Meth Orcs Update!
Something about the Fanny Ranger assets is making Animate crash. I think it's her pigtails. I've left her shots a bit unfinished cause I'm sick of the program faceplanting.Blegnorb and Treshtog kill a big ole blue golem guy. This took me 2 days! I kept it bloodless because it's the second shot and showing a decapitation so close to the start of the video is already asking for trouble. The background above is an early sketch of the interior of the ruins where most of the story takes place. I haven't gotten up to the wi...
Meth Orcs Update 1
The above establishment shot is not complete yet, I'm not happy with the castle and parts of the hill are unfinished. I'm pretty weak with rocks and any kind of complex mountain. I might even redo the castle so it's more interesting I'll see how I feel when I come back to it.This is Blegnorb, Treshtog's fellow Meth Orc. He's a bit younger than Treshtog. I might tweak his outfit, it's a bit dull but it has to be simple because I want to animate him and not get bogged in detail.The above is our antagonist, who does...
How to Dominate a Twink sound track and MP4
MP4 DOWNLOADI leaned on a couple of old compositions for the main theme, namely Space Duck and also a track from Pleasure Island 6. The opening track is a vaporwave version of the theme from Help! A goat ate my shorts! Looks like you can embed audio in patreon posts now, that's useful for me.Bandcamp tracks packCartoon Tracks packPrevious cartoons download page
HOW TO DOMINATE A TWINK (finished)
Thank you for supporting another beautiful and deadly cartoon! I think this one has come out nicely. It is an adaptation of one of the Fernando's Amazing Podcast roleplay segments (Episode 3). I'm still planning on making a new Meth Orcs for my next project. I was going to make an episode called Butt Wizard but I've just finished writing a new one called Catboy Ambush and I'm thinking of making that one instead.
Twink update #4 - First pass almost done.
If you received an e-mail about annual subscription and then clicked through to find it was not an option, sorry! That was something I enabled and then turned off again. I did not realise that patreon would send e-mails about it.A few people have said they'd use it if it was available so I've turned it back on again. Hopefully the utility justifies the nuisance e-mailing. Unfortunately patreon doesn't have an option to NOT e-mail people at their discretion. Which I think is a bit silly.I'm one day away from finishing the fi...
Twink update #3
Pink Fernando continues to struggle and flail against impressive suction. You might think it's not so bad if someone steals your musk but in Fernando's case it would render him a lifeless husk.The musk is represented by little pink particles. Don't ask about the scientific logic behind musk particles.Following contains spoilers:I would like to polish this shot some more but it's good enough to show. I'm a big fan of forgetting about representing 3D spaces and having a big old streamy stream in the background. I looked a...
Twink update #2
I'm behind on the backgrounds for this project, but my idea is to draw a city kit of 10 or 15 buildings and layer and distort them as needed. My first attempt was too monotously blue.I then overcompensated and made it a bit too pink and purple.I settled in the middle somewhere. Remember to rink!Minor spoilers follow:What would you do if someone pulled up on you and did this?I've been animating Fernando's hair for much of the last two days. In the shot above we see a mild breeze.Which turns into a gale force wind.I'm still fid...
Twink update #1
The above video is the first animation I've done for How to Dominate a Twink. I don't like the milkshake sounding sipping, I'm going to find or record my own thinner liquid slurp sound. I think he's drinking juice or tea.For this one I imagine Fernando and Gooseman are out on the town, they've just seen a movie or something. This a concept of the skybridge where the story is set, some time in the evening:I'm a bit bored of their regular outfits so I want to dress them differently here. I might change Fernando's s...
Spectral Seed tracks and mp4
The soundtrack for this cartoon relies heavily on Meth Orcs compositions. The track in the first scene is a version of Fanny Ranger's theme from Dancing with Death. The track from the second half is a much expanded version of the inflation wizard's theme from Inflates you big and round.Spectral Seed MP4

Spectral Seed (finished!)
Thank you for supporting this project! I've shown it to 0 people and I've watched it so many times I've lost all objectivity, so I have no idea whether the joke lands or not. I do know I'm really happy with how it looks, and figuring out how to use music in the last part is one of the trickiest audio challenges I've had. I made around 5 different versions of the very last part.I'm not going to upload it straight away. Youtube appear to be undergoing some kind of transition where they are using AI to implement age cen...
