FLASHGITZ FRIDAY (Patreon)

Brothers! Welcome to another Flashgitz Friday!  How have you all been holding up with your new merch? I know I’ve sat on my Hatemace keychain a few times. One time it even happened by accident.

We’re still making really good progress with Episode 3. A few things have been pushed around the schedule a bit while we prioritize some departments (assets are taking all the attention away from finishing the animatic), but we’re still making great progress.

This week has been spent cooking up more items for Space King episode 3. The different departments have been drawing until their arms fall off like diligent little elves in Santa’s workshop.

I just know they’re excited for you all to see what they’ve prepared! LET’S DIG IN

 The different departments arriving to present their contributions to Flashgitz Friday

This Flashgitz Friday gives me another chance to show off some of the design process! 

Don’t worry, there will still be pretty pictures. 

We had to design a book that appears in episode 3, but it was a bit more involved than just a throwaway prop. For those of you in the book fandom, you might know that most books open, close, and some even have pages in them. This had to be reflected in the designs because the book opens and characters read it. SO, this involved designing the books and several pages on the inside. You still following me? Books. Pages. 

Different designs for a book on.. Uh.. NOT exotic force-fields.

Different color tests for the same book. Different stains, tattered edges, sticky pages, the works.

The book’s design was decided, then the different angles were drawn to be rigged.

Now we get to the inside of the book, which, in this iteration of sketches, include tasteful doodles. Squint your eyes and look at the funny pictures!

Some more lore-pertinent pages. What’s the lore? Wouldn’t you like to know!

The final batch of pages from the book! Funny mazes and pictures to color.

Phew. That was a lot of book stuff. 

The rest of the departments have been hard at work as well. I have a few VFX and backgrounds that I’d love to show you kittens.

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

Our VFX lead came up with some sweet dynamic effects for the movement in this AIDS bomb. 

VFX is a difficult department to show off. They make so much cool stuff all the time, but alas! A lot of it is ripe with spoilers, and shucks, I’d really hate to spoil you guys too much. So let’s just stick with a few a week. You guys already got that one sweet shot of the ships warping in at the beginning. 

Backgrounds have been sketching out some scenes from the next part of the episode, so let’s take a look over there!

The boys’ gamer setups. Who out of the squad do you think is a dps, tank, and support?

The hallway where the squad hangs out before between xenocide classes.

A little peeky-poo at one of the gentlemen we designed earlier, but from afar.

Well gang, we went through a lot today! I hope you all got what you came for, meaning I hope that was enough to stave off the hordes of hungry patrons this week. Thank you Brothers and Greedy Brothers for all the support you’ve given us! NOW ONTO THE FANART!!!
