Hey all,
Times are rough and everything is on fire, so the Lackacrew has decided to lighten things up a bit, with a good old fashioned donnybrook.
Several of the voice actors will be joining us Saturday, in character, for a game night! We'll answer audience questions along the way too. It looks like there may al...
Some longer segments featuring character acting/voice acting this time!

Hey all,
I'll be streaming tomorrow, Saturday August 29th, starting at 5pm CT / 6pm ET at my Twitch Channel.
I'll be working on various Patreon and Kickstarter and Film related projects, a...
Just another progress update!
- A peek at shot glass prototypes from the factory! It might be hard to tell from the images, but they're sort of a square with slightly rounded edges in shape. You can get a better look in 2020-08-26 19:00:21 +0000 UTC

Some more previews of how the animation is shaping up this month!
You can see some early examples of how 3D props are working their way into production as well as a bit of effects animation in the form of the passing train. Audio is still a work in progress at this point as well (sound effects aren't final), but the pieces...
Hey all,
I'm going to be doing an open YouTube stream tonight starting at 10pm CT while I work on some Patron and Kickstarter related pieces. Feel free to hop in for a chat! Some of the film crew may pop in too.

Hey everyone,
We've got a live chat + UNO game scheduled tonight with the film crew!
We'll be chatting and answering questions like usual, but as an added bonus - behold the slaughter!

Hey all,
As part of that animated film Kickstarter, we promised an emoji pack and, well, here it is! Patrons get it first!
Contained in the download (attached to this post), you'll find 50 emojis/emotes sized for Discord, Slack and Twitch, and 12 stickers sized for Telegram. Also included are higher resolu...
Some progress of late. There's so much animation going on right now but I can't show it just yet. Errrg.

Just a small sampling of the animation currently underway! (You might have caught a glimpse of some of these if you were at the last Lackachat.) These clips are in various stages of completion, to be later handed off to the clean-up team for, well, clean-up, color and lighting.

Enjoying the outdoors in summer in Missouri is complicated (not pictured are the copious chiggers, ticks and mosquitoes).
Still, it beats lockdown.
Hope you're all hanging in there!
Just trying to regain my footing with the comic art here. Been frazzled and working on less ideal hardware this month, but a ref...
Okay, stream starting for real this time (barring further incident). Sorry for the delay!

Stream postponed - technical difficulties. Sorry about that!
I should be up and running within the hour (if system restore/shrieking into the void resolve this).

This is a discussion and Q&A Fable and I held with the animation team on the Lackadaisy short film in June (edited to cut out detritus). A few people have told me that they couldn't make it to the live event but still wanted to see the session, so I figured I'd share, in case it's of any interest!
Basically, it's a...
Well, device problems persist. Nico is patron art, but also an attempt to reacclimate to my old tablet. It's hanging in there, but my laptop - henceforth known as The Crashtop - isn't having it with large comic files. (Some of you who attend my streams might recall that this is the reason I bought a Wacom Mobilestudio t...

A short test as Ashley Nichols (the clean-up lead) works out the line brushes, textures and lighting approach we'll use to put final polish on the animation.

Hey all,
Fable and I are going to spend a little time streaming tomorrow, discussing both the fun and the tribulation of making an independent animated short film with Ashley Nichols (Hell Puppy, HuniCast). Everyone is welcome to come and listen and throw some questions our way in the chat!
We'll be strea...
If you've been keeping up with the dev log, you might've seen the Viktor sheet already. Freckle's had to be even more detailed for some scenario specific things.

The team has lately moved on to finalizing character designs and drawing up formal turnarounds and sheets for animators, so I thought I'd share some of what that looks like! Horatio's is actually one of the simpler sheets as his appearance in the film is brief and we only need to account for a limited range of expressions and...
