Episode 11 Update - 02/09/24

View Unblocked Image [SPOILER WARNING] 

Right now we’re still very deep in character animation.  I didn't do as well in January as I'd hoped, but I've now completed Scene C and Scene X.  Here's the current state of all scenes:

-Scene A is complete, save for special effects.

-Scene B is almost complete.  I am doing this right now.  I plan to have the character animation completed by next update.

- Scene C is complete, save for special effects. A good chunk of it was done on stream, but a lot more of it had to be done on my own.  I may go back with some adjustments when I do that special effects pass.

- Scene D is currently in the hands of another animator.  We are very deep in it.  A lot of it is done, but I won't be touching it again until he gets it back to me.  I have a lot of confidence in this scene.

- Scene F is currently in my hands. A chunk of it is complete, a chunk will be completed on stream, and a chunk will be completed off stream.  It's going quite well, the hardest pieces of it seem to be done, and now I just need more time to flesh it out.

- Scene X is complete.  I want to do a little bit more with a certain part of it when I do a special effects pass, but right now it’s in the hands of my composer, who is scoring it.  I was waiting for this scene to be completed before starting the scoring, because the score of the episode will be based on this scene.  I've been going back and forth with my composer and am excited to see what comes of this.

I can see this getting finished within the next couple of months.  I really hope I am not underestimating things.  I feel like, once again, I am getting very anal and particular about the character animation and nitpicking a lot.  I'm not sure what this means the final product, but we're making progress and it's looking exactly the way I need it to.  So many of these scenes are coming together exactly the way it looked in my head, so that's a good sign.

Mentally, I'm not doing all that well, and I don't really feel like I'm at my best right now.  I really need to work on some of my own issues, but in the meantime, I'm going to keep animating.  I deeply, deeply appreciate your patience.  I wanted to be way further along by now and have a lot more bonus materials for patrons.  I will keep trying my best, as this project is very important to me.  Thank you so much.
