Re: New animated short.
Hey Pox, I have actually. I even have a few story lines written out. Unfortunately, my ideas for EQ all turn out far too epic to cover in a short with no budget. The goal is to keep making these shorts, until I can eventually sell a feature pitch. With a feature under my belt I would feel much more ...
