Sweet Boy Beach - Taco Salad

I am very pleased to bring you Sweet Boy Beach - Taco Salad. 

(newgrounds mirror) 

I think I started it late last year and it must have taken somewhere between 300-400 hours to make.  Quite o...

Home stretch + Discord

I'm working on the final shots of this beast.  I might even finish them this weekend.  Then I need to go back to the start and do another pass of the whole cartoon, tidying up all the loose ends and things I left behind, and of course music and sound.  

I don't know what this guy's...

The sweetest of boys

My 3 weeks off is OVER and and i'm back at the office but only for another 6-9 weeks, then it will be back to my own projects.  I'm hoping I can avoid the covid19 until then.  A few months of self isolation sounds pretty good to me.

This is a nice hookup action I think  is working ...

Wonderful Sweet Boys

I am pleased to report that I am over 2/3 through this cartoon.  I've animated about 75% of the timeline, but there's a nugget of action at the end which must be treated with tender respect.

The header image is the very first shot, the final shot has animated waves, birds and scudding clouds but the gif doesn't look as impressive as a larger still.

Banando Animatic

Fernando wakes up alone on a beach and tries to piece together what happened the previous evening. 

Once I started working on Sweet Boy Beach I prioritised that over this and it took me a really long time to do the last 90 seconds or so, but I finally got there.  Honestly I'd love to animate this, it's got a lot of my favourite things in it: beaches, jungles, people sma...

Next Project!!!

My next project is Sweet Boy Beach - Taco Salad.  I am both excited and relaxed right now because I have 2 weeks off from work for xmas and I will be spending as much of it as possible animating some tanned hunks at the beach.  Then in February I'm taking 3 weeks off from work in order to finish it (it's shaping up to be a pretty big one so if I can't finish it in February it...

Seagull family, other stuff.

I am/was (not sure) working on a show pitch for a guy I know, I have a short cartoon idea which involves mostly the big guy on the left and the three family members to his right, and maybe pink shirt guy as well.  I'd like to try something with simpler characters and do more FBF character animation.  It's pretty fun to generate ideas this way, by just visualising characters and basic ...

Sweet Boy Beach ART!

I've pretty much finished making pitch materials for Sweet Boy Beach.  Below is Cuthbert, Dante, and Spicy Sally (a new character, she's not in the existing cartoons) and a brief writeup for each.  

Cuthbert

With a body smoother than that of a n...

sWEET bOYS

Still working on my Sweet Boy Beach concept!  I've written three episodes and some solid outlines for two more.  I don't know how far I'll take it but I think you'll at least see the first episode.  If I ever get as far as making a pitch document, the above painting could be the first or last page of the pdf.

I'm working on the animatic for Sweet Boy Beach episode 1 but mos...

I'M A HORSE!

It's finally finished, my first music video since Tobey Maguire.  Is that significant?  I guess not.  I'm happy with how it turned out, it has a real energy to it.  

Now I've got to pick a new project!  I've boiled it down to either Sweet Boy Beach: Taco Salad or ...

Almost horse time

I'm almost finished I'm a Horse.  I'm hoping to upload in 2-3 days.  The three horse pics above are thumbnail variants.  Which one would you most likely click?

Just so you know!  I'm a Horse is not a patreon project, you won't be charged for it.  The reason for this is I've made it entirely while I've been working on the kids show so I haven't ne...

A strange beach adventure

I've started a new collab on my second channel, this time it's an animatic rather than a comic (or song).  So far Fernando has woken up near a beach and met a strange man who starts talking about a ritual.

It feels good to draw and voice Fernando again, even if it's just a little bit!  I love the process of dis...

Your Uncle is Sweaty

It took me 2 weeks instead of 1 but here is the latest collab song, Your Uncle is Sweaty.

I think it's not quite as good as Jorts but it's still one of the better collab songs I think.  Also like jorts I don't think it lends itself to a music video.

I've been furiously trying to write new ...

JORTS song

It's a new song!  I realised I haven't made one in ages.  Creative pressure built up in my oesophagus and I needed to start another collab written song.

