Pencil frame of Paolo Parapinini from my upcoming animated series Stanley Crowe 🎃

Having a brief respite from carpal tunnel pain for the first time in 3 weeks, so I'm staying up late to get as much work done on Stanley Crowe as possible. 🎃

I still have to wait 7 more damn weeks before I get to see the doctor...

Here's another sneaky-peek of scene 2 from Stanley Crowe ep.0. I realized I should be posting more actual animation with these updates, so they'll be a little beefier from now on 🎃

Paolo Parapinini introducing himself on the tightrope, spreading his arms out like the ham he is.

Paolo doing a twirl on the tightrope.

Paolo's tightrope twirl coming full-circle. What a show-off.

Happy Friday 13, my lovelies!

Scene 2 for Stanley Crowe is pencilled! You can watch the whole thing by supporting the series

🎃 linktr.ee/jfrancisfright 🤡

BTW I've already got 45 seconds of animation done, so this pilot will be a lot longer than expected!

#Animation #IndieAnimation #StanleyCrowe

Givin this another bump. If u wanna support a trans indie animator making a queer-centric animated series about escaping a toxic relationship and learning to trust & love again, please consider supporting me. I'm doing this all by myself & any bit helps 💛🤍💜🖤

Forgot to share these earlier, the pre-colored pencil drawing of Parapinini's Nocturnal Circus from this BG. 🎪 I'm quite pleased with this design, NGL.

#Clown #Circus #StanleyCrowe

Pencils for the first sequence are complete! Today I'll have the pencils done for the second sequence, and by the weekend I'll have the entire first scene of Stanley Crowe ep.0 all drawn.

Big progress, I'm so excited! 🎃👻🤡

#StanleyCrowe #Animation #IndieAnimation

I guess you could call this a delayed #FurryFuckboyFriday drawing. It's been hard to make the time, what with working on #StanleyCrowe and my current commission queue. But hey, smut finds a way, so I'll still do it when I can! ;3

Be patient with Stanley, they're in pain...

The rough animatic for Stanley Crowe ep.0 is done! If you wanna see the whole thing, all it takes is a $3.00 pledge to my-

A pencil animation drawing of my spooky boi Stanley Crowe, crying fearfully as he runs up a hill, looking over his shoulder. There's a blue pencil, an eraser and a number counter reading 0001

Here it is, the first official frame of animation for Stanley Crowe ep.0 is done! The first baby step of this giant project I've committed to, hell yeah! 🎃(I'll be doing the layouts first, then joining everything together).

A pencil sketch of a balding, mustachioed man with pince-nez glasses and a cheeky grin.

I'm working on official reference sheets for the 3 main characters of Stanley Crowe & I cannot WAIT to share Stanley's abusive ex-boyfriend Paolo with you. Here's a sneak preview, you're gonna love to hate this guy SO much 😜

An open sketchbook with a wireless keyboard plopped precariously on top.

A drawing board on my lap with some storyboard drawings and pencils on top.

My drawing box, stuffed with pencils, pens and other drawing tools. Various storyboard drawings are scattered around.

I'm currently camped out on the futon in my studio, pulling another all-nighter working on the storyboard for Stanley Crowe. Here's some pics showing how cluttered I like my surroundings (plus a few sneaky-peeks at the upcoming cartoon) 😉

Here it is, after months of delays and teasing, the official announcement for the project that'll pretty much be taking up my entire year of 2026 - Stanley Crowe, the animated series!

Scanned and colored this sketch to see how well a traditionally-inked animation frame would turn out. Shit, I mean... NOTHING. Pay no attention to that previous sentence, that was a typo. Certainly not another hint about what's coming, you big sillies.

#StanleyCrowe #IndieAnimation #Animation

Stanley Crowe with an extra big adventure hat, thinking "Boy oh boy oh BOY... What have I gotten myself INTO?"

Up too late working on my big project (cuz I spent most of the day working on commissions). I'm genuinely super excited and also a little nervous about it, can't wait to share it. Embrace the butterflies, Stanley! 🎃

Stanley Crowe playing the bouzouki like they're some kinda rock star. They probably sound terrible, but at least they're having fun.

Next month I'll be making a major announcement regarding the secret project I'm working on, but in the meantime here are some COMPLETELY UNRELATED expression charts for Stanley Crowe I made 5 years ago 😉

Gonna be posting a lot more Stanley Crowe stuff which, by COMPLETE COINCIDENCE, is leading up to the announcement of my big 2026 project.

What could it mean??? ;3

#IndieAnimation #Animation #StanleyCrowe #TraditionalAnimation #Halloween

Saw this and I thought it'd look great on Stanley's boyfriend Menlo. I think it suits him well, tho I couldn't resist adding a few... accessories ;3

A comic of Stanley Crowe and his boyfriend seeking refuge from an oncoming storm inside a warm cave. They get naked and cuddle y the fire while their pal Vivian the snake reads over the map.

The only thing better than finding shelter in a warm cave? Finding shelter in the arms of the man you love 🧡 FINALLY finished this old Sunday-style Stanley Crowe comic!

I was looking for an idea for a warm-up sketch, and hey, the perfect prompt showed up on my feed! Stanley Crowe here in the subject of my upcoming comic, so it seemed appropriate 🎃

#Halloween #StanleyCrowe #GayArt #QueerArt #TransArt

Some loose sketches of my character Stanley Crowe.

Some warm-up sketches of Stanley Crowe 🎃

#Sketch #Sketchbook #Drawing #Art #StanleyCrowe

A 3-page comic of Menlo the Jester and his Boyfriend Stanley Crowe. In the first panel Menlo, holding three juggling rings if Stanley is ready to practice their ring juggling. Stanley looks ready and eager. In the second panel Menlo hurls the rings toward the viewer with gusto! In the third panel we see that the rings have all landed around Stanley, tying him up rather tightly. Menlo is grinning cheekily in the foreground, clearly pleased. His speech bubble says "Perfect".

Menlo is a good Jester & a great boyfriend, but not the best teacher ;3

I'm pretty proud of this silly #Comic, since I pencilled the entire thing in the car, holding a travel-size #Sketchbook in my lap.

Pencil and pen sketch of Stanley Crowe leaping at the viewer brandishing a sword. His right hand and left foot are way in the foreground, his sword is in his left hand way behind him.

YAAAAAAAAAAA 🎃

A colored illustration of Stanley Crowe locked in a pillory outdoors, getting snowed on. A gallows with a noose is in the midground, a hooded figure looking ominously on. There's a city in the background, dominated by a clock tower, the bell chiming 3:00, causing birds to scatter from the tower.

The bell is ringing, the hour has come. Gonna have to think fast to save your neck, Stanley...

An older sketch I still like, re-uploaded to include alt text and cuz pillories are hot 🖤

A finalized design for one of my original characters, Menlo. A scrawny, heavily tattooed jester in shabby goth clothing.

Finalized my design for Menlo, boyfriend of my pumpkin boy Stanley Crowe. The jester cap was the final essential touch to complete his look.
