To celebrate #IndieAnimationDay, here’s a preview of a scene in my upcoming short film, “LOCUS: No Matter How Small”. Shoutout to the following VAs: HapyrVT as Pudge (octopus) @thevacaslei.bsky.social as Prie (mantis) and @itsbethpierce.bsky.social who will voice Roe.🥚 #LOCUS #indieanimation

Decided to release Part 1 of Abnormal Episode 8 early! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcYj...

“What’ll it be, kid?” Don’t worry, Roe doesn’t drink alcohol. 🌞 #LOCUS #indieanimation #comingsoon #originalcharacterart

Vacation and sickness aside, progress has been going steady on the film’s development! I’m about halfway through building all the 3D environments. Here’s a preview of a few interior set pieces, to give you an idea of what to expect. 👾 #LOCUS #indieanimation #wip

I know it’s past #IndieAnimationDay but- Here’s a follow-up to the short I recently uploaded which explained LOCUS in general. Unlike that video, this one elaborates on the film “No Matter How Small” in detail. #LOCUS #indieanimation #animation #comingsoon

Hello to my fellow animation enjoyers! Here’s a Short-style video to briefly describe what kind of indie animated project I am working on. 🌤️ Oh, and happy #IndieAnimationDay. 🙂‍↕️🙌 #LOCUS #animation

🍒🍊🍋The Heroic Six is an original series about a Grape who was destined to protect the world from chaos with the help of her friends!🍐🫐 🍇 Here's episode one!(1/2) #IndieAnimationDay #TheHeroicSix #oc youtu.be/iOxRM2-nB8E?...

✨ Happy #IndieAnimationDay!! ✨ Unfortunately, I don't have a ton to share with you today, but I can assure you that big things will be coming very very soon! In the meantime, here are some all new exclusive screenshots for Episode 0 of #PLAYERvsTRINITY! #IndieAnimation #SupportIndieAnimation

I FINALLY finished all the essential storyboards for my film. 🥴 Next is to build the 3D environments (which I prepped for with sketchmaps). Those who wish to see the boards in detail can do so via my Ko-Fi. 🙏✨ ko-fi.com/spyralatelier

☕️ KO-FI NOW LIVE! ☕️ Thank you so much for those who patiently waited for me to migrate from Patreon! If you wish to gain exclusive / early access to BTS content of my upcoming indie animated film, please consider pledging, below. Thank you. 💙 ko-fi.com/spyralatelier

The official teaser of "LOCUS: No Matter How Small" is up. 🌱 Although I’m not naming dates, I hope to have this film completed as early as December of this year, if not early next year. 🌤 S #LOCUS #indieanimation #animation

Quick heads-up for those who’re still thinking of pledging to my Patreon! I'm contemplating a switch to Ko-fi instead, as some of its features are more aligned with my preferred earning approach (instead of relying primarily on subscriptions). It also looks cuter. 😁

Much like Roe doodling away, I’ve got a little something in the works… 🤫🌤️ #LOCUS #indieanimation #wip

Wait... This isn't JCJenson @spyralatelier.bsky.social

From one slime… to another. 🤝 Biko is from Stormfellers (by @bageldenizen.bsky.social) Roe is from LOCUS (by me) Support the Stormfellers series Kickstarter while there’s still time left. 💙 www.kickstarter.com/projects/bag... #indieanimation #stormfellers #fanart

guys, I think I’m having a little too much fun making satire in my series’ worldbuilding, send help 💀 #storyboard #wip

Now, I’m still on the fence about this, but I was thinking Roe would have two different suits in the film’s plot. One would be his iconic suit; the other is this “Gimbal ProK XS v1.06.0082” designed mainly for construction, but also has domestic use. #indieanimation #LOCUS

Here’s a storyboard sneak peek video depicting one of the scenes in the prologue. 🌻 Shoutout to @thevacaslei.bsky.social and @itsbethpierce.bsky.social for voicing Prie and Roe, respectively. ⭐️ #LOCUS #indieanimation #comingsoon

