Here's the three together:

Episode 1

Episode 3 

I almost can't believe this is finished.  I star...

Almost there...

Happy new yeaaaarrrrrr woo!  Mine was pretty laid back.  Drank some tasty beers, saw some somewhat underwhelming fireworks on the beach.

I'm on the home stretch for this beast.  Here's some unusual backgrounds I painted today for the wack part near the end:

so much stuff in this post zomg

Here's a work in progress of this shot so far, after each time I spend time on it.  First, the animatic version: 

Now the second version, which I've posted before.

Now here's where I'm up to. &n...

Patreon fees post

You will have received an e-mail from Patreon about changes to the way fees are charged.  My understanding is that Patreon will push the burden of processing fees on to you the patrons. 

I don't agree with the change.  I think Patreon's tactic of adjusting the displayed pledge amount to reflect an approximation of what the creator receives after processing fees and dead pledges ar...

Bush Friends

I thought I would share a writing exercise I tried over the last few days where I improvised a very rough storyboard.  

When I saw The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness a few years back, which is a documentary about Studio Ghibli, I was amazed when it said that Miyazaki wrote his films in graphical form, so he just ploughed into it and the story just happened.  I do recall him say...

Amazing post with sweet stuff in it!

Here's some juicy WIPs (work-in-progressessess) for you.  Contains some spoilers for those of you who haven't read the comic.

The BG for the title gif is half finished, I'm going to change the colour of the mountain range because it's a bit intense but otherwise this shot is almost there.

Thi...

New pages

Ferno toon is moving on slowly.  I think I can finish it shortly after christmas.  

I think my storyboarding job is going pretty well, I've started on the third episode.  My first episode was pretty shaky compared to my second but they seem happy enough.

Here's the current part of the collab comic I'm working on.  I'm going to do another page before asking people for mo...

Update...about stuff?

Firstly, sorry for disappearing for the past 3 weeks.  I've had two jobs, and have also had to sort out my yearly tax bulldust in that time.  But I'm going to finish one of the jobs this weekend, so I'm looking forward to resuming the Fernando comic and also Gooseman's lactation song.

I've been given another episode to do on the show and my first one seemed to go down well.  They ...

Switching Patreon to "per cartoon" again

I've started storyboarding an episode for a kids cartoon show.  No one will have heard of it yet because it's new, and also I think they might prefer if people working on it didn't post about it, so all I'll say is that it's for really young ones, I think maybe 4-6 years.

I don't know if they'll offer me another one or a more permanent arrangement, it will depend whether they like what I do...

Fernando's Amazing Podcast - Episode 7 - Boss Man

In this episode our heroes experiment with new segment ideas and then roleplay deep into the dungeon of Fernando's mind.

Here's the video

Pleasure Island comic jam

We're up to 10 pages! I've made a video of the story so far.  If the timecode link above doesn't work, here's another one if you want to skip 5 minutes of me talking about page 10.

I'm almost finished the next podcast, I'll have that to share in a few days.

Boss Man (new track)

Here's an early version of my new collab track, sung by Fernando.

I'll probably tinker with it a bit more, maybe mix it better.  Also I'm wondering if I should change the plurals in the first part and make it about one single employee rather than multiple employees.  

If this one doesn't float your boat, 2017-09-27 23:56:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon drama (switching back to monthly)

A week ago I wrote a post explaining why I was switching the patreon to "per cartoon".

Well, a week later I feel like a first class fool.  I had two jobs lined up for the second half of this month, and both have been delayed.

I've found that the biggest challenge of freelancing apart from finding the work in the first place is that clients will happily line you up for a project but no...

Switching back to "per cartoon"

Hey everyone,

I want to let you know I'm switching the patreon back to "per cartoon".  So you will not be charged for this month, and probably not next month either.

The reason is that I've accepted a couple of work projects this month, so the cartoon is not my primary project.  I have spent a decent chunk of this month on it, but still, it wouldn't be right.

I'm working on...

