Thought I’d share some of these quick concept sketches I did yesterday, and a sneak peek of the plot for episode 2 👀 👀 👀

Skip this post / section if you want to be fully surprised for episode 2, but I'm also not giving away any major spoilers:

The Star Defender reclaimer squad is sent to locate a rogue company from the Coagulator legion that stole forbidden cargo, but when they hail their ship, they discover the guilty Coagulators have crash landed on an alien planet. The squad is dispatched to locate the cargo and any survivors - but quickly find the ship has been infested with giant alien termites that suck all your organs out your butthole (globules included).

Regarding the concept art:

The bug drawings are some very early iterations and very WIP. We're looking to capture a really specific horror vibe of them swarming you get with that rolly-polly dome like style of bugs. Some inspirations we've been taking include the termite war in Antz, The locusts turning that dude into a skeleton in The Mummy, or the Ohmu in Nausicaä

As for the ship, I'm not sure we'll actually include that shot, but a foundational idea for the episode and many of the jokes was the image of a derelict, colossal legion ship crashed in a red wasteland the squad has to enter, like stepping into the belly of a whale. I'd first been remembering "The Maw" level of Halo:CE, when you see what became of the Pillar of Autumn after playing the rest of the game. The environment and vibe was such an awesome, brooding contrast against all the forests and life in the game that came before it

OTHER UPDATES:

MERCH - many have been asking whats going on with the hoodies and t-shirts. They're now nearing the end of development with the custom material being loomed and the prototypes getting very close to approval. Again, these were fully custom garments we've had tailor made literally from scratch, and have been receiving and giving notes on prototypes to ensure they're exactly how we envisioned them and not standard print on demand garbage. The preorder process enabled us to do this and we're fucking stoked to start sending them out soon! Tom has been the greedy recipient of the prototypes so far, and you may have noticed him wearing the hoodie in a couple recent episodes of Cream Crew.

SPACE KING STLs! - I'd hoped to create a much more robust set, but the process has hit a major delay, so I'll share what we've got later this week, and work on getting an update on when we'll have the full set for you! This first set will include parts to make standard psychoknights with psycho blasters, and parts to make Captain! I'd eventually like the full set to include the rest of the reclaimer squad with their special weapons etc

CARTOONS - We're anticipating Bluey vs Furries releasing if not this weekend than in 1 week! It's needed some more time in the oven to be a worthy addition to the series. We're also deep in production on a very stupid Linus Tech Tips cartoon 👀

Stay tuned for more cool shit over the next few days 🙏