The WEAK fear the GREASED
Above is a highlight animatic/animation video for RANDY. Shoutout to BAIVO for the title suggestion.RANDY is doing terribly! At first I blamed youtube's algo, but just now I noticed the click through rate is 5.4%, which is very low. Compare that to 10.9% for Manwhore vs Femboy. (Click through rate is how often viewers watch a video after seeing an impression.)So my title thumbnail combo is unappealing to people, not algos. I really thought Randy could be a successful main character but I guess I was wrong. The failure stings but at lea...
Randy plush toy, more Spectral Seed
The Randy plush toy is available now if anyone would like it. Use code RANDY15 for 15% off: http://bit.ly/4lfrxKjI spent too long on the above video. I thought it might be nice to try to build some enthusiasm and warm the channel up a bit before Randy comes out this Saturday. Also I had this image in my head and wanted to do something with it:I'm working on the second half of Spectral Seed so everything I share will be a mild or medium spoiler. We're out of the tower now and into the rest of the magic school. The architecture is hig...
Spectral Seed project update
It took me a while to decide but the wizard's outfit will be blue with the gold trim. This background was a bit ridiculous, but it's the first thing you see and it gets used a fair bit.The reverse angle features a wall sconce and an orrery. Apologies for the big gif, hope it plays ok. I'm quite pleased with my little spectral steed. It doesn't look spectral enough though so I will probably add some kind of effect to it to ghost it up. Probably a star mask like Teal Mist's magic in Dairymancer. Maybe just in the mane and ...
Spectral Seed (some new characters)
My new project is Spectral Seed, a 90ish second cartoon about a wizard and his apprentice.I've been deliberating over how to colour my two main characters. My default for a wizard is always PURPLE. So I tried three different purple combos first.But he looked too much like the balloonist wizard from Meth Orcs.I then tried green and gold. But now I'm thinking I might go with blue.For the apprentice, I imagined him wearing a robe. However, he has to do some running, so maybe it will be fun to give him trunk hose: I'm leaning toward...
RANDY sound track + MP4
MP4A lot of tracks for this one. I leaned on an old composition called Cucumbers heavily for this. It has a festive feel and I felt it fit. I've been listening to a lot of oldskool rave and happy hardcore recently which is the influence behind the Huge Gimp track. Yo ho ho is a variant of the casino track, I took out the "yo ho ho" in the end, it drew too much attention to itself.

RANDY (it's finished!)
Raving tourists rove the island, terrorising the locals. Pleasure Island is in peril! RANDY is tasked with discovering the culprit and bringing them to JUSTICE.Thank you for supporting this project! I never expected it to take so long. This version is just for you guys, I'm going to sit on it for a while before publishing it for everyone.My next several projects will be shorter...I would like to make a cartoon about an apprentice wizard who wants something from his master called Spectral Seed.I also have another Meth Orcs I'd like t...
Randy: FINAL PAUSE
I've paused patreon for another month. The project that I worked on from December until early April has resumed but only for 4 weeks, and this time it's definitely going to end, as they will start filming. It's really annoying timing because I am SO CLOSE to finishing Randy. Sorry for another delay. After this is finished I have shorter projects planned.
RANDY update
The above video is a track called Dad Store. I intended to do a string of new song collabs near the end of last year but I didn't have enough time, now I don't feel the musical spark, I just want to finish this dang cartoon. If making this cartoon was a hero's journey then I am at the dark before the dawn, the ordeal, stepping up to the challenge. Hopefully the next phase is SUCCESS. I say that mostly because it's so long, and I am increasingly aware how long I've spent on it. I was going to call it Crab Tab or Pleasure...
Keep a tab on that crab
The above video is a little before after animatic/full animation compilation I made for some of the more interesting shots in Crab Tab. I guess it does contain spoilers. This one is still not finished, I will do something more for the background. I do like drawing the gimps though, bunch of shiny masked fat guys. They are a cult of pleasure seekers with their own code that live on Gimp Mountain. They resent the growing tourism industry on their precious island.The final 3 episodes of the Space show are here. Still haven't received any ...
