A Work In Progress - We’re recreating a scene from 600 years ago on the R. Fergus, Co. Clare based on remnants of traps found in the muddy banks. We’re collaborating with Clare Library’s Archive Office and the Clarecastle - Ballyea Historical Organisation as part of a larger project for the Centennial of the first Irish Census. The final project will be presented at the Ennis Library next month. Will pass on the info for anyone interested.

Inside The Mooneys Workflow: 4-Panel Web Comic & Graphic Novel Pipeline (+ Free PSD Template!)

Ever wonder how rough storyboards get turned into finished 4-panel web comics for The Mooneys? No? Oh well, then swipe on to the next video.

But if you are interested, watch this 2-minute overview, a behind the scenes of a hybrid comic production pipeline.

Instead of using Storyboard Pro though, we've opted for Adobe Photoshop. Why?

1 Superior Brush Dynamics: Unmatched tactile feel for expressive line work and digital rendering.�
2 Graphic Novel Pipeline Prep: Setting up an identical, unified structure now makes scaling up to full-length Mooneys graphic novels seamless later on.�
Stop hunting through un-named layers!

Organisation is everything in a creative production team. To keep everyone aligned, we created a Photoshop template that keeps every Background, Ink layer, Panel border, and Speech bubble in a structured folder.

How do you visualise the invisible? In collaboration with CÚRAM Devices and Ardán, Magpie 6 Media presents a cinematic 3D exploration of SaorTrack—a revolutionary innovation in digestive disorder diagnostics.
Traditional endoscopies and colonoscopies are often limited by the physical length of the instrument, leaving significant portions of the gastrointestinal tract inaccessible. While capsule endoscopy (the "swallowable pill camera") is patient-friendly, it has historically lacked the location accuracy and video coverage required for a full diagnosis.
SaorTrack changes the game. By utilising the first on-chip sensor for magnetic navigation combined with advanced wireless communication, it provides medical professionals with real-time location tracking inside the intestines.
Our Creative Approach: To bring this complex technology to life, the Magpie 6 team developed a unique visual language that balances stylised design with technical realism.

Key highlights of this production include:
• Microchip Sequences: High-detail 3D modelling of the magnetic navigation sensors.
• HUD Integration: Custom-designed Heads-Up-Display (HUD) effects to convey data-heavy information with high production value.
• Medical Accuracy: Clear visualisation of the gastrointestinal tract to demonstrate patient impact.

The studio is dedicated to creating family friendly media such as: “The Travels of the Young Marco Polo”, “Rocka-Bye Island”, “Brewster the Rooster”, “Sir Mouse”, and “The Wee Littles”.
