Last month, we shared some music themed around our leading vampire, Vex! This month's playlist is all about our beloved werewolf, Clyde. Take a look on Spotify! 🐺🌘 open.spotify.com/playlist/3QL...

All stories start with an idea... 📖 Have a tour through the many sketchbooks our director has gone through over the years, including plenty of concept sketches of what "Thicker Than Blood" has come to be!

Our director interviewed our amazing composer, Franco Grimoldi Calo, who does a deep dive on the world of music and how he makes his own! 🎶 To check out more of his work, click here: www.francogrimoldicalomusic.com

Beware the executioner! 🪓 The executioner is a central part of the oppressive empire that Thicker Than Blood takes place. He silences the many voices that wish to show their true selves.

Love #rockyhorrorpictureshow and want to watch it again? Curious but never got around to seeing it? Bored and need something to do? Come up to the lab, and lay on the slab with other horrorheads! We hope to see you shiver with antici...PATION!!! discord.gg/jPdg7pcqt6

Storyboard revisions are very important during the animation process, as it helps make the visuals more clean and readable. See how our storyboarders are making progress on one of our early scenes of the pilot!

🚫 We are #antiai! 🚫 Our goal here at STUDIO MADBAT is to share our passion of storytelling through visual mediums. AI cannot replace human passion and creativity. We as a studio believe that we do not need AI to make beautiful works of art for human eyes.

With our world experiencing discrimination and bigotry now more than ever, "Thicker Than Blood" shines a light on these issues and emphasizes the challenges that minorities face. Learn more as our show creator discusses his own struggles and what his biggest motivators are working on his show! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

We hope that everyone is showing their pride this Pride Month! We know one character that is... Introducing the amazing fabulous Gagoobie! Straight from the capital center, you can find Gagoobie in all of his glory at the colosseum!

We're hard at work bringing our 3D animated series to life! Vex and Clyde already have models and we're slowly bringing color to Clyde! Want to support us and our amazing staff and see what else we have in store? Join our Patreon and follow us on Twitch!

TTB has a large cast of neurodivergent characters. With neurodiversity, it can be easier to develop mental illness. We acknowledge the very real realities that come with these struggles. Our lead characters, Vex and Clyde, have to understand and grow with their mental health throughout our series. ⬇️

Clyde is an autistic and isolated werewolf that has many PTSD and psychosis episodes throughout the series. Mixed with his neurodivergence, makes him unpredictable and odd to any outsiders. Since werewolf culture isn't known, he struggles with being misunderstood and isolated from others.
