Mini doodle of two Filipino kids and a brown cub, smiling. On the left is Carmy, who’s wearing a dusty purple sleeveless hoodie and long-sleeved grayish indigo shirt. They’re waving hello. Right next to them is Emilyn, who’s wearing dark grayish-pink glasses, a white sweater, and a blue pinafore skirt. She’s carrying the little cub in her arms. They’re drawn in a scribbly art style, with autumn leaves falling around them.

Thank you all for 100+ followers! It was an absolute blast seeing so many amazing projects on Indie Animation Day.

As for us, a short proof of concept starring our main trio is currently in development. We’re very excited for what’s to come! 🧡✨

Digital illustration of two kids and a cub lying on the grass, looking up at the sky. Carmen is upside down, holding a dark gray pen. They’re wearing a dusty purple sleeveless hoodie and a long-sleeved indigo shirt. Emilyn is right-side up and across from them, fidgeting with her hands. She has a pair of indigo glasses and is wearing a white sweater and a light blue skirt with suspenders. A little brown cub is right above her. In the bottom left, there’s a logo reading “Scout”, following the diagonal composition.

🍁 NEW INDIE CARTOON! 🍁

“Scout” is a coming-of-age animatic film set over the course of one crisp autumn, following an unlikely bond between two small-town kids and a wild cub.

We condemn the use of AI in any production like ours. All forms of art take time, and practice makes progress. And creative, talented individuals deserve to be treated with respect.

It’s alright, no worries! After looking it over a little more, we agree too. We’ll continue playing with the color values for our short. Thank you for providing your input! 💖

Two color thumbnails of Emilyn, “The Cub”, and Carmen at the creek during the Autumn season. The bottom one has a slightly orange tint.

Color design is one of the key steps to creating a cartoon. Here are some explorations!

Which one is your favorite? 🍁✨
