Three & Half Step

Three & Half Step

Wow, it’s already August. I’ve roughed out 140 pages so far and I’m ~61% through the script. Not too bad… I think I could’ve gotten a bit more done, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed around the 50% mark and took a short break to recharge. I’m getting closer and closer to the last […]

Trailer Post-Mortem

I’m so relieved this trailer is done. I did NOT expect it to take so long to finish. Back in May I was starting to get a little fatigued from all the designing I was doing. Since most of the character designs were nailed down, I figured I’d put them to the test. What followed […]

Detour

Detour

So I got a little sidetracked from designs and decided to make a trailer. It’s about 80% done. I’m going on vacation soon so I’ll have to finish it when I get back. Until then…
