STRETCH GOALS ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Introducing Painter Seap's Paintreon Stretch Goals!!

When I'm working on stuff, I often have to be pretty choosey when it comes to what I prioritize. Unfortunately, a lot of ideas have fallen to the backburners, and the WAY-backburners, as a result.

To reassure everyone that I still have hope for these ideas, I'm making them STRETCH GOALS! Basically, when I make enough per-month mon...

TEXT: YOUR SECOND POST OF THE WEEK

I'm supposed to be posting twice a week. So I'm obligated to share the OTHER thing I'm working on!

This time, it's another project with the Ready to Start Show crew! If you're unfamiliar, this is the group of friends that I run a podcast with, the Start Cast. We want to regularly put out fun little cartoons starring our personalities. So here's one of those!

This is an idea Ryan had...

TEXT: On The Next Episode Of PaintraSeaPea On Mashed

IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE I POSTED. OOPS. MY BAD.

If you don't know where I've been, I was actually putting together a live production of Family Feud in VR Chat. IT WAS SO FUN. Go watch the VOD now!!!

But Now I'm BACK. With much to report. The next Mashed video to continue my career has been approved! I act...

PICTURE: Youtube Short idea?!

Just one image today. Not much to say about it, other than it's a short cartoon I wanna do on my main channel. I did that last year, and ironically Taranza was in that one too!

This one is a visual joke based on a scene from a cartoon. You might recognize it! And I've probably mentioned wanting to make this on some forum somewhere before. Just gonna be a cute little animation that I thoug...

VIDEO: Floweratouille Animatic PT 2+Deleted Scenes

In lieu of the release of Part 2 on Mashed, here's the second half of the Floweratouille animatic!

Look at that! We got 7 minutes of cartoon out already this year! As I've mentioned before, the Floweratouille story was actually written to be one piece, but it got split into two videos for production schedule reasons. THIS part, the second part, is where it really takes off if you ask me. ...

January 2024 Sketch Requests

The month is over! Here's the requests I received! I drew 'em all! Hopefully! If I forgot yours, let me know! I will make it up to you!

As always, if you want to request me to draw YOU a character, send me a message here! Or on twitter, @PaintraSeaPea! Or to my email, paintraseapea@gmail.com! It's really e...

CLIP: Those flowers are up to something

Hah. Chicken run, ever seen it? Anyway, here's some Flower animation for the upcoming Flower cartoon.

Drawing and animating all of the flower's different gestures and animations was really fun. I like seeing how far I can push what the eyes and the "hands" do without completely breaking their logic. What is that logic? Well:

1. The leaves always have two tips e...

CLIP: What day is it?!

Excerpt from Floweratouille part 2 coming in February.

Had to post this today. You know? I had to.

CLIP: Floweratouille Animatic

To celebrate today's release, here's the full animatic for the first half of FLOWERATOUILLE!

I've mentioned it before, but this was originally planned to just be one big video; I was told after the boarding process had started to figure out a way to split it into two parts. I think leaving it at the ball was the best pla...

AUDIO: Presented without comment

What do you think?

CLIP: Animation COMPLETE!

I really liked how this bit of animation turned out so here it is! In full color! FINISHED!!

This was the last thing I had left to animate. Look forward to the video this week! Now I just gotta start animation on the second part...

CLIP: These Beautiful backgrounds, that I'm adding at the last minute

Hello again. I said I'd be back. This time I just want to share some of the background work on this week's short.

The backgrounds on this one are done by Imoge, who did the backgrounds in Sonic Babies. It's honestly fantastic work. There are a few backgrounds in this one that I hope will knock you dead, like really flip your world upside down. LOL. Well, that's how I felt at least, gettin...

CLIP: 30 Seconds In The Can Good Morning

"In the can" as in "It's all done and it looks great!" Well, it's mostly done. Exciting!

I meant to post yesterday but I was distracted. I should let it be known, I've been working really late into the morning on these recently. DON'T WORRY, I'm sleeping. I'm just sleeping late. And working late. Video comes out SO soon.

I'm going to try to make it a plan to show off little things e...

CLIP: Cute wipe transition

I'M STILL HERE! OK, Whenever I take a while to post twice a week, it's actually because I'm hard at work. Honest!

Today we have a tailor shop themed wipe transition that will be in the new video. The new video, for mashed... Say when is that... coming out.... NEXT WEEK!?!?!? 😱😱😱😱😱

But yes. The transition. It's cute ain't it? It was actually sort of complicated to set ...

PICTURE: A thing I will paint and then two color refs

Some images today. Well, the title really explains it all.

That first picture I want to make into one of those really detailed, painterly kinda still shots. You know the ones. You've seen cartoons.

The other two are references for what colors to use in a couple scenes. Non-default colors. I drew them and King chose the colors. Luigi's decked out in his "cigarette suit" as I'd call i...

CLIP: The First little finished bit of animation colored and everything heck yes what the heck YESSSS

Look at this! LOOK! It's a few seconds of finished animation on the next Mashed video I'm working on!

