September Mid-Month Update...! And a New Wormy Future...!?
Added 2022-09-27 15:56:23 +0000 UTCgreetings, folks, this is the usual post where I talk about where I'm at currently with things gettin done and what's gonna be comin out as the month winds down...
first things first, due to my schedule getting kind of jumbled around from posting Midna so late, as well as some IRL stuff causing me to stream later than usual, I'm gonna need more time for Yamato and 18!I could try to cram one in at the end here, but I'd really rather not just rush it just for the sake of it. As always, if you can't stick around, the animations are gonna go in this folder! https://sta.sh/26zgqe8c7d1
Instead, as a little bonus, I'm just gonna do another request stream on the 30th! Same general time, 5PM EST! This'll let me catch up on the streams and give some more folks who missed the last one another chance to hang out! I'll put up another submissions post for that tomorrow!
I'm also just gonna spend the time sketchin some more vore stuff that I didn't get a chance to yet (like Smauggie lol).
This brings up the question if next month I'll do an animation poll, which I think I will but I won't try and finish all those animations the same month lol. In fact, this brings me to another thing I've been thinking about! '
Obviously, due to various things this year like mental health and just a general increase in complexity in the animations, it's gotten harder for me to do two animations every month. For that I apologize! Two animations, on top of trying to fit in audio now, and then just having to stream and sketch pics regularly, it's easy for me to get off schedule. People have suggested I switch to just one a month, but I'm very resistant to that because I wouldn't like the polls to have just one 'winner'. However, because of the non-stop animation grind I also can't do a lot of the sketches and comics I'd like to do, and I'd really rather this page not become JUST animations or JUST comics... So I've been thinking about doing a sort of 'one month on, one month off' schedule, where every other month we do the regular animation poll, and then I'll have two months to finish both those animations. I'd finish one that first month and the other the following month without the poll. And during the month without a poll, I could focus more on sketches and comics I'd like to draw (like Thanksgibbon coming up). This would give me WAY more time to touch up the animations I'd like, and I'd also feel way more free to experiment if I don't have to finish it all the final week. This also keeps it so polls are still fun for everyone to join, and there's no one 'winner'.
But yeah, that's my plan! Sorry for the wall of text lol. I'd like to hear what you guys think! If this sounds like a good way forward to keep the balance of everything on the page, it'd probably start next month! Which is good timing, because November was going to be focused on the Thanksgibbon comic anyway! As always, thanks to everyone for your patience and sticking around during this Weird Year(tm), I think this new idea can help me get a bit more consistent and creative than I've been recently, so here's hoping!! Be back soon with some sketchies... Worm out. *turns into a squid and flops away*

I like this idea it will give us better animation which is great and removes the stress of finishing them quickly. I notice a different in quality in some of the animations where the stress of finishing probably got at you and that is no good especaily your health. I believe that taking your time is a good idea and go for it I mean there is no down side we getmaybe more drawings and a comic series so it's a win overall.

2022-09-28 16:20:35 +0000 UTCI am always for ideas that give a quality over quantity feel to them and this certainly sounds like that. Anything that helps relieve stress is definitely a step in the right direction as well.

2022-09-28 03:28:00 +0000 UTCSounds like a great plan! You definitely don't want to overwork yourself and honestly two animations of the quality you put out per month on top of the other stuff you do has always seemed kinda crazy to me. Plus I personally tend to prefer Worm Original(TM) content anyways so I'm excited for you to have more time to do your own ideas!

2022-09-27 23:45:39 +0000 UTCYou should start doing project animations do mostly sketches then release 1 longer detailed voiced acted video every 2-3months sure not many would complain to a longer animation over quantities of shorter ones! Plus gives you time to work on what you want with farther out deadlines

2022-09-27 23:34:00 +0000 UTCA poll every other month is totally fine with me. Especially if it means less stress for you over the long term, AND!! more time to work on your own comics!! If I'm being 100% honest, I look forward to the OC comics even more than the animations

2022-09-27 23:29:03 +0000 UTCThat sounds a-okay to me. You put a lot of effort into the animations and you deserve to have a bit of a rest after you finish with one!!

2022-09-27 18:38:55 +0000 UTCHooray another stream! I’m definitely going to try to make it to this one. (Oops I meant to add another line and hit send instead…) I meant to also say that I think that plan sounds great in terms of the animations. We may be the patrons, but you’re still the artist after all! I’m all for changes that help you balance things out and let you have more freedom to make what you want.

2022-09-27 17:08:25 +0000 UTCI 100% support doing alternating months for animations! Please take care of yourself, and don't sacrifice your health ❤️

2022-09-27 16:30:23 +0000 UTCThat's the plan! I'd basically be doing one animation a month, but the animation poll would happen every other month and still have 2 winners.

2022-09-27 16:21:41 +0000 UTCconsidering how long youve been trying to do two a month, i think you more than deserve a break, and i am all for the 1 on 1 off idea, it'll surely help you get the two anim winners done but in a more reasonable time as well. do whatever you need to do to keep yourself sane lol, your workload with just patreon is intense and i know id hardly be able to do a fraction of what you do even if i could draw worth anything lol

2022-09-27 16:13:22 +0000 UTCSounds great! Whatever is best for you. Especially if every other month means we keep getting the great quality animations with less stress and burden on yourself.

2022-09-27 16:11:40 +0000 UTCHonestly it would probably be better if you split it between 2 months. Definitely make sure you are taking care of your self.

2022-09-27 16:04:36 +0000 UTCFrankly I was surprised you kept that on for so long on top of your usual tasks I think the variety will help both you as a content creator and us as an audience

2022-09-27 16:01:35 +0000 UTCBless you for opting to do another one this month! I'll have to tune in during work again, but I'll do it!

2022-09-27 16:01:33 +0000 UTCi think that sounds like a good idea! i’m all for stuff that allows you more creative freedom and less pressure.
