Xmas card 2022

Cover for a quick card I did for my sister on behalf of the family. (She's been living away for around a year now and I wish her only the best).

BBQ For Two scene

I've put W.I.P.s of this here before, but I'll plonk the YouTube video here also for perusing folks who aren't donators to look at.

misc music doodles dec 2022

A couple are worth expanding, while others I may pillage for elements of their sound design or melody in future, better tunes.

Foxglove scriptboards

I'm gradually discovering a process (hopefully future cartoons won't take so long to write, once I pick out the methods I've tried that inspire the easiest). I've got to the stage with the script n...

Melting moggy

Bit for Ollie & Scoops done in OpenToonz. (There will be animation for my own projects coming eventually, promise!)

Sound Effects 2022

Some bit more "hi-fi" sound design/recordings. Can't remember what the last lot of noises I posted were. About half of these are in fact sounds from years ago I hadn't properly mastered, trimmed, n...

Misc. bits and bobs

Various doodles. The green robed mouse was from a drawing years ago that I still quite like, but the colours aren't quite how I would like them.

Still writing Foxglove. It's all, as my friend...

FNAF Security Breach thing

Was meant for Halloween but ended up late. So rushed roughing stage, but then took time with colours and cleanup which is kind of the reverse order of importance. Oh well!

Foxglove's brothers

Bit stumped again with the storyboard/writing. It would help if I had a vague idea of some of the secondary characters' backgrounds. I don't know whether Foxglove's antagonistic siblings are aspiri...

Another dimorphic deer doodle

Part of a very short brainstorm with Golfinho to pitch an idea. Still, I like these sort of colours (and the last one I accidentally made the background layer black which might make for an interest...

AOK rough

Little bit of animation for Arón Keyser's (aka PrimatePunk's) AOK, done using OpenToonz! I probably could have better conveyed the neck-break gag, but hopefully you get the idea lol.

Kooky Nuts Pop Vol. 5

Here's a free album I submitt...

Quick Krita brush test

After a few days of repeatedly having brushes corrupt and not be able to load them, I figured out my large textures were a little too large. Most of Krita's patterns are ~100-150KB whereas mine wer...

Quick OpenToonz test

Certainly runs better on the new Linux machine than on the Windows 7. Though if a program makes a 32GB RAM 12-core CPU computer choke, even a little, then it's the program that's wrong lol. (But no...

Dozy compressed piano tune

Dad's weird "upwards" compressor design with saggy, laggy time constant does a nice job doing that 60's over-compressed piano effect. I end up playing slowly and laggy to complement it.

This ...

big fat popeye face

Did for the Popeye reanimate credits. Also trying out Krita.

3 bottle-based tunes

Few months ago, I sampled some bottle blowing and plunking (been on a sound recording/organising/design binge lately) and here's a few musical doodles based on those sounds. The metallic "wow" soun...

whole bunch of musical doodles/noodles

Lots of bum notes and poorly mixed etc. as these are the results of slapping ideas down in the middle of doing something else (usually another tune) as soon as it comes. It's unlikely I'll go back ...

ollie and scoops episode 9 roughs

I already plonked this on Twitter but here it is in better quality. Also because Patreon seems to be the most complete archive of my stuff at this point, I may as well try and keep everything toget...

popeye reanimate scene composite test

A friend helped me out a bit with Natron, and it's behaving much better now. Although this is before any filters or effects, so we'll see how much worse it gets. But there's a lot about Natron I lo...

popeye reanimate pencil tests in reverse order

Having a webcam attached to a mic arm which is clamped onto the animation desk is very convenient! I like to deliberately set myself up for unpredictability by drawing keys and even inbetweens that...

ode to doorbell

Or at least the melody sounds bit like that.

Same old kick, hi-hat, clap beat I've been doing a lot lately. Hi-hat from 'Ovis of Opalescence', claps and shaker from Kaleidoscopic Bubbly, caba...

sonic remix (and soundtrack album download)

'Cos Green Hill Zone hasn't been done to death already! For the Golfinho cartoon credits.

EDIT 27/05/22: Attached now is the soundtrack! (like it is on Bandcamp 'cept this is .wav ...

doe in green

oo-er, getting a bit furry

Anyway I like to experiment more with colours, and Paul Klee and Rothko often manage to barge their way from the subconscious to the conscious over the course of ch...

bart meets sonic OST

Pretty sure this cacophony is final. Marty said it reminded him of Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, which I didn't know about, but is fitting 'cause they're a Japanese band. This'll make sense once the carto...

dull improvised video explaining audio scrubbing in reaper for animation use

I literally only just discovered "loop segment" scrubbing minutes ago, which is why I documented my findings in this video because otherwise I'll surely forget all about it in a few months. So "Her...

odd tune thing dunno

Any bits/ideas that didn't fit the golfinho cartoon immediately got cut/pasted into its own project, and sometimes from there something immediately comes about just from playing about with it. The ...

more tune wip for golfinho cartoon

Pretty sure the animation's been done for a couple weeks now, but I was too stressed out and uninspired the past week to make much progress...til today! There's just one scene left to do, and that'...

funky acid

Figured out how to tie notes on the Timbre Wolf, which opens things up considerably. This is just a one-bar loop knob twiddle thing. After using the internal sequencer as a scratch pad, I'll probab...

timbre wolf

First noodle with the infamous Akai Timbre Wolf. Live, so few bum notes. 

I don't know why these companies feel the need to market analogue synths as "aggressive" all the time, especiall...
