I still think about good ol' Sheriff Hayseed now and then. If I ever revisit it, I'd do so many things different, it would be completely unrecognizable. I drew the boys as they exist in my head now. I think Todd would be Canadian.

Damn, bro. All the anthro content I used to consume when I was younger seems to be turning more and more into the real life variants of the animal counterparts. I appreciated your artstyle then, and I still do now. Animalistic is not the way, bro. Don't pull a Star Fox 2026.

yeah i could see where you're coming from. New Falco's face is a bit... maybe his eyes are too small. He's odd lol. It's important to tie those realistic elements to something meaningful in the story, or lore. They shouldn't be animals for no reason.

Fair, but there's a certain point where I disengage from furry content for straying too close to animalistic. It stops feeling like a character and more like an uncanny valley curse. Like, don't get me wrong, this still looks charming; but it's really not preferred. Best of luck with this, though

I honestly really like the new redesign except for the legs which I think could be a bit more chunky in portion to body size. Couple other small things but I do think leaning a bit more into the animal side works for giving contrast between the different characters

Jeez, a lot of hate and impatience coming from people in these comments. Animating is an insane amount of work on platforms that are continuously making it untenable. And it's totally normal to go through art style changes as your interests change over the years. Keep doing you!

Still currently the greatest project I've had the honour and the pleasure of being a part of. I love seeing how far the characters have come even after all this time. You think Todd would be Canadian, eh? I doubt I'd have trouble pulling that off. ;)

it is exact reason i would want him canadian now lol. That and I think playing up the canadian politeness trope for his character would be cute, contrasting that with a rougher, meaner wild west setting.

is there any plot beats or status quo changes that are different than previous incarnations? as u said these two seem insanely different than hat we're familiar with, love their vibe

Without saying anything is settled or even remotely going to happen, yes pretty much everything would be different lol. As I currently imagine it, it's much darker and plays heavier into a grungy, dangerous wild west setting with Todd remaining as the polite little guy caught in it.

Like, everything is so up in the air I'm not even sure the boomerang thing still works. Probably the only thing staying the same is the vibe of the main 4, Todd, Shawn, Joy and Lloyd. I always thought they had strong dynamics but the setting needed life, something to make it unique for a western

That concept with Hayseed sure does look a lot more interesting! I feel like it would lead to more of a western folktale. It would be awesome if Hayseed ever gets picked up again! Wondering how the story would play out besides the action. :o

I love the Hayseed animations, both the stories in them and all the visual gags. I think the more cartoony style fits them better for animation, but this style would look great in a comic.

glitch productions mini series ok but in all seriousness I love this style and direction, plus sheriff hayseed has a soft spot in my heart. This also has vibes of something that would be produced by cartoon saloon (hey and a name to match!) which is really good

Mike I doubt you’ll reply to this but Sheriff Hayseed is the reason why I wanted to become an animator in the first place and this just brought me a smile to see my favorite Sheriff again :)

I figure they already looked different in each appearance, so if I revisit them in a big way I might as well rethink EVERYTHING. From the core concept to characterization. I've learned a lot since those old shorts.

Amazing Digital Circus just top box offices for their finale on Thursday against a Star Wars movie and the new Masters of the Universe movie. Those kinds of numbers are going to make big names notice and help back indies more hopefully. Hell Iron Lung was number one on opening weekend until the >>
