2025 January Update #01 + 30% Apple Fee
Added 2025-02-15 14:12:43 +0000 UTC30% APPLE FEE
Just a quick heads-up in case you missed the news: Apple has introduced a 30% fee for subscriptions made through the iPhone. This applies through all subscriptions on your iPhone. So, to avoid the extra charge, I’d recommend switching any iPhone subscriptions over to your desktop PC.
To be clear, this isn’t me raising fees—it’s purely a corporate decision by Apple.
NEXT ANIMATION
I’m currently working on a commissioned animation featuring Juno and Sojourn, and I’m really excited about it because it’s pushing me to try new things. Normally, my animations stick to a single angle, which lets me get away with cutting corners and not worrying too much about poses since there’s only one perspective to consider. But this project is different—it’s going to have two angles, so I can’t rely on those shortcuts anymore. I’ll need to make sure everything looks good from both viewpoints, which adds a whole new layer of complexity.
While it’s definitely more challenging, I think it’s a great opportunity to practice creating clean, well-thought-out poses. It feels like a good habit to build, and I’m hopeful it’ll pay off in future projects.
I’m curious to see how it all turns out.
END
Aside from dealing with the flu for the past few days, that’s pretty much what I’ve been focused on. I’m definitely eager to start working on fluids soon—not sure exactly when, but it’s definitely on my radar.
