“When a discouraged sheep becomes possessed by a demon and gains the power to shift into his lycan form, she realizes the potential of being a big, bad werewolf in a world where little sheep are easy prey…” Watch the latest teaser trailer for Bleating Heart episode 1: Cry Wolf! #indieanimation

Bleating Heart Halloween sticker sheets are available in my ko-fi shop! Get ‘em before the spooky season ends! 👻🎃🌙 www.ko-fi.com/vanamation/shop #bleatingheartseries #halloween #stickers

A square photo of three sticker sheets stacked on top of each other, laid on a spread of leaves and surrounded by pumpkins and candy corn. The stickers have designs featuring a cartoon anthropomorphic sheep dressed as a witch, a werewolf dressed as a devil and with a pumpkin head (a la headless horseman), and a floating wolf head as a ghost.

The same sticker sheet in the previous image but this time propped up against a pumpkin and a little kawaii ghost decoration.

Tomorrow!! Don’t miss the new #IndieAnimationDay episode of @postmodartpod.bsky.social, featuring cowboys, detectives, and werewolf sheep (oh my!) 🤠 Here’s the YouTube thumbnail art I got to contribute for it!

Digital art showing two people conversing at a table with a microphone between them. On the left is a woman with short blonde hair and glasses, wearing a cowboy hat and holding a cardboard box labeled “OC’s.” Inside the box, a cartoon anthropomorphic sheep leans out and waves, while a wolf head floats above her. Two timid cowboys peek out of the other side of the box. On the right side of the table is a brunet bearded man with glasses, also wearing a large cowboy hat. The woman has a speech bubble with an open book in it, while the man has a speech bubble with music notes in it.

Monthly Ko-fi supporters can now vote on the first seasonal sticker design of 2025: Spring! ko-fi.com/polls/Spring... 🌷🐺🦋 #indieanimation #werewolf #stickerdesign

Digital drawing shows three loose black sketches on a white background. Sketch A shows a top-down view of a wolf with pointy ears and oversized front paws laying on his back in a cluster of flowers. Sketch B shows the wolf from the side, laying on his back in a patch of flowers, but this time reaching a paw up to bat at a butterfly. Sketch C shows the wolf leaping in midair with a bundle of flowers in his mouth.

That’s a wrap on 2024! I’m glad to have fulfilled my one resolution, which was to put out *at least* a new trailer for Bleating Heart. Having accomplished that and made good progress on the first episode, I have high hopes for finally releasing it in 2025. Stay tuned, and see you in the new year!!

A digital illustration showing Marsha and Ten sitting back to back in a cozy window nook, surrounded by pillows, blankets, a plant, and candles. Both of them hold a steaming mug and have sleepy and content expressions. Above them, handwritten text reads, “See you in 2025!”

Winter stickers are on the way, but my local FedEx offices have been in shambles the past couple weeks (they’ve delayed three unrelated packages of mine indefinitely) so I’m not optimistic they’ll be sent out to buyers by Xmas. Apologies for the wait, I hope to have them in the shop very soon!

November's Ramble has been posted for all Ko-fi supporters, featuring winter's seasonal sticker concepts! Supporters can vote for which design they want to be produced until the poll closes on Wednesday, December 4th. #bleatingheartseries #supportindieanimation #webseries #stickershop

Image shows three digital concept sketches for a sticker design. The first one is titled “Gingerbread Friends” and shows Marsha, an anthro sheep, and Ten, a floating wolf head, as cute gingerbread cookies on a holiday themed serving tray. The second one is called “Do you wanna build a snow-Ten?” and shows Ten begrudgingly serving as the head of a snowman while Marsha places a top hat on him. The last one is called “Cocoa and Cuddles” and shows Marsha and Ten sitting back to back on a blanketed bench in front of a snowy window, each holding a steaming mug of hot cocoa with their eyes closed peacefully.