Hoppy Friday, Heroes! Guess whose concept art is being revealed today?! Keropi’s Concept art is now available on our P page, exclusive to the Heroes Pass! #LTSERIES #IndieAnimation

Hi guys! No, I’m not dead. :D I’m working on my project, but its progress is only being shown to my voice cast and backers (due to the sensitive nature of the material). That said, if anyone else outside these groups likes to keep close tabs on it too, well… #comingsoon

It’s… it’s beautiful… 🥹⭐️

At last, Enya’s beanies came in, thus completing the shirt-beanie set… and all physical rewards. 🥳 It’s on to size / weight measurement, packaging and shipping and then we’ll be officially done with this segment. 🤝✨ #LOCUS #NMHS

Took a quick little break from my project to practice digital painting, and color / temperature theory… through fan art. :D This character is Powder, from the indie animated series Pieces of Powder by @ekouku.bsky.social . 🤍 #piecesofpowder #indieanimation

⭐️ Cast Announcement ⭐️ The three punks at ChipTune will be… Gallo (@SambobVA.com) Ken (@Cole Graham) and Eunice (@SkyeReddenVO.bsky.social) … which completes the cast of named characters in my upcoming short film “LOCUS: No Matter How Small”! ✨ #LOCUS #indieanimation

After finishing work with the main cast, I was thinking of making a Patreon for where I share behind-the-scenes developments of my short film (outside the VA team I’m working with, and my pledgers). What do you guys think? ☕️

The T-Shirts and Post-It Notes are here. 🥳 All that remains are the beanies (which does take a bit of time for the manufacturers to produce and ship), but otherwise, we’re ready to bundle. 📦 #LOCUS #NMHS #Kickstarter

The stage is being set… literally. 🌱 Here’s a preview of the first scene’s location (sans the characters). With main voices and rewards being 95% done, everything is gonna come together very soon. #LOCUS #NMHS #indieanimation

The Lei Tote Bags recently came in… and they turned out better than I expected. 🌸🌼🌺 #LOCUS #NMHS

Stand tall… no matter how small. 🌱 #LOCUS #indieanimation #comingsoon

Imagine if your reward for sifting through thousands of half-baked applications was a single lanyard? Well, Pudge learned to accept it. 🤷 #LOCUS #NMHS #kickstarter

ID Cards and Fridge Magnets, anyone? 👀 #LOCUS

We’re about 80% complete with ordering the Kickstarter’s physical rewards! ❇️ Here’s Velo’s Pouch, by the way! Performing sleight of hands—or simply putting your pencils in a case—have never been more stylish, with this microraptor by your side. 🪶 #LOCUS

Prie’s Bookmark(s). 🔖 Lore Fun Fact: This was a commissioned piece by Prie’s drama school trilobite classmate, Théodore, who insisted on doing it for free (calling it a “friend’s discount”). IRL Fun Fact: Each bookmark comes with a tassel. 🙂‍↕️ #LOCUS #indieanimation

🪼 Bioluminescent charms, anyone?🪼 Nettle’s Keychains just arrived, and I am in love with how it came out! The glow effect appears after basking the charm(s) under a relatively bright light for a couple of minutes, as shown in the second image. 🌟 #LOCUS #indieanimation

The first wave of reward items are coming in this week! 📦 Curiously, the Chip coasters arrived first before the bookmarks, pens and keychains (which I ordered prior). As people will be putting drinks on his face, it’s no wonder he looks displeased. 😂 #LOCUS #indieanimation

Quick update for all my backers & followers, here! I’m nearly ready to work with my main cast, but first, I’m working on the first wave of digital and physical goods to be shipped soon! DIG.: Profile Pics, Wallpapers, Color Pages, PHYS.: Bookmarks, Charms Will share more soon!
