HQ Art- Movie Theater Comic

High quality version of the movie theater comic I just uploaded.

Behind the Scenes- Old Character Art (May 2019)

Felt like it was time to share some more old art of Murphy and Mitzi!

Some of these I posted waaaaaayyy back in 2019, but a few of these are poses I never actually shared publicly. This is back then Murphy and Mitzi still had nasty greyish colors, paw pads, and wildly inconsistent line weights.

Yet another reminder that art styles develop over time, I guess. I'm looking back at thes...

HQ Artwork- Redbubble Designs

A couple of weeks back, I updated some of my Redbubble designs to match the new model sheets of Murphy and Mitzi, and just published them today. Here are the old and new ones in high quality. It's a good way of seeing the changes since last year.

Just for fun I also included the "orbital" design I made last year. That one's different enough aesthetically where I don't think I'll update it...

HQ Artwork- Float Like A [bunny]

HQ Art from the latest short.

I like when I'm able to think of ideas like this that only take me like 2 days to pull off. It's always so satisfying to make a quick cartoon like this.

New Cartoon!- Float Like A [bunny]

I finished it! An hour or two later than usual, but it was just sound work that took me so long.

Now as a bit of a heads up, I may be taking a brief hiatus from animating for a couple of weeks.

I've basically been animating non-stop since Covid-19 started. As a result, I am actually starting to feel a bit of light hand pain, and feel like it's about time I took a small break. My act...

Preview- Next Cartoon

Hey everyone! I'm almost done with this cartoon that I started last week, I am not sure if it'll be ready on time for tomorrow, but in any case you can at least see where this is going. It's a pretty dumb joke, but still fun to make.

HQ Artwork- X-Treme Acro-Cat-Ics

Glorious HQ artwork for all.

HQ Art- Happy Easter

Can I offer you an egg in these trying times?

New Cartoon!- X-treme Acro-Cat-Ics

The new cartoon is ready! It was pretty cool animating from a non-flat perspective for once.

Top Tier Reward- March 2021

Keep forgetting to post these here. Thank you to everyone who keeps supporting me!

New Cartoon!- The First Full Episode of Murphy & Mitzi

Sorry.

HQ Artwork- Drink and Juice

Just the Drake and Josh art I posted today. Had a lot of fun drawing this one!

WIP- Murphy's Xtreme Thrillz

The next cartoon is almost done! I'll be finishing sound in the next couple of days, so it'll be ready for the weekend!

In the meantime, I'm hoping to get something prepared for April Fools, and of course the top Patron reward post.

HQ Art- The Life and Times of Zoe

Zoe's a real friend, spending many decades correcting new mistakes that Murphy and Mitzi have made.

Behind the Scenes- Old Voice Tests

Something I did for a little bit was little voice tests for Murphy and Mitzi. But I was never really satisfied with any of them, so I never posted them. Basically, nothing I've done I'd consider the "canon" voices for them. It's literally been the hardest part of solidifying these characters wholly.

Honestly, any hyperactive girl voice works for Mitzi. She's not too hard to figure out. Mu...

HQ Art Dump- Last two cartoons

Keep forgetting to post these here. At least they fit together, being arcade-themed. Enjoy!

WIP- Upcoming Stuff.

Hey everyone!

Just sharing a bit of something I've been working on.

First piece is for a new animation! I'm not exactly sure when it'll be done, but I've at least got these lower-angle assets created. I'm trying out a bit of a new perspective for this animation since most things I've done have been from a flatter angle. Still figuring out some of the actual events in the animation, ...

New Cartoon!- Whack-A-Mole

The new cartoon is done. I LOVED doing all the sound work on this one. There's a whole bunch of different arcade game references stacked on top of each other.

WIP- Whack A Mole

Almost done with the next short! Don't worry, there's more to it than "Mitzi whacks Murphy". Looking forward to getting it done.

New Animation (?)- Rotation Station

This isn't technically a "new animation" in the sense of it being anything worthwhile. It's just the new model sheet positions I made being rotated over and over. But hey, it was fun to do!

HQ Artwork- Finalized Model Sheets

The final model sheets are here! I've just changed a lot of really small things over the last few days, but now I'm satisfied with them! This will definitely be good for making new cartoons going forward.

WIP- Model Sheets 99% Done!

Well well, looks like I was able to get these to a decently finished state pretty quickly!

Some of you may have seen my polls on Twitter/Instagram regarding Murphy's gloves. I've decided the best option was to go fingerless. Even though Zoe already had them, I don't think it's too out of place for Murphy to have them also. They just fit him so well. Plus, I think I'll make it a canon thin...

WIP- New Ref Sheets!

Hey everyone!

Might be taking a break from animating this week.

I've had a few people ask me for references for my characters, and I've been too embarrassed to give them the ones I made in January 2020. They're way too outdated and gross looking.

So, considering how much Murphy and Mitzi have changed in the last year, I am working on brand new reference sheets for them!

...

New Cartoon!- Claws and Effect

I finished it! This was actually a really fun and quick cartoon to do. Love how it turned out.

WIP- Claw Game Cartoon

The claw game cartoon is surprisingly getting done quicker than I thought!

It may or may not be done this weekend (might hold off until next week to give it some more time), but I wanted to share the progress while I could. As you can probably see, there's more than just dolls in this machine.

EDIT: I'm now just doing sound work, so I *think* it'll be done for tomorrow. I think. Fin...

HQ Artwork- Latest 2 Cartoons

Hey howdy hey, here's some nice high quality stuff for ya.

Behind the Scenes- Grab Bag of WIPs

Hey everyone!

I will likely not be getting a short done this week, life's gotten busy.  But there will be some more drawing/comic posts upcoming this week anyway!

In the meantime, I've storyboarded out/roughed a bunch of short concepts. I've actually started on asset production for the first one, but I may hold off on finishing it until I think about it some more. It's up to ti...

It's Always [bunny] In Philadelphia

I listen to a lot of TV shows while I work. One of my favorites I always come back to is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. When this scene popped up in an episode, I knew what I had to do.

HQ Artwork- Every "Real Life" Illustration So Far

I've only now realized that I haven't posted these here in higher quality for everyone to see. I actually have more coming up (one today, actually!) but these are so much fun to do so I wanted to share them again.

Skateboard Comic

The comic is done! Definitely wanna do more of these. Helps me think of dialogue for these two.
