Don't mess with Jess! 💥

Arguably the 2nd most important character from our project 'Kev'...
Say hello to Detective Inspector Jess Drewstead! Easy going, but SERIOUS when it matters...

You'll be seeing a lot of her from now on! #IndieAnimation #StickmanStone

The Whistling Stickman has RETURNED 🎶
Introducing the main man, the troublemaker, the titular character himself, Kev Stone!

What's happening with Kev now?

- Kev's out of pre-production since early this year
- Voiceovers are done (watch out for 2025! 👀)
- NEW Character designs dropping from tomorrow onwards

We'll mainly continue refining the look of this series while other Toonshed projects are WIP!

Watch out! 💥

With Kev, the main thing we're moving away from is something called 'PBR', a popular photo-realistic rendering style common in most Pixar films... Here's a random selection of background designs that are officially scrapped:
December 8, 2024 at 11:46 PM
Here's the problem though... Making major art direction changes involved a lot of ripping up existing animation and starting again, which is extremely time consuming! But It's a decision we stand by, because we think it's going to look 10x better once it's all done 😉

Scene test with Posey:
December 8, 2024 at 11:46 PM
Since we rebooted the project back in 2023, a lot has changed. Everything you saw at the time - even in the trailer - has since had a massive overhaul...

The series is going 2.5D in its art direction!
