Dirt Eclipse (Patreon)

Hello wonderful people, and happy new year!!! Thank you for your support this past year, and now this year!

I'm excited for all the rat-related business we'll be getting up to in 2026, but first here's a paper animation to kick things off, of the sun falling into a burrow.

Whenever one of these paper animations involves colouring in large areas of the paper black, I end up destroying a bunch of black markers. For this one, it was actually handy having all those previously destroyed markers still sitting on my desk, to do the light-to-dark transition frames. I could get varying levels of grey by switching between a used-up white board marker, fabric marker and calligraphy pen.

If you're a Pen Pal, one of these frames will be sent off to you today.
