First post of the month! Before I say anything: Thank you for another month of support! This thing is growing at incredible speed, it's really exciting and heartwarming. I promise to continue bringing my best to you!
Now to the post:
As I mentioned in my previous post: Part of this month's plans is to figure out an idea for some Moika merch.
I have a couple ideas of ...

Hi! I am making this post as a quick update about past, present and future stuff related to Moikaloop and this Patreon.
Here is the recording of today's Discord Session where I took the time to talk about how I made my last music video over the span of 6 months. Using the work-in-progress section of my Discord server.
I hope you like it!

It's here. After 6 months of working non-stop in this project (with a few minor interruptions). I have finally finished my longest project so far.
I will update this post later, or create a new one, to answer more questions about it.
For now, I just want to attend one question many of you may ask:
Is there an NSFW version of it? No, not yet at least. If I manage to gather the forces to do it, it should happen in the future. But for now, this is everything I got from this pro...

Ok, everyone. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, the big update is here. Animation update #6!
All the animation work is ready, and with this, I move into the post-production phase.
If my calculations are ok, I should have the video ready in 2 weeks.
Thank you very much for sticking with me, we are almost there!

I am making this quick post just to let you know that I am super close to finish all the animation clean up for this project. This means that in my next update you will be able to see the whole thing animated ( with hair, faces, etc).
After this the project will finally begin it's post-production phase. Can't wait to show you everything! ( If you are on Discord you are probably up to date. But if not, it's coming in the next days)

I know this month has been pretty dry in terms of Patreon feed activity (As always I am much more active on my Discord server )
But before this Month ends I wanted to show you the latest update on the project so far: Animation Update #5.
I am almost getting there. Only a couple more shots for clean up, then the animation of most faces/hair. And then I will jump into the post-production stage ( Editing, Backgrounds,...

I know it may seem weird for me to thank 2020, being such a terrible year for almost everyone around the world.
But I am ending this year feeling so grateful in general. This year I have experienced growth in many ways: as an artist with my Moika animations, as a "business" with the success of this Patreon, and as a husband and as a father, and I gained a few extra pounds (not so good there D: )
I wish this could be an update post for my music video, but I can't do that, because o...

Today I reached one of the biggest goals I've had since I started this Patreon : Reaching 1000 supporters. I know it's technically not 1k right now but I still wanted to celebrate and say thank you to all in here. This has been quite a wonderful journey so far, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. If anything, I am getting more ambitious!
My 1000 Patreon goals has always been: To make longer animations and seek more storytelling animations.

Hi everyone. Before this month ends I wanted to share you the progress so far in the music video.
Right now I am getting closer and closer to complete the animation stage. It's not been easy, but you will see why in the video. I am bringing my best game to the table, and I think that the final result will be my best looking video so far!
Also, I already have more people working on other departments (lights and shadows, motion graphics and backgrounds!)
How long it will take ...

Here is an updated version of the animatic with some of the shots I've already animated (They will need cleanup and color later)

Please help me decide on the outfit that Moika will be wearing on my next music video ( Full animatic here)
Sample of some of her moves:
I am so excited to show you this. After 16 days of working on it, the animatic for my next music video is ready. And it's over 2 minutes long!
This is important to me because the animatic is the blueprint of the entire project. The timing and story are there. And now the fun part begins Animation! I will keep you posted with more updates in the future. Let me know your thoughts!
PS: Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my previous post/poll. I was not expecting that amou...
The current animation that I am working on is probably going to take me extra longer to finish. Hopefully it will be done by the end of November, since it's going to be over 2 minutes long. Therefore I am a little bit worried about the lack of content you will see here. So I need your opinions on the subject.
Do you care about regular content? Or not?
I will still upload weekly updates on this new music video that I am working on, to keep this place active, but the final product w...

At the end of the month I always do this Monthly Streams at my Discord Server.
This is the stream of September where I explained how I used After Effects on my Moika Neon Dance animation.
Attached are the files I used for this composition.
I hope you find it useful.
In preparation for next month and for future animations of Moika, I wanted to design a proper reference sheet/model sheet / settei of her.
It was not easy, to be honest, but I am happy because th...

Would you like to see more long-format animations like these in the future?

It's still MoikaTember (Probably will do a Moikaktober too). And here it's my second entry of Moika this month, but this one is more packed.
I worked a lot on this piece, and I realized that this is something that I want to do more in the future. Not only loops, but longer pieces and maybe more animations involving music!. I hope that you like this idea!

UPDATE: Topless version.
This is Moika's new haircut/design. I made a few changes to make her design more fun to animate for me, I hope you like it!
Also, It's MoikaTember! This is my anniversary month as Moika. We are turning 2 years this 2020. In Moikatember I only draw and animate stuff with Moika, so I hope I can bring you more and more during the following weeks.

2020-09-04 04:26:00 +0000 UTC View PostI haven't done this in a while, and I feel bad about that. So here it goes.
💖 THANK YOU! 💖
For the bottom of my heart, I must thank everyone in here for the monthly support that you give me and my work.
Making animations can take me a long time, stress me out in certain stages like clean up and color, make me disappear from the face of the earth until I have something to show.
Making animations is not an easy job, but
Maybe some of you will find an use to the original file of this animation of Judgement. So here it's the .blend file for Blender.
Blender is a free 3D+2D software, you can get it at https://www.blender.org/
Sorry for my messy Blender workspace, I am just learning how to use it ;)
