Brothers! Welcome back to Flashgitz Friday, where we deliver freshly-picked Flashgitz production updates right into your eyeballs.
So what’s on the agenda first? I know you’re just clawing at your screen for a precious hit of dopamine.
Brothers all over have been receiving their Star Defender vinyl figure, and some have even begun painting them and putting them on social media! The ones I’ve seen have been incredible and it’s such a joy seeing you guys pour your heart into painting these bad boys.
I love this one’s stripes and glowing mouth. You get an A+.
I’m actually very shocked, Brothers, because it seems you all have more self-control than I thought. Out of all of you that received your vinyl figures, I haven’t seen ONE post where one of you has put them in a jar. Or maybe I have and I blocked it out. Either way, incredible self-restraint.
Keep on painting and posting those minis, Brothers! And if you haven’t received yours yet, have patience! You’ll receive your spoils in due time. But if you’re still sad, I have some great news regarding Space King episode 5.
ANIMATION HAS BEGUN ON SPACE KING EPISODE 5!
That’s right, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. This week we’ve officially started animation for the episode by kicking off production on some of the more simple scenes involving Chestnut. Below I’ve stolen some WIP clips from the review board to show you guys. Take a look!
His prod is based on the ones we use on our animators.
Chestnut doesn’t get berated enough, actually.
The sudden decision to reach for another Psycho Warrior’s service weapon.
Praise Be to the guy who designs a ladder that can hold a Psycho Warrior. They’re chunky boyz.
That’s just a sliver of what’s going to be coming in the following weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for more of these, Brothers!
Animation hasn’t been the only thing that’s moved forward. Our other departments have been moving steadily along while making great progress for the episode. Check out some of these miscellaneous pieces!
When making the lights, I told the artists to reference you, my beautiful rays of sunshine <3
A view of the upper deck of the train. Many heretics were thrown off from this very guardrail.
The final battle will happen in an empty Amazon warehouse.
This warrior has been DISARMED. HA.
The full mechanism for the ship's anchoring system. Just in case you wanted to build one at home.
The squad standing around looking thug as hell with Chestnut being replaced by a cool and mysterious black guy. Black armor, I mean.
You’ll get all the action you crave and more in this episode! Cover the women and children’s eyes!
Try digging a pit big enough for THIS train, Mr. Beast!
The best part of my week is getting to tease you all with these super cool photos, but I always feel a little bad about showing you what you can’t have yet. At least you have the Tom and Don channel to keep you sane while you wait!
This week on the Tom and Don channel, we’re back again to talk about more crazy Warhammer 40k weapons! There were a lot of suggestions in the comments of the last video, so we decided to revisit the topic based on some of the suggestions you guys had!
Who’s the better writer? Flashgitz or Games Workshop?? Place your bets before watching this week’s episode! (For legal reasons, I’m not advising you to actually bet.)
Lots of civil discussion and no mud-slinging here teeheehee
Sometimes the discussion goes off-track. This isn’t one of those times.
Well, Brothers, that does it for this Flashgitz Friday! Don’t forget to check out the latest upload on the Tom and Don channel. And as usual, we want to thank you for your support, Brothers! We were able to start animation on another episode solely because all of you believe in Space King. So from all of us over here at the Flashgitz polycule: thank you Brothers, Greedy Brothers, and Very Greedy Brothers for your continuous generosity.
Come back next week for more updates on Space King 5!
NOW LET’S GET TO THE FAN ART!
Blood Trail by Janovich on YouTube! It’s a SICK 3d animation by the same guy who did the Hatemarch video. Go check it out!
A beautiful baby-faced Bryce by @Skwimpler on X. You all like to assume Bryce is a lot cuter than he actually is.
Hatemonger and Chestnut by @MoxueDelia75410 on X. A fantastic piece of art! Just make sure Chestnut keeps that left hand to himself.
Thank you, Brothers! See you next week!
Praise Be!
