Hello, everybody!

It's been a crazy year since I last updated but it wasn't unproductive! Here's a month to month recap to catch up!

In June I moved to Minnesota with my girlfriend Natalie (Lollergator) and my two dogs, Shady and Beebo. I worked on DESTINY GOD MODE while getting adjusted to my new home.

That July I worked with my friend Stabby on POLARIS OUTTAKES - HORRIBLE MONK  and POLARIS OUTTAKES - PINHEAD. 

In August I became a Pokemon Master (Successfully creating a complete living Pokedex in Pokemon XY) while watching Natalie and Stabby attend Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) in Minneapolis. I also animated SMASH BROS GOD MODE and went to Pax Prime!

That following September I started challenging my artistic abilities by drawing illustrative portraits of my best friends. I also created a PICARTO LIVESTREAM!  Additionally I took some Toon Boom tutorials and cooked up a new video called ED & YETI'S BIG ADVENTURE! 

In the beginning of October we put Beebo down. We had to keep working and didn't have much time to mourn which made things really stressful at home. Natalie and I worked on POLARIS CIVIL WAR OUTTAKES - THE SMOKE KNIGHT! We enjoyed Undertale and Halloween Festivities once we had time to unwind.

In November I put together MARIO MAKER GOD MODE  and helped Natalie with her Polaris animation, POLARIS CIVIL WAR OUTTAKES: SKULKIN' AROUND. Then I immediately dove into Fallout 4 as my reward. During this time I began making long term plans for Mediamuffin.com and its sister site, M-Candy.com

December

Then in , Natalie and I were busy at work on a new God Mode and Outtakes until we received news that my father had fallen ill less than a week before Christmas. I immediately flew to Salt Lake City and helped bring him back to good health. Once he was stable he made it clear to me that I needed to stay with him until my brother returned from the military in March 2017. I spent Christmas with my family in Salt Lake.

In January I was uncomfortable in my old room without my belongings, I had only planned to stay in Salt Lake for two weeks and I didn't pack much with me. My father paid for building materials to renovate my room in preparation for my inevitable move back to Salt Lake City, which just made me feel trapped and depressed. I started construction with the help of my friend, Michael Whitaker. At the end of the Month I was invited to Pax South for the Weekend where I was briefly reunited with Natalie and some of our online friends.

I was in Salt Lake City until March doing construction and running errands for my father up until two weeks ago when I was able to drive back to Minnesota to pick up Natalie and Shady.

We've been enjoying our time since then but we're ultimately sad that our life goals have been disrupted once again.

The plan is to move back to Salt Lake City, finish construction on my room, get a stable job to alleviate financial stress, and hopefully continue where we left off until March 2017. I'm happy my father is feeling much better and that we can spend more time with him. We'll make the best of our situation and I hope that we can continue pursuing our goals.

I'm going to do my best to see if I can make it to Pico Day, but with the way things are going, I'm not entirely sure it'll be possible. We'll see!

Here's a little Edvlog about what I've been up to for the past month!

I wish I had more footage to share from Picoday, but I was too busy to film and I was trying to take in every moment I possibly could.  So I added some footage from last year.

Enjoy!

Hello, comrades!

I finished a new cartoon! It's about my childhood experience with a foreign pastry.

Special thanks to my Patrons and friends for supporting me!
Consider checking it out for more toons! For Five monies you get access to my Monthly Sketchbook, vlogs, and cartoons before everybody else! My first milestone should be enough to sustain me and show my Dad that my Film degree is worth something!

Here's the first EDVLOG where I show you my workspace!

On top of that, here are three new videos I whipped up for the LORE channel on Youtube.

KIRBY FAST FACTS!

FINAL FANTASY Type-0 LORE

BLOODBORNE FAST FACTS

I drew a few things in my spare time but nothing note-worthy.
I'll post a few polished pieces later in the week. (Here's something I drew in OPEN CANVAS!)

Additionally I'm open to art commissions!
I'll include the process of any pieces in my monthly sketchbook and send you the issue featuring your request!
Here's my current prices!: http://www.mediamuffin.com/store

AND NOW FOR PERSONAL NEWS!

For the past two weeks I've been stressed in making a huge life decision. Live in Utah for the rest of my life or move to Minnesota with my girlfriend (and probably not have a home to come back to.) There's a lot more to this story and my productivity took a hit due to the weight of the situation, but I'm happy to say that it has been resolved! I'll be moving to Minnesota in the beginning of June!

But before that, I'll be attending Pico day with all my online buddies!
Everybody has their tickets and plans have been set in stone! I'm so excited!!!

Also, Beebo has yet to find a home. I've posted him on Facebook, put him on KSL, and even had a bunch of reblogs on Tumblr but NOBODY is able to take him. I'll make a short video about him and post it to give him another chance. I want to avoid taking him to Minnesota and finding him a home there.

Alrighty, I'm gonna get to work on the next animation, Vlog, and sketchbook.
I'll see you later!!!

HELLO, AMIGOS!!!

Over the years I've had to halt progress on numerous shorts because I can't get the funds to sustain myself and finish them! I've started a Patreon hoping that I can get your support to make content on a regular basis!

Patreon is a virtual tip jar that pays out every time I make a new cartoon and you get rewards for leaving tips! Rewards include access to my sketchbook, vlogs about my progress and daily life, and your name in the credits with an animated loop of your choosing! Please consider pledging to my Patreon since it's the only way I can get financial support for my work!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I haven't been inactive!

I spent so much time making that Patreon AND opening up my commissions page!

Check it out! http://www.mediamuffin.com/store

I've been drawing a lot lately, I'm trying to step up my game and take a step away from Flash.

Here's two doodles for "MANDERZ" (Her Mario Kart 8 character and Splatoon Inkling!)

And a birthday picture for CLOESY!

If you'd like to commission me, send me a PM and visit my commissions page!

--------------------

On top of that I also made two Fast Facts cartoons. I have a Lore coming up this week!

-------------------

Additionally, I'll be attending Pico Day!

I'M SO EXCITED!

Last year was my first time at the Newgrounds Office. It was extremely theraputic for me!

I don't have many local friends who understand what it's like to be a web animator. Being surrounded by artists in the same boat as me was really uplifting. We all shared our experiences, advice, and animated works. What stuck out the most was everybody's drive to get somewhere, to improve, and to post more content! Everybody is a passionate work-a-holic when it comes to cartoons. I can't wait to be among them again!

I want to work the stream again so that YOU TOO can share my excitement! I'll drag people to the camera to say hello and answer a few questions. We'll see what happens!

I'm traveling with my animator pals, Anti-dark-Heart, Cheru, Cloesy, Fungasm, Oryozema,ThePivotsXXD, Supardanil, Terminal Montage, and my girlfriend Lollergator!

We'll see you there!

-----------------

Now that I've got my tin can in front of me to take donations, I hope I can get your support while I draw some doodles and cook up more animations!

See you later! <3

Last month I worked on a short set of comics called "The Lonely Palms"

It was inspired on the plane ride to Philly to visit the Newgrounds Office!

Snowbacon and I scribbled the first comic together. Check them out! They're a quick read. <3

Besides these comics I also cooked up TWO animations!
The first one is incomplete, I'm sorry! I just didn't have enough time to wrap it up during the Smash Bros hype.

And here's the holiday special I animated in a week!
 

Phew! Tons of stuff going on!

Here's two more comics for you to end 2014!

Stay tuned for more in 2015!!!! :D

I also made this live-action short with my friends during August in a DAY!

Perfect for Halloween! ENJOY!

Bare with us as this was our first live-action short in a long time! You can read the details about it HERE.

Man, It's been a BUSY week! On top of all this nonsense I've even been working on revamping my website.

Here's a sneak peek!

Gonna work on adding a commenting section in there, along with the ability to embedd Youtube and Newgrounds videos in the main content area. I'll upload my final revision and ask for your input when the time comes!

Until then, Let's enjoy our Halloween Weekend!
Rock on, guys!
