Greetings, brothers! It’s time for another Flashgitz Friday! I hope you all had a terrific week and all your dreams came true. I hope your bosses gave you raises, that girl at your work asked you out, and your childhood bully got AIDS. But if none of those things happened, your friends at Flashgitz have a ton of visual goodies that will make you feel better. Basically better than all the listed things above combined.
This week in production, we’ve been continuously chugging along. Backgrounds have been being painted, assets are being designed and vectorized as you read this, and we have a lot of special poses being drawn. The scene setup process has been kicked off to prepare the next part of the episode to be animated while we finish up the animatic. The animatic has been taking a little while, but that’s partly because it’s — wait am I reading that right? T-the whole episode is over 22 minutes long so far? Holy shit that’s way too long. I-I’m gonna be sick. Hold my hair– HUUURRRLLLL.. W-we can’t give the fans that much Space King content in one sitting! No.. no, I can fix this. Don’t worry guys, I’ll think of something. I’ll spend the next month cutting it down to 5 minutes if I have to.
Until then, check out some screenshots of what we have animated so far.
If you squint a little, it kind of looks like Captain is holding a can of White Monster. It’s not just me, right?
Our brave medicae doing what he does best right on his home turf - a mountain of corpses.
PRAISE BE (remind me to turn this into a Father’s Day card).
Such fantastic screenshots. I can’t wait to see them all animated.
In other news, the assets department has been furiously drawing like a bunch of money-powered machines. We have a few more submissions from the assets department, which include some special poses and props. Take a look!
Geez, Chesnut, you’ve only done this a million times. Why do you need another special pose for it?
Is this finally the episode where they find Space King? No.. we need to keep this baby going for a few more generations.
This gun was built to fire ONLY headshots.
Part of Hatemonger’s snowglobe that he drops in this episode.
I know what you’re thinking. No, we won’t have these stocked at Spencer’s.
Some ships that have trespassed in Space King’s jurisdiction (everywhere).
I have a few more gifs I want to show off before we close off this Flashgitz Friday, which I think really show off how far we’ve come since the beginning of this episode. The different departments coming together to make something that’s, frankly, pretty impressive coming from an indie studio. Take a look!
This is looking insane! Look at how the flame get sucked up along with the testi— I mean globules.
High Command would probably be terrifying. He is, like, 30 feet tall or something.
I replay this gif before going to the gym, just to get a little chub going.
Well, gang, I hope you had fun today! As you can see, we’ve made a lot of progress with the toon so far, and while there’s still a bit of work to do, we can’t wait to finally reveal it all in Episode 3.
And of course, we have all of you, Brothers and Greedy Brothers, to thank for helping us get this far! Without you and your generous contribution, Space King’s internet crusade would have ended before it began. So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! MWUAH!
PRAISE BE! Now let’s get to some fan art!
A Hatemonger piece by @b1kv41 on Instagram. Kind of reminds me of Fallout. He even gave him his own logo!
A Battlefield Emblem by on Instagram by u/interadastingly . If you guys see this guy in your lobby - LET HIM WIN! THAT’S AN ORDER!
Tig’ol Bitties by @GnasherShellsX on Twitter. Don’t look – it’s heretical.
I love seeing what you guys come up with, so keep the fan art coming! I’ll see you guys next week on the next Flashgitz Friday!
Praise be!
PRAISE BE!
PRAISE BE!!!
