Next project:...... (Patreon)

This is a quick post to let you know that my next project will be Pleasure Island: Final Climax.

Originally Pleasure Island 5 and 6 were 1 cartoon, but it would have been 7 minutes long so I split it into 2.  As a result Pleasure Island 5 did not contain much of a payoff and wasn't very satisfying for viewers.  I intended to animate the second half within 6 months but here we are 5 years later.  ( Several years ago I promised myself that I wouldn't do that again!  And haven't yet. )

Finishing this will complete the saga and I feel will clear the air for more things to happen in Fernando and Gooseman's world.  

This will reveal the events after Fernando is devoured by the giant squid.  It's going to be hard to post updates about it without spoiling it btw.  Also this cartoon will spit in the face of established narrative structure.  

One of the cool things about doing a series over 12 years is that the style changes from episode to episode.  In retrospect I think my style took a wrong turn in 2014-2015.  I over designed characters, gave them too many highlights and shadows, coloured outlines etc.  It took long to animate them.  I've shaken it up a bit recently and my style more closely resembles Pleasure Island 2 era than any of the others (dark outlines, more FBF, v little tweening.  But I've learned a thing or two since then).

I've got 4 weeks of Bluey left (It was 3 but now it's 4 but that's definitely it).  Then it's full time pleasure island baby oooh yeeeehhh!!!
