Comic Dubs and Cat Bodies

Posted on by Clint | Uncategorized

Now that we’ve got a lot of the groundwork almost laid out, this week we have begun tackling some of the fun stuff. I’m talking stretch goals. I’m talking comic dubs.

Now, you can’t hear the comic dubs (yet!), but the recording is complete and we are working on putting it all together. I can provide a little taste of the work that goes into this, however. This is a voice sample of Mike Kovach (Rocky) doing an amazing job on the “Sophistry” Q&A comic (link here).

Of course there is collateral damage to such god-tier voice acting. Remember those who must make sacrifices for love…

We also have a video uploaded celebrating three years of our Lackadaisy Discord! (The audio balancing is a little off, so be careful turning the volume up too high if you have headphones on—our mics were too powerful!)

On the art end of things, Newt has been working on the 3D shading for the Fordor. Cue the saxophones from Taxi Driver.

The other half of our amphibious duo, Frog, is setting up Mitzi’s office for us. Here’s a teaser:

No offense to Ikea, but Mitzi’s office is way better than mine.

As for character design, Tai has supplied us with sketches of the most serious man with the fluffiest face: Viktor Ladislav Vasko.

It’s like someone put a bobcat face on a wheat thresher body. Is that even allowed?

And just for funsies, Fable ran an art stream this week and drew the characters as CATS! That is, I mean… actual cats. With cat bodies.

Anyway, here’s some silly-bugger nonsense kitties.

And that’s just the first sketch. You can find more at https://twitter.com/fablepaint

Finally, I leave you with a Sepiatonic music video. This particular song is unrelated to the project–but it does slap hard.

If you did not know, Sepiatonic is doing the soundtrack for the Lackadaisy film, and our last (unmet) stretch goal is a music video featuring their music. If your wallets don’t have cartoonishly-timed moths flying out of them, please consider donating so we can meet our final goal.
