Leon's Flight Training

I'm nearing the end of setting up all the Leon and Wolf scenes. It won't be too long before I start on the Phoenix situation.

[THE VIOLENCE] Theme Song - and other music stuff

Vocals: Matthew Gafford & Laphin Hyena
Music: Matthew Gafford

I'm still getting familiar with the packs of patches and samples in my digital instrument library, but I've had this song in my brain for three years, and I needed to get it out. I'm still tweaking the mix and other things, but this is 95% accurate to what I want the theme song for The Violence to sound like.

Wolf and Leon talk shop...

Setting up the last montage scene in Wolf's "stolen ship" arc. Hot tubs, fancy food, saunas, target practice, and flight training! Quite the contrast to the upcoming arc resolution of Fara Phoenix and Bill.

I really like this new shading layer I've been experimenting with, and it's very quick and easy to add. I'm 99% sure I will incorporate the extra detail into the scenes of episode 3. 2024-04-29 01:13:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Drawing Shadows

Finishing up the main frames for a 7-minute scene. For the next one, I'm experimenting with hard shadows to see if it's a step up.

Rhys Plush Sales Open

Rhys Plush Drops in 12 Hours (11PM ET)

I made a special animated/live action skit for the release of the Rhys plush by Makeship. The link for the plush will be in the video description on the YouTube channel when it is published tonight, but I will make another post with the link here, as well.

All 100 Orders have been shipped.

Everyone in the US should be getting theirs between the 25th and the 27th of this month. They were unable to give an exact date for other countries, but said it's usually 2-3 weeks at the most. 

Thanks again, and I hope you all enjoy the stickers and prototype caps!

Orders Shipping Soon!

All stickers have been printed, laminated, and cut. All the shipping labels have been purchased and printed. I'm in the middle of loading all the merchandise into 100 black bubble mailers and signing thank-you cards as I post this.

Aside from the 15 stickers, I'm including one more bonus sticker, along with 4 samples of the pog-like "Canon Caps" I'm designing for a future purchase.

AFIS Sticker Invoice Update

Thanks for all the orders, everybody! 

I'm going through the remaining invoices this afternoon, so if you haven't received one yet, it'll come in today or later tonight.

As of this post, I've taken about 90 orders, so there are still a few sticker packs left. The pinned post on this page still has the link for anyone who wants to order one of the remaining 10.

Thanks agai...

AFIS Sticker Pack orders (SOLD OUT)

Edit: Form closed.

100 is the limit! The order form will shut off automatically when/if it hits 100 orders.

First dibs today for patrons only. Thank you all in advance!

Stickers Sales Form Opens Up Tomorrow (Thursday)!

Just letting everyone know that Thursday, February 8th, around 1:00pm Eastern, I will be linking the order form for the AFIS sticker pack, here on Patreon.

I made this screenshot of the form's first page, to give you a preview of the guidelines:

15+ Stickers and (possibly) Pogs VERY SOON

The order form for the stickers is done. I let my friend order a pack and go through the entire invoice process, so everything is 100% set up and ready for orders to be placed. Even so, it'll be another couple days before I open up for orders because I want to see if I can design and squeeze in an extra sticker or two.

The pogs pictured were cut using a rubber mallet and a 42mm hollow pun...

A Fox in Space Stickers - Series 1 Designs

(Stickers are not shown in comparative scale; most of them will be between 2-3" wide.)

These are the designs I will print and cut for the first series of AFIS stickers. I'm getting a lot better at printing and cutting, so every sticker will be covered with premium laminate to increase durability. (I put one on a coffee mug and ran it through the dishwasher three times, and it still looks ...

Second Sticker Test-Run

Still tweaking some designs, but finally getting the hang of sticky mats and ink settings. Once I can guarantee quality and consistent output, I'll move on to figuring out a plan for taking orders.

Happy New Year! + Stickers Test Run

Recently purchased a printer and cutter to try making some of my own merch.

This is a first test run of some stickers. I was thinking of eventually offering sticker packs, as well as a "survival kit" full of random trinkets (trading cards, stickers, miniature acrylic LED signs, engraved shot glasses, possibly even vinyl/DTF shirts), though I'll start with something small like stickers for...

"Here come the little hyenas now!"

I finished another short to help keep the YouTube channel afloat, but before I can get back to episode 3, I have to make the ad for the Rhys plush from Makeship. 

Once the ad is animated and uploaded to YouTube, the full pre-order campaign for Rhys will begin.

A Fox in Space - Downloadable MP4's of Episodes

My master copies of "A Fox in Space" episodes 1 and 2 are now available as downloadable MP4's both here and in their YouTube video descriptions. Links are for Google Drive or BitTorrent. Episode 1 is 1080p, and episode 2 is 4K.

EPISODE ONE

Nearing Final Draft

I can safely say this is 99% what Krystal will look like in episode 3.

[WIP] Another "Noncanonical short"

Falco obviously doesn't play video games, but he loves making fun of other people playing them. This is going to be a short based on an old Skype crew joke from back in the day.

Krystal Concept Art

Second draft. I might tweak a few things, but this is getting very close to 100%.

Dirty Thirty / Busted Computer Update

A "Dirty Thirty" is my name for streaming my animation work 30 days in a row with an 8-hour daily average. Starting on October 11th, I streamed every day, for 30 days, with a final daily average of over 10 hours.

A couple days before I hit day 30, my computer had a very bad crash, and continued to BSOD several times a day. I still managed to finish my "Dirty Thirty"--albeit with many BSOD...

Putting In That Work...

..and loving it. It's been a great streak so far!

The Oct 21, 22, and 23 streams chronicle the entire 3-day creation process for the "Trick or Treating" short. Enjoy the VOD's while Twitch has them available.

Aparoid Concept

Slava modeled this for me yesterday, in case anyone wants to know what these guys will probably look like.

Wolf/Fox Character Study Wallpapers [4K]

Trying to improve my style before the present-day scenes in episode 3 get produced. Here are some 4K wallpapers of random, no-context pictures I made during my sketching.

Rhys Pledge Goal Reached!

340 out of 200! Thanks, everybody. I'll be getting with my design rep this week to start working on the actual plush prototype. Once the plush has been designed and pictures have been taken (possibly sometime around mid-late December), the actual pre-order campaign will start, and everyone can place a full pre-order for as many Rhys plushes as you want. (MSRP $29.99 + tax/shipping)

It's n...

Rhys Plush Petition STARTED

Click on the link and place your pre-order deposit! The goal is 200 pre-orders. Thank you for your support!

Making my first YouTube Short

I spent 6 days on this. Hopefully a couple of these will pull in some more traffic!

Rolling Right Along

The animation's coming along just fine. I'm about to start on the most complex and involved scene I've ever directed. 

There will be tension, drama, sharp things, lizards, and lots of Polish dialogue.

Building my "Episode 3" Work PC.

I got a couple extra grand from episode 2's revenue before the views fell off, and I used it to get the parts for building a new work PC. 

I will be clearing off my current computer and giving it to Greg once I get the new one set up, so streaming and updates will be postponed for about a week.

Almost two minutes of episode 3 have been animated. Here are a few stills of the nex...

AFIS Episode Three - 4K Promotional Art #2

I'm going to be making some of these pieces of 4K promo art representing various scenes from AFIS 3 for my $10-tier people. Here's the second piece.
