EP49: INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH
<b>Our reboot of Wildfur's The Engine: Industrial Strength is back on the table, and we show our hands (a bit) with some teaser chat about the project.</b><br /><br />Wildman and Furman - back together! (Were we ever apart?) Our co-created motion comic is getting a fresh coat of paint this year, reimagined somewhat and re-delivered - via Kickstarter - to you, our wonderful audience. We chat about that, our appearance at the upcoming 10th anniversary TFNation, and our bumper-sized, guest-laden 50th RIGR. Can you handle all this in one podcast?<br /><br /><b>For the podcast as a video plus extra content, visit <a href="http://patreon.com/wildfurproductions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WILDFUR•NET</a></b>

EP48: THE MOVIES THAT MADE US
<b>Another wander down movie memory land as we dissect a bunch of movies (all pre-1986) that made a BIG impression on us way back when.</b><br /><br />Not for the first time, we examine movies that - we like to think - made us the creators we are today, often (very) subliminally. The lasting and sometimes traumatic cinematic scenes that were etched (seared!) onto our subconscious minds. From A Matter of Life and Death to the Jungle Book, from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to Dirty Harry, these are our origins forged in celluloid.<br /><br />Want to see this as a video and get more content? check out our special offer membership at <a href="http://patreon.com/wildfurproductions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WILDFUR.NET</a>

EP47: HOW TO DRAW COMICS THE WILDMAN WAY
<br /><b>We lean into the art side of the process this podcast, and turn the clock back to days of yore when pen, pencil and paper were king,</b><br /><br />Bristol Board, Sable brushes, Dip pens, Indian Ink, and HB pencils come under scrutiny as, from the dawn of time it feels, we pluck memories of creating comics the old fashioned (occasionally Marvel) way, and discuss the various methods and how things have evolved - and how the fundamentals still remain the same. Plus, we talk a bit about our new creative process on a new collaborative project - whoo-hoo!<br /><br />Video and extras at <a href="http://wildfur.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WILDFUR.NET</a>
