July Dump (Patreon Changes)

If you've been in the Discord you'll know I've been in the process of moving and only until a week ago have I finally settled in.

That said, there's a lot of shit on the go still and I'm going to be adding revamping Patreon to the mix. I've already removed the Legendary tier as I felt it was too much of a hassle to keep up with sketch commissions regardless of the price. Hunting people down and keeping tabs on what references I needed to get and backlogs stacking up is not something I p...

June Dump

Heading to California for Vidcon and then back to Canada shortly after this. I keep saying I have so much to share, which is true, but I'm trying to get a slight backlog before I go full throttle.

I also have a move coming up and I'm still figuring out a road map that I could share later on.
This includes things like getting back into streaming art and music, a monthly upload schedule (at the very least), launching full sets of merch, working with managing a team to animate music vid...

May Dump

Heya, posting this right as I head out the door to Momocon. Come say hi if you're attending I promise I won't scream at you and cry and scream and cry.

Anyways, I'm holding back on a lot I could be sharing still in terms of projects and the BTS for visualizers and the next skits I wanna do but when I get back you'll be hearing more from me. Also apologies for those waiting on comms and tier rewards. It's gearing up to be a crazy summer but I will be getting to those when I get...

April Dump

Whaddup

March Dump

Sketches and comms from this month. As per usual behind on schedule for the WDWM visualizers but I anticipated I would end up posting in April anyhow so it's not too big of a deal. Just means I had less to show BTS this month than I thought I would. Toodles~

February Dump

Getting this out right at the end of the month again, my bad.
Been sick these last couple of days but these last weeks I've been grinding on projects crazy.
Backgrounds for the visualizers are done and I'm compiling it all together this March (A lot later than I'd like but better late than never as per usual). a couple of doodles, comms and, in case you missed it, cover art for the track Snoozer from a while back.
I'll have a lot more to share next month so stay tuned.

January Dump

Hey, geeks. A little catch up is being played with the visualizers for the 'When Death Was Mine - Full Album Visualizer' video as December and January have been all sorts of busy.

As I write this I am living in the states for the next few months so I'll hopefully be able to lock in and challenge myself in a better work environment.
I'm going to try push myself to upload regular shorter skits and ideas I've been sitting on for a long time now and try not to worry about making them hi...

December Dump

Uhhh, what the spruce? It's been three months and a lot in my life is spinning and changing as always, but I apologize for not getting some of these up sooner. I'm pretty much sitting on a backlog of sketches and songs I could be uploading but it's just been nonstop busywork.

Anyways, have some unorganized doodles of muscle practice, Hotline Miami and other various thingamabobs and I'll definitely try to get a music post up before months end, cheers.

September Dump

Not a super crazy sketch dump this month and I don't have one set up for October as I will be away in Japan until the 24th, but I will set up a music post for next month showcasing a couple of OP-1 scraps. HOWEVER, who cares? Because the cool news is the WHEN DEATH WAS MINE album teaser goes up either sometime tomorrow or on Saturday so thing's are looking pretty sweet.

Here's a little BTS for one of the shots I added in just recently

It's been a long journey towards releasing th...

August Dump

Lot's of cool little character designs for potential future projects (Not that I should be getting ahead of myself) but it's always good to have characters on hand to give me something to reference back to if I want to draw one day and don't want to design from scratch. Also a third piece that I may or may not finish (As I streamlined that character into a different design you see in the first batch of sketches). Anyways the main design concepts for The Mad Prince of Mars were super fun to do...

July Dump

Gulp, don't look at me, teehee.
Sketches and some selected sketch comms from this month. Yeah I got deathly ill on my return from the states and things didn't go as planned but I'm getting back into the swing of things. (This is what happens when I announce things)
Cheers👋

June Dump

I actually have a lot more I could show off (as I have been bad with getting posts up these last few months) but July is gearing to be a lot more exciting.
I'm going away for a few weeks in the states as I write this and 'll be busting out sketches I owe and catching up on Banner doodles. So if you're one of the people I still owe a sketch or banner doodle for make sure to get back to me on references for you characters and such.
This next month I'll have some more musical stuff to sho...

March Dump

Not much to add other than March beat me down this month, getting this one out at the last second (Not something I like doing). If you haven't seen it yet SomeThingElseYT released an animated music video for the first in a series of songs I'm helping produce with him so go check it out.

Anyways, that means I need to get a grip on my shit as per usual because I have that workload as well. Office video is nearly done but I figure I'll show off some of the backgrounds. I am more than unha...

February Dump

What the spruce? Actually managing to get consecutive posts up? Nahhh what happened to the real Zalinki?

Here's some doodles cobbled together along with an older piece I showed off that I've finally gotten around to finishing (still needs some minor details) and then a third piece I started ages ago that I plan on finishing soon.
As for my progress on a video for Feb, I'm currently toiling away on it and by giving myself harsher deadlines I'm learning a lot about what to concede for ...

