Just as the mood in this poster suggests, I had a lot of trouble drawing this picture. Rest assured, this is not because I didn't take poll suggestions for this month, but rather due to a mild "art block". I don't get such blocks that often, and the only reason I could point toward was my participation in a game called "Passpartout", at the request of one of viewers on Twitch.

It's been awhile since I've written a blog post. This one's about animation schooling and career, directed towards young artists who are starting out.

The article also contains a bunch of pretty drawings, so skim through it if you'd like!

Always attempt to impress, even during menial work!
This month's poster features the top voted poll entry " Gildedguy doing lawn care services with his sword". I was a bit worried that such a topic wouldn't be exciting, so I went for an action packed shot. This painting uses a brush I haven't tried out ("Chalk"), which makes neat-looking pencil strokes, but also...

Here's a peek at one of the fully animated and voiced scenes for the upcoming visual novel. I don't do lip sync very often, so doing animation like this was really refreshing!
If you've been visiting the streams (http://twitch.tv/gildedguy), then you'll know that I've already inked and polished this scene. Here are some snaps...

Let's do this again. This month's theme should involve Spring time, so think flowers and nature.
Please put suggestions in the comments, I do read em.

Alternate titles were 'Penny's Beatcamp' and 'Prance Camp'.
Here we see Penny from Basement Busk giving Gildedguy a private dance lesson (just as you guys voted!). I really wanted to incorporate rain and water into this one, as well as a new painting style. I've been interested in water color painting for awhile and this is the first time I've tried to emulate it using d...

Most of the time I come up with the poster (speedpaint + splash image on the website) at the end of the month. I often use up a good hour thinking of a good idea.
For April, I'd like for you patrons to help me decide the theme/concept for the poster!
Leave a comment for ideas of your own (I may ...

Hey, here are some assets I just finished for the Falcomaster pilot. We are past the 50% mark, and I estimate the episode will be released between June and July.

Gildedguy rescues the sun from a small town's labyrinth, using an enchanted cape as his "golden thread" to make it back home.
This month's digital painting has an Irish/Celtic theme to commemorate the upcoming St.Patty's day holiday. I'm very happy with how the composition turned out, since I was trying to focus on dynamism. The story of the painting is more lik...

Hey all! I spent a couple all-nighters to put this channel trailer/milestone video together. Gildedguy has attracted a lot of eyeballs this past year, and now that we're past 100k YT subs, let's shoot for 100q (quadrillion). I have a very detailed plan on how we can achieve this, though, I obviously gotta keep it a secret. Sorry.
For now, we'll settle for the new Fanart Gallery...

This month's Valentine's Day poster is special, because it doubles as my birthday month. I thought I'd celebrate it with you all in this digi-painting.
It is usually this time of year where we see many posts about love and relationships crop up in our feeds. Everything ranging from say, a couple celebrating a 10 year anniversary to loners lamenting their 'Forever Single' status. I wanted ...

Howdy all.
I would love to share with you some progress on the Falcomaster pilot, which is still in PRE-production. That is, I haven't begun pumping out any assets that will appear in the final product. This is because planning out the story is very important, and must be accomplished first.

Here are two VERY VERY early prototypes of the FM3K project I'm working on. I use prototypes to test out the gameplay and get the basic programming architecture down before diving into the actual production.
Once you install/open these files (see INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.txt), you can play them with the following controls:
