And so it apparently bodes well to keep your bear on a leash (or four)
Leave it to me to sit on my furry burrrr ass and ponder the many potentially cool things that will come of my work. Seemingly the first short tickle film that isn't choppy framed, scribbled in paint or just a comic book reading.
Not that these aren't achievements #winning
So anyway you wanna know the progress on ABDUCTED? full background, character rigged, mood lighting and special effects set for the first shot.
Which of course has yummy big bear paws >:3
I regret to inform all you itching, sadistic ticklephiles that screenshots from this point onwards are a no go until I am at LEAST halfway through the feature. However keep your eyes peeled in my journals to win the chance to place your own personal easter egg in the production.
Infact lets start it now!
Describe who you think the most ticklish bear in showbusiness is?
Balloo the bear? Little bear? or maybe even Rupert? Feel free to bring to light any other ticklish bears! the only rule is there must be an existing cartoon of them being tickled in order to win!
Post a link of the tickle scene, explain why you think they are the most unlucky ticklee on the planet, and paste the name of the Fursona you wish to be mentioned!
PRIZE- Have your FA username placed somewhere in ABDUCTED and recieve special thanks in the ending credits

It's Bear season
Too bad that i can´t find any information about it anywere. But for me that bear is very ticklish, just a few rubs and he is already in despair.
Oh and the name of the fursona is Icycle "Icy" Bear.
As for the most ticklish bear, It's a difficult question for sure since a lot of bears that probably would make brilliant ticklees have never seen any tickle action themselves in cartoons unfortunately. If I had to choose any bear to tickle it would be Paddington but unfortunately his paws have never been teased
Am I allowed to choose one that someone else has already chosen, because the first clip that immediately came to mind for me was the same one reddawn posted ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXpxPB6DQ_c ) It has got basically everything I want in a good tickle scene, with a perfect mix of cuteness and cruelness. The type of restraint with him pinned to the ground with rope is pretty inventive and allows for all his ticklish spots to be exposed for a start. The sadisticness of the tickler (and the bird flying around him too) is very evident, since he spends all of the clip with a devious smirk on his face and seems to take great pride in taunting him verbally as he does his thing. The crescent shape on a stick is a really cool looking tickle tool also and seems to do wonders on tickling the poor bear's feet.
The emotions on the bear are great in that clip too. Starting with the nervous fearful look he gives as the tool approaches his exposed foot, showing that he knows exactly what is about to happen and knows how sensitive he is. Then the cute continuous toe curling as his furry foot is stroked mercilessly with the tool, and the sounds of him groaning quickly turning to giggles and laughter makes for an intense-looking tickle overall.
Tbh I think not knowing the name of the series hence a lack of any context to the scene actually helps it out a fair bit. We gather that this is the beginning of a tickle torture, but we dont see how long he has been held captive for (hence how much buildup the nervous bear has suffered) or what happens afterwards. It sort of looks like he shouts something rude to his tickler and he is about to seriously suffer for it in a likely more ticklish manner :D Thats why I think he is a very unlucky bear indeed, he is in a very helpless position in what looks like a barren area and he is at the mercy of the other two characters.
All in all, despite being a basic, cheaply-animated 20 second cartoon clip it manages to pack in a lot for tickle fans. It is an adorable teddy bear in a restrained position at the mercy of an evil character who seems intent on torturing his helpless bare bear feet through the means of a good old-fashioned tickling to the soles, with some humiliation along the way. Whats not to like :D
I rambled on about that for a lot longer than I wanted to xP sorry
