FLASHGITZ FRIDAY 10/3 (Patreon)

Brothers! Welcome to Flashgitz Friday, our weekly segment where we keep you up-to-date on everything we’re working on over here at Flashgitz headquarters! 

If you’re a new Brother that’s just joined after watching Space King 3, WELCOME! Come on in and take a seat because we got a big day ahead of us. We’ve got some special behind-the-scenes pics from episode 3, some updates for episode 4, and a little peek at today’s Tom and Don episode. Plus, we have to take a few victory laps!

But before we get onto those, I have a totally hypothetical question for you Brothers out there. If there was, say, a Space King energy drink flavor, would you guys choose..Psycho Stimms or Hate Stimms? Let us know in the comments.

Now let’s get those victory laps out of the way because SPACE KING 3 IS DOING NUMBERS, BABY!!

3 million views in less than a week! That’s nothing to scoff at, Brothers! Thank you!!

It’s been 9 months of hard, EXCRUCIATING labor (labor full of love I might add), but it looks like everyone is appreciating the hard work and talent of the countless artists who worked on the latest episode! The artists YOU paid for!

But the opinions of the adoring masses don’t matter to us! Well, they do, but it’s YOUR opinions that matter the most! So what did you, the people who funded the episode, think? Did it blow your little minds? How did you like Retard Terry? That was a surprise that was tough to keep. 

It’s nice to finally pull the curtain back a bit. Take a peek!

This is what you came to the Patreon for, right?

The special pose for Terry’s iconic Retard Run.

Retard Terry is a complex man with many angles to his personality (and his big dented head). His front view isn’t seen very often (because it’s not as funny as his ¾ view)

What are the lore implications of Hatemace having batteries? 

Our beautiful Time Wizard, whose body is obscured in that big-ass book of his in the toon.

The 10,000 year old “souls” that were splattered against the tower.

The giant AI had many moving parts. But good thing he only had three fingers!

A HUGE asset to design and produce. Glad everybody loved this big guy. 

A detailed backside too. No ass, though, which is a little disappointing…

Some of the hands that were drawn and designed for this 100+ tall freak (I didn’t actually do the math on how tall he is.)

What about the live-action ad for the new merch? Some very special people worked their asses off to get it looking that good, and I could hardly believe how good it turned out to be. Check out some of these production pictures!

Standing ovation for these fine lads. The living avatars of “no girls allowed.”

The set was built around a tree to make it look like an actual treehouse. Much easier than building a real treehouse.

The guys designed this whole set with little/no guidance and they fucking nailed it. We didn’t even ask them to print off those giant Space King posters.

We didn’t ask them to do this either! The attention to detail was insane.

This episode had a lot of love put into it, so feel free to watch it as many times as you want, brothers! Or, if you’re craving something new, go and check out today’s video about Making Space King Episode 3 on the Tom and Don channel!

Now onto Space King Episode 4 updates!

The Space King Christmas special is coming along great, but don’t mistake it for some half-assed holiday episode. This is going to be a full-fledged episode! That’s why we’re changing the name internally to be “Space King Episode 4”. Does this really matter to you? Not really, but I thought it was worth pointing out. 

We’re still on track to have this baby out before Christmas. Can you imagine how embarrassing it’d be if it was released afterwards? I mean, knock on wood, but I think we ‘ve got this process in the bag at this point. We even already have some parts of the toon animated!

Check out some of the progress pics from the episode!

I didn’t say the parts that were animated were very exciting…

“I’m not letting you make another Psycho Warrior retarded, Bryce!”

The rubble Captain’s balls will be crushed under in Episode 4 (in case you’re new here, I like to straight-up LIE in the captions just to throw off the Wiki editors.)

The arena where Chestnut and Hatemonger will fight to settle who’s the fans’ favorite.

The shopping center that happens to be in the middle of a frozen tundra. 

The control panel on the ship’s penis massager.

It may look like a gun, but it’s actually just a fancy coozie. 

PILES and PILES of delicious globules.

The place where all the delicious globules are stored.

Now that we’re only producing one episode at the moment, there’s only one episode that’ll get Flashgitz Friday’s attention, so keep an eye out in the following weeks for more news on the Space King Episode 4!

Now let’s check in on the Tom and Don channel…

328K VIEWS?! Where was that kind of love with the William Marshal video!?

Thank you so much for showing up for the latest episode! We don’t want Space King content to overstay their welcome on the second channel.. but this week’s episode is about Space King as well (let us take a few more victory laps, goddammit!)

Today is the day the Making of Space King Episode 3 airs on YouTube! Now you can get a better glimpse into the inner workings of Space King with directors’ commentary!

As the spikes are counted, the implication starts to set in on what a Hatemace enema would actually feel like.

The map to the crystals was actually based on the map to Don’s silver reserves buried in his backyard.

Absolute cinema.

Make sure you go and check out that video. There’s important lore-drops in there! Okay not really.

Well, brothers, that concludes today’s Flashgitz Friday. Thank you to all who supported Space King 3 throughout the last 9 months. We wouldn’t be anywhere without you Brothers and Greedy Brothers. 

I know 9 months was a long time to wait, but you guys have been so patient, so I hope it was all worth it. This series is a dream come true, and we can’t wait for you all to see where Space King goes in the future. 

Again, thank you, Brothers! And Praise Be!

Now onto everyone’s favorite part of the blogpost: THE FANART!

A fantastic painting of everyone’s new favorite character by @Auzdas1 on Twitter. The look of innocent wonder in his eyes.. :’)

A triumphant and bloodied Hatemonger by @AokiCyber on Twitter. I can only imagine he’s going to use those entrails to whip other aliens.

Hatemonger with some sick knuckles by @DeanMamnevArt on Twitter. He looks so sick and tuff in this photo. I want it on a shirt.

Thank you for reading this far brothers, and until next week!

Praise be!
