I'm very excited for this year. Yeah we've got a bunch of live shows, but I'm also doing a lot of work on the Steam Powered Giraffe comic.
Some of you may recall four years ago we pitched the SPG cartoon to a number of studios including Disney and Cartoon Network. Nothing came of it, but we loved the concept we came up with.
The comic is the cartoon. It's the first step to hopefully hook people into the universe. We'd love to move on to animatics so we can re-pitch the concept in the future, but the story and designs, and writing will be in the comic, a place for it to live and breathe without needing to be green-lit by a studio. Though we've been wanting a cartoon of Steam Powered Giraffe from the beginning! Sam Luke, David, and I spent a large amount of time making plans back in the day, and as you can see with our various pitches to cartoon studios (Disney was the closest to biting, btw) it really has just been part of the undercurrent in the group.
I love the story we've come up with, I love the new characters, and I'm working on honing the designs for everything with the help of people who are much more talented than me!
If you stick around on Tumblr you may just see some sketches and art of your favorite robots, and our Patreon will host some behind-the-scenes goodies in the future.
Can't wait to suck you into this world y'all.
A big fanart to celebrate my 3rd anniversary of listening to steam powered giraffe! It's crazy how fast time flies, I remember my forst watch of brass goggles like it was yesterday
