Ello everyone! Happy Pride month!~ :3

Real talk if we were more on track this year... We would have tried to get the next full Tails from Planet Symma episode out this month... Oh well maybe February if we really fall behind xD

Anyhoo, regarding that, this month our system has been trying to better coordinate how to really blast through progress on the toon.

Slowly but surly making it work... One of us just gets very wound up with stress over doing shading or complex bits, so working to better trade off where we can.

We wish you a happy Pride Month! now back to animating we go~

Greetings everyone! Update time!

So, before get into animation stuff, Mental Health Awareness Month!

For those who may not know, these past couple of years have been a struggle since well... Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. However a recent breakthrough have had has been helping to manage this easier then before, and much of the art being made this month will be showcasing how we are working towards it~

Have made a few references to it on bluesky and even altered our bio to reflect this, but we realized the only way we can function is going to be as a plural system rather then just as one identity... We will explain more on Tuesday's art piece~

Now, animation talk~

Because of the recent breakthroughs animating has gradually been getting easier and easier again, since making sure got the right mindset to tackle each phase of production is a bit of a challenge. Organizing and self coordination is a process that should get easier as understanding gets clearer.

Anyhoo, hope you all have a good weekend, time to get to work~

Whoops, slipped on another beginning of the month... Well the good news means not putting one of these up on April first xD

Anyhoo, important stuff:

Production on the Tails from Planet Symma episode has been a bit slow, still trying to find what will click to really get locked in.

Positive is did pass the one minute mark in terms of progress... Now 11 more to go xD Once flow state can be achieved will be able to really breeze through this one since lot of the movement is not that tough, even the ones later that may seem more daunting.

Will be getting back to it, just wanted to keep everyone posted~

Ello! ... I almost missed doing my early month updates.... We'll see if can get back to doing em on the first proper again xD

So first, I wanted to thank everyone who checked out Opportunity of the Cybermen~ It was a hold over from last year that got held back because of all my procrastination during Ms. Pac's production... And nearly fell into the same pit with admittedly xD

But thankfully I have been learning more tricks to maintain a better flow while animating, so quicker turnarounds are more likely this year~

And of course, when one project is finished, another begins~

The time has come for me to FINALLY get the next full episode of Tails from Planet Symma finished... Had been sitting on this one for a bit.

I am trying to see if I can get at least one full episode of TFPS out a year, and maybe one or two shorts but we'll see if that pans out~

Already got half of a minute of animation fully rendered so I am hoping to keep up the pace~ Wish me luck as this episode is the longest TFPS full episode yet xD

See you all next month~ And keep an eye out for new art~

Ello everyone!

So, I missed doing my usual first of the month update, the reason being was that I was VERY busy cooking up a cartoon. I am now happy to announce that the first cartoon of mine of 2025 is going to be releasing this coming Thursday on the 27th!

It's a hold over from last year that was delayed due to Ms. Pac-Man but oh well, better late then never~

Am excited to release the Cartoon~

Ello everyone!

So, 2024 is nearly over.... It has been a year xD

It has been VERY bumpy let me tell you, but when looking back one must also be sure to look at the good as well.

For myself there have been a few victories, like on the art front this has hands down been my most productive year ever! Literally made more artwork then the past few years combined, and even managed some of my best work yet ^u^

Easily a lot of the Transformer work I produced came out very good, and have been playing around with different art styles like the ones I've been using for my Sabri pieces or the TF2 style been developing. I defiantly want to play around with them more in the coming year~

And of course, on the animation front, easily the biggest victory for me has been FINALLY getting the Ms. Pac-Man completed. That project had turned into such a ball and chain on me, especially this year when it had been holding off a lot of other projects that had been hoping to start this year, it is my biggest regret having procrastinated on it for so long... But it is in the past now~