I've been getting back into playing guitar over the past few months and I want to start doing more with that.  This song has some cool jazz chords in the verse.

The build up parts where the drums kick in isn't quite a...

Great Destiny Man soundtrack

Here's the GDM soundtrack if anyone would like it.   12 tracks - length 7:54

I realised now that the series is finished I can compile an OST.  Granted there's a few versions of the same theme but there's some other good stuff too.  The track...

Great Destiny Man and the Berry Good Time

Ep 4 is up!  

Yay I finished another series!  Not often I can say that.

I would really like to return to Great Destiny Man and Gendo.  I get a comfortable feeling when animating them similar to Fernando and Gooseman.

I've started storyboarding on season 2 of Bluey (which is being distributed by...

The winds of destiny are blowing...

If you haven't seen Great Destiny Man and the Crusher of Balls yet, I just uploaded it to my channel so check it out!  

Great Destiny Man re-unites with an old foe, while his apprentice makes a new enemy.
So far people like it!

I have two and a half weeks left to finish episode 4, a...

GDM Ep 4 update

I've got a month to finish this and it will be tight.  The animatic turned out to be longer than I thought, so I really hope I can pull it off without having to cut anything.

I guess I don't have much more to say about it for now.  There's magic and fighting and also some tentacle shit ...

Great Destiny Man and the Crusher of Balls + Ep 4 beginnings

Octopie just uploaded episode 3.  This one calls back to GDM2, made back in 2011, so it was strange and cool to revive Tyra the Ballcrusher.  If GDM gets more episodes I'd like to keep her around.  She's a thieving brigand but in this episode she's come down from the hills into town for a drink. 2019-06-02 23:55:28 +0000 UTC View Post

Episode 3....ho boy!

I'm getting to the pointy end of episode 3!  The title gif is a shot that might give too much away but I'm sharing anyway.  It makes me dizzy if I look at it too long.  It's part of a sequence of shots I'm finishing today that I'm confident will look great.  Sharing any more really would give too much away though.

Some of you might remember that Tyra and GDM have a his...

GDM update, Patreon policy

I haven't commented on the patreon policy changes for new creators yet.  They appear to be not good and designed to increase profit.  I think in the long run the new fee structure will strengthen the offering of competitors and result in less creators and patrons using the site.  

I tried to find out whether Patreon was already a profitable company and found this quote from...

Great Destiny Man episode 2 is up!

In this stirring tale, Great Destiny Man tells his noble apprentice Gendo why he respects him. But then some stuff happens. 

If you can see the thumbnail in the post, I'm impressed by how Octopie saturated the Orc on the left, making his nipples the brightest of fleshy pinks.

GDM series update

Episode 2 is delivered!  I'm not sure if they'll put it up this Sunday or wait a few weeks.  I'm very happy with it and I think it might be a bit better than Episode 1.  2 down 2 to go!  

Ep 3 is called "Great Destiny Man and the Crusher of Balls" and it's all about the return...

GDM Episode 1 finally up!

Weeewwww it's finally up.  Response so far has been pretty positive.  Hope you like it!

GDM ep 1 release date, GDM 2 wips

I haven't posted recently because I didn't have any news, but I just found out that episode 1 will be out on the Octopie channel this coming Sunday 9am PST.  I'm very much looking forward to sharing it, it's weird for me to finish something and then not immediately publish it.  

I would...

99.999% there

I haven't quite finished it, but I've gotten it to a point where I need to not look at it for a few days and then make some tiny changes, mostly relating to sound effects and one colour choice.  I'm wondering if the guy at the back of this shot should have gold armour, as it sticks out in the scene.  I quite like his overall blueness though.

Merry Holiday period

I hope you are all in a good place and enjoying your time off if you're taking any!  

The title gif is a drunk guy rejecting Great Destiny Man's assertion that he can slice the hair on his cheek in two.  The shot is not quite finished, I have to animate some of the eyes of the crowd so they don't seem so static.
