Hi everyone, here is another long overdue update on the OC project I've been working on in my downtime.

It has been a good while since the last update on this. For a long time now, I've mainly been chipping away at this inbetween working on my regularily scheduled animations, but I've been finding it quite frustrating to work on it in this way. Since I'm still working on the story for it, every time I come back to it I have to figure where exactly I left off how I had planned for it to continue. While it is nice to get a fresh look at it and work out some of the things I might have missed the last time, it has made progress on it slow. Lately, I've been thinking to switch between this and my regular animations a bit more frequently so I can make more steady progress on it.

So you may notice that this update has a lot more pages than previous updates, and there are a few reasons for this. First off all, I have been working on this a bit longer (the last few weeks or so). However, these pages are also fairly less detailed. In most of the earlier pages I was working with a lot of establishing shots. Since the main things I needed to figure out for those was the setting and composition, I could get pretty detailed with it, and I did so partly to also do a bit of worldbuilding as well with the setting and architecture. Since the character's movements were also mostly limited to 'walk here' or 'interact with this' I could also afford to be a bit more detailed with her too.

However, as we are now reaching the climax of the story (both literally and figuratively if you catch my meaning) I'm being pretty sparse with the detail. Since I don't really have any clue how to storyboard action and fight scenes, I'm mainly just trying to capture some vibes here if anything, and just work out the details when I get to animating it. I'll probably just reference a bunch of other animators works who are far more experienced and skilled when it comes to that stuff.

The last few pages here are mostly dialogue, but I have yet to write any of it so I mainly just outlined a few different shots, angles, and expressions and will sort them out some a bit more thoroughly when I figure out they're gonna say.

Throughout these pages, I've also been pretty sparse with the details on the character's outfit. If you look back on the previous pages you can see I've changed my mind on some of the clothing details multiple times and, truth be told, I'm still not entirely certain on it even though I've put together a rough character sheet. While I am certain on of a few design elements and the overall vibe of the character, I'm going to wait until I have all the boards done to come to a decision on the more practical elements of it.

In any case, I'm getting pretty close to finishing the storyboards for this project. I would say there's maybe a dozen pages left at most and it's probably the stuff you are most looking forward to seeing so I'll try to have them out a bit more of a timely manner. I'm also really looking forward to actually starting to animate this thing so I'll try and get them done sooner rather than later.

I've organized all the previous posts into a collection so feel free to check them out if you missed them!

More updates coming soon (hopefully!!)
