Freckle the Cat

Just a little compilation of Freckle being very kitty-cat, although he also looks a bit dismayed to find that his gun is an untextured Blender model.
Also, Serafine yukking it up for good measure. 

These are mostly ...

FireCats

Some recent work for a club under The International Cat Association umbrella and their upcoming Chicago show. One design is basically a convention book cover, and the other (on the green background) is a t-shirt design.
(To be clear, I'm not taking on clients now because I have no time for it with the film project going o...

To keep those of you who may have ordered shot glass sets abreast, in case you aren't following the Kickstarter Updates, they have not shipped yet in spite of our May/June es...

Rocky's Violin

Just a short glimpse of in-progress rough animation by Mel Mrozek, referencing Fabrice You's violin playing. Fabrice is a jazz violinist we brought on specifically so that we...

Shop Talk Saturday!

Tomorrow, Saturday June 26th at 5pm ET / 2pm PT, Fable, Newt and I be live on YouTube talking shop with a most excellent group of webcomic creators, discussing the ins, outs, ups and ...

Composition Palette Guide

Thought it might be of some minor interest to some of you to see how we've worked out color and light effects for the characters from one scenario to the next for the film. 

This guide is for the compositors to use, providing detailed instructions for exactly which colors are applied to the characters, how they're ...

Lackadaisy Store + Weekend Stream

Hello all,

The Lackadaisy Gumroad Store has recently launched with some new items, including the Lackadaisy Film Poster!

As a small thanks for your support, all $2+ Patrons should have received a message from me containing dis...

...in which Wick would just like to finish his drink, thank you.
(Thought you might appreciated this smear frame from some of Mel M's animation.)
<...

The completed poster for the animated film, plus some of the stages in its evolution.

Art Pile, Episode XVII

More of that backer art, once again with all my thanks for supporting the animated film!

Cleanup at the Bar

Compositing color grading/ambient light isn't done yet here (and obviously, it looks better when it's not a GIF), but I thought this was a nice example of how things are starting to look!

Animation by Nick and cleanup by Zebirdbrain!

Art Pile with Avengeance

More KS backer art!
Haha...and this is only some of it. I'll share more soon (there are only so many of these I can fit into a single post) but I once again would like to express my intense and utmost gratitude for the support! In turn, I hope you'll enjoy these!

Polls for Plushes?

So, I've got an eye on reprinting the Lackadaisy book volumes eventually through Iron Circus Comics. They are curious about the viability of producing character plushies to go along with the books, but before we embark on the tricky process of prototyping something, we thought it'd be best to gauge interest in general - would...

Animation Stream Today!

Fable's doing some animating for the film today while I do some accompanying art stuff. Join us for a chat while we work!  

We're live now here on YT! 

Film Poster - WIP

Still very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd share a peek at how this is shaping up.

Sketch/layout by me
Inks and color flats by Kaz
Color by Fable 

Artist Shout Out - N. Gravewriter, MysticRavenous

It's a real privilege to be in the virtual presence of so many marvelously creative people and their artistic manifestations - it's something I never want to take for granted - so I thought I'd take a moment to tip my hat to MysticRavenous for their deft and endearing work on a Rocky cosplay, and to N. Gravewriter for this in...

Invisible Shopping Carts

Making the most of an empty grocery store parking lot - it's a Missouri tradition.

Heh, they will eventually be in cars of course , but I couldn't resist sharing this in its most hilarious state. Anyway, this was really just an excuse to share some more cleanup progress with you all, because I'm excited about how thing...

Lofi Beats to Murder To?

A gift from Fable.
We're working on a new set of comic dubs and...this happened for some reason.

Mordecai's emotional sampler plate, set to the tune of "Droplets" by Philanthrope.
Voice by SungWon Cho (ProZD) 

Another Edition of Art-Heap

Various Patron and Kickstarter backer pieces (with enormous thanks for the support!)

Among the mix, Lacy at tennis, Virgil before the fall, and Wick trying to coax you into his music video (enter at your own risk).

Also, that latest animation compilation 2021-04-20 00:09:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Animation Roughs/Cleanup Compilation (part 6)

An early look at the next compilation video we'll be publishing on YouTube!
This version is a bit different from what will appear there, though (I can show Patrons some things we want to otherwise keep a secret for now), and you've probably seen some of these clips already, although in some cases, that would have been pre-...

Lackachat - Saturday!

So, the Lackadaisy Discord is turning 4 and, naturally, we'll be celebrating with the usual assortment of festivities: sophisticated discourse, witty repartee, sparkling anecdotes...  

Oh, and live games and art!

Clean-up

Just a little peek a how things are starting to look now! I'll share a longer video soon.
Rough animation here by Mel Mrozek and cleanup by Kuto.

Cracker Dispensary

Horatio.

(I'll probably end up sharing a lot of KS backer art this month, among other things, as I try to get everything digitally edited and delivered!)

Art Book Bits and Pieces

A few more of the art book character entries. All of the main players have a two page spread, others have single pages or half-pages.
