FLASHGITZ FRIDAY 11/14

Brothers! Welcome back to Flashgitz Friday, your central hub for keeping up with the finest in the autistic arts. I bet you’re wondering what kind of jaw-dropping, eye-popping, ball-twisting updates I have for you today! 

But before that, a victory lap! Space King 3 has hit 6 million views! This is a huge achievement, brothers, and it’s barely been two months! Thanks to all of you, who spread the good gospel of Space King.

If you’re not spreading his word, you’re obligated to watch each episode 3 times a day.

For today’s menu, I’ve got a hearty dose of Space King Episode 4 updates with a side of a special Space King-related Tom and Don video! I can see you kicking your little feet in excitement!

So – Where are we at with Space King 4? Have there been any bloody Liveleak-style accidents at the cartoon factory? Quite the contrary! Space King 4 has been coming along great!

Right now, we’re finishing up animation and have moved on to the VFX and compositing phases of production. We’ve got a lot of lights shining on the characters and some beautiful smoke effects. It's starting to look like a finished toon, boys! We only have so many things to complete before we have the final toon. Are you getting excited? Was Space King Episode 4 on your guys’ Christmas list? 

You’d better be good, because if even one of you is naughty, we’re cancelling Christmas!

Here’s a little incentive to stay on Santa’s nice list:

The thousand-yard wall-eyed stare.

Why are they red, anyways? Globsticular cancer?

Office workers looking at a picture of their wretched family before getting back to the Excel worksheets.

This is like breaking into NICU and taking an armful of fetuses.

VFX department earning their keep with this dramatic red lighting.

Look at that sexy stream of smoke coming from the barrel. 

This trusty hatch has probably crushed hundreds of aliens.

The blood smoothly falls off the sword, never staining the blade that was folded 1000 times.

I hope that got you guys hungry for some more SPACE KING! Because I still have more to show you! We’ve got a lot of backgrounds ready to go as well. Specifically, we have a lot of sweet shots from the ships’ hangar! Check it out!

They go to sleep in their little garages like in Thomas the Tank Engine.

Has anyone done the math on how tall these things are? Our math guy is out for the week.

This image shows a better sense of scale on this HUGE hangar, plus an uncircumcised ship in the foreground.

A better look at one of the ship’s poop chute. NSFW.

The cockpit where two PWs can sit at an appropriate distance apart.

Some beds where two PWs can sleep an appropriate distance apart.

This episode is going to be a lot of fun, so I hope you guys are ready for a hell of a holiday season! But if you’ve still got the Space King bug, we’ve got a special Space King-themed episode coming out TODAY on the Tom and Don channel!

Today’s episode on Tom and Don is about the HERETICAL FAN ART from Space King fans! All fan art is deeply cherished, but some of you severely-artistic people have been drawing some very naughty things that need addressing. I think you’re all going to enjoy this one, because it was a lot of fun seeing what kind of things the “heretics” have been up to.

Let not thine eyes lead you astray from Space King’s path.

Believe it or not, the problem with this one isn’t Hatemonger’s sexuality...

Yes, Hatemonger’s “wife” will be addressed.

Well, brothers, that does it for this week’s Flashgitz Friday! Tune in next week to get more updates on your most favoritest show in the whole wide world, Space King! And as usual, thank you to our Brothers and Greedy Brothers for all your support! Space King is only doing well because of your generosity. There’s no way we could do this without you guys, so we can’t wait to blow you away with Episode 4, just around the corner!

See you next week!

It’s fan art time!

A crossover piece by @ZMarcoXH on Twitter. Chestnut’s a little small but I guess that’s to keep him from crushing Pim on the side of the bench.

The Kevin Legion by @Aleta_Carno on Twitter. This is a reference to an old Flashgitz Friday joke where the Kevin legion is only composed of one blue guy named Kevin. I had totally forgotten about that until I saw this piece!

A piece of FAKE production art, showcasing Hatemonger’s face by u/The_Great_Sir_Salmon on Reddit. I wish I knew it was fake sooner. We had to kill 2 animators and a board artist.

If you want your fan art showcased on Flashgitz Friday, help me find it by sharing it with #Spaceking! See you next week, brothers!

Praise Be!
