0:00Ross explains how sponsorship funded paid guest animators for the AFK Journey character project.
2:04Carolina's black backgrounds require manual coloring because animation mode lacks a fill tool.
2:47Ross tries to interpret Juny's loose-circle storyboard sketches for Chippy.
5:28After more than eleven hours of drawing, the artists gather to review their completed albums.
8:22Inkora's Viperian sequence features cross-hatching, flowing hair and glowing eyes.
24:12Checkers's King Thoran album combines weighty poses, green eye effects and an energy shockwave.

Every black patch is hand-drawn. In RubberRoss's "Animators in Gartic Phone, with a Budget.. (No Time Limit)", drawing Carolina brings an awkward discovery: animation mode has no paint-bucket fill tool. Even with the clock restrictions removed, the software finds another way to make the artists work.

There were no new uploads this week, but this older collaboration remains the busiest of the channel's active videos. AFK Journey sponsored the project, allowing Ross O'Donovan to pay the guest animators for their work. The session stretches beyond eleven hours before the group gathers to see what everyone has made.

The pleasure is in the contrast between rough beginnings and elaborate results. Ross tries to decipher Juny's loose-circle sketches for Chippy; later, the albums deliver flowing hair, glowing eyes, ice effects and dramatic weapon trails. EYECAGER, JOSE, INKORA and the other artists turn a browser drawing game into a remarkably involved shared animation desk.

Across the channel, the week brought about 100,000 views, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing currently below its usual level. Among similarly sized variety-gaming channels, Slushy Noobz and Be Prepared had much busier weeks, while RubberRoss's activity came entirely from existing uploads.

"Pro Artists play Meccha Chameleon" supplies another art-meets-game experiment, using paint to hide from hunters. The older "Schlatt let me ruin his Minecraft Server with Animation.." is also drawing views, with custom Emotecraft animations giving Ross a different canvas for his mischief.
