FLASHGITZ FRIDAY 10/24

Brothers! Welcome to Flashgitz Friday, where I send you, and only you, secret intimate messages disguised as production updates! You know who you are. The others don’t know, but you and I do ;)

But before we continue with the blogpost, I want to quickly remind you all that there’s only 2 days left to pick up some limited edition merch from the Flashgitz store! https://flashgitz.shop

No, the hoodie and t-shirt WON’T get you shot (legally, this isn’t a guarantee.)

Alright enough chitchat. You and I may have something special going on, but the rest of the patrons are still wondering: Where the hell is Space King 4?

Space King 4’s production is going strong! Our different departments are either hitting every deadline or are ahead of schedule. If this all feels like deja vu, that’s because it’s been pretty consistent for the last few weeks. The whole crew’s working very hard, which makes us very optimistic for Space King’s future! 

The future where we said we were going to start pumping out AI generated slop might not happen anymore. It’ll be HAND-DRAWN slop!

Well, calling it slop is a bit RUDE, innit? Because we have a bunch of very talented artists working to bring this series to life! But don’t just take my word for it. Take a look at some of the finished animation that slid under the door!

Chestnut grows a pair and stands up for himself. Good for him! Good for him.

Bryce tries to coax the new guy to pull the fire alarm during their daily meeting.

Chestnut seconded Bryce’s opinion: “Pull the alarm! It’ll be epic!”

Make this into a gif and post it when people put pineapple on pizza or something. “Ew yucky fruit!”

Brand new money shot! This one’s gonna be kino.

Chestnut making friends with this clearly insignificant, worthless, unnamed Star Defender. How generous of him!

We also have a lot of finished backgrounds that can be shown off to you! Take a look at some of the background department’s latest submissions!

There really needs to be some guy written into the lore whose job is to just light all the candles everywhere.

A further shot of the same scene, showing off all the totally necessary cables draped from the ceiling.

Like, some guy has to totally go and light those candles every day, right?

A cold and icy cave where you could literally freeze your balls off. Hazardous for Psycho Warriors!

The Globule Hall of Fame. You can look but don’t touch!

The background artists knock it out of the park with even the mundane shots. Cleanest bathroom I’ve ever seen!

Are you excited for Space King 4? Are you salivating at the thought of getting into the holiday season with a new installment of Space King? Well be patient, brothers! Because Space King 4 will arrive sooner than you think.. Which is not some cryptic message about the release date. That’s just a cute way of telling you to be patient.

Believe me, we’re excited too! But you can chew on a new episode of Tom and Don while you wait! But before that, a victory lap!

We’re all very happy to see how well our video on Nazi Furries did! What other kind of videos do you guys want to see from the second channel? Is there a worse kind of furry?

This week’s episode is about Warhammer 40k: The Worst Jobs in The Imperium! SOMEBODY has to get to the bottom of the universe’s satire.

Serious discussions about the work of farmers vs. cartoonists. One puts food on the table. One puts joy in your hearts.

Don sees what his great great great great great great great grandson will look like.

THE LIMITED EDITION B-POSITIVE T-SHIRT is RUINED!

Be sure to head on over to the Tom and Don channel and check out the new video today!

Well gang gang, that does it for today’s installment of Flashgitz Friday, but not before I give a big fat thank you to all you lovely Brothers and Greedy Brothers! Your guys’ continued support keeps the lights on over our animator’s desks. Hypothetically, of course. Pretty sure most of them have backlit tablets. The point is that you’re paying for Space King with your hard-earned money and we can’t thank you enough!

We know the next episode is going to blow your globules off, so get hyped! And see you all next Friday!

Now onto the fan art!

A super bad-ass pinup of Chestnut from @Xanerian on Twitter. Big fan of the different reds, greens, and blues laid out everywhere! 

A funky portrait of Captain by @thespacehatter on Instagram. Love the way this one’s rendered!

These SICK low-poly 3d models by u/ultimate-toast on Reddit. This would make for a sweet video game :’)

THIN ICE @miiradrawz FROM TWITTER

Thank you for making it this far, brothers! See you next week!

Praise be!
