Thanks a lot, Jewelstone Queen!  The background is a somewhat simplified version of the style from a Caribbean sci-fi animation/graphic novel I recently made.  It's most noticeable in the clouds.  The first two parts of the pilot episode are free to view on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/EthanAlleyneMrE

Here's the trailer;

Wow! I've watched the tailer and seen the preview on your patreon, and even though I probably can't join at the moment, I just want to congradulate you on your work! You've managed to create a web series of some sorts, which is something I've always wanted to do, and the characters are so charming! I love your style so much, and I wish there was a way I could support you!

Thanks so much, jewelstone queen!  That's okay.  I'm so glad you like the characters and art style!  I wish you all the best for your future web series.  Speaking of which, you mentioned a comic called 'How to be a Human's Pet'.  I know it's not a web series, so I'm guessing it's a single-entry comic so far.  Is there anywhere I can read it?

Sadly not yet, I haven't got the time to start is since I'm still at school and things. But it gives me time to construct the story and characters. I sometimes post designs on my deviant art page.

I recently did an art trade with The Jewelstone Queen, drawing her character, Emily.  I really love how she turned out!  Here's a teaser (maybe I'll release the full image here around Christmas?).

First off, thank you for the in-depth reply to my comments from a while ago that I just realized I never replied to. (And if you accidentally used a word improperly, I won’t be the one to scold you for it, as I too have been there, done that with sci-fi fanfics.) :oops

If you’d posted the Party Popper art/synopsis outside this art thread, you probably could’ve fooled me into thinking it was a real game. :lol Granted, I’m not much of a gamer, but at the very least it sounds more developed than Angry Birds!

Like Jewelstone, I don’t have a Patreon account, but I did watch all the A.C.O.-E videos that were free. Looks like an intriguing concept! Your characters are so cute, and once again, I’m very impressed by your ability to put together animatics largely on your own! (How long did this one take?)
Congratulations on getting this far on your series—projects like that take a lot of drive, you really should be proud!  :CeraHAPPY

Hi everyone.  Sorry, I wrote a response a while back, but it didn't go through when I thought I'd hit 'reply'.

Thanks so much, @RainbowFaceProtege!  I haven't been as attentive here as I should be, but it's always a delight to talk to you.  A.C.O.-E. New Bim took several months.  I had a little help for some of the backgrounds.

It was a pleasure, @The jewelstone queen.  I love how Emily turned out.

Thanks, @gutza1!
