Author: James Candland April 2, 2026 Duration: 20:22

Welcome back to Rupees Over Ramen, we had a little hiatus there for a while. I've been making a comic for the Anthem Knights story and have been taking a break from most other things. But we are back with Episode 68 and the finale of my discussion with my friend Prasanth in India. In this episode we talk about concept art, VFX, and Avatar Way of Water plus tons of other good stuff!


I'm still trying to find where this podcast fits, recently it hasn't reached as many people so if you are listening to it and reading this please share it with your friends and family and let me know in a comment what you enjoy most from the podcast.

3 Nephi 9:15

15 Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name.


Welcome to Rupees Over Ramen, the show where we discuss Animation, Storytelling, and tons of other nerdy stuff.

We'll be talking with fellow artists, musicians and storytellers. Good times are ahead, so grab a nice hot bowl of ramen, some chopsticks, and join in on the discussion every month ✌


James Candland hosts Rupees Over Ramen, a monthly conversation built for anyone who lives in the imaginative worlds of animation and story. This isn't a formal lecture, but more like pulling up a chair in a studio lounge. Each episode, James connects with fellow artists and storytellers, digging into the craft behind the cartoons and the narratives that stick with us long after the screen goes dark. The discussions are rooted in a genuine love for the medium, often veering into the wonderfully nerdy details that true enthusiasts appreciate. You'll hear about the triumphs and challenges of creative work, the influences from games and genre fiction hinted at by the title, and the personal journeys that shape the stories we see on screen. Tune into this podcast for honest, meandering talks that feel like talking shop with friends-the perfect companion while you're sketching, commuting, or yes, even enjoying a bowl of ramen. It’s a dedicated space for the visual storytelling community, celebrating the process as much as the final product.
