James and Peppy attempt going through customs without any trouble.
It was interesting going back to this mostly finished scene and adding some Blender animation in with the Flash portions. The last shots with the horse and hyena characters, as well as Peppy walking through the scanner are examples of what the Blender animations will look like.

There are still some background details and effects to put in, but I figured I'd share my progress on one of the ten or so scenes I'm working on right now. Plenty more to come.
First testing of hand-controller and eyeballing of fur/face pattern. Still got a long way to go, but making progress.
The puppets will be featured in short skits that will be uploaded to this channel in between the 2d animated episodes, in order to keep people interested while they wait for the cartoon.
Another update for the people on Patreon to show how the A Fox in Space puppets are coming along. This is the next stage of my prototype Wolf O'Donnell. I have an airbrush kit now, as well as the fleece and faux fur I'm going to practice airbrushing.

UPDATE:
With the script out of the way, we begin voice recording for episode 102 of "A Fox in Space" today. Once all of the audio has been taken care of, we will then move on to the final stage: Animating!
This is the full 13-minute audio track for episode 101 of "A Fox in Space" with all English voices removed, so you can make a non-English dub for your native country, or just some really insane meme garbage. I don't care! Happy dubbing! Go crazy!!!A Fox in Space OST - Opening Credits #2A Fox in Space2016-05-03 | Opening credits music for episode 102, "Fixing a Hole."
Episode summary: "James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar are sent on a dangerous mission to Venom in this flashback episode."
With the completion of episode 101, work has already begun on the second episode in my series. I have gotten faster at my work, and have a few animator friends helping out with the frames this time around, so the production of episode 102 should take much less time. In the meantime, enjoy this track I made.

I don't usually do this because sometimes the characters' voices overlap or interrupt one another in the cartoon, making this method impossible to use, but sometimes it's just fun to do for a laugh.
No, Fox McCloud doesn't have robotic legs in my cartoon.

I obviously did some post editing after livestreaming/recording the footage, but just breath-removal and hi/lo filtering to get that old 70's/80's sound.
Took an hour's worth of takes to get the timing right, but I've always wanted to make one of these. Enjoy!
