Dear Patreons,
most of you already know about the things talked about in this video, but I thought I'd share nontheless. Over the past couple of weekend evenings I've been tinkering with this little update video. I felt bad because a lot of people were asking about the series on YouTube whilst I still hadn't put out any...

Dear Patrons,
I hope you are all doing well! I’d like to start off with a reminder that you can still sign up for the art raffle to get an original Elva lino-cut. So far only 9 people have signed up for the raffle, and I would like to wait with conducting the draw until at least 15 people are signed up, so please have...

Two months have passed and it is once more time for the Tales of Zale Art Raffle. As previously mentioned the intent is now to open up the raffle to more people, and based off of your answers in last week's poll I've decided to keep it pretty simple this time around using a google sign-up sheet linked above. Later rounds may ...
2019-05-04 20:37:25 +0000 UTC View PostDear everyone!
The time for the next art raffle is approaching, and I gotta find a new approach to signing up that's more accommodating to everybody - whether Patrons or not.
I'd like to hear your preference, so I've created a poll with some of the means by which signing up could take place that I've b...

Dear Patrons,
I hope you're all doing well! It's been about 3 weeks since I arrived at the Open Workshop, and although I've had my nose deep in work for most of the time I've started to settle properly in in most regards.
I've sent out the newest animatic to people in my network (and some of you guys!) for f...

Dear Patrons,
the sun is shining and it seems that spring is upon us once more. Now seems like a good time for a little update. Since last time I've had my nose deep in the episode 3 animatic; making and re-making parts until I was happy with them. I also spent a week recording and setting up scratch-sound. It might see...

I've made a little collection of my favorite TVP brushes. I use TVPaint for both animation and backgrounds, partly because I really enjoy working with the program's brushes and color mixing in regards to the latter.
The brushes are a bit of a mix between home-made ones, default ones, some I've found on forums and a few ...

Dear Patrons,
First thing's first I'd like to inform that I am making some changes to the Art Raffle. A couple of days ago I was approached by the Patreon support team who kindly informed me that the raffle format did not comply with their Terms of Use. Thinking about it now and with the ongoing lootbox-gambling debates...

Hi dear Patrons! I very spontaneously decided to try and livestream the raffle draw to document it - feel free to jump on over and get the result live!
Update: Congrats to ROBBIE W for winning this month's Patreon raffle - I've sent out a message with further details. Livestreaming the draw might've been a sudden decisi...

Dear Patrons,
I hope you are doing well and are finding the Patreon optimizations to your satisfaction! I have finished giving the page a total re-haul and hope it's a bit easier to navigate now. Among the new additions are the "featured tags" on the left side of the page, an updated "about" section, and buttons you can...

Dear Patrons,
As you know I intend to thank everybody who has pledged along the way in the Tales of Zale episode 3 'thank you' credits. The episode is still a good ways off, but I thought I would rather get ahead of things and make sure to get them right.
Below is a link to the full Patreon thank you list. If you ...

**UPDATE 03/13/19**
In order to comply with Patreon's Terms of Use the raffle will be opened up to non-patrons as well and everyone will get an equal chance to win! I will re-format the raffle and create a sign-up form (or perhaps a quiz or game?) in time for the next scheduled draw. I'm terribl...

Dear Patrons,
This week our graduation film, ‘Ur Aska’ was released online. It seems only appropriate that I should share it with you, as well as the associated bachelor thesis I previously promised.
As you might have seen I’m in the midst of revamping the Patreon page. Right now I’ve made a new p...

Dear Patrons,
As always I hope this post finds you well.

Dear Patreons,
As usual, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying yourselves in these warm holiday times.
As the year comes to an end I want to make one last update to round off 2018. I was aiming to make a video just like last year, but with a cold keeping down my voice and lots of stuff to take care of b...

Dear Patreons,
Yet another month has swiftly passed and we're already half-way into September. I hope you're still feeling well now that the colder autumn days are upon us.
As for what I've been up to it's the usual. For quite a while a lot of smaller details were my focus and I never thought it was quite enough f...

Dear Patreons,
Last week I promised you an extract from the Episode 3 animatic I've been working on, and this week that's what you're getting!
This particular scene has always been one of the most difficult for me to storyboard in episode 3. Because of how the previous episode ended I knew Zale would have to encou...

Dear Patreons,
My time at La Poudrère was a busy one, but also very rewarding in terms of the content I got to make. From the day I arrived I could feel a change in the way I went about drawing and approaching animation. There's something very magical and refreshing about working in a new place, full of outside inspira...

Dear Patreons,
During my time at La Poudrière one of the things we went more in-depth with was the creation of bibles. Unfortunately due to legal reasons I can't show you any of the projects that we worked on developing over there, but at the end of the long work days I would feel very inspired to take what I had learn...

It seems like tradition this time of year that I return from some sort of trip and apologize for not having updated my Patreon for so long. Rather than sounding like a broken record though I'm just going to skip straight to the content and catch you up. This time around, since there's so much I could talk about I'm going to s...

Dear Patrons,
It’s the season of travels once again. It was around this time last year that I returned from my study trip to Korea. Back then the goal was to up my level of animation, and I think that was certainly achieved although there’s still much to be done. This time around the journey goes ...

We have arrived well into 2018. I hope that you’ve all had a great January and are making your way nicely through the winter months. It might have just been for a brief moment, but the other day the sun was shining and it felt like spring was approaching. That should be a good sign of...

Dear Patreons,
I hope you have all had some happy holidays. I certainly have - it's been nice being back with the remaining family. I wanted to make a summary of the year and found that the video format suited the thought better. Looking back at the year I guess I've been up to more stuff than I thought, and it's been f...

Dear Patreons,
Things are going steadily forward as usual. I've recently upped my animation progress speed and hope to keep it going till Christmas. In case you're interested in a further view behind the scenes I've put together a little "production trailer" to show some of the progress being made on episode 3.

Dear Patreons,
Attached are some shots from a scene from Tales of Zale I've had the chance to work on for the past week or so. What really gave me a boost was that I got back some rough shots from a classmate of mine, Poul Niclasen whom I'd "typecast" for some animation on Bruhn the buffalo in the upcoming episode. Afte...

I apologize for the one-week gap in posts. Things got quite hectic with the onset of the annual animation festival here in Viborg.
I was at it from dawn till dusk! Well, for the first 3 days I was back in Copenhagen for my mom's 50th birthday. We had somewhere between 50-100 guests and I was the only one ...
Dear Patreons,
