Amrit stepping up this week, eager to win the title screen battle... Whatever the hell that is.

As it has been for the past weeks, draft is done, my proofer has returned and I'll be sending the draft off. Aside from noting when I get my edited draft back I'll probably not be yammering about this any further, save us all a little time.

Renders are 1913 finished of the 2000 posed. I'm not sure I'm completely satisfied with the current batch of 50 or so I'm working on right now, I may want to retouch the lighting, but the could just be from staring at them all day. I find that revisiting with fresh eyes changes perspective often so we'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. The next scene is the boogieman of the update (there's always one) in which I'm hoping to fit 15-20 people on screen for a decent amount of time. I expect it will be... maddening, and slow going. But the juice is worth the squeeze and other such platitudes.

Animations are at 15. That completes two full scenes and moves me to what I expect will be the "crown jewel" so to speak. I want to make sure these one's really shine, so I'll be dedicating a few extra hours a week to them. In fact I'll be working on it the second we're done here.

That's all the update info. Just FYI, I'll be doing this months art stream this Sat, April 8th at 12pm MST/19:00 BST in the usual place. I hate doing this earlier in the month, but as the update gets closer to conclusion I have less time to spare.
Hopefully I'll see a few of you there.

Minor edit I was informed that this Sunday is Easter so I had to push it a day forward to Sat.

Thank you as always for the support and I hope you all have a lovely April.

Sláinte!