Fernando's Amazing Podcast - Episode 6 - Escaping the Chapterhouse

On youtube  

Yes!  It's still going.  I'm experimenting with using the footage from one of the comic pages on the video to see if it is a bit more engaging than Fernando on the deck.  Also I've got some new segments planned for next time.

Podcast song (better title pending)

This one took me the most time of all the podcast collabs, but I think it could be reasonably said to be the best one (My favourite is probably still Breaking my Heartichoke though).

So yeh I'm still slowly dribbling time on the next podcast episode, now that this is done the rest is comparatively easy.  I'm spending more time than I really should on my new side project, the greasy...

New comics!

I've started a new comic jam, I'm running it both at youtube and facebook if you'd like to join in.

Here's the story so far:

Fernando gazed upon the gliste...

Disk of Chaos Episode 2 MP4

Here's the MP4 for Episode 2, cheers everyone.

Episode 2 sound track.

It uses a lot from the episode 1 track, but there's a new middle section and I really like the way it turns back to the main theme at the end as the avian antagonist's identity is revealed.

Fernando and the Disk of Chaos - Episode 2

Here's episode 2!

And here's episode 1 - if you have the time, watch this one again (or for the first time) before watching Episode 2 as they run directly on from each other.

I'm already on to ep 3, I've done a fairly rough ...

Fernando and the Disk of Chaos update

I'm almost finished episode 2 of The Disk of Chaos.  I've come back to thinking i'll publish it in three parts in the usual manner, but I will make a super edit of the whole thing for patrons and anyone who wants to pay like $1 to stream it (assuming I can figure out that side of it).  But I won't publish the first part until the I've almost finished the third part so they come ...

Nips & Chips (New track)

This is the new track from the most recent podcast collab.  It's still an early version, I may or may not refine it a little still.  I'm pretty happy with it, I like to find new ways to present Fernando's rhymes...even if it's not close to the best track I've done.  The next track collab will be another Gooseman tune.  

I kinda dropped the ball a bit with the podcast,  I...

Ferno update

The next part of Fernando's strange adventure is coming along nicely.  I've done most of the character assets in this next part, there's no sound yet because I'm putting my sound energy into the next collab song project (I only have so much sound energy).

The above gif depicts the key poses of Fernando's ongoing battle with the psychic puppers (animation and backgrounds to come).  Ther...

Razor Blades mp4

Here's Razor Blades as a nice mp4, cheers guys.

Razor Blades soundtrack

Although the soundtrack for Razor Blades is not spectacular or flashy, music of that nature was not what was needed to enhance this tale!

Family Bliss  – this is an altered version of the music from “Knife Dance” which is a cartoon I made in 2012 if anyone ...

Razor Blades

Public version <-please share this version if you share it at all!

Thanks everyone for supporting me in making another cartoon of dubious qualities.  I have a feeling some people will hate this one, but I think it turned out well.  Way longer than I thought it would be (I thought it would be about 60...

Razor Blades and other stuff update

Apologies for the lack of updates this month.  I was aiming to finish Razor Blades around now, but it's going to be early next month.   I pictured it as a 3 week project but it's blown out a bit.  I thought itd be a 60 second film, but it turned out to be 90 seconds...  Another facepalm moment.

I still can't figure out whether it is good strange or bad strange.  I w...

Fernando's Amazing Podcast - Episode 4 - Artichoke my Dong

Here is Episode 4 which contains the best roleplaying you'll find in all good book stores and a whooooole bunch of Artichoke content, which I know for sure is what is very hot right now.  

I'd like to link to the previous episodes but the patreon post functionality seems to be limited today and I can't link to anything so I'll just paste the address of the previous episode which has the lin...

Artichoking it up

Here's a fresh and nutritious new track if you will let it into your heart. 

(Joke explainer: artichokes have hearts.  I could have also gone with "heartichoke".)

This is another collab song from the podcast.  

In other news, episode 4 of the amazing podcast is going to be MORE AMAZING than the previous ones, which were all amazing.

I've got about 90% of the dial...
