to look in the next Mashed video! Plus, some background art concepts!
For all these Mashed videos with Sonic, I've been going off the same template I drafted all the way back in Clone Chaos, but modifying the linework and colors a bit for each new project.
For this one, we've got a very dark and desaturated palette, as to match the more mortifying setting and...

I've been drawing busy so much lately, storyboarding away! Here's a bunch of "Phantom Sonics" I had to design!
Progress is going well on this one. It's actually turned out a bit bigger than I was expecting initially! We really wanna push the horror theme with this one, so I've been dedicating a lot of the run time to building suspense and punctuating the scary moments. Hopefully it comes ...

It's all the sketch requests I received in the month of November! Hopefully it's all of them. It should be! Let me know if it isn't.
Keep those requests coming! It's December now! A new batch awaits!
Hello PAINTRONS. Just wanted to let everyone know that I am partway through the sketches requested in November. However, a good handful of your transactions haven't gone through yet.
I know Patreon changed how it charges users in the past month, so just make sure all your settings and whatnot are still in order so I can fulfill your request. Trust me, I'm often just as confused as you ar...
Hello! I think it's finally time to hone back in on this old project for a moment. It's the Aqua Teen Kirby Short that almost-but-never-quite was!
A few months ago, I reached a Paintreon Stretch Goal that dictated I would resume progress on this video. Lots of people are fans of the Kirby Shorts I've done using audio from Aqua Teen Hunger Force with Kirby characters animated over it, and ...
2024-12-01 00:31:05 +0000 UTC View PostI'm still posting! I just finished writing an entire first-draft script. Here's a page of it!
This one is an upcoming Mashed video. That's right, they're BACK. This time it's an idea way different in tone than anything I've ever made. It's a psychological horror! Not many jokes in it at all.
Sonic and Tails set out on their adventure once again. They’re running along, ...

Over the past few days, a new story for Mashed has been developing that we're all really enthusiastic about. Here are some early sketches for it!
Basically, the idea is called "Sonic's Extra Lives" for the time being. The concept is that Sonic the Hedgehog DIES one day, and is sent to an afterlife populated by all of his previous deaths. The idea is that, when you die and revive at a chec...

I don't have much to write here right now, mostly because it's very late in the night and I ought to be getting to bed so I can wake up early enough in the morning to continue finishing this video. Ahhh....

Hello there! It's been a little while since my last post, as usual. I've been busy! I finally have something to show you, though.
If you weren't aware, I'm about to reach the 10th anniversary of the very first animation on my YouTube channel. To celebrate, I'm releasing my 100th VIDEO! It's going to be a little medley of all of the songs in my Birthday Dodecagon series, but with extended ...

This is just the background in my latest cartoon that I JUST POSTED an early access upload of! The entire thing!! ALL THREE SECONDS of it!!
It's basically just a generic conception of the Christian hell. Buncha fire all over the place, lava, blablablah. It was actually pretty fun to make, I'm proud of it. Colored all spicy and red hot. Feel the heat!

I think this one is finished. In terms of animation, most definitely. I'm contemplating adding more to the audio, like some fire sound effects and some little imp noises. I could also make the first background a bit more involved than just...
