Onions test footage!

Looks like we got the camera settings sorted out.

Character Designs

These are my new character designs for The Overlord which I did, working from the awesome concept sketches done by Micro Chen.

The Overlord - The Animated Webseries

I launched the crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo today! What's that mean?

It means I'm going to make the Overlord as an animated webseries, one episode at a time. I want to pay the people involved for their talents, so there's going to be some money involved. I will be posting tidbits as they come together, designs and artwork and so on, but not on this blog; I have another blog that is completely devoted to The Overlord, called THE DEPARTMENT OF SUPREMACY

When I started the play in the Fringe Fest back in 2009, I kind of just started doing it and it snowballed as people got excited about it and it started to gain enough momentum that I no longer had to keep pushing it, I just steered it. Hopefully that's what will happen this time as well...!

harder better faster stronger

So I'm drawing a lot - every day I pretty much draw as much as I can. It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer goes to hell and the devil straps him to a machine that force-feeds him donuts, expecting it to be a torture, but Homer loves it. My hand gets sore sometimes, but I never get bored of drawing the same characters over and over again, and I am always learning and looking for ways of improving.

My own projects are coming along well. When my pal Siloën gets back from TIFF we'll start shooting our stop-motion short 'Onions', which is shaping up to be pretty sweet. I've started looking at crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo for The Overlord Animated Webseries. There's some encouraging success stories coming from the crowdfunding scene.

The Overlord Music is finished, and we'll be putting it up on iTunes soon...
