HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉 (and 1M Sub Q&A)
Added 2024-01-01 22:46:28 +0000 UTCHello, 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?

2024-03-01 22:53:58 +0000 UTCHey 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!

2024-01-25 20:39:25 +0000 UTCI know he did one way back in the day but a new updated version would be so cool to see

2024-01-21 00:57:47 +0000 UTCHaven'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.

2024-01-15 14:29:22 +0000 UTCMr. 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 :-)

2024-01-15 00:22:37 +0000 UTCCongrats! I really enjoy your music. Who are some of your favorite musicians or who are some musicians you draw inspiration from?

2024-01-10 02:34:23 +0000 UTCDear Ian worthikids, will you ever make figures of your characters? Or other merch like things?
Stearling Rat master
2024-01-09 19:29:25 +0000 UTCI'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
2024-01-08 22:42:51 +0000 UTCHi another question! Where does bigtop burger take place? Where did Steve land when he came down to Earth?

2024-01-07 21:01:05 +0000 UTCI 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
2024-01-06 06:17:10 +0000 UTCAre 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)

2024-01-05 12:00:46 +0000 UTCHoly shit, congratulations!! super stoked to see everything you're planning on putting out this year!!

2024-01-05 03:30:57 +0000 UTCWhat healthy or tasty snacks do you like to eat? Do you drink from cup, mug, or bottle most?
JUST WHATEVER, IDK
2024-01-04 18:35:39 +0000 UTCI'd love some BB and Captain Yajima t-shirts and other merch!
Nathan 'Klokwurk' Mead
2024-01-04 05:03:40 +0000 UTCOmg 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
2024-01-03 17:04:44 +0000 UTCWhat 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
2024-01-03 16:17:52 +0000 UTCIs 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.
2024-01-03 11:00:36 +0000 UTCWho’s your favorite character from Bigtop and/or of all time?

2024-01-03 05:34:09 +0000 UTCThis 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?

2024-01-03 05:24:48 +0000 UTCWhat is your favorite animal?

2024-01-02 20:53:41 +0000 UTCWhat is your general process for sound effects/foley work?
Deformed Rabbit
2024-01-02 20:30:25 +0000 UTCCongrats!! 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
2024-01-02 20:06:21 +0000 UTCCongratulations! What would be your wildest collaboration?
Corplos
2024-01-02 19:30:22 +0000 UTCAbsolutely 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
2024-01-02 16:17:13 +0000 UTCWhat were your favourite animated shows growing up? Were there any in particular that made you think, I want to make my own!
Abi Wright
2024-01-02 13:07:31 +0000 UTCI 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
2024-01-02 05:23:16 +0000 UTCIf 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
2024-01-02 02:33:48 +0000 UTCAfter 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)

2024-01-02 02:22:29 +0000 UTCCONGRATS ON 1 MIL!!! Are there any major inspirations for your style of storytelling/comedy??
BruceyBear
2024-01-02 02:16:39 +0000 UTCReally 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!

2024-01-02 02:15:30 +0000 UTCCONGRATULATIONS!! What haunts your nightmares?
nomral
2024-01-02 02:08:37 +0000 UTCI 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.

Lexi
2024-01-02 01:52:13 +0000 UTCHow do you decide which bits to write completely, and which bits to trust the voice actors to flesh out or improvise on?
Doomcard10
2024-01-02 01:51:28 +0000 UTCDo 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
2024-01-02 01:11:06 +0000 UTCdo 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! 💌

2024-01-02 00:16:59 +0000 UTCHello 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
2024-01-02 00:04:59 +0000 UTCAs 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
2024-01-01 23:58:45 +0000 UTCCongrats on 1M!! Do you have any advice on staying focused on a project and not losing motivation? I love your animations!

2024-01-01 23:43:32 +0000 UTCCongrats!! What is your dream project? (If you have one and would like to share, of course!)
emzurl
2024-01-01 23:39:21 +0000 UTCWill there ever be more content from the Clown - Vampire universe we saw in "Wire" ?
qu0tendeutscher
2024-01-01 23:33:54 +0000 UTCyou 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
2024-01-01 23:16:00 +0000 UTCFor 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!

2024-01-01 23:13:45 +0000 UTCDo you have a favorite type of tree/plant?

2024-01-01 23:07:36 +0000 UTCDo 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)
2024-01-01 23:05:51 +0000 UTCCONGRATS, 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.
2024-01-01 23:05:06 +0000 UTCYou 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
2024-01-01 23:00:13 +0000 UTCDo 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
2024-01-01 22:59:16 +0000 UTCThere'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
2024-01-01 22:58:17 +0000 UTCYou have such a good eye for creating a cast/team. What is your process for finding people to work with for projects?

Eugene Pakhomov
2024-01-01 22:56:58 +0000 UTCYour 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
