Vestis Virum Facit
A little Patron piece! Some of you might have seen me cleaning it up in a recent livestream.
Friday Night Work + Games Stream
Hey all,The crew is streaming some animation work tonight (Friday, June 3rd), followed by a little game time to unwind. We'll probably be hopping into the Lackadaisy Minecraft server, in fact!If you feel like joining us, chatting or just watching, you can find us live on YouTube starting at 6:30pm Central Time (7:30pm EDT / 4:30pm PDT)
Coming Soon! (+ Print Store Updates)
Part of a t-shirt design, with art by Al "Squidders" Pullen. You might recognize it's somewhat based on this picture. Fable suggested that might make a workable shirt graphic. The plan is for this to be an all-over print as opposed to just a shirt-front sort of thing. With any luck - once we hammer out the print logistics - it'll be available soon!-------------------------Also, there are some new prints in the Store! Newt and I bo...
Impasto Sunshine
When the world is on fire...paint something pathologically cheerful?Really, this is just a little thank you image for the 1 million+ views on the dancing Ivy video we had posted to YouTube. It's not a lot in the scheme of the platform, I know, but it's a notable milestone for our scrappy crew! We more or less started building the YT channel from scratch at the start of the project with the hope of giving the film a solid foundation to eve...
Patron Stream Schedule
Hey all,The next Patron-only stream will be this Sunday, May 29th, starting at 6pm CDT (7pm EDT / 4pm PDT) on my Twitch Channel.I'll likely be working on Patron art, a little picture of Ivy for a special project milestone we reached, and I'll try to fit some requests in from the chat as well. Looks like Fable, Newt, Nox and possibly some other crew will be joining too! Bring any animation, art and comics questions you might have with you ...
Spotlight
A little look at some recent progress. Beyond just making the characters move, the animation team also animates the way light maps onto the characters. At points it's a bit more complex than just rim light. The comp team steps in to make it glow.The GIF compression is extra crunchy here and may be hard to view if you're using the Patreon mobile app, but you can find the rendered video version here.-----------------Animation and Comp by:Fa...
Delver's Guide Art: Varasta
Some character design/artwork I did recently for The Delver's Guide to the Beast World RPG. I don't believe they've revealed this character yet, so it remains Patron-eyes only for now, but I thought I'd share some of the concept process that went into it too as I hashed out design and color palette with the game's producers. Varasta is a deity of nature and chance. Naturally, he's got a gambling habit. Also, he's kind ...
Lackadaisy Pitch Packet
So, I thought this might be of some interest to anyone here who's busy fleshing out an idea of similar type or proportion. And for anyone else, perhaps it'll serve as a little project-forensics curio - the pitch packet Fable Siegel, Ashley Green and I put together before we wound up doing our own filmmaking, via Iron Circus.The images above are scattered bits of it, but you can download the sequenced PDF attached to the post. That's t...
Friday Night Work + Games Stream
Hey all,We'll be streaming some animation work and chatting up the chat tonight, Friday, the 13th, starting at about 6:30pm Central (7:30pm EDT / 4:30pm PDT) on the YouTube Channel.We'll probably wrap up the evening with some game time too! If you're in the mood, I hope we'll catch you there!
Serafine
I don't know. Monday morning business meeting.(Included the b+w no frills version too. Ink and halftone is not my typical approach to character rendering, but it feels good to try different things now and then.)
Drawbles
Some recent things!
Lackachat - Anniversary Stream!
Hey everyone,Saturday is the 5th anniversary of the Lackadaisy Discord, and the crew would be remiss not use that as an excuse to goof around and play some games with you all!Among other things, we'll be playing Gartic (Garlic) Phone, sharing some thematic culinary creations from the Lackacord, doing a ~big mystery reveal~, and we'll have a Magma canvas up and running for anyone who wants to do some group drawing, so....I hope you'll ...
Patron Livestream Schedule
Hello all,The next Patron-only stream will be this Thursday, April 28th, starting at 6pm CDT (7pm EDT / 4pm PDT) at my Twitch Channel.I'll likely be working on some Patron art and I'll try to squeeze in some requests again this time too! I'll likely be joined by some guests from the animation crew as well, so please feel free to bring art process, comics and animation questions along if you have them.As always, I hope I'll see you...
Film Progress - Spring 2022
Just a little look at what's going on back here lately.

Rubberhose Test
If you've seen some of the stuff going on in Friday streams lately, this is (roughly) where it's been heading. This is still very much a work in progress - kind of a jumble of moving parts right now, especially without the music present and a fair bit of timing adjustments left to do - but the intent is hopefully apparent! (Included part of the concept piece for reference.)Rough animation by Fable and IceArtz
Fleece Collar Freckle
A recent piece.
Enamel Pins - 3D Turntable
I've mentioned already that we're in the process of producing some enamel pins. Newt took the extra steps to 3d model a couple of the designs so we could better visualize them!
Friday Night Animation Stream
Hey all,We're streaming some work time and doing some live chatting with the audience this fine evening. If you'd like to join us, you can find us here on YouTube for the next few hours!
Deep Thoughts
A Patron request that veered off into some kind of meta-allegory for how I sat down to finish my tax filing, but this happened instead.
Patron Livestream Schedule
Hey everyone,The next Patron livestream will be this Thursday, March 31st, starting at 5pm CDT (6pm EDT / 3pm PDT), on my Twitch Channel.I'll be working on some Patron art, and possibly I'll squeeze in a request or two from the chat, if anyone's interested in that! Some guests are liable to drop in too.As always, I hope I'll see you there!
Comp WIPs
**EDIT: Here's the mp4 version, in case you are having difficulty viewing this here! (It's a better quality anyway. I wish Patreon would hurry up and reimplement direct video uploads.)-----------------Comp is still a work in progress, including on these particular scenes, but it's starting to look like a film, I think?This is pretty large as GIFs go, so if anyone has trouble viewing it, let me know. I can make it available as an MP4 e...
Friday Night Stream
Hey all,We're hosting a chat + animation stream tonight. Maybe we'll find a game to play later too.Join us here on YT!
Gangster Hideout
Just kept thinking about this short video.(Link is gfycat via Reddit. I've been trying to find the original poster, but haven't had any luck.)
Draw'ns
A few recent Patron things (from an alternate reality where someone allowed Rocky to fly a plane).
Smooth Criminals
Fable recently shared a still image from this composited scene on social media, so I figured I'd show you all the animated clip version!Animation and cleanup by Starapture.Compositing by Nicholas PflugAlso, as a side note, bookplates have arrived! These are for the Lackadaisy Essentials art book, but I did order extra for Patrons. (I just need to figure out how to work them into pledge tiers now.)
