Sublo and Tangy Mustard Production Report (Patreon)

Hello friends!

It's been a while since I gave a progress update on Patreon, so here's a detailed report on where things stand with my Sublo and Tangy Mustard cartoons.

The next episode (#13) is a big one, maybe the most ambitious yet? I don't know. Anyway I'm almost done it, finally! I generally try not to push myself too hard making these shorts but I'm in the home stretch now, so I'm sprinting. I'm very close to completing the animation-- only 2 small shots left! Yesterday I did something crazy like 8 walk cycles for background characters (along with a bunch of other animation).

The backgrounds are drawn and have colour flats, but are waiting for painting/texturing in Photoshop. That'll be my next focus once the animation is done. The music has been composed and partly recorded. There's also some minor compositing work needed for the effects in one sequence.

I've received a lot of fun submissions for the collaborative sequence where I invited guest artists to participate. If you haven't seen it on my social media accounts, there's still time to submit something! I've attached the guidelines for submissions. The deadline for it is August 10.

Due to the number of submissions I've received, there isn't time in the scene to fully showcase all of them, so I'm planning to make a separate compilation video to give each one the spotlight they all deserve.

After this episode comes out, I still have two more written, recorded and storyboarded for this production batch. Once those are done I'll probably take a short break to recharge, and then I'd like to do more Sublo and Tangy Mustard episodes, either on my own or maybe I'll try pitching the series. At some point I still want to do more with my Fester Fish character as well, and also start a brand new project... Lots of different possibilities! Anyway first I have to finish this episode. Look out for it soon!

Thanks so much for your continued support! I hope when the episode is done it's worth the wait!