January Dump

Alright okay, let's talk game plan for this year and I'll be brief.

The idea is to get out something each month (barring January because I'm just finally getting back to what feels like a consistent routine after December and January madness)

This will either be a skit or a music video though I have at least 6 or 7 solid pure skit ideas ready to be put to use.
That leaves room for music stuff being an official release and mv for snoozer along side the album teaser and full albu...

October/November Dump

Here's a larger collection of sketches containing some character designs and storyboards and concept art as well as a few of the commissions I did last month.
Since I always have trouble with posting these at the last second Ill start posting some of these sketches on Discord as well for those who might miss it due to cancelling their tier.

Hope Thanksgiving was great for y'all and I hope everyone's getting holly-jolly-pilled this season. Toodles ~ 🎅🚬

September Dump

Hey there, I've compiled some sketches and comms from this month and the last. While I definitely have a lot more little things I could throw in here I thought it best to save some and not bloat a single post.
I've always been hesitant to present anything close to a roadmap but I think as I wrap up some of these bigger projects I can elucidate some details of what I'm planning on.

After this post goes up I'll be leaving for Maryland for VidCon East but seeing as I'm there for a ...

July Dump

Just got finished with moving as I post this. Sorry for squeezing it in right at the tail end of the month but things have been rather busy to say the least. Trying to wrap up some big shit before I have to move again as I'm between places. Here's some doodles and recent sketch commissions. Employee tier patrons can expect a music post very soon 👊🤠

"My Scene For Shrek 2 Retold" Early Access

Probably going to toss this one up on the channel at the end of the week but I figured you guys could have a peek at it first.
Enjoy 🤓

May Dump

Long overdue dump of sketches from this month and the last alongside some patron sketch commissions and WIP pieces that I may or may not finish (I have far too many to catch up on)

Going to a do a second post soon showing off my part for Shrek Retold 2 on here before I upload it to my channel as well. So there's another little treat to look forward to (as well as at least 3 tracks I've been meaning to share with Employee Tier patrons so keep your ears peeled 👂🐵)

"GRAND SCAM PASTA" Early Access

Throwing this one up here a day early for you guys, might go up sometime late tomorrow or Sunday. I've been behind on Patreon commissions and sketch dumps so expect a post soon.

Toodles~

😎

February Dump

Salutations my children.
Enjoy a late composite of some sketches, wips, a character design, and a gif I don't think I shared (I think)
Progress is going well on the two videos but obviously they won't be done before the month's end as I'm going on a trip until the first of March.
I also took a week's time to produce a looping short with a short music cover which if you haven't seen can be found on my Twitter and on my YouTube shorts.

Been a crazier month, some family...

November Dump

Sorry fellas, no goofy wacky audio log hijinks this time as I'm posting this literally moments from rushing out the door to get to the airport.

I'll be in New York for the weekend so until then have this month's assortment of sketches and such.
Hope you're all having a good No Wipe November and I'll see you all soon.

October Dump

Here's the few sketch commissions from a few months ago along with some sketch dumps and some WIP pieces I intend to finish at some point, cheers 👋

Patreon Overhaul/Updates

Putting this one in an audio file because it's easier than typing it out and you're all illiterate so uhhhhmmm... here's a big sketchdump

Here are what the older tier icons looked like, as a fun little comparison

(I just noticed that Patreon compresses the hell out of these sketchdum...

Well Hello There :]

I am constantly reluctant when it comes to sharing the details of what I'm working on to the point that I never post at all.
After leaks and a uneventful span of time with nothing near completion to show I opted to not to release anything. 

These doodles here are 2 years old at this point. They don't reflect the ever-increasing standard of quality I set to produce (even in menial practice dumps such as these), but at least there's something to pour your eyes over. 

I ...

Addendum: 2019 in Review

I need to talk about my channel and the way I've been producing content up until this point.

I would say thank you for the all the support on the new video or the numerous messages and support I've received through PM's and DM's and SM's but this isn't really about that.

It's about me, and being honest with my arrogance.

For 3 years, I have attempted to transition into YouTube as a full time job.

Since day one I've been bumming it from house to house and recently I was...

Here We Go Again...

Some drawings old and new. Another timely apology for my absence. 

I can assure you I'm picking up the pieces of time lost. Though while bringing my work with me to California to speed up the process of the music video I now realize I was being idealistic when back in June I said I was two thirds done. 

As someone who has failed to consistently storyboard through the entirety o...

Another Post Title

Still attacking that music video (which, as is par for the course, is taking me longer than expected but is roughly 2/3 to 3/4 done) so here's some more stuff to look at and, as usual, your continued support is appreciated <3
