:allears: The final product is so good! Kinda sucks that they paywall features in ToonBoom but everybody does that now.

I really like the construction paper backgrounds, which gives it a nice textured, handmade feel and kinda looks like stucco walls. It’s definitely worth experimenting with more background ideas in future shorts.

also I’m helping :-I

Yeah, been playing around with the BGs!

Bought some markers, so we'll see how that plays out for inking in future shorts.

Starting work on the 2nd short!

Also wanna mention that I posted the complete storyboards on Patreon! :party:

Plugging because I'm hoping to hire animators to work on the 2nd short and I need to, you know, pay them. :-I

I've been sharing behind-the-scenes stuff for my next short, "Charlie the Human", on my Patreon, but here's a sneak peek for everyone else.

So "Fuzzy Princess" is turning 5 next year. That would be a REALLY good opportunity to make a short to commemorate that :ponder:

"Ask a Cat" is now an anime! Or rather, it has been dubbed to Japanese.

Also, I realized that Mouse is listed as "Mousie" (マウジー) in the Japanese credits because that's what Cat calls him in the short

So "Mousie" is now his official Japanese name :-I

So I'm pretty much done with the animatic for my next cartoon, "Kat and Cat". This is a crossover between "Ask a Cat" and "The Fuzzy Princess" where Cat gives his thoughts on the princess herself. Felicia, Chiro, and Kuma also make brief appearances.

I'm gonna work with another animator on this one, the first time I'm doing this.

Here's something that's gonna appear in the short (I've since updated the animation to have Kat's eyes flicker as well):

He really handles my characters well, even improving some things and giving me ideas for how to animate these characters in the future. He animated a bunch of shots already and I'm loving them :yay:

My co-animator finished animating all of his scenes, and I only have a couple shots left to animate myself.

I should have it released before Halloween if possible! :party:

I'm hoping to produce a Fuzzy Princess pilot in 2021, so I'm trying to save up for it. If anyone want to chip in to my Patreon, I'd appreciate it! :party:

Doing a rather impromptu animation I'm hoping I can finish in a month for Valentine's Day.
