Challenges and Hurdles

Added 2020-01-11 01:28:37 +0000 UTC

I'm finally out of training at my day job. It's tough though. I'm commission based and January and February are the slowest months of the year and yet I still have to be there about 50-55 hours per week. It's not too much physically, but mentally and emotionally I'm being drained. Thursday and Sundays (sometimes only Sundays) are my days off and really only days I can put any work into animations.

I'm at a crossroads. My Patreon income is getting up there (and I really want to offer more) but I still need the day job to survive the bills. I think after I'm done with The Intruder, I'll be doing smaller/shorter animations so I can release content more frequently. Because rendering for over 20 days is getting a bit old. XD

I would also like to make my Patreon more affordable to more people. Offering the same rewards for less. Depending on how things proceed the next few months, I believe I can switch to art full time and really pump out content.

Some exciting news with all of this! I'm going to be collaborating with SkaryUdra, who is an amazing rigger. I also have a fair number of models getting made. Here's a small list:
