FLASHGITZ FRIDAY 10/30

BROTHERS! Welcome to a VERY SPOOKY edition of FLASHGITZ FRIDAY! Halloween may be tomorrow, but it looks like you lucky little rascals are getting your treats today! And by treats, I mean something even better than candy: PRODUCTION UPDATES!!

But before we get to the updates, we need to get into the holiday spirit! And what better way than to show off some of the SPACE KING JACK-O-LANTERNS that have been made!

Space King fans are finally carving more into pumpkins than just weenie-sized holes.

What a sight! Our very own militia scattered all around the world carving pumpkins in Space King’s honor! These pumpkins are sick and it brings us sewer mutants over here at Flashgitz a lot of joy seeing them come across our timelines. To those of you who’ve carved and posted your Psych-o-Lanterns (patent pending), thank you for making us a part of your holiday! And if you didn’t, you need to make up for it next year.

Now let’s get onto… SPACE. KING. 6!!!!!

I have an earth-shattering announcement regarding episode 6, so you should probably sit down for this one… You ready? Here goes…

ANIMATION IS DONE!!

You read that right! As of this week, animation for Space King episode 6 is complete! We’ve put in a few eternities of man-hours into this episode, but we’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! All that’s left is compositing, special effects, sound, souls of the unborn, and music! We still have a bit of work to do, so hang tight as we get through making this the best episode of Space King yet!

While you wait, take a look at some behind-the-scenes of SPACE KING 6!

Someone should put an out-of-order sign on this thing.

The last thing your passenger side mirror sees.

Finished backgrounds can look nonsensical out of context. Take this empty void with a pile of bones for example…

This shot is set up so the background will go back into the distance, so only a portion of the background will be seen. Everything inside the red frame is what makes the final cut! See, you do learn something from Flashgitz Fridays <3

As you can see, we’ve made huge strides in completing this episode! We’re VERY excited for you to see what we’ve been up to, but you’re gonna have to wait a little bit longer! In the meantime, try and keep your idle hands occupied.. Maybe with some TOM AND DON?

Turn out the lights and get your snackies because this Halloween on Tom and Don, we’re talking about a HORROR MOVIE! One of the earliest unofficial “Warhammer 40k” movies, Event Horizon! It’s been said that this “cult classic” was secretly meant to be a prequel to Warhammer 40k. But is it true? And does it hold up to such classics as Small Soldiers? Check it out tomorrow and see!

Take a sneak peek at this Saturday’s upcoming episode!

Don’s attempt at installing a warp drive into the studio majorly malfunctioned.

Our editor made sure to make this review more comprehensible than the actual movie.

POV: You try watching Event Horizon by yourself after the review

Don’t forget to check out the latest episode of Tom and Don on YouTube this Saturday!

Alright, Brothers! We’re nearing the end of the blogpost, but we have some PROMOTIONS we wanted to remind you guys of before we wrap it up.

Don’t forget to sign up to the Greedy Brothers tier (or above teehee) by 11/30 to receive a GIANT 5” GLOBULOUS MAXIMUS STICKER! Signing up now means you’ll get this bad boy in addition to the stickers you’ll receive next month. We’ll be sending October's stickers out a week late, so don’t freak out that you haven’t gotten yours yet. It’s coming <3

Those that sign up to the VERY Greedy Brothers (or above *cough cough*) by 10/31 will get something a little more personal: a FLASHGITZ CHRISTMAS CARD! Something merry and gay you can hang on your fridge and see every time you grab some eggnog. That way you can think of us every time you drink viscous white fluids. 🎄❄️🎅⛄🎁

That does it for this week’s Flashgitz Friday! But before I head out to go find a culturally enriching and non-offensive Halloween costume, I want to thank all our Acolytes, Brothers, Greedy Brothers, Very Greedy Brothers, and the beautiful CHOSEN for all your support! 

Thanks to you, not only do we have the opportunity to give you guys a sick cartoon, but we get to make each episode subsequently better than the last! We COULD just be pocketing the money and feeding this shit into AI, but you all deserve better. You deserve REAL HUMAN SUFFERING put into your cartoons. So just think about how many animators are suffering because of you! Pretty great, isn’t it?

Thank you, Brothers! And until next week,
Praise Be!

Now let’s check out some fan art!

Sculpted Saint Shield by @DrSleepy3D on X! I love the style of this sculpt! Now to obtain a 3d printer… and a human skeleton…

TERRY THE FOOL by @DaveCenobite on X! I love the sack full of green crystals.

Leapfrogging Chestnut and Hatemonger by @TarTarIcing. If Hatemonger’s intentionally bugging Chestnut, maybe it’s not too out-of-character after all…