Right now it's been animation city go go go draw draw draw! I'm hoping to get ~4 minutes of it done in the next month. Root for me! We got the same BG artist from Sonic Babies back on this too. They're so good, really looking forward to how all that turns out.

You know, looking at t...

CLIP: Jogging

Here's a snippet of animation from the upcoming video, which is supposedly arriving at the end of this month. It's been a bit quiet on Mashed's end, and often when that happens I expect some sort of delay, but I'm not counting on it. Gotta work fast.

Hopefully this gets out on time! I'm in big trouble if not, hehehe! Nahh but I've got like... phew, I guess a fifth of it drawn, assuming we...

December 2023 Sketch Requests

They're finally here! The final sketch requests of the year! Or the first ones of the year. Whatever you want!!

As always, if you made a request for December and I missed it, please let me know and I'll correct it!

It's January! Start requesting sketches for January! YAY!

CLIP: Listen, It's A New Animatic With Voice Acting And Stuff

Here's a snippet of the animatic for the next video I'm working on!

It's not much since I don't want to give too much away quite yet, but you can get a little tickle of a taste of the story from this. And that voice acting I've been talking about! Like I said before, I really love the Flower's performance here. The flower was so fun to draw too, I really tried to stretch and bend the shap...

PICTURE: Incredible daisies 🌼 Bla bla bla 📞

I really like these faces for talking on the phone. She's on the phone chatting up a storm shut up girl!!! LOL. Just kidding. We love it.

If you're reading this now, I'm done with the storyboards! That means it's like a month before this video drops. Chop chop! Oh, did I mention it got split in two? I genuinely don't remember if I mentioned that. Well, it did. Mostly for financial schedul...

CLIP: They're BACK!!!!

It's Christmas Eve time. Years ago, honestly, back when I made the original, I had the idea in my head to make an HD version of the Christmas Toads video. Now I have the perfect opportunity! Maybe it's not going exactly how I envisioned it years ago, however...

PICTURE: Boards + Fun character drawings I really like

The boarding continues! It's wrapping up now. Really, I'm supposed to have these done by the end of this week. So wish me luck! There isn't much left to cover.

Along with the usual storyboards, there's the "fun character drawings I really like" in the last two images. The first of which is just a random, super-aggressive drawing of the Talking Flower. That's not for anything in the video,...

PICTURE: Extreme Expression

Hey! Wow I've been posting a lot this week, huh? Well, I feel bad for being a bit dry in November. All the people generous enough to offer some of their precious December money deserve something extra.

This will probably be my last post for the week. Because the week is mostly over. I just wanted to share this really crazy expression I drew just now (Last image). Isn't that an INSANE draw...

AUDIO: Something weird, I don't know

Don't tell anyone about this, please. It's not for an upcoming video. Not yet at least. This is just something I'm making for the sake of allowing it to exist. Here's a small demo I recorded. I actually hit some pretty high notes. And then I didn't hit some pretty middle ones. It's a demo, don't worry. What do you think? I don't know, haha. I'm going to write a whole 5 minute song for this.

PICTURE: Now in stunning high definition

I've just spent the last few hours remastering the Christmas Toad assets in the quality of the source sprite from Paper Mario.

All the Toad related assets I'd made for the E3 and Christmas videos, I had based on a Twitter reupload of the original sprite. So it was like really low quality. But you'd honestly never notice because, obviously, I deliberately never brought those videos above 2...

PICTURE: Tennis outfits

More storyboard drawings! Right now the deadline for these boards is the end of next week. The video as a whole is aiming for a late January release, I've been told. Very soon! I'm gonna be so busy. That's OK though. Being busy is OK.

Here we've got two more characters introduced: Mario and Yoshi! I've got all the classics, don't I? In this scene here I actually originally wanted a sequen...

PICTURE: Le Tailor de Toad

More storyboard drawings! Heavily featuring this shop location.

Last time I talked about how I have to do background layouts on these. I'm noticing I keep putting a really high amount of fine-tuned detail into the establishing shots. Not sure why. I guess cause there's no animation, I feel obligated to put a little extra in the sketch.

There's a really fun bit of acting here with Lu...

PICTURE: More storyboards. 2 pages down and done

It's really really late at night! More storyboards to share with you time!!!

I've been trying to draw these every day. Like a job! LOL. Yeah. No no but for real, here's some more drawings I like from the next video for Mashed. Since I'm drawing so much on this, I'm hoping my updates will be much more frequent than they were in November. I had to chill out in November big time.

I've ...

PICTURE: I've Started Boarding The Next Video! Wahoo!

HELLO! I meant to make this update a couple days ago, when I first started boarding. But guess what? I just started boarding!!!! Storyboarding that is.

So far I've been digging it. I've gotten a really clear process down for how these videos are made now. Keep the staging as simple as possible. Or the framing or whatever. Whatever the professional term is. Dynamic shots are cool but I hav...
