Where is Tales of Zale? New Update Video!

Dear Patreons,

most of you already know about the things talked about in this video, but I thought I'd share nontheless. Over the past couple of weekend evenings I've been tinkering with this little update video. I felt bad because a lot of people were asking about the series on YouTube whi...

Dear Patrons,

the sun is shining and it seems that spring is upon us once more. Now seems like a good time for a little update. Since last time I've had my nose deep in the episode 3 animatic; making and re-making parts until I was happy with them. I also spent a week recording and setting ...

Sif's Favourite TVPaint Brushes

Sif's Favourite TVPaint Brushes

I've made a little collection of my favorite TVP brushes. I use TVPaint for both animation and backgrounds, partly because I really enjoy working with the program's brushes and color mixing in regards to the latter.

The brushes are a bit of a mix between home-made ones, default ones, some I...
