Sneak Peek Thumbnail Dark Eldering

Hey guys! Just a quick one, today I'm re-recording some of my lines to improve the voice acting even further and during the weekend I will be tweaking some of the music tracks I created, adding also some additional small scores I think are needed.
Next week, I'll be writing the patron names (thank you guys) and insert some last Easter Eggs th...

It's gonna be -the very beginning of- May!

Hello fellas, yesterday I completed the sound editing! The parody has a running time of 42 minutes, similar to the original Eldering. There's a few things I need to take care of, still:
The Easter Eggs, visual fixes of stuff I've noticed while editing it, writing the Patrons and some tweaks to the music tracks. Everything else Is done and it...

Recording the sound effects!

Hey guys, I'm recording the sound effects now and it's SO exciting to finally see the whole thing coming together. <3 However there is a big pain in the ass that I'm dealing with this week. Twitch announced that they will be deleting all saved videos on the 19th of April!... I was hoping that Twitch would walk back on this stupid decision, bu...

Getting IT out of the oven.

Hey guys, I was gonna do a more detailed update but I'll keep it relatively brief since I'm in the grinder here finishing.

I'm currently doing the mouth animations of all the characters, adding more gestures to make them feel more fun and alive.
I've completed the thumbnail (it's my best to date, I think!!!).
I'm waiting for some mi...

Release this month?

Ciao guys, damn I forgot that February had only 28 days!
First I wanted to apologize, because I thought I was gonna be able to finish all the coloring in February, but i'm still coloring the last fight right now.
Everything outside of the last battle is completed, down to the last frame. I'm slashing my way (hint-hint) through the rem...

ALMOST THERE!

Hey guys!
Did you know that I got married last month? :D The process was a bit of a rollercoaster, but we still kept things simple actually. Marrying was a logical step for us, since it makes being together so much easier and helps avoiding getting separated every 3 months due to the visa expiring, since my wife is from another country. So, e...

Happy New Year! UPDATE

Hello guys, I'm feeling much better now! This Christmas (for those who don't know) I had a NASTY gastrointestinal virus. It lasted for almost a week, and I had constant nausea tormenting me day and night.
During most of those days I was weak and nauseous so I couldn't work all the time, but i still managed to work some of the days. I worked e...

UPDATE (Dark Eldering)

Hello guys.

Quick update on Dark Eldering. I'm about to finish the outlines, it's been a clusterf*ck to finish all of this...the Malenia fight took more days than I initially intended, but it's almost over. I'm gonna wrap it up in a couple of days and finally move on to the coloring which I will tackle at light speed. (I also added some ne...

UPDATE (Dark Eldering and schedule Streams)

Hey my boys and girls!

In the first 2 weeks of November I will be finishing the outlines for Dark Eldering. A huge milestone as many of you know, since outlines are the biggest part of the entire project. Which means I will start the coloring soon. Damn, these outlines really kicked my ass lads, not gonna lie...ouch.

Streaming: I'm g...

Trailer Release

Friends, mark your calendar. Trailer is dropping on Friday the 20th.

Dark Eldering UPDATE (Trailer and Full Video)

Hey guys, I hope your summer is going well!
I'll keep this update on Dark Eldering short for you:
The trailer for Dark Eldering is super beefy, having almost 30 scenes compared to the 21 of the first parody! For this and other reasons, like the Animation Streams being slightly behind, it's a taking a bit more time, thus it will be finally ...

UPDATE Trailer and Streaming Schedule

Hey guys, great news! Yesterday I finally completed ALL the outlines for the content that goes in the trailer for Dark Eldering. And damn!...some of these shots are pretty complex. Of course the trailer contains some stuff that we are working on during the animation streams, so we gotta crank forward with those too.
Since I wasn't feeling wel...

I'm so glad I took those extra days to refine the toon.

Release Date

Hey folks!
First an assurance: the voice actors are all here! Yesterday I've received the last take that I needed.

I wanted to tell you that i decided to push the release by just a couple days. I know, i know, i feel your frustration but it's for good reason.
In a time where on Youtube the first 3 days after the upload are crucial ...

LAST UPDATE

Hey guys! I'm not gonna be able to hit the weekend release unfortunately. I still need a couple more days! I need to receive some voice acting missing and do the thumbnail too.

Though more worrying is that I'm completely missing 2 voice actors still.
Here's why: I had 2 voice actors in my database, who sent me some Dark Souls demos b...

Anor Londo Episode UPDATE

Hello my Chosen Undead supporters!
Just letting you know that I'm currently taking care of the voice acting for the Anor Londo episode. Fun trivia: I had to divide this episode in 3 different files due to the amount of stuff in it. Older episodes (like "Wrong Way" in the screenshot here, were just 1 file). It's gonna be a pretty chunky episod...

UPDATE

What's up everyone. Wanted to give you a little update and also wish you happy holidays!

First, these last 2 weeks I've been sick. I dunno if it was covid, since i was isolated in my house, but it wasn't super bad (no major coughs and such). But the fever, that was very annoying. I was sweating buckets many nights and had chills. It took m...

Dork Souls "Anor Londo" (Teaser)

Amazing chest…or despair ahead, what will it be? So guys a psa, in this toon since it's "shorter" (still around 10 minutes though fml XD) I'm gonna put the patron's names in the credits only, divided by tiers as usual. In the Elden Ring sequel though, I will go back to putting the names also inside the animation, just like always (for 5 dollar...

UPDATE

What's up everybody! Apologies for some silence lately, been really busy trying to focus on work as much as possible.

Today I've completed the very last outline for the Anor Londo parody! The animation sports some really sick (and abundant) frame by frame sequences, which is why it's requiring more time to complete. It will also be around ...

Elden Ring Discussion Guest Starring Matthew Shezmen

Hey guys! I was recently invited on the Elden Kings Podcast! We talked about many things, like how I got into Souls games, Animation, the visual design of souls games and much more! Such a pleasant conversation, I hope you enjoy it \o/
