#IndieAnimationDay
a day late with Starbucks* I made a film called 'Welcome to Hell' back in college, about a demon tasked with tormenting a teenager, but he's very bad at it.

so apparently I missed the 10-year anniversary of Welcome to Hell on June 5th???
Thinking about doing a "Happy Late Anniversary" stream with the voice actors, would you guys be into that?
In the meantime, uhhh... here's a gif of a shot from W2H2!

I'm working on a sequel, and by the time I post it I'll be walking in 10 years late with Starbucks. Here's the teaser:

this little scene from the film was posted on tumblr as a gif set back in the day, and frankly that post is the reason it got any traction at all, so I thought it'd be worth sharing it. Thanks

Time for another rough gif from this month's Patreon post! The lip-sync isn't done yet, but I'm pretty happy with it so far! It's got everything I suck at: front-facing characters, moving slowly towards the camera, and figuring out how the FUCK to handle Sock's stupid ass bangs

I think I'll start posting a random W2H2 gif from each month's Patreon haul on twitter, so here's one of Sock! I have a lot of fun drawing characters looking miserable.

@sir_lungdung
haha... yeah. When I made this, I did make it for me, but it was also something I pictured ultimately developing and working on w/a team. But now, if I'm just thinking about making stuff for me, I've got other stuff in me to make! Haha. It'll be nice to set this one free!

I talked to a 16yo the other day at a band gig, I asked if he liked anime, (just trying to relate to the youths yknow), and I shit you not he said “actually I think I’m the only one at my school who doesn’t”. It was literally the other way around for me! It’s so wild.

yep, still workin' on it! It's gonna be posted once I get it to a "close enough" point that I'm satisfied with, so some of it will still be rough animation. Here's another gif in the meantime:

some of y'all might not know this, but my sister runs an etsy shop where she sells Sock hats. She had to stop making them for awhile 'cause the sheer amount of orders was overwhelming, but she has them listed again! Check it out:

I found an unfinished turnaround of this old werewolf girl character I have, so I decided to clean it up and post it! My goal was to make her both busty and masculine but still have an appealing design... hope it worked! Late for

Hey guys! Now that the traffic on my pinned tweet about W2H2 has died down, I want to thank you for all of the excitement, kind words, & support! I've been in a funk about my online presence as an artist for a couple years now, so seeing such a warm response was really uplifting!

FELLOW INDIE ANIMATION CREATORS (& animator's who've worked on indie shows), I have a QUESTION:
What do you pay/get paid, generally? (feel free to DM)
I've never done a call for artists for W2H2 cause I didn't think I could pay ppl what they're worth, but I genuinely don't know

“I’ve been thinking,” I begin, as my girlfriend and I lie in bed, drifting to sleep. She isn’t sure what I’m about to say, but she braces herself for something serious. “I might buy another wolf sweatshirt.”

Throwback to a couple years ago when my gf spotted this feral Sonic at a pumpkin patch haunted maze, and I absent-mindedly texted it to
@CapsuleGhost
with no context, and he was like "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT A DEAD BODY WHERE ARE YOU"

some fool had a hot take awhile back that was like "can we stop doing magical girl transformation jokes? It's not funny anymore", but FUCK that. It's an homage. Gen X got to grow up and do their Jaws zoom/dolly shot, and we get to do our sailor moon henshins & akira bike slides

Sock was always intended to mess w/gender norms, but I never canonized a gender id for him. I’ve seen trans hc’s too, so I like ppl hc-ing him however they feel is most relatable! I’m told a lot of nb’s have chosen the name Sock, & I’m very honored by that! His new VA is nb too!

me, totally unafraid of spiders: *trying to catch one in our room*
gf: Just lemme get him
me, very tough & cool: No, babe, he's super scary up close, you wont be able to handle it
gf: Ok, go ahead
me, analyzing the situation: Gimme a sec, he might be fast, or super dangerous

"That's a complete lie. If we were on a sinking ship and you could only save me or Sonic, you would chose Sonic, and I know that in my heart."
"That's ridiculous, if we were on a sinking ship with him, Sonic would save us."

and I thought it'd be fun to do an exercise where we put together a miniature pitch deck for an original project. I got carried away with the designs, she ended up writing an entire pilot... so anyway, here it is!

On the first ep of Tuca & Bertie I boarded on, I spent way too much time drawing this bag of Scorchin’ Hot Gravel Nuggets, & the lovely design team cleaned it up and used it. As a Flamin Hot Cheeto stan I’m so proud of this, & it actually stays a recurring prop thru the season!
