Wander's The Healer

If you remember in Part 2, Star got her hand hurt by the Gem Monster. Fortunately, Wander's bandaging her hand up so she can get back into the fight!

What Chu Got? #2

I'm happy I was able to get a cartoon like this in terms of animation and length done within the time I gave it! It shows the efficiency of the new production pipeline.

I hope you guys enjoy it!

I'm going to do something a little different. The short that will be released to the public will be part of a compilation videosto appeal to Youtube's algorithm malarky. The standalone v...

Shot 44

Production on "Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls!" Part 4 has started!
This shot is unique however. As mentioned a while back, Part 3 and 4 was originally one short, and when I decided to split it, Shot 44 was supposed to be at the end of Part 3. Before I animated Sylvia in the shot, I decided to move it over to Part 4, and decided to animate it later, and now the time has come to do so!<...

Doggy Has a Lightsaber

But why?
From an upcoming episode of Ask a Toon. Production is almost done, but I don't want to release two Ask a Toon shorts in a row. So it's being pushed to late December or even January, depending on if the next Kassandra cartoon will be ready by then. I might have to release it in early December, if I'm too busy to do compositing for the "What Chu Got?" done in time.

I like working f...

Upcoming Ask A Toon

Currently working on the last Conroy Cat cartoon for a while what with Team Teen coming back.
I might have to create a similar hand, using it twice in the cartoon and neither is at the angle I want.

Team Teen Returns in 2017

Drew a bunch of cartoons during a stream. Drew almost all of them from memory.

So the good news is that Team Teen is being uncancelled. The copyright claim scare was a nuisance, but not something that should keep me from producing what is the most popular video series on my YouTube channel! And thanks to a new production pipeline, I'll hopefully be able to produce episodes much...

Running Through the Landscape

Pretty happy with how the backgrounds came out in this "What Chu Got" short.

And that Papyrus skull is as close to an Undertale ref as I'm willing to do at the moment. Still have no intent to play that game.

Conroy Speeds By

In this storyboard panel, Conroy testing out some new shoes, in a new "What Chu Got?"

Ask a Toon Ep.2

I'm really sorry for not posting much guys. I offered to do a review of Moho 12 (formerly Anime Studio), and it took me a while to understand the program, and now it's taking me a while to write up a decent review.

Anyhoo, due to my living situation not really improving, the production and release schedule had to be reworked yet again. Now for the rest of the year, we'll release a new cartoon ev...

Kassandra in "Catching a Bus"

After three years, I finally made a new cartoon of Kassandra, one of my oldest characters!These shorts are quick, simple and short. Just how I like 'em! I hope you guys do too! Let me know what you guys think of it!

A Gramaphone

I wonder what kind of music it's playing?

Doggy Booty Shaking

People really hate twerking, but booty shaking has been around since early cartoons.

When you gotta groove, ya gotta shake what your mother gave ya!

Short Notice Stream

As mentioned long ago, though patrons get a behind the scenes look at the cartoons, the streams where we produce the cartoons can be viewed by everyone. I asked months ago if this was okay, and everyone that responded seemed cool with it. However, my streams are deleted off of Youtube once they're done, so patrons can still get pics of the cartoon's progress. Future streams will be saved on my com...

"Awesome Tips To Life" Title Card

One of two series of Kassandra shorts. This one is inspired by the "Good Idea / Bad Idea" segments from Animaniacs, with the added benefit of having allowing viewers to submit ideas. I pitched the concept to viewers in a stream, and already someone submitted an idea for the next episode! This is great because since these are made so far in advance, I have to wait for the first episode to be releas...

Helen Screaming

Kassandra likes to help make Helen's life more exciting and fun, but Kassandra's oblivious to what humans can withstand.
Needless to say, you'll be seeing Helen scream a lot.

One thing I wanted to do with the Kassandra series is have female characters engage in the same slapstick and wild takes you'd usually see a male character go through.

Kassandra Shot Progress

Wanted to show how the shot's coming along. The background is rough, but is also going to be replaced with something simpler. As you can see, her arms are rough drawings that are placed inside her arm symbols. Today, I clean them up.
Unlike Conroy and Doggy's rig, Kassandra and Helen's don't have a lot of pre-built assets. As time goes on, their library of body parts will grow, allowing for fas...

