Keaton's Cryptid Safari - Project HAMMY

(UPDATE: All done before bedtime, and even with having another project to finish up aside from this! Feelin' pretty nice up in here.LINK: https://mega.nz/file/TA8WURjK#yUaLI8OBjj6GzNpfUdMcucWkXhFpPz5VFz2KEdpXn2s)I still want to do quickies here and there while I take this slow-down period, and to show off a few more OCs of mine. This one, I've shown here previously, and I wanna test out th...

VI THE IMP - "Cue the Tip!"

(UPDATE: All done!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/3F1hVR6C#1jrQldNWp7rV6MiBrBstAqefuvHzwH693vDbhSSFG3MUPDATE ON THE UPDATE: Had an idea to include Reina, so I did!LINK TO VERSION 2!!: https://mega.nz/file/OAVU1KhI#GmUDbUwk4aH4ZggV-Y6E35HGWqdps_X5SnfAOqkknvI)Iwanted to try and do something largely within a day, and take a small break from Sub Story (post for that coming sometime soon-ish), so I wanted t...

DOODLIN' TIME - "The CHARGE!"

I'm on my Catscratch fixation, and I can't stop, so I'm drawin' one of my fav episodes: "Charge!"I gotta develop the background, which will be the Soda King store they go to, with root beer cans flying about.It was interesting how much the episode weighs down on Blik, focusing on his lust for power-- so I might do a sister piece for this where he's forlorn in the biodom...

PERSONAL UPDATES - Shifting focus...

Gonna keep it brief, it's not too complex-- I'm wanting to focus on three bigger projects: The next VI THE IMP Bit, continuing the Pokémon Bits for their story, and a Pikmin animatic project that'll follow up "Notch's First Expedition", so I'm gonna be pausing the bi-weekly schedule indefinitely, as well as the Wednesday comic schedule.That said, stuff's still gonn...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - Ruby's Cupcakes (FINISHED!)

(THIS ONE'S DONE!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/GEM2wTAD#mxfR8AFBtvH4MydijaxsdTVBmsDk-FiqBuHDeiY4HSs)I'm gonna be doing some shorter animations for a while, since I may be abandoning the bi-weekly scheduling.Initially, it was supposed to be Ruby trying to introduce herself before the camera died and rolls into a tombstone. She was in her casual outfit, but then I decided to make it about her p...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - PINGAS Tower

(EDIT: This one's all done! It's set to upload this Saturday.LINK: https://mega.nz/file/3IUAnSZC#M2U6Jx5rV2bx2fWRHmkzx7k9zf2F0h0Gank4ZnEvgDUPurple_LaDD gifted me Pizza Tower, BIG shout outs to him, and... it's like, the best game in history. Mankind's greatest achievement since Pikmin!I'm currently at the last world, and just beat the animatronic level.After I first played, I i...

DOODLIN' TIME - Carmen Bellatrix Redesign

I gave Carmen something of a stylistic-touch up the other night. I wanted to make her look more frenzied, and have some sort of goggles on. To make her further mirror a more successful Keaton, I also had the goggles be black with bright pupils (probably x-rays, because she doesn't trust anyone but Ruby)"I built this out of a car some sucker left double-parked at a Menards. I don't thin...

QUEEN MAPLE - Reef Clutcher (Still in Progress)

For this Wednesday slot, I'm doing a Maple comic. Part 1 is this Wednesday, and Part 2 is the next Wednesday.Gave her a slight redesign to be fluffier and easier to draw!Heavily based on Elh from the files of Luigi's Mansion. I'm likely gonna add two more arms up top for a page layout idea on page 3.This page is actually not done yet, because my stylus refuses to charge, which could be...

Vi the Imp - "Whisking the War Zone" (FINISHED)

(EDIT: This part has been FINISHED, so next up is a birthday Pikmin Bit.I'm hoping to follow up on this short, and do a continuation, and keep a story going for about 7 minutes-- so it'll be a 7 minute cartoon by the time we're done with all parts. In the meantime...LINK: https://mega.nz/file/SEFzmLbA#Gmqln9DsgWi5wV9rn-fpEHwshYbgx57UKqJicCfk-lI)This one started when making a different ...

