Next project(s)

In the last couple of posts I wrote a little bit about the work project I've been on these past few months. It kinda disintegrated a few weeks ago which allowed me to finish Moancore.

It has resumed, and once again I am not really sure how long it will go for which makes it difficult to plan my own projects.

Unfortunately all of the projects I'd like to do are quite large, so I'm unsure how best to go about doing them, which is why I don't feel like I can turn down this work.  I know that I haven't had a patron vote in a while, so I should do that again soon.

Another org has been asking me for ideas to represent and to sell on to media companies interested in commissioning series, but they are only looking for ideas to buy wholesale, including all intellectual property.  If they sell anything I'd have a hand in making them but wouldn't be doing most of it.

I gave them an old idea that I never animated. I don't feel like I can sell any of the ideas or characters that matter to me. Fernando & co. are not for sale, although I would make a series for an org if they commissioned it but didn't want to own the IP. That looked like  it was going to happen late last year but then the org changed their mind, saying it was "too male for our mandate". Which is fair enough I guess!

Sometimes I don't think I have the capacity to come up with something that is mainstream popular, my tastes are too marginal and i'm too disconnected from and alienated by popular culture.

So anyway, what next? I've started working on Mongoose Man (pictured is a frame from Mongoose Man's very short 2007 adventure), a cartoon based on some comics my friends and I drew years ago. He appeared in quite a few comics but has only ever appeared in cartoons twice.  I think he's really easy to write for, so future episodes would be plausible if the first one did well.

I've been writing a new fantasy series based on my friend's and my D&D adventures, I want to animate the first episode to see if the idea works and if people like it. I don't have a title for it yet.

I'd like to animate any of the three Fernando comic collabs from 2014 (1 2 3). They're all massive of course.

And then there's Raw Latex, which could have one monster episode or two shorter ones to finish the series.

If you are a new patron, hello and welcome!  

Here is the $5 reward and $10 reward links.  They get buried in the feed so I like to post them at the top occasionally.
