Chapter 015 : Roughs complete

Moving along at a pace to make up for lost time. Don't have the time to clean the boards (aside from a few panels here and there), but progress is progress! 

The last 3 chapters of Episode 3 are next, and then onto the REAL SHOW! 

I won't keep you guys any longer than needed, but just wanted to keep y'al...

Chapter 014 : Roughs complete

Despite my hopes of having the 3rd episode completely boarded by now, I'm a few chapter short. The good news is, production doesn't start til January, and the jobs I took last month (while they're eating into this month), will cover bills and allow for more funds to go to the project for a little while.

With that, I've ...

Chapter 013 : Boards complete

The beginning of Episode 3 (chapter 13) boards are complete!

Next up is Chapter 014: A new character is introduced, and hints of the first stand battle emerge.  There's been plenty of challenges along the way, but a big one is coming in a big way — Road battles.

The nature of a motion comic is lightly ...

Thank you, guys <3

First off, just wanted to mention that Chapter 013 is roughed out and half cleaned.

BSV update aside ... some of you probably already heard, the cast for the English dub of JJBA Pt.5 was announced last week, and I'm honored to report I was cast as Abbacchio. Just saying that is so weird lol, and obviously I wanted to to...

BSV Update : 2 of 3 Episodes Boarded

Nothing you guys don't know already :] Pretty much info I've been keeping you guys up-to-date with here on Patreon. Basically:

- 2 of 3 episodes have been storyboarded. 

- Gonna finish the 3rd episode of boards by (the latest) early November. 

- Will use the rest of November and December to gather ...

Episode 2 boards are completed!

We're halfway through September and boards for 12 chapters (2 episodes) are now complete. Before moving on to the third episode storyboards, I'll be making an update video to get everyone up to speed, and layout the game plan for the next steps.

Of course, as we all know, plans aren't always the certainties we hope them...

[Spoilers] Chapter 011 : Storyboards Complete

Chapter 011 moved along nicely. And I've got a feeling Chapter 012 will too. 

I'm planning to complete it by the 13th... that's the goal. That'll conclude episode 02, at which point I'll be making an update video sharing the progress made and setting the new deadline for the 3 episodes of boards: end of October / b...

[Spoilers] Chapter 010 : Storyboards Complete

Wahoo! Passed the half-way marker and with just two more chapters left in Episode 2.

I'd meant to make an update video outlining the progress, and I still intend to, however progress on the project seems a bit more of a priority than telling people about the progress on the project lol.

As I'd men...

[Spoilers] Chapter 009 : Complete / 010 : Roughs Done

Chapter 009 boards have been complete for a little over a week now, which marks our half-way marker : 1 and a half episodes.

Chapter 010 boards are roughed out and I've begun cleaning those, hopefully done by end of week.

Chapter 011 boards will move pretty fast a...

Chapter 008 boards done and new Shirt on the way

As DP's JJBA part 5 wraps up today (I'll be biting my lip holding off til next Thursday to watch it), I sent in the revised shirt design this morning. You guys are already so supportive, this isn't some kinda up-sell to you guys, just a heads up that it's coming soon.

More to the point, the boards for Chapter 008 are co...

[Spoilers] Chapter 007 : Storyboards Complete

Hey guys! Boards for Chapter 007, which has now been re-arranged to be Chapter 001 are completed!

I will have to adjust the original Chapter 001 (which will now be Chapter 007), but it's definitely for the best. I'll be making those adjustments today, and moving on to boarding Chapter 008 either tonight or tomorrow. 2019-07-10 23:36:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Commission done, the path is cleared

A bunch of stuff happened this June, unfortunately a chunk of the month was eaten up with an animation commission. I wasn't able to secure the clean-up assistance of Kried, so I ended up having to do the whole thing myself, which resulted in more time being spent than I'd hoped.

But it's done! And bills should now be co...

Episode 2 boards

Episode 1 deals mostly with introducing our main protagonist, but with a hint at the surrounding dangers to come. Episode 2, while giving us a little more backstory into our main villain, will primarily be a battle the likes of which José has never experienced (having never engaged with a genuine threat before).

While...

[Spoilers] Episode 01 : Complete storyboards

Boards for Episode 01 include Chapters 001 - 006.

* Chapter 001 boards are a bit funky, as I pulled them from the animation file I started.
** Frames will likely be shuffled, edited, added, and removed, but the general outline is here.

CHAPTER 001

POLL : Patreon access to storyboards?

Episode 1 boards are dooooooonnneeeee!!

