#StuGo- Pantelevision
Boarders @natemorebikes.bsky.social and Ron Stanage made a channel surfing episode with mostly reused designs (heroes)- so not much BTS- But here are designs by @sbosma.bsky.social and @nooree.bsky.social, and a pick-up script made by Bobby Mageau that I thought looked funny.

#StuGo - Chunk Beastknuckles - BTS 1

Some of @sbosma.bsky.social - guides and early concept art.

#StuGo - Primate Fear - BTS 1

Evolution of Bakey, and Skeletal Walrus sketch by @sbosma.bsky.social. Storyboard panel of Bakey by director @wolfhard.bsky.social. Some cute shorthanded characters from William Gibbon's color script.

Some beautiful visdev on this episode from Art Director @sbosma.bsky.social, and color supervisor @breannacheek.bsky.social. Dramatic screenshots from William Gibbon's colorscritp, and finally - Francis' throne - line by Sarah Webb, and color by Sarah Doo

#StuGo - Shell-Shock! - BTS 1

Crabecca and the Eel designed by Justin Noel and @sbosma.bsky.social. I think Death was too. And last up is a little screenshot of a storyboard panel that I had saved because I thought it was cute- either by Ron Stanage, Nate Bulmer, or director @funcoland.bsky.social

#StuGo - Phishin' Chip - BTS 1

Graphic cards by @sbosma.bsky.social. Lullah's club- lines by Jesse Balmer / paint by Yudi Chen. KORM's design took some back and forth between Sam and @wolfhard.bsky.social, but the only evidence I have left of that exchange is this sketch of a jaw.

Cool Stugo viz dev. This show rules - I'm grateful we have such a smart art director @sbosma.bsky.social and fun wild openminded creator @gillizama.bsky.social. Oh yeah btw plz hire me to viz dev real-life-grounded-cargo-ship based projects et al

"Deep Trent" was one of the first episodes I got to color supervise on #StuGo! Though I joined midway through the season, the team was so incredibly welcoming (and SO talented, holy moly). Excited to share more as new episodes come out! Art directed by @sbosma.bsky.social

#StuGo - Disaster Play - BTS 1

@sbosma.bsky.social put a lot of thought into what exactly would differentiate a Chimp from a Chimp-Mutant. Here is some of his previs.

Final design by Justin Noel, color by Emily Wang (who I think had the nail polish breakthrough).

#StuGo - The Sash - BTS 1

BIG MITCHELL!! We had no idea what kind of Mutant he should be, but Sam saw it in his mind very clearly.

Original sketches by @sbosma.bsky.social, a sketchbook drawing from @funcoland.bsky.social, final design by @richiepope.bsky.social, colored by Daphne Mckinnie.

I'm gonna start posting behind the scenes/making-of stuff from this first season of StuGo. I'm about 6 behind so get ready for a picture dump

Normalize thinking, "none of my business."

I'm not quite sure how to start posting about STUGO, but I guess I'll just get into it. Here are some early designs for mutants. The main goal with them was to push the specific animal strangeness, picking a feature of each animal to hone in on (shark's weird forehead, gator's gullet, etc).
