Hello everyone!
There will not be a new short this weekend because of the holidays, but I have started work on something to have on time for New Years. I'm honestly still figuring out the joke a bit, but I've got the background all ready. First time trying something sort of isometric and layered.
Happy Holidays!

High-def artwork from the latest cartoon! Enjoy.

This was a fun one to work on just because I was in the winter spirit. Now I'm tired of winter. Go figure.

The next cartoon is on the way!
Murphy and Mitzi are discovering that making a snowman in the city kinda sucks, and they end up with a horrid slush man.
I don't know if it'll be done today, but all of the animation is done and I'm just working on the sound.

Just thought I've give an update on this stuff since I haven't gotten to post it yet, haha.
I had some discussion with some of my friends and made a bunch of changes to really add some more personality to Mitzi's mom's bakery. I also started sorta fleshing out what Murphy and Mitzi's apartment building might look like in full. I've already shown a bit of them, but I haven't fully develope...

Here are the uncompressed Frosty cartoon poses for you Patrons!

I made another very quick "holiday special" edit to go along with my Frosty one. This one isn't nearly as animated, but it was fun regardless! Planning on releasing it sometime in the next few days if I don't get held up.

What a classic, beautiful story.
2020-12-12 22:14:37 +0000 UTC View Post
That's right! The next short is basically "Murphy and Mitzi kill Frosty". I needed to get into the Holiday spirit.

Here's some nice, clean, uncompressed artwork from my last two animations. Hooray!

The new animation is here! It's exceedingly basic, but I like how it turned out. It was basically just an excuse for me to make something a little more relaxing.

Back to business!
Wrapping up a new short animation to post this weekend. This one's sort of a "lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to" parody.
Gee, I wonder what happens?
May eventually make an hour-long version at some point, but I haven't decided what to do with the music choices or anything yet beyond "2000s playlist". Not sure if YouTube's copyright system would be ...

Here's the HD edition of the paper cut-out reward for this month!
I honestly LOVED making this. I wanted to make it with actual paper but the range of color in Photoshop was much better in my eyes.
To give a sincere thanks to all of you, I really appreciate everyone sticking with me even though last month didn't have a ton of content. Work and life both hit me hard, and I wasn't abl...

I thought it was about time I started making the world of Murphy and Mitzi more fleshed-out.
A lot of the time for me, the biggest problem I have figuring out is just what I'm going to name things. I had no problem figuring out the general look of things, but it's coming up with a good name that really trips me up.
This is why the city that Murphy and Mitzi live in has yet to be nam...

Hello everyone!
The thanksgiving cartoon is finished. It's nothing too special, but I just want everyone here to know how thankful I am for your support. I know this month has been slow on new content, but I am glad to see everyone stick around! Looking forward to posting more in the upcoming month. I should have more time to work on more Murphy & Mitzi stuff going forward.

The thanksgiving cartoon is coming along nicely!
The background is done and everything is composited except final sound.
Of course, I will be releasing it next week on Thanksgiving, though I will try to upload it here for my patrons a bit earlier when it's all finished.
Thank you all for your patience during this busy time!

Hey everyone!
Once again, sorry for the lack of content lately. Been doing a lot of freelance work and have been feeling completely drained.
However, I am working on a short animation in time for Thanksgiving! Nothing mind-blowing, but a simple effort involving our favorite rabbit's tendency to ruin all quiet gatherings. I'm sure it'll be done by next week.

Been a bit slow on making new stuff lately, so here's some more old artwork.
I've taken a number of approaches to designing my characters over the years.
The first Murphy artwork was made as a test to see if I liked this design when it was fully lined and colored. I did not, so I scrapped that idea. He's also not wearing pants, which is very weird. I did eventually use that look for...

Thought I should post more stuff like this.
These are some old sketches of Murphy and Mitzi from a couple of years ago. This was way before I had anything actually figured out, but their final designs were starting to take form.

Here's the special post for last month! Tried my hand at some pixel art, I'd love to do more sometime, though.

Hello everyone! Happy November. October's monthly "thank you" artwork will be ready sometime this week, but in the meantime I thought I'd do a quick little dig into the past.
These are the first finalized designs of Murphy and Mitzi compared to their most recent appearances. By "first finalized designs", I mean these are the actual first two illustrated art pieces of these characters from...

Happy Halloween everyone! I managed to squeeze this out just on time. Hope everything goes great for all of you today.

Animation on this short is finished! Just wrapping up sound now, so this will absolutely be ready for Saturday.
What happens in this one? You'll see on Halloween!

Inspiration hit me like a goddamn truck today for this next cartoon. I was struggling to think of an idea for Halloween and now I'm confident I've got one! Stay tuned for this Saturday, I'm pretty sure I'll have it done by then. I'll pull an all-nighter if I have to.

Here's the art from this week's Halloween cartoon. It's got Zoe, which means it's pretty special.

Here's a Halloween cartoon before the season is up! Hopefully I can do some more spooky stuff before the season ends, but I'm glad to get at least one out.

Here are the raw images without text from my recent art post!
These were actually kind of a challenge to come up with. Making Murphy and Mitzi look older was a bit hard.

Hello everyone!
Today, as per the poll's top option, I will be writing an overview of my animation process for all to see!! Hopefully this goes well, but here we go!

Like anything, it all begins with a simple idea. I keep a huge document full of potential cartoon idea...