I was curious : As patreons, would you like to have the option to view all the boards in a single location? Obviously, if you don't wanna see them, you simply don't have to...

Boards : Chapter 005 roughed out

I realize I've been posting a lot of updates, and I'm hoping you guys find it productive rather than a burden on your inboxes. I just wanna keep y'all in the loop.

I don't want to water down the weight of certain bigger updates with these smaller ones, but I think I can circumvent that with more helpful post titles (i.e...

BSV + MUDA + Giveaways

Blood Sun Vendetta

Progress continues as I wrap up cleaning the boards for Chapter 004. That means we'll be cracking into Chapter 005 after next week (then Chapter 006), and hopefully wrapping boards on Episode 1 by the end of the month. 

I've been pretty open with sharing boards on social me...

On to Chapter 004 boards

Chapter 003 is pretty much wrapped up. Onto chapter 004 where we get a little back story on our dick-shooting protagonist edge-lord. This one is a bit tricky. Been on the fence about how much is shared and how much info is saved for later.

Regardless, we get a taste of the lore of the hero, and some hi...

BSV Progress Report : 04.03.19

I said I'd keep y'all updated. And so, I happily shall.

Chapter 001 : Pretty much done boarding the rough animatic. Still missing some sound and stuff, but solid enough to move forward.

.

Chapter 002 : A little more than half boarded, haven't hit the animatic yet, but plan t...

[SPOILERS] Chapter 001 : SUPER ROUGH

*IF YOU DON'T WANNA SEE ANY SPOILERS, DO NOT WATCH*

--Please do not share this. I know I can't control what folks do, but it would be appreciated--

That said, some things may not be clear due to the roughness, plus it's missing a bunch of dialogue and sound. Buuuuuut it's in good enough shape for me mov...

Voices : Sekiro

Hey y'all, by now some of you may already know, but I got to voice a bunch of incidentals in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice :]

I clocked a couple of clips from the beginning of the game, but there's more lines and of more variety lol. Once I get em all I'll post another more comprehensive compilation for you guys. 

March Madness : Gold Cobra

Rough animatics are in the works for the first chapter of Blood Sun Vendetta. Just wanted to give a heads up to y'all <3

Also took a day to get José's 「Gold Cobra」 somewhat explained for those that were asking about it and it's relation to 「Blackhole Sun」.

JoJo Immersion Adventure

Hey y'all! So it's been a week since I got back from Japan, and holy shit it feels like months have gone by already.

While I didn't take as many photos as I probably should have, I posted a snippet of pics I did take (BELOW). 

The first shop I passed with JoJo stuff, I got so amped, only to l...

BSV Wallpaper : by Harry Partridge

Harry Partridge (aka HappyHarry) had commissions open last month, and I thought it would be cool to see his rendition of Blood Sun Vendetta. Lo and behold it turned out better than I could have hoped.

I also figured it would be fun to share it o...

BSV : The Game Plan

First off, I'd like to welcome the new-comers to the patreon <3

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support, and I'm so floored y'all goin on this journey with us. For those that have been supporting my projects in the past, I wanna (again) thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience and support (I...

BSV: Chapter 000 "A Non-Canon Test Scene"

Holy shit! Oh My God! SUNNNABEEETCH! The test scene is finally completed! (Though, I suppose a good number of you already knew that...)

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience and support during the development of the test scene. It's been a haul, but so much has been learned and planned for the future. We've...

End of the Year : Beginning of the Road

I'll be making a video talking about the Blood Sun journey so far (not sure if it'll be out before the end of the year), but I wanted to give you guys a heads up on everything <3

So around this time last year, I'd been planning the trip to Mexico to do research for the project. Shortly after the New Year I spent 8 days cros...

Picking up the pace

Yozo, ya bozos, I hope yer all kickin names and takin butts.

Progress on the test scene is moving along well. Above is the first minute at nearly 90% completion. The second minute is nearly completely colored, and I'm also waiting on some of the last art assets.

I have a plan of attack that I think will work out best for...

Muda! Muda! Muda!

Ahoy pals and gals: we got ourselves some updates, friends.

Blood Sun Vendetta

Test scene assets are almost completed. Dorito Meatbag's excellent work is coming close to end. Which will leave, additional asset edits, coloring, shading, backgrounds, animation effects, and final...

Progress and Reality

Blood Sun Vendetta continues to truck along. Above is the temp intro (will be changing some stuff) for the test scene that I'm working on.

While I'm super happy with the progress, a lot of realities are setting in. Here are my mid-progress takeaways in list form:

• It's going to happen. Nothing in the list is meant t...
