give you something good to lick
if you don't, I don't care
I'll find some other treat to share
It's Basement Busk all over again in this month's poster. This is the first finished painting I've done with the new Huion tablet. I did a review video for my new tablet here, in case you missed it.
This one was t...

Hi Patrons!
I'm back from my travel trip and back to work. Coming up soon is going to be a tablet review video (just a one time thing, I want to give it a shot) as well as plans for the next project.
A spooky Halloween speedpaint + poster will also be released as October arrives. This is my favorite season of the year.
Here's some more behind-the-scenes factoids about the Bog proje...

If any of you ever owned a firearm, you'll know that regular trips to the range are necessary to keep your aiming skill sharp. And with a sharp weapon like Gildedguy's sword, you can bet he's practicing all the time.
Once again, I'm attempting to use a restricted color palette, this time with red, green, black, and...

After your guys' feedback I'm happy to announce that the monthly digital posters can now be purchased in PRINT form in the Gildedguy.com shop.
They come as full-color 18'x12' posters, with art on both sides. Two posters in one!
I'll be updating the shop every month or so with the a new set of posters. This is a good w...
Hello my poster-loving patrons!
I've had requests come in to make the monthly posters available as physical prints in the Gildedguy.com shop.
I think this would be a great way to get more funding, as well as give fans more options to get art work. I can get it set up immediately!
My o...

Hey guys,
I just released a new blog post talking about what was going on behind the scenes this year. This includes some insights about Invincibility Knight, my freelance work, Gildedguy vs Bog, and the next project I want to work on.
There's a lot to read, check it out here!
Most of my scenes for the animation went through these main phases:
1. Storyboard - sync'd major key frames to music
2. Rough Animation - sketchy animation, plays out smoothly, but with rough linework
3. Cleanup - trace over the roughs in cleaner line work
4. Base Fills - dump first layer of colors to solidify the linework
5. Shading Lines - adding in highlights and shado...

An infernal battle between gold and acid.
Thank you to Ben (PowerMeep) for meticulously producing the intro and credits score, Greek Fire for their awesome song, and all the Patrons for supporting the project.
I'll be actively reading public feedback, so I'll see you in the comments and on the Discord server!
I'm incredibly happy with how this animation turned out.
The animation will be out Aug 19th, this weekend on the YouTube channel.
I also plan on live streaming a premiere of the animation (so we can all watch together) before the video goes live.
EDIT: I changed the time to 3PM, get notifications about the event here:

I hope you all are getting some sun during these hot summer months. Before you know it, we'll be back in Autumn (my personal favorite season). So enjoy ice-cream trucks while they last!
For this painting, I wanted to stick as close to a complimentary color scheme as possible -- yellow and purple. It was a lot ...

Hia friends,
I would like to give you all an update on how things are going.
Gildedguy vs Bog
Of the 9018 frames in the short film, 7744 are completely animated, colored, and sync'd with sound. So basically 85% done. I still have to plan and create the end credits, but that is minimal work compared to the actual a...

What's he thinking? *Is* he even thinking!?
It's been awhile since we've seen the Slush fighters! I was looking at all the past posters I've done, and noticed none of them featured anyone from Slush Invaders. I figured that these guys would fit well for a summer month like July.
Canonically, this scene would take place during or after Slush Tile Rush, as ...

One night, Gildedguy dreamt of a radically different life. One where his heart had free reign.
Again, thanks for supporting Gildedguy this past month!
A fun thing about these paintings is that I actually use them to test out concepts for potential animations or projects. I spent a longer time on this piece in particular (over 13 hours), since I was ...
Some more screenshots from some alert animations I'm doing for Twitch Streamers.
You can probably tell what their streams' themes are from their mascots' designs! Planning on compiling all the animations together into a video for you guys to see.
Speed paint for this month is also underway.

Was browsing my old archives and found that I saved the process behind this scene. Inspired by lindy hop dancers!

Alongside Gildedguy vs Bog, I've got my hands full with a good amount of freelance work. The following frames are from work I'm doing for some Twitch Streamer's alert animations.

Thanks for supporting Gildedguy this past month!
For this piece, I wanted to give additional backstory to the upcoming animation Gildedguy vsBog. If you watched the preview that came out a couple weeks ago, we saw Gildedguy far from home setting up camp, but the reason was unknown.

The video gets kind of jittery towards the end due to the extra time I spent drawing this one being crammed into a shorter vid. Woops!

Thanks for supporting Gildedguy! This poster is a bit late due to being sick the past two weeks . But I'm a lot better now, so work shall resume!
This scene reveals quite a bit of Gildedguy's past. That is, before he donned the golden armor, Gildedguy used to work in a paint shop making wo...
2017-04-16 19:49:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I've been out of commission due to an incredibly nasty bug I caught last Monday. It's quite bad, since I can't get any work done at my desk without the cough/fever/headache-combo sending me back to bed. This has set the April digital poster and Bog animation back a bit.
So my current job is to beat this sickness ASAP. I may have to hit up...

Hola Patrons!
Just a quick update on the progress of the latest animation. Now that the Twitch Anim Contest is over (woot), I've been steadily getting back into pumping out cuts for Gildedguy vs Bog.
The length of the film is shaping up to be ~6 minutes long, and I've completed a good 4 minutes of it.
Something I should mention is that I've somehow re...

On a side note, extra thank you to all of the patrons, the newest animation couldn't have been made at the quality and in time without me being able to subsist myself off your support.
