HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 (and 1M Sub Q&A)

Hello, everyone!! Happy new year!! 🎉🥳🎊

I'm working on some new stuff but don't have much to show, in the meantime I am planning to make a live-action Q&A video to celebrate the channel passing 1M subs (It crossed over right on Christmas day which was WILD)

I will be posting about this on all my social media but I figured I'd give priority to Patreon and any questions here first, if you have a question you'd like to submit for the Q&A video please comment it below!

Some friends and I will go over all the potential questions later and pick some out.

I hope everyone is doing great! I am really looking forward to 2024, I have a lot of projects planned... 🤔

Watching the QA now so I know I’m late to the punch but maybe you’ll see this but I was curious about putting the song Set on You under a different Alias and will Billy’s Bones come out with more music?

The Better Joe

Hey worthi! I’m a bit new here so sorry if this question is late or has been answered before! Are you okay with people getting tattoos of your work? Tiny Steve with a lollipop lives in my head rent free and I would also like him to live on my arm but I wouldn’t if it’s against your wishes! Congrats btw!

Siren

I know he did one way back in the day but a new updated version would be so cool to see

Carlos Arredondo

Haven't checked the patreon in a bit so hopefully you're still taking questions lol but anyway: I love listening to your stuff on Spotify as it's my app of choice, so I gotta know if there are any plans for adding some of your old songs on there? I know most of it was fansongs which can be iffy territory but I have hope it would fall under parody or fair use or some such.

Trent Hutson

Mr. Worthington, it's been awesome to hear so much about your rankin-bass obsession. would you say there's been any other stop-motion works that have inspired you during your career? cheers to 2024, hope your having an awesome one so far :-)

Roey

Congrats! I really enjoy your music. Who are some of your favorite musicians or who are some musicians you draw inspiration from?

Acibesh

Dear Ian worthikids, will you ever make figures of your characters? Or other merch like things?

Stearling Rat master

I've been curious since I found you guys a couple years back; are we gonna get a series about story behind the music video for Wired? Or is that part of Big Top Burger lore?

Anthony Sotello

Hi another question! Where does bigtop burger take place? Where did Steve land when he came down to Earth?

Dumb_Sprout

I know this has probably been asked in the past (if so, sorry), but: if you had to restart learning how to animate, which program would you use and do you have any advice you wish someone told you when you started?

Myriad

Are there any art/animation styles that you adore and hope to get to emulate in the future? (Past examples being Rankin Bass and King's Quest V)

AnimatedArtisan

Holy shit, congratulations!! super stoked to see everything you're planning on putting out this year!!

Rohan Kashyap

What healthy or tasty snacks do you like to eat? Do you drink from cup, mug, or bottle most?

JUST WHATEVER, IDK

I'd love some BB and Captain Yajima t-shirts and other merch!

Nathan 'Klokwurk' Mead

Omg congrats Ian!!! Can't wait for the new year and to see what new things you come up with :D I guess my only question right now is are you planning on releasing any merch for bigtop burger or captain yajima? :]

Dumb_Sprout

What is your node setup in Blender for the Rankin and Bass film look? I know in one of your behind the scenes you mentioned several blurs but maybe something breaking it down further would be cool.

Eric Schuran

Is there any connected universes/lore between Bigtop Burger and Wire? Where did you learn Japanese? What is your favorite foley art/sound that you've created?

Kim M.

Who’s your favorite character from Bigtop and/or of all time?

Roller Dirvy

You assume it’s possible to rein in Chris Fleming

pencilhands

cesare gay y/n

pencilhands

This feels goofy compared to some of the thoughtful questions here but: what's the best thing to order from Big Top Burger? What's the least awful thing to order at Zomburger?

PotentPinion

What is your favorite animal?

Cam

What is your general process for sound effects/foley work?

Deformed Rabbit

Congrats!! I remember you saying in one of your streams that the marimba is your favorite instrument. Do you plan on implementing it more into your music now that you have one?

inklin

Congratulations! What would be your wildest collaboration?

Corplos

Absolutely well deserved! Congrats! Question: I noticed that Steve and the other Real Genuine Clowns never have visible ears. Are they covered up by their hair or not there at all?

Sia Dicorte

What were your favourite animated shows growing up? Were there any in particular that made you think, I want to make my own!

Abi Wright

I think a “how to” tutorial on the 3D models of your characters from the basic modeling all the way to rigging would be an awesome thing to see from you. Your work is amazing Worthi and just seeing a work in progress would be really inspiring to those like myself.

Carlos Arredondo

If you were to try a whole new medium for an animation, what would you like to try? I would vote for animated cheese sculptures.

Jacob Marks

After wrangling all my friends into watching your magnificent works, we have this to ask: Why did you let Chris Fleming ad lib so many lines? (not upset, just curious)

BlaiddydApostle

What's the biggest thing that surprised you when your channel started gaining traction?

Justdunkaroos

What's something you wish you had known when you first set foot into making faux stop motion in a digital environment?

Swishy Mischief

CONGRATS ON 1 MIL!!! Are there any major inspirations for your style of storytelling/comedy??

BruceyBear

Really happy to hear you’re getting the recognition your art and stories deserve :) Seriously, it’s not all that crazy to me to hear your art has reached so many people, I’m just surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world and making it known. My question is, do you have a certain process when building and coming up with stories/ideas? I tend to struggle when developing any idea of mine, and often don’t even know where to begin. Or I do, but I can never finish what I start. I’m just curious to know what steps you take to approach your art, considering motivation, work ethic, and any routines/rituals you have. Thanks for indulging, and congrats on this huge milestone!

Courtney Turgeon

CONGRATULATIONS!! What haunts your nightmares?

nomral

I have a strong suspicion that BTB is leading into this! I think Wire and BTB take place in the same universe and BTB is gonna go the way of many a series that starts out fun and goofy: it ends up morphing into something much more epic.

Cordelia Specifically

What is your favorite kind of cookie?

Lexi

How do you decide which bits to write completely, and which bits to trust the voice actors to flesh out or improvise on?

Doomcard10

Do you see yourself putting together an indie game someday? I know you did some animation on later alligator, and i love Free Apple! Would be amazing to see an indie game with that Worthikids charm someday!

Bryson McBee

do you ever find yourself at low points when it comes to creating your art and music? if so, what helps you find your way out of those moments to pick up the pen/instrument again? also congrats !!! 🎉🎉🎉 you deserve it all and so much more !!! you and your work has been such a huge inspiration to me for many years and i'm excited for anything else you decide to do in the future and to see how much more you'll grow! 💌

pazootsy

What does inspire you? Any cool artists or media you would like to recommend?

Xulyro Axamit

Congrats! Do you have any plans to continue the adventures of Captain Yajima ?

Baron Mercury

Hello Ian and friends!! Will you be releasing official merch in 2024? Would absolutely love to get my hands on a BIGTOP BURGER: OST vinyl! <3

Sam Smith

As someone whose art takes on so many forms, what do you think of yourself as first and foremost? (Artist, Animator, Director, Musican, Voice Actor, etc...)

Joshua Martin Paul Saruga

Congrats on 1M!! Do you have any advice on staying focused on a project and not losing motivation? I love your animations!

Ekko

Congrats!! What is your dream project? (If you have one and would like to share, of course!)

emzurl

Will there ever be more content from the Clown - Vampire universe we saw in "Wire" ?

qu0tendeutscher

you should be so proud. you’ve worked for years and have only gotten more prolific. i don’t know if i have any other questions aside from how much i have to beg for you to finish the femmebot animation haha jk. keep it up, i cant wait until BTB continues!

Cordelia Specifically

For how long have you been doing art? (I know from your dA it's been a long time haha.) Drawing, animation, 3D, music, sound, it feels like you do everything. Do you have a favorite medium? Any insights or thoughts, either retrospective or looking ahead, about your art journey, work schedule, creative process you're willing to share? A lot of artists look up to you and it can feel like you manifested out of pure talent when there was a lifetime of hard work behind it all and I want to hear more about that 😤 Happy New Year!

Jay Doe

Do you have a favorite type of tree/plant?

Kristen Rice

Do you have any silly fun facts about any of your characters you can share? (Like favorite foods,hobbies,habits or interests they have)

Slashack (Cesare's Wife)

CONGRATS, FRIEND!!!!!! So proud of you, and excited to see all the things you put out in the future. 🥰 Do any of the BTB gang eat food from their own truck? (If so, what are they making and is any of it wild? Tim gives me Frankenstein meal vibes where it’s just a bit of everything altogether in one huge off-menu BTB meal lmao)

Alicia M.

You have your hand in many mediums (music, animated tv, video game animation, etc.). Is there a new medium you plan on exploring in 2024?

Kristen Rice

Do you change your character designs frequently after hearing the voice actors read lines? How do you adjust your characters ti your own voice as well?

Kristen Rice

There's so much attention to detail that goes into your animations. How do you stay disciplined so that you don't get burnt out?

Ellie S

You have such a good eye for creating a cast/team. What is your process for finding people to work with for projects?

Rose Shore

How did the world and characters of Bigtop Burger came to be?

Eugene Pakhomov

Your music is so fantastic. I’d love to know how you write/record songs, but most of all, how do you get that perfect bass tone on “Up” and many others?

Avery Greeson

Do you have plans to release much more BTB content?

esAckley

Where did the mysterious portal take Zoga + Yajima + prof. Genius!????

tumbleweed🍂

What's your process for designing characters for your animations?

Garden Of Snails

Are you a theatre kid? :o

BabyManuel

Could you make a tutorial on how you model your characters for bigtop burger?

FlipWizard

What advice would you have for someone teaching themselves animation?
