SPACE KING

[@Flashgitz]

Sign up to our patreon to access the original, uncensored episode ► www.patreon.com/flashgitz HELP US MAKE MORE SPACE KING! We made this pilot episode entirely with our own money and a dedicated team of artists who poured their souls into the project. We want to keep this project utterly independent to the tell the stories and jokes WE want to tell without meddling. However, animation is incredibly expensive and without a big studio backing us we cannot afford to keep making episodes without help. IF you want more episodes of Space King, please consider joining our Patreon so we can keep this passion project going and deliver something you love. This is just the beginning.
