It’s tough to believe, but CTN-X is right around the corner! If you’re not familiar, CTN is a fantastic yearly convention uniting some of the greatest creators and producers within the animation industry. All the major studios are presented alongside a fantastic collection of independent artists and animators. In addition to a vibrant exhibition hall, CTN is home to tons of informative lectures and panels covering virtually every aspect of design and animation production.
We had an absolute blast last year and we couldn’t be more excited to head back to the show next week. We’re still working out a few details of our schedule, but we have a few special events to share:
Monster Volume Launch
Friday 11/16/12
4:00pm-6:00pm
The outpouring of support for our artbook has been more than we could have ever imagined. To celebrate, we’ll be officially launching the Monster Volume at a special signing during CTN through Stuart Ng books! Copies will be limited so if you’re interested stop by early so we can get a sketch in your book!
A Monstrous Contest
Alongside our book launch, we’ve joined CTN in a fun little creature design contest. Enter for a chance to win a copy of the Monster Volume, an original drawing and more! More details can be found here: http://www.ctnanimationexpo.com/creature-challenge/
Designing for Games vs Features, Graphic Novels and or Apps

2:00pm-2:45pm
We’ll be joining Doug Tenapel, Michel Gagne, Ryan Woodward and moderator David Breaux Jr. to talk through the ins and outs of character design across a broad range of media. With that lineup, there’s bound to be some wild stories.
How to Run a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
Sunday 11/18/12
12:30pm-1:45pm
Alongside Jed Henry, we’ll be joining our buddy Jake Parker as he moderates a no holes barred Kickstarter panel. We all look forward to digging deep into the nitty gritty of Kickstarter while sharing insight into our crowdfunding rollercoaster rides.
