Story #5 boarding is done. Animation begins today! (Patreon)

This is an update post on how the current animation (Gildedguy Story #5) is going. Here is some basic info on the project:

• Working Title: Cowboy Animation/Gildedguy Story #5
• Estimated Length: 7-8 Minutes
• Estimated Release: January 2019
• Feature Song: "Jesse James" by Clay Walker
• Premise: Gildedguy ventures into the shallows of society, and is haunted by a green-eyed menace lurking in plain sight.

Storyboarding is done (basically)

The initial planning phase (storyboarding) is essentially done. The reason I am not saying 100% done is because I am leaving the ending scenes un-boarded in case a better ending presents itself over the next couple months.

That being said, the story's scene-by-scene skeleton is in place, and ready to be rendered into fluid animation!

After a year of mostly writing, coding, and illustration, I am very eager to get back into animation, and see if my skills have improved. If they have, maybe release will fall within this year instead of 2019. Who knows.

A Western?

Not really, since the setting takes place in a small town a few miles from Gildedguy's house. You know, that same town he is always looking at from atop the hill.

We will be able to enjoy an energetic country song this time though. We will have Gildedguy dressed up as a cowboy. There will be fighting, glamour, and references to the world of web animation (in and out of the stick community).

Most of all, it will just be "a lot of fun" to watch. 

That exact phrase has been ringing in my head each time I listen to the main backing track for this animation. I want it to be entertaining. 

Starting today, I will be beginning the animation phase, so tune in at https://www.twitch.tv/gildedguy if you want to follow along!
