Script feedback

Hello,

Below is a script for my next video which is a bit longer than normal so I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback before I animate and publish it. I'll probably change some of the sy...

Quick Update

I'm working on putting all the parts of the "not a deer" episode together, it's taking a bit longer than normal as I left all the connective tissue out for the short versions, so I'm only adding it...

A couple of new merch designs.

Mainly dropping this here because I posted them on Instagram and I have the Patreon link in my bio, if you're a patron you're already doing enough to support me, but if you want one anyway here's t...

What is money?

Simulacrum

This is inspired by Baudrillard's discussion of a short story by Borges at the start of Simulacra and Simulation. It's actually going to be the last answer to the "are humans negative?" question, a...

Not a deer: part 2

Thank you all for your feedback on the poll earlier, with that weight off my shoulders I managed to get this part finished! It doesn't tie back into the main story yet because I have one more answe...

Early access question

I'm starting to think that part of the reason I'm struggling to work at the same pace I was previously is that I don't have that instant reward of posting something publicly straight away and getti...

Not A Deer: Part 1

The short break I intended to take over Christmas turned into a bit of a longer one, I was struggling to write, I think mainly because I had got out of the rhythm of doing it. I apologise.

A Cryptid's Carol Part 4: A story made of hope.

A Cryptid's Carol Part 3: The ability to talk nonsense and be taken seriously.

Title test

Sorry, treating you like a test audience today. Is this an improvement?

A Cryptid's Carol Part 2 - Is our past ugly?

Are the title cards distracting, should I skip the taglines and stick with just the names? I think I could have some fun with them, but each clip is so short I'm worried about them distracting peop...

A Cryptid's Carol Part 1 - Rage in the Tank

Year 1

In the end I just bulked up the recap and published it as it's own video, there's some extra clips, and a bit with King Kong and Godzilla at the end but it's mostly the video I already published he...

The Forest Jar: Year 1

I decided to do a very quick recap as I'm switching things up a bit and I want something to point people who are lost to. It ended up being not that quick and so I'm probably going to add the answe...

A new plan

I’m going to slightly change up my publishing schedule as follows:

• Create widescreen videos for each question and publish them on Patreon. Patron’s get early access and the chance...

More backgrounds

Got requests for desktop versions and the ghosts and dachshund in the last post, so here's these.

Here's...

Questions Answered

I feel very weird writing so much about myself, I hope it's not too boring and if it is I split it up into sections so you can easily skip bits. If I didn't answer your question specifically it's b...

Any Questions?

A bunch of people ask me questions in the comments of my videos but I don't normally answer them unless they're very simple because I need time to get my thoughts together and I hate trying to writ...

Some phone backgrounds

As these are just exports of a frame of animation they were pretty easy to do, so if there's a character you'd like that's not here let me know and I'll come back in a day or two and upload them. 2024-08-23 09:46:47 +0000 UTC View Post

Forest Jar Merch

Finally got around to setting up a store. Kiki, Godzilla, Cerberus, and Ouroboros merch now available! I'll add more characters over time, if you buy anything and notice any issues with the store p...

What is justice - some notes

The answers on my latest video were more based on specific philosophers and ideas than normal, so I thought I'd do a kind of notes/bibliography thing here..

Bunyin - This is ...

Working on my Bunyip.

sure to offer some interesting perspectives on dilemmas

Work in progress.

This character was suggested at least a couple of times when I asked who I should add.

The app I use is toonsquid. I started drawing/animating this year and it's the only one I've used...

The full series in order.

Adding this here so I can pin it, I have the patreon link in my various social media bios and I want an easy way to direct people to the full thing.

Which cryptids/myths/legends would you like to see added to the cast?

Bonus points if they're non-humanoid and have a lore that lends itself to interesting perspectives.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my Patreon. I'm starting it for two reasons.

1. I'm basically making this animation series full-time and I'd like to continue doing that, but at some point I'm go...
