Aside from ...

The Markiplier Shoot

Hey guys! Quick, short update <3

I know a lot of you probably know about "the shoot" I was talking about earlier last week. I tried to keep the details vague, in respect to the project and Mark.&...

JoJo T-shirt design is done :D (I think...)

Heya! I've submitted the design to SharkRobot and we'll hear back about whether or not I'm gonna have to do some more work on it. Hopefully I parsed the layers out okay and everything's a go. We'll se...

Yoho! So Skyxe Airport animation is wrapped up and I'm pushing to finish the line art for this poster/t-shirt design. Not sure exactly how it'll translate to either, but the design is there and I'm am...

Updates : BSV and T-shirt Design

Hey guys! So just a quick update.

Patreon private stream capability :]

While we hang out on the discord and can do video stuff there, with the help of some of the folks in the discord we figured out a way to manage private streams.

BSV progress and Overwatch Secret Histories

So, my attack plan for completing the test scene has morphed, which is natural in tackling something I've never tackled before.

8 Days in Mexico (the video version)

Hey guys! I finally got around to completing the video recap of the Mexico trip.

BSV : Test scene, audio base

So for the flow of the Blood Sun Vendetta test scene, I laid down a rough audioscape of how the scene plays out. I gotta a bunch of music from Newgrounds, and I like the flow.

Eventually, I'm gonna ...

Mexico pics, Mailings, and Stuff I still need to do!

Hey guys! I've been back from Mexico for a little over a week. Had a voice gig for Paladins and short commission to knock out once I got back. And they are off the table, so the path is cleared for 2018-02-02 21:13:34 +0000 UTC View Post
