Over on my Patreon I just posted a big digital artbook covering the most recent handful of Sublo episodes - S3E4 Shopping, S3E5 Catering and the SubparGeekGirl96 minis. It's got thumbnails, character design process work, backgrounds, a bunch of promo illustrations and more.

You can find it here ...and here are a few sample pages!

Finally the Sublo and Tangy Mustard soundtrack is out! Some tracks were already on Soundcloud and Newgrounds, but now for the first time you can listen to them on Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube! There's also an EXPANDED EDITION on Bandcamp and my Patreon with 130 tracks, which includes pretty much every piece of music used in the show so far along with demos, alternate versions and unused cues:

SubparGeekGirl96 records a quick update in the middle of a hot date with a certain Hungry Submarine. (this has been on the Patreon for a while but I was holding off on making it public till I was closer to finishing the next main Sublo and Tangy Mustard episode)

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the first Sublo and Tangy Mustard episode! Seemed like a good time to finally set up an online shop where you can get the behind-the-scenes SUBLO AND TANGY MUSTARD PRODUCTION NOTES zine. There are also a couple of little extra ones for super-nerds like me who want to look through frame-by-frame animation drawings and background line art. Anyway go check them out!

scribbly walk cycle trudging through snow. music is "Pitch Black Night" from my album Life Time

I made a bunch of music, it's like weird electronic and guitar stuff with a bunch of samples and dumb noises. I've been told some of it feels kind of video gamey and some is more ambient Brian Eno-esque. you can find it on my bandcamp or on my youtube. I hope you like it?!

A few WIP frames from the next Sublo and Tangy Mustard episode (it's called Catering). I also posted a little clip on my Patreon!

New Patreon video - listen to me ramble as I poke around my animation files and share some techniques I'm using for driving scenes in the next Sublo and Tangy Mustard episode. Whole thing is about twelve minutes.

Some colour keys for upcoming Sublo and Tangy Mustard - this part is really fun, it's like digital finger painting. A thing I love about indie production is never having to sell an executive on anything, or reassure them it'll come together by making each step 'presentable'. My storyboards can be scribbles, the colour keys can be blobs. I can trust the process. (There's a little more on my Patreon, as always)