Back In Production!

After almost four weeks, I'm back working on animations. I'm close to falling behind schedule since I still have business to take care of in other areas, but life carries on. Unfortunately, I'm also not in the house I was moving into, and currently residing in a small house with other family members. I can't work late in the night on projects, since I don't want to disturb anyone else, so things a...

What The Nicktoons Movie Could Look Like

Alas, the final animated installment of Cartoon Heroes Unite. An animated rendition of an abandoned fan comic over five years in the making.

Throughout the early months in the year, I flipped back and forth thinking about whether I should actually make this. I knew to myself if I didn't create something for Nicktoons 25th anniversary, I'd definitely regret it. After all, you only celebrate t...

Team Teen Size Chart Full

Working on a cartoon with characters of various art styles, some of whom that would never crossover with each other, it's difficult to decide how big they are next to each other. The trick is to determine how tall a character is is to compare the head size. I think it turned out pretty well don't you think?

Nicktoon Villains

A clean version of this.

For the next few weeks, I'll only upload one piece (and a downloadable file every other week), as opposed to two. I'm moving out really soon, and as of this writing I'm not entirely sure where I'll be moving to yet. In the meantime, whilst packing up, I'll also write scripts for C...

Toons These Days: Wander Over Yonder

Due to what's happening with the copyright claims with Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls, the public release of that cartoon will be moved to July, whilst this TTD episode comes out this month instead. So naturally, you guys get to see it first!

This is the finale to the third season of Toons These Days! It's also the 65th episode, so we have enough for weekday syndication!

In all se...

Revenge of The Copyright Claim

Turner Latam Kids has it out for me, as they now went after the first Convergence at Gravity Falls episode. Like the second video, a dispute is in progress and now I have to wait 30 days for them to respond, which means another video with monetization has been turned off until then, but at least the second video's monetization will come back on in a few days, unless they want to counter the disput...

Drawing the X-Jet

The X-Jet from the short-run series "The X's" makes an appearance in the Nicktoons trailer (the X's themselves would have made an appearance if not for an abandoned scene, but more on that in a future post).

The pic on the left is a screen grab from the show's intro, as it's on the screen for less than a second. I didn't really feel like looking through 20 episodes of the show to find a decent p...

Team Teen: Convergence at Gravity Falls! Part 3

Here it is, the final installment on a story cut short. In some ways, I'm glad this is where I ended it. Part 4 doesn't feature new characters and would end in an even bigger cliffhanger.

There's a bit of irony here. Before Part 1 was released to the public, I toyed with the idea of making it a trilogy. The original Part 2 was going to consist of what is now Part 2,3 and the unfinished Part 4. T...

Nicktoons Movie, Milestone Goal, Toonagram on Break Again

The Nicktoons movie trailer features a lot of ideas I had from an abandoned fancomic I made over ten years, including this scene here. I was never a huge fan of Ren and Stimpy, so as far as I can think of, this is the first time drawing a character from the show.

Guys, normally I add time in the schedule to draw a Toonagram cartoon and tackle other projects but I'm going to be really busy in Jun...

Toonagram #24

The gag's been done before, I'm sure.

El Tigre in the Nicktoons Movie Trailer

El Tigre is one of my favorite Nicktoons of all time, so of course he's going to appear in this!

Despite the copyright claim fiasco, I feel too much is done already for me to just abandon the project.

Toonagram #23

Someone suggested "Bob the Builder vs. Fix It Felix" and this is what I came up with. I didn't want them to fight, but I wanted to get a sense that there's tension between the two.

I also wanted to go with Bob's older, more iconic look, as he appears more realistic in his most recent show.

The Copyright Claim

Welp, despite all the fan animations online, I never thought this would end up happening, but it's just my luck I suppose.

Basically, Tuner (which owns Cartoon Network and Steven Universe), or more specifically and oddly enough, its Latin American division, claims that I've used their visual content in the second episode of "Convergence at Gravity Falls!" Usually, this occurs  when y...