Crab Tab update (plus more Space show)
I'm animating the end of Crab Tab so there's no way to show what I'm doing without spoiling the plot to some extent. This one's pretty funny, I'm drawing over a run cycle of Dante from Taco Salad in 2019. This has got to be one of my biggest establishment shots. It's not important that the crowd is large, so I elected to draw a small crowd and draw every person rather than a large crowd and draw simplified people. It's a Pleasure Island version of medieval justice when they'd wheel out some peasants or townsfol...
Space Adventure Legend Quest - The Eternal Party
Some of you will have seen this already. This was made in 2011, for Machinima. Machinima was sold to Warner Bros, and I was told that this series would be shown on the Rooster Teeth website. It was not, and now Rooster Teeth has been shut down as well.Machinima split my first episode into two. I'm showing it here as one episode (and in UHD).I don't own it but whoever does now (Warner Bros I suppose?) doesn't want to show it anywhere. It's possible no one in the organisation even knows they own it!If it doesn't get taken do...
Manwhore vs Femboy (Test scene)
This is a scene from the first episode of the Pleasure Island Tournament Arc series I have been posting about recently. At the moment it's 9 episodes, and this scene represents about 1/6 or 1/7 of episode 1.My original idea when making this was to make it in greyscale with very limited animation, something between an animatic and a comic. But after drawing most of it I found it kinda dull to watch and decided to colour it.The idea was to make an action scene as fast as I could with limited animation and see if it comes out watchable:- Actio...
Tournament experiments
The title image is the first shot in a short test I'm working on. I'm going to make a 30 second ish test animation of an excerpt from episode 1 of the Pleasure Island tournament series I've been writing about in the last few posts. The goal is to see how long it takes, whether it's watchable, and whether I feel like I can make the series. Working at the pace of my usual style, it would take years. Like, actual whole multiple years.My first idea was to try something between an animatic and a comic, with some animation, in gre...
Status update
My work project continues. I can tell you now it's a movie for Netflix (but I can't spill anything else). I still don't know when it will end, but I'm going to see it through. It's my first time working on a movie. I was cruelly and coldly not asked to work on the Blueymovie, but then shortly after I was invited to work on this one (maybe they felt bad for me?).I mentioned in my last post I've been writing a series called Pleasure Island Tournament Arc. At the moment it's 8 episodes, but might end up being 9. E...
Hiatus continuing
My work project was due to be finished mid January but the project has expanded. I may end up storyboarding 3x the amount that I was originally asked to do. The project is cool and is something I'll be happy to have worked on when it comes out, which is why I'm continuing on it instead of resuming Crab Tab.Patreon will continue to be paused, if you are a new patron and have been charged when you signed up (there's only a few of you) I'm sorry! I should have written on the patreon description that it is paused and I will do so...
Final Pause (probably)
I hope everyone is having a nice holiday period if you celebrate it. I promptly caught a cold straight after christmas.The guy in the drawing above is Gladys, some of you might remember him from one of the podcast roleplays. I'd like to animate an expanded version of his story in 2025. He's supposed to be a twink but he doesn't look especially twinkish right now, I'll have another go at his face and give him less musly arms. Maybe banana peel gloves as well to complete the look. His banana tip at the bottom will transform i...
Extended pause
Sorry for not posting for a while, I've been busy working and stressing. The job I mentioned in the last post is pretty much finished although it went over time, and they have offered me some more work. I've kept patreon paused so no one will be charged next cycle.In my spare time I've been making a shitpost cartoon about ads, but I don't have anything worth showing from that yet. I've started a new music collab and I've attached where the song is up to, at the moment it's a nice 40 second ditty about a long lost ...
Patreon pause for 1 month
I'm pausing patreon for a month starting today in order to do a 4 week storyboarding job. When it's finished I'll keep going on Crab Tab. No one will be billed for the next 31 days.Sorry for the constant delays on this project, I've turned patreon off for 3 of the last five months I think, two times for work and once for family reasons and when I came back I spent a month making Full Melon Jacket instead of Crab Tab. I'm very keen to work on it! Thanks for sticking with me.
