Animation preview! and some news… (Patreon)

Hey everyone! 🪄⭐️

Sorry it’s been quiet, I’ve been taking a little time to see my family as well as planning a very cool project…I’m FINALLY getting together a kickstarter for a second deck of item cards. The Puzzle/traps book is still in progress, I just like to jump between projects at times.

For all of you who have been following for a while, you’ll be seeing a lot of familiar cards as I’ve mostly been sharing them on here! (Thanks for your support as always, you’re AWESOME.)

I’ll be approaching things a little differently than the last time in regards to the kickstarter. The cards will be released as a downloadable pdf first. I’ll need time to figure out how best to print and ship the physical decks as a lot of money will be involved in that and I want to make sure i do it right. Shipping things, especially to the US is a little crazy atm with tariffs and rising prices 💀

I also wanted to do a little animation like I did the last time, but for this I wanted to make it hand-drawn. I’ve done a little of this kind of animation before but wanted to take the time to explore it some more.

A little background scenery (Its a little too dark, will change that I think!)

The animation will feature a return of my character the green wizard - back from his long adventures since the first deck of items. He’ll have a bag full of all the new wonderous items which I’ll animate him showing how they work.

It’s been really cool doing this! I’ll share more as i finish more of the scenes, it does take a bit of time but thankfully I’ve learnt how to do it now. Having worked in the animation industry a little, I know it’s rare to get the opportunity to create an animation without the influence of some marketing team or corporate client breathing down your neck.

So, I want to make it fun, exciting and full of love and magic!

Early roughs - Sometimes, it’s best to just make it exist first! You can polish it later

Anyway, let me know what you think! What items would you like to see featured in the animation??

Chat soon,