HORRID HISTORIES - The Vi the Imp Development

Vi was essentially the result of adding Karolyn to a Miitopia playthrough. The team was Keaton, Basil, Karolyn and then Ruby, and Karolyn was chosen to be the Imp class. I loved how it made her look even more like a horribly uncouth gremlin, but I didn’t want to change Karolyn, so I made it a separate character. A lot of sketches were made with her being more on the psychotic side like Karolyn, ...

KEATON'S CRYPTID SAFARI - "The Pangolin" (WIP)

CRYPTID WHAT?Cryptid Safariis something of a pet-project of mine for nearly a decade now, so with this weekly Wednesday comic self-deal, I think this is a good time to shake it a little. Two endangered species unite with other endangered species and attempt preservation, so long as nobody's... hostile. Keaton and Jackson are the stars of the show, and they began a documentary-style show about ...

DOODLIN' TIME - Queen Maple and the Shadow Gnashers

Shadow Gnashers are infamous for stalking their prey through shadows, feasting on their very mass in order to solidify their form. A spine-chilling cold heralds their arrival, followed by an overwhelming drowsiness, rendering the prey more defenseless. With each victim consumed, these creatures grow more tangible, evolving into increasingly menacing forms.Queen Maple can take 'um, no sweat.I n...

PRODUCTION JOURNAL - "Nectar Knocker" (COMPLETE)

(THIS BIT IS HEREBY FINISHED!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/jR9CAAyD#IpJlrhAHaZnpGs54HifsX9unAXcmtTDGre_Q6Q_jFDo)(ORIGINALLY STARTED ON 7 15 2024)This idea's from FanofCulture96. He mentioned something with Krik scaling a cactus for some nectar on top, and we built from there.Taking inspiration from Wander Over Yonder's "The Breakfast", it became a spiky tree.This was the first thing d...

DOODLIN' TIME - "Mirror Talk"

Just human things. So this was something I wanted to do because I felt like everyone knows this feeling, it haunts me alot, it's blunt, and made hideous. Just as I like.I was up 'til after 5 AM doodlin' the initial guides for this, since I knew I'd just have racing ideas if I tried to sleep.So this shot was originally gonna follow the Duckman logic of the glasses being the eyes, bu...

DOODLIN' TIME - "The Open Mic"

There's no elaborate punchline, gag or nothin', I really just wanted to draw Evelyn.It was gonna show Evelyn doing insanely different things to insinuate how crazy the song is, but I wasn't sure how clear that'd be.I looked at the Rocko's Modern Life episode "The Lounge Singer" for the background.Looks almost like a comic cover. If I was gooder at making sense, I'd ...

BIG-ISH JULY REBRAND

So for over a year, Karolyn alone has been the mascot for my accounts, and while she's still gonna be the primary face, I figured it was time to get a bit more blunt. So she's got two pals to help the accounts.CAROLYN WITH A 'C'This is a caricature of what I, the animator, look like. This is Carolyn, with a C.I have a lot more of those little marks on my arms and legs, but they loo...

DOODLIN' TIME - "12K FOLLOWERS ON TWITTER"

Woke up and did this immediately.I also had to edit out the text of the original title card credits from the show, and widen it. This way, I can cheekily chuck in the supporter names.Man, and to think I thought it was ridiculous when I first made it to 1K a year back...Yous guys rock.~KARO '24

VI THE IMP BIBLE (OLDER DRAFT)

This is a wild cartoon about a workaholic little woman with heart-shaped horns, pin-pointing ears, and glasses as wide as her heart. She lives in Entrail Arms Apts with a spider named Sammy, and she works as a prac reaper where she's overcoming her handicap of being way too adorable for reaper work. This is a warped world of black and white, where anything can be set-- a horrendous cataclysm a...

DOODLIN' TIME - "All About Blik"

Catscratch is having an anniversary on July 9th, so I wanna have something prepared for that.I wanna make Catscratch something of a mainstay on my accounts, since there's a distinct lack of it in the public consciousness. In a landscape where it's all about whining about the influx of poor quality cartoons made to purposely anger the audience, it is time to appreciate other cartoons that a...

