Artwork from "An Unfortunate Meat-ing"

Artwork from "An Unfortunate Meat-ing"

Wow I made a lot of backgrounds for this one.

This was actually one of the quickest to make shorts I think I've done. I really wanna try designing some more background characters sometime. Making the cow guy and chicken girl was really fun.

Been a while since I've done a short comic!

I've wanted to design a decent reference for Murphy's skateboard with an actual deck design, so I'm also making a 3-panel comic to go along with it as well. Still figuring out the text and other panels, but it should be out fairly soon.

The new cartoon is here! This is one of the easier ones to make. Always happy to keep populating the world of Murphy and Mitzi. Even if it's with aggressive lettuce.

So the Valentine's cartoon I just released is a bit of an interesting case. I actually started it back in September 2020, and abandoned it because I didn't really like it that much.

Plus, I had just finished the short where [bunny] draws ship art of Murphy and Mitzi a month before (https://www.youtube.com/wa...

Unused Art- Pt 2

Unused Art- Pt 2

Thought it was about time to show off more unused stuff that I probably won't revisit anytime soon.

The first 2 images are from a cancelled short that was just getting to become way too long. It was about Murphy and Mitzi watching TV, and stumbling upon one of Murphy's parents' news broadcasts. Basically, Mitzi would've been confused about how Murphy's dad could control the weather. At fi...

The laundry cartoon is shaping up nicely! Took some time tonight to put it all together and gather my sound effects. You can probably tell the general story of this one from this sequence, but it's better in motion.

The next cartoon will be ready on time for this weekend!

This time, Mitzi tries to help Murphy out with his nachos in the most inane fashion she can. She's just trying her best to be a good friend.

Honestly I'm very proud of how the background turned out in this one. I've never walked into a 7-11 with this many colors and that's a shame.

I started work on a new short yesterday!

All I've got done at the moment is the background and one of the main poses, but I thought it looked pretty cool so far. Murphy & Mitzi are out on a snack run.

Maybe it'll be done this weekend? Not sure right now, but that's my hope. At least there's this for now!

Generations of Squirrels- Breakdown

Mini breakdown of my last post!

I was an idiot and merged all my layers at some point, so it's missing the flat color stage that comes after the sketch stage. But you can basically see how this all came together. I was going to have Mitzi's mom blink, but decided against it.

Funnily enough, this style is so much quicker to do than my typical lined style. This whole thing only took a...

Very Old Walk Cycles (2017)

I just got a few new patrons in the last week, so I wanted to find some kind of very special thing to post.

These are very old, very rough animations of Murphy and Mitzi back when I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them. This is before they were even friends, they were just two designs I had in my sketchbook that I really liked. I didn't have a world figured out for them...

Working on a new cartoon!

Was doing a group art-chat with some of my IRL friends and one of them pointed out how much taller Murphy looks compared to last year. So, I decided to compare the two and...yeah they were right. Murphy and Mitzi were so stubby and wide-eyed a year ago lol.

The next cartoon is about shoes, if the Heelys weren't enough to imply that. He'll still wear his tra...

Stuff from the Trash Bin

Something I like to do at the beginning of every year is to clean out my hard drive to make space. Often times, I'll run across stuff I don't even remember saving. In this case, it's stuff I drew but never ended up finishing or posting for whatever reason. So, here are 4 pieces of artwork I'll probably never post on my public accounts!

Here's a behind the scenes look at the Sonic & Knuckles styled Patreon reward I did for December!

These 3D models are such trash, but they've got a certain charm to them. The Donkey Kong Country thing was just another sort of test with this style, heh heh.

I may post these on my other socials eventually, but I wanted to give you all a first look.

Looks like Murphy and Mitzi shouldn't be setting off fireworks without proper precautions.
