Free GildedGAME Download, Anim 40% Done!
Hi Patrons,Story #0 update time! We're making steady progress on the animation, which is now about 40% done overall.The feature image of this post is one of the most detailed (and expensive!) scenes I've worked on. Many man hours has been poured into it, and there's still work left to be done. Regardless, I'm happy with the environmental look and feel we've achieved: A cozy, yet upscale eatery for careermen & women to splurge on.I'm currently trying to tackle the art dire...

FM3K Blooper Reel & Episode 2 Animatic (Shadowshaw!)
Hey Patrons!Surprise surprise, the "Shadowshaw" Project has actually been a codename for Falcomaster3000 Episode 2 all along!

It contains a bunch of funny mishaps that often occur during voice recording...

Bg, Char, Prop Concept Art + Updates (Origin Story #0)
Hi Patrons,The past few days I've been streaming the creation of a dozen conceptual pieces for the new animation. I've had ideas for this project in mind for a few years now, so it is quite satisfying to be able to finally get it on paper.As things scale up for the channel, I'm trying to be even more organized with the planning process.

Expect a release date trailer + special offer to come out towards the end of February.I didn't stick to my original art direction (a strict ...
