Espresstoe Beans: A Walk in the Park (Indie Animated Series)

Omigosh this took forever! I’ve quite literally done nothing else for like the past month other than work on this but it was worth it! I’m super proud of how this turned out and I honestly can’t believe it! I knew it was super ambitious to work on such a long episode but I did it! I’m def gonna spend at least 3 days straight not drawing and just playing video games to recover because sheeeeesh! I’ve drawn so many cats XD

Big thanks to my voice actors for all their hard work! I really loved all of their fun takes and contributions and they really help motivate me to do my best! And also thanks to Longdogart and Alternate Bazaar Art for letting me use some of their stuff as backrooms backdrops! It was kind of a spur of the moment thing I wanted to include because I like their works and I thought it would be fun to include, so I’m super happy they agreed!! :D

I hope you all enjoy it and I look forward to making even more episodes!

Backrooms Backdrops

Backdrop 1 from Gracie (Longdogdart)

Backdrop 2 from Angela and Bryan (Alternate Bazaar Art)
The backdrop was a screenshot from their video “Exploring the Rainbow Rooms”. It was really hard deciding what screenshot I wanted to use, all their videos are soooo cool!!

Backdrop 3 is just Caseoh playing Backrooms Exploration by HNStudios
I’ve gotta include some Caseoh references. I literally has Caseoh videos playing the entire time I was making this so it’s basically like he made the episode too y’know what I mean chat. Hey, it is what it is.

I’d also like to give a shoutout to Jonnie and Rad with Project City! I’ve been working a lot on auxiliary skills like sfx and music and things like that because I was weaker on those skills, but for this episode I wanted to focus on improving my strengths so I started doing the classes over there to help with my writing, comedy, storyboarding, and storytelling! Thanks to Jas Gibson for looking over a scene. I’ll def take the advice into the future, I couldn't do much for this episode because if I have to draw another line I’ll probably start crying haha. And also a huge shoutout to Talya Perper! Her classes were soooo insanely helpful to me and were super relevant to the type of animation I’m doing!! Plus she’s super engaging to listen to! :D

Also if you see a mistake/missing parts of a design or stuff like that… my bad lol. I’m pretty sure I caught most of them but I am but one person haha

Thanks again for watching!!!!
