I'm amazed how fast I got the lighting done. It helps that I've toned it down considerably compared to what I did in the Convergence arc.
For comparison, here's what the rough version looked like.

...are hard to animate.
Sometimes, tweening arms and the forearms works and the elbows align. In the pic above, it didn't. Several times for this cartoon, I have to animate his arms frame by frame to get it right.
More roughs, including that of an animation smear.

Roughing out character assets on top of storyboard. A bit messy looking, isn't it?
I thought I could get these done faster, but I was wrong. but at the very least I can get them out every four weeks like I did for Part 4 and 5 of "Convergence at Gravity Falls". I'm now taking my time instead of rushing.

Where the action takes place in the next two installments.
Here you see a layout drawing on top of the animatic drawing. While the scientists talk, Stanley Pines sits and watches TV with Morty. I wonder what they're watching?

The beginning of a three-part story, a continuation of a story-line originating from an episode of "Last Time on Team Teen". This one is fun because it's the origin of a powerful and hopefully reoccurring villain.
What could the "Resurrection" be referring too?

Yes, I did practically trace it from a pre-existing pic, as I needed to create an version that I can animate, and since I'm going to be using this outside exterior one more time.

Took the new assets made from the recent cartoon, and updated the rigs. I don't know when I'll use a profile or an OTS (over the shoulder) angles, but I'm glad I have them now.

These two characters show up in fanart a lot as good friends.
Perhaps they're more than friends?
Nah, there's no non-canon shipping in Team Teen.
So far, the new pipeline (which is the pipeline used on Conroy Cat shorts), is allowing this episode to be produced at a more efficient pace. This phase we're just roughing out character assets, but adding animation to it. It normally takes one day to do this, but I'm doing it in two, since there are a lot more animated bits to ...

Originally Morty wasn't going to appear in this upcoming arc, but I realize he'd make a good fit. Plus, building a rig now means I won't have to do it when he appears in future arcs further down the line.
Also, even though he's not a Team Teen member, it doesn't feel completely right to not have at least one teen appear, amiri...

They're main characters in the first new arc of Team Teen. Couldn't find a model sheet of Ford Pines so I pretty much just based his build off of Stan. I probably shouldn't use a ref pic where Stan slouches, but I wanted to draw him in a more comfortable attire, since he retired his "Mr. Mystery" look at the end of the ser...

Here's a Conroy Cat cartoon that I've been sitting on for a while. Even though I'd like to upload more Conroy shorts, polls and surveys showed that Team Teen is more requested (especially on Youtube), but hopefully we'll have more Conroy Cat shorts in this year.

At long last, I finally uploaded a cartoon. Sorry it's a little short. This cartoon got reworked heavily, and it's part of an old production pipeline. Now I got a new one in place, that'll allow for cartoons to be a bit longer, and for them to come out faster too.
I hope you enjoy thi...
Despite the fact I haven't been uploading updates on the current projects, I've actually have been working on new episodes. I just wanted to space updates in a way so that it'll follow up with the episode the updates are showing. That's the downside of uploading content too far in advance!
But rest assured the new cartoons ar...
The final version of this . Though looking at the final pic. I could stand to add an extra frame.
I'm going to take a bit of a break to enjoy the holidays. See you guys next year!

The storyboard-animation comparison if you will. The new planned format of Team Teen episodes are different then when I started making this episode, so I ended up changing how the cartoon plays out. The biggest difference is that Ben doesn't appear in his human form as originally planned.

Rook was easy to do, so I was able to finish him in half the time.

It's been quite a while since I animated a Team Teen series. It's production pipeline is different from the Conroy Cat shorts, so I'm trying to get a handle of everything again. Especially since I want to make it possible to upload an episode every other week.

Remember when Conroy turned chibi in the webcomic? There's a few callbacks to an old story arc.
A storyboard for an upcoming "What Chu Got?"
Did you know we didn't release a cartoon starring Conroy or Doggy this year?
This particular cartoon won't come until next year.
Out of all main five Team Teen members, all the boys have to transform into a superpowered form. Jenny and Kim don't. Interesting.

One for Jake. Fun fact: based on Youtube comments he's the least recognized main member of Team Teen. He probably won't appear much in future episodes.

For the intro I'm making for Team Teen. A lot of it will be reused footage from past Team Teen animations, but I'm making new animations for the main five.

Over on /co/, someone wondered what it'd be like if Kim Possible fought Ben 10. It seemed like a cool idea, and it'll get me back into the swing of working on something pretty big and Team Teen related, so I agreed to do it.
Plus, it'll be nice for Ben to finally appear in another Team Teen animation since he wasn't in Converg...