For Tails from Planet Symma. earlier this year I got the third full episode Cafe Rush out, and then later the short Not Budging!. If I can help it I would love to to make sure there is at least one TFPS full episode and a short out each year (two shorts would be the ultimate goal, but time will tell) since I do got SO many stories planned for the series I want to get out, and any chance to work with the voice cast is always a joy for me~

And finally on the animation front are the two Transformer shorts I contributed to the Blamformers collab, the G1 one Clashing Waves in particular I am very proud with since got to use my Soundwave voice impression I had been developing for years, and it made me so happy to hear how many people liked it ^u^

So for all the bumps and.... Major roadblocks this year, there has been some progress, and have been learning more and more about ways to help myself overcome the hurdles that cause me hangups.

Time will tell if will improve in 2025... Oh boy there are going to be some challenges this coming year

But anyhoo, happy Eve of New Years eve everyone! :D

Hope you have a good day

Ello everyone!

So, first and foremost, I wanted to thank everyone who checked out and enjoyed the Ms. Pac cartoon released earlier this week~

That project started to feel like such a ball and chain on me, I kept procrastinating on it because of perceptual worry and not feeling at all confident with the results, so I cannot begin to describe the relief I feel at all the positive feedback~

For sure going forward, I am gonna do what I can to make sure projects don't take 4 years to finish xD Gotta work on not overthinking when making decisions and just take it step by step, my tendency to get overwhelmed by the whole was a major pit I kept falling into.

But, that is all in the past now, unironically I never thought I'd get to say this again after this: when one project is finished, another begins.

And let me tell yea Ms. Pac was holding back SO many dang cartoon projects was chomping at the bit to wrap up xD As a matter of fact already am having a fast turn around one before I get to my next big one, god being able to embrace limited animation with fluctuating frame rates feels so freeing after being stuck on one that was "oops, all 2s"

Anyhoo, thank you all again for the support~ Being able to share a creation is the spark of this artist~ And I hope you have a good holidays or just are able to find some comfort in this time~

Ello! Nearly forgot to do my first of the month update... And I have a big one for yea!

It's done! After 4 years of insecurity leading to procrastination, the Ms. Pac-Man cartoon's animation is ALL DONE!

I am now working on slappin on some sound effects, but I now got a release date locked in finally, the 17th!

Words cannot begin to describe how much relief I have in finally having this in the can, it's been holding back SO many other projects I actually wanted to work on.

It held up so much that even after this gets posted, my butt is going right back to animating since got a BUNCH o other toons waiting to be finished.

Hope you all look forward to the release! : D

On this day, 5 years ago, I uploaded to this site a cartoon called Mercenary Cooking Time

It was the first proper cartoon I had ever finished, a proper story and not just a collab entry or a practice clip. At the time I did not know many voice actors or any musicians, so I was limited one what I could do with it, and how long I could make it.

But a lot has changed since then.

Since that cartoon I have gotten an original series off the ground, have been able to work with incredible people of so many other creative skill sets. It is genuinely surreal sometimes, a lot of what I am able to do now is stuff I could only dream of during that first production.

Tallying up all the animation that has been completed (including the soon to release Ms. Pac-Man cartoon, but more on that on a later date), all of it combined makes for a runtime of over an hours worth! (I guess I have an estimate for how long it would take me to animate a feature xD)

For real, I cannot put into words how grateful I am not just to all who have supported me on this journey, but to all the amazing people I have been able to work with to bring these cartoons to life. Animation is one of the ultimate collaborative art mediums and is at it's best when you get to work with others.

Here is to the hope of in another 5 years of keeping the creating going~

Again, thank you all so much for your support ^u^

Ello everyone~ A new month so time for a new update~

The spooky season definitely helped give me a good push~ There is now nearly just 1 minute and 30 seconds of animation left to do, then will be finally be free from animating on this project xD The finish line is in sight, and sound design will be a breeze once finally at it.

There are so many projects I am chomping at the bit to finally get to, so time will tell if this month will be the one.

Hope you can all have a good month~ ... Best of luck and here is hoping for a good future
