June 2018 Poster ("Caffeine of Reanimation")
Just as the mood in this poster suggests, I had a lot of trouble drawing this picture. Rest assured, this is not because I didn't take poll suggestions for this month, but rather due to a mild "art block". I don't get such blocks that often, and the only reason I could point toward was my participation in a game called "Passpartout", at the request of one of viewers on Twitch.In short, it's an "job simulator" that guides you along the path of a starving artist...
New Gildedguy.com Blogpost (Animation Schooling)

May 2018 Poster ("Lawn Care Priorities") + Early Suggestions for June
Always attempt to impress, even during menial work!This month's poster features the top voted poll entry " Gildedguy doing lawn care services with his sword". I was a bit worried that such a topic wouldn't be exciting, so I went for an action packed shot. This painting uses a brush I haven't tried out ("Chalk"), which makes neat-looking pencil strokes, but also blends colors like paint. For the first time, I committed to a limited color palette from the start. I found...
Falcomaster Update + Cutscene Previews (SPOILERS)
Here's a peek at one of the fully animated and voiced scenes for the upcoming visual novel. I don't do lip sync very often, so doing animation like this was really refreshing!If you've been visiting the streams (http://twitch.tv/gildedguy), then you'll know that I've already inked and polished this scene. Here are some snapshots:And some screenshots of a different cutscene, that occurs during gameplay:It's hard to give an exact estimate of the progress, but I'd say we...

April 2018 Poster ("Hop On, Hop Off")
Alternate titles were 'Penny's Beatcamp' and 'Prance Camp'.Here we see Penny from Basement Busk giving Gildedguy a private dance lesson (just as you guys voted!). I really wanted to incorporate rain and water into this one, as well as a new painting style. I've been interested in water color painting for awhile and this is the first time I've tried to emulate it using digital brushes (in SAI, it's called the "Cloud" Brush").I'm very happy with how ...
[POLL] Vote for Poster Idea April 2018
Most of the time I come up with the poster (speedpaint + splash image on the website) at the end of the month. I often use up a good hour thinking of a good idea.For April, I'd like for you patrons to help me decide the theme/concept for the poster!Leave a comment for ideas of your own (I may add them to the poll).
FM3K Popups

March 2018 Poster ("Saving Sunday")
Gildedguy rescues the sun from a small town's labyrinth, using an enchanted cape as his "golden thread" to make it back home.This month's digital painting has an Irish/Celtic theme to commemorate the upcoming St.Patty's day holiday. I'm very happy with how the composition turned out, since I was trying to focus on dynamism. The story of the painting is more like a fairy tale, a genre I want to explore more with Gildedguy.I'm starting to notice that most of these poste...
New Channel Trailer!
Hey all! I spent a couple all-nighters to put this channel trailer/milestone video together. Gildedguy has attracted a lot of eyeballs this past year, and now that we're past 100k YT subs, let's shoot for 100q (quadrillion). I have a very detailed plan on how we can achieve this, though, I obviously gotta keep it a secret. Sorry. For now, we'll settle for the new Fanart Gallery: http://gildedguy.com/fanart-2017/ I'll update this gallery as I receive more art from you guys. Thank ...

February 2018 Poster ("I Anniversary")
This month's Valentine's Day poster is special, because it doubles as my birthday month. I thought I'd celebrate it with you all in this digi-painting.It is usually this time of year where we see many posts about love and relationships crop up in our feeds. Everything ranging from say, a couple celebrating a 10 year anniversary to loners lamenting their 'Forever Single' status. I wanted to mix both ends of the spectrum (with Gildedguy in between) in this one scene.Attached ar...

January 2018 Poster ("Annual Accounting")
Happy 2018! If you want a more detailed look at what's up, be sure to check out the 2018 update post.In this poster we have Gildedguy catching up on some financial planning for the new year, but everyone outside has other plans for the night. Judging by the thumbnails, I believe this is the most rainbow-colored of all the posters so far.Attached are HD versions of this month's wallpaper. Speedpaint here!
New Year's Update
Wishing you all a great New Year's to finish off 2017 as we enter the next 365 days of our lives.In case you missed it, here's my part for the Tree Collab hosted by Hyun's Dojo:https://youtu.be/6TWX9QnQY6QCurrent Project ProgressSTORYFM3K's story has been solidified thanks to some of your guys' feedback.Although it's not perfect, I am satisfied enough to produce the pilot, which will last for a solid 30-40 minutes of run time.Besides, we're finally entering production...

December Poster ("Rhythm & Ribbons")
I hope your holidays are filled with coziness, good time with family and friends, and fruitful respite. This month's poster is the very first showing a character from Rhythm & Rockets, a video I did 2 years ago. I haven't released any art about that animation since, despite it being a piece that was very near and dear to me. I would like to make a sequel to it someday.If I were, I would feature the mud-faced girl featured in this poster! Here she's gazing at Rhythm's bright blue ...
FM3K Storyboards Done (over-done?)
Howdy all.I would love to share with you some progress on the Falcomaster pilot, which is still in PRE-production. That is, I haven't begun pumping out any assets that will appear in the final product. This is because planning out the story is very important, and must be accomplished first.Good news is that the script + dialogue has been drafted up: 44 pages in total. I spent the past 2 weeks drawing out a scene-by-scene, line-by-line, storyboard for the entire thing to nail down the timing ...

November Poster ("His Future Forecast")
November marks one FULL year of monthly posters!Here's to another year of detailed illustration practice. I gotta say, my drawing skills have gotten a lot better thanks to you poster patrons.This poster features our first Falcomaster poster! Here we have our titular gamer carrying a heavy CRT TV on a cloudy day. That is, until his leg gets caught in the power cable, reminding him of his journey so far, from the future year 20XX (his home).Like I mentioned in the announcement post , I've ...
Test Now! FM3K Prototypes v1
Here are two VERY VERY early prototypes of the FM3K project I'm working on. I use prototypes to test out the gameplay and get the basic programming architecture down before diving into the actual production.Once you install/open these files (see INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.txt), you can play them with the following controls:fm3k_poc_v1: Point and click to move the player around the environment. (Future feature) The blue hexagons will trigger story moments and allow you to observe objects in mo...
Now in Development: Falcomaster3000
Top Secret Announcement - Keep the following under wraps!I'm proud to announce to you guys that my next project is a pilot episode of Falcomaster3000, based on that opening animation I made a year ago. If successful, it will be a full series, though quite short (7-8 episodes?).Although I'm dying to continue Gildedguy's tale, I must give this project a fair attempt. I've been thinking about it for months, and the idea of an e-sports drama/visual novel/rhythm game fills me with exc...
