Raw Latex 4 is...like...90% there.  If all goes well I'm aiming for Nov 7-10 ish.  Perhaps a bit sooner.  I'm still missing some voices and need to figure out what to do with music but I've done almost everything else.

I've tried to keep the art style consistent, but I re-watched the first three and what I've done of this one to get a sense of how they fit together and there is certainly a difference between the first episode, which came out May 2013 but which I started way back in September 2012, and the fourth episode.  Four years!  When I finish episode 5 I'd like to compile them together into one cartoon, hopefully it works.

I've been poking and prodding the song I've posted about before, A Sensual Encounter, but I don't think I'll make it my next project at this stage.  I need to know I can actually make the song work before going further with it and at the moment it doesn't.

So, for my next project, I was thinking of making My Mother in Law is a Scorpion.  This idea started as one of Captain Drake's tunes back in early 2013.  I've since written a whole song for it, and unlike with A Sensual Encounter, I'm confident I can make it work.  I will use my self insertion character as the singer (the same guy who sings Calloused Hands and Final Form) rather than Captain Drake.

Some time in the next 12 months, I'd like to make Raw Latex 5, which will finish the series.  I'd also like to make A Sensual Encounter, and perhaps a few more music videos as I've found I'm really enjoying getting back into them after a few years off and the two I've made so far have gone down well.  I'd also like to make Fernando and Orb of Gaia, but I haven't decided if that's wise yet as it is a biiig project (3 episodes, plenty of action).  I feel like I'll gain some legitimacy with regards to starting a new series if I can finish Raw Latex.

Had to go a re-watch the whole series. Can't wait. Also I have nothing of value to contribute.

Oh man, I can't wait for the full version of My Mother In Law Is a Scorpion. (Not a sentence I thought I'd ever say.)

There's a couple of parts I wouldn't mind changing but overall I'm proud of the series.

I can't wait to lovingly paint the gleaming carapace of an adult female scorpion...but perhaps I've said too much.

Will we ever see more of Captain Drake in story form? That series was the source of dozens of in-jokes for my friends. I'd also love to see a cartoon exploring the Manny-Gooseman-Fernando dynamic a bit more! I only recently discovered your original cartoons on Newground; it felt kind of jarring to discover those additions to your erogenous, scattered pseudo-canon. I'm super pumped for the next Raw Latex though! Sad to see that it'll only last five episodes, but you know how to make your running time count!

The way Raw Latex will end will leave it open for future adventures. I want to be more careful with starting series in the future than I have been in the past though. If I had a good idea for more or if Jon wrote more material for it, I'd consider continuing it, as I think it's a good concept with interesting characters and a story world ripe for exploration, even if it is a massive pokemon rip off. To answer your first question: No, I severely doubt I'll be animating any more of SALQ. Machinima owns it, so I'd need their permission, and they'd own what I made. They did try to sell a new series of it last year, but if they got any interest I didn't hear about it. I've pretty much retired Manny, but Gooseman and Fernando will certainly return.

I don't really see the need to change from Captain Drake for that glorious song. He is a complex and multi-layered character we would all benefit from seeing more of. His familial relations are a good place to start.

SexuaLobster

Part of the deal with the Space show was that Machinima owns all the intellectual property. My understanding is that I'd need to ask for permission to use any of the characters, and if I didn't it would be like me making a DBZ parody - I wouldn't truly own what I made.

In short, we need to bug Machinima to send you massive piles of money then for more SALQ ;)

@RollBear I dunno, I like both of the Captain Drake songs, but I think only 2 of the 7 episodes are really any good (#5 and #7). The others were too constrained by the need to make it fast and the lack of sparkling material. It did have 12 planned episodes though so if they wanted me to finish it I've got 5 scripts of mediocre quality ready to go.

I cannot wait to see how "blonde boy" fares in the latest Latex installment. I'm asking questions to myself. I wonder if there's a Giovanni big baddie leading these dudes or if there's more strategically places phalluses. I'm really digging the Pokemon references, I hope there's more of that, too!

SexuaLobster

One of your predictions is shrewd! I probably shouldn't spoil it so I won't say whether it's the big boss or more phalluses.