DOODLIN' TIME - "Divine Entwine"

I haven't introduced the angel girl here yet. So here's a preview:Her name's Reina, and I'd like to say more about her in the planned Pitch Bible post. I'll just say she saw Vi decapitate a whole group of folks in white hoodies, and something awoke in her.Not a canonical piece, I was just in a moodand also wanted to have at least something for Pride Month. I'll probably hav...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - "Grubba's Origin" [ANIMATIC] (STILL UPDATING)

(LINK: https://mega.nz/file/3Y9y0abb#NYrnr4lwEKTZNLS2iAom7B_kjz708gSZO8DrWPt6nSU)Boy, it's been a bit since I've sunk my fangs into an animatic.So this was entirely based on when a friend changed their name and PFP to Jolene from The Thousand-Year Door, so I reacted by getting a bunch of photos of Grubba, and "flirting" with him. We had sort of a role-play and scummy Grubba was mak...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - "Nine to Five Feet Under" (FINISHED)

(EDIT: This one's ALL DONE!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/jJM2jS7K#1BPAa39XgGkqt4HAfM2VEiEX9tbNNrOwr3C2jAUv1g0)The previous Vi Bit I was working on is shelved. I wanna start with something that can mirror itself better to Vi's job, so I'm gonna have this take place in a human workplace, so it can be compared to an imp's job.So, one thing with the previous Bit was that it looked too sim...

DOODLIN' TIME - "MAPLE in the Vine Room" (COMPLETED)

I was listening to Vinesauce Vinny playing The Classrooms, and loved the idea of this horrendous beast who follows sounds only. I kept thinking of Maple having to keep a noisy cat-thing from being consumed by one, but it has the loudest meow that keeps alerting it. I'm too swamped to turn this into a full short, but damn I want to. But alas, 40 hours of my week are spent outside... the natural...

BEHIND THE SCENES - "Breadbug Bowling"

This was the first Pikmin Bit to feature Captain Karolyn's new design with the nose and the ears. I wanted her to still translate well into a Pikmin character even for unknowing audiences.This Bit was one of the most cartoony, because I wanted to get more loose with what I was doing, which leads to Breadbugs transforming into bowling balls and getting hit so much that they form into pins.First...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - "Gengar's Shadowplay" (FINISHED)

PATREON PORTRAIT MASTER POST

(START - 5 28 2024)Got some new people in with a lotta friendly faces!This is from Hovan, and ho MAN, she's a babe! I like the frilly clothing and the very huge hair. I'd be up to learn anything if she's studyin' with me.This one's from Nathy, and I've actually drawn this sweetheart before. I did commissions on Ko-fi some months back as celebration for a milestone at the ti...

PRODUCTION JOURNAL - "Cannon Larva Carnage" (FINISHED)

(EDIT: This Bit is hereby COMPLETE!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/PcNygLSL#f09Xdb-D3qL7ZjamvvOyMUqUBmG-ZL1SrrC9LDiTO8cEDIT, AGAIN: To streamline it a little before the official release Saturday at 10AM, I trimmed some of the Bit, and re-edited the music tracks. "Grubchucker Mother-Plucker" performed pretty poorly, most people didn't know what to feel or what was happening, so I tried to us...

PRODUCTION JOURNALS - "Grubchucker Mother-Plucker" (FINISHED)

(EDIT: This Bit is hereby COMPLETE!LINK: https://mega.nz/file/fc8QWIZS#B_0Pz_qEW1LvAYRGUSzOB2ojUC17KLiONUR9XyDRbSY)(START - 5 17 2024)This story concept won the first poll! I'll have to add that as an end tag note for when this one releases.First off, I needed to doodle out how I'd stylize the Grubchucker. And the boxin' Blue, why not.I like how they turned out, and I kinda wanna do mo...

PATREON PORTRAITS - 5 12 2024

Got a buncha good characters from new supporters!This is an OC by Korzanium. I dug this one, since it looks like a Bubble from OOT/MM, but ready to talk BUSINESS. I can see him being voiced by Wayne Knight with a reverb.This is an OC by Purple_LaDD, named Jade. The ref sent was from their early days of drawing, so some interpretation was made. I'd say it turned out quite cute, and any reason t...
