Patreon Tier Update: More Rewards & Commissions

Hi hi

Based on the latest poll results, your name in the credits is now included as a reward in the โ‚ฌ5 tier! I will be including a credits screen at the end of each video including the Patreon usernames of everyone at this tier & higher (it will count for anything posted in the current month a week after you pledged, + the following month)

Secondly I'm trying out opening up Commission tiers for custom artwork, examples included for anyone interested! Looking forward to drawi...

would you like to be credited in future videos?

(reposting this as i changed the options a bit)

hey all! i've been thinking of ways i can improve my patreon &  better thank you guys for helping support my vids, would you like to be  credited in videos like i used to? it'd be a screen probably at the end  of the video with everyone's usernames on it, probably for $5 patrons.  Lemme know what you think! :>

Happy almost-Christmas! As you may have noticed I kind of failed my little weekly videos challenge :D 4 in a row is still pretty good for mostly animated content though! kind of thinking of making a video about the whole experiment, is that something you'd like to see? other than that I have one more video planned for this year which should come out either next week or the week after, then I will probably take a few weeks off in January :'3 Thanks for all the support this year, hope you guys have a happy ho

hello everyone! are you ready for more weekly videos? because im not :D based on if i finish this current video by tomorrow, we'll see if i can keep this "little" experiment going haha

little update! next animation is currently in the audio stage and should be coming out early october :> i also have a couple interesting ideas for videos in the works, just kinda feel like experimenting a bit!

View Post

just wanted to drop another little update, cause i've been thinking a lot lately and i really wanna step up my video production. so, from now on i'm gonna be aiming to release 2 videos per month! my upload schedule has been bothering me for a while and i think i found a good way to fix that without quadrupling my work schedule, so stay tuned for that :3

ello, boring text post here! just wanted to update you guys that the next video is fully animated & edited! :> i've passed it along to my sound designer & its expected to be released on sept. 8th! meanwhile getting to work on the next script ๐Ÿ‘

honey it's 4pm, time for your extremely vague progress screenshot of the next video

next video is finished & i'm holding it hostage

as much as i'd love to release it now i really need stuff to upload while i'm in the UK at the end of the month! it's scheduled to drop next thursday (14th). in the meantime, ive started work on the next..next video, which is gonna be a fun one (they're both fun tbh)

View Post

i couldn't fit the whole timeline in but here is a very vague sneak-peek on how the next video is going! its been a bit hard to update the Trello since i've been working on bits of each scene rather finishing one before moving onto the next, but progress is going very well and it shouldn't take much longer to be done! :>

quick update! just sent off the next video to my sound designer - it should be ready to upload in about a week! :> meanwhile i'm already getting started on the next animation so the gap between them shouldn't be too long๐Ÿ‘Œ

gonna hold off on posting too many screenshots to avoid spoiling it, but - just 3 scenes left to animate! :D

just a 'nother update

hey guys! just wanted to give you a post-stream update

firstly - the marathon stream now has chapters for every video! you can now skip through to whichever specific videos you wanna see the reaction to (the last 30 minutes of the stream are linked at the top of the description)

after the stream i took a short break to deal with some IRL stuff & also to take a 'lil holiday, however i've been feeling groggy since getting back on Saturday so video progress & such may be a *l...

flop! sneak peek + updates

here is a short snippet of the next video, for your viewing pleasure

as of right now i am about half way through with the animation...yes only half way xD the 2 scenes per day goal i set myself last week is honestly completely unachievable, the most i can do is 1 per day and even that is not always possible :'3 (some scenes are particularly complicated)

i'm still gonna push through cause i do wanna complete it and finally get it out, its a really fun video and i think you'll enjoy...

quick update!

i'm back from my break over easter! and here is an out of context frame from the next video

sadly still has quite a lot of work to go on it so i don't have an estimate for the release date yet, today im gonna see if i can aim for 2 scenes per day, in that case i could give a loose estimate to expect the video to go up about 2 weeks from now

but yeah, not much else to add, will have some more previews for you soon :>

i present to you: an out of context frame

SO if you read that novel i wrote in my last post you may or may not be aware of a little dilemma i had regarding the video i was working on taking a lot longer than expected. in it i rambled about a couple of options, and as an update on that, i decided to start working on a simpler video to go up in-between instead - this is a frame from that!

i'm not gonna spoil what it will be about, but it is. interesting.

currently aiming to have all of the animation done this week so i can ...

big boye video in progress

ello everyone, enjoy this very scuffed frame from the animatic of my next video :D

just wanted to give you all an update on how progress is going- im currently working on the animatic however i am starting to realise that it is quite the chonky project. there are 11 scenes in total and they are all rather complex. for comparison most of my animations have around 8 scenes and i usually aim to animate 1 per day, so i would estimate this video would take just over 2 weeks to animate if i s...

Next animation in progress!

so, the poll has decided that the next animation will be cat vs dog! which i have completed the script for and moved on to working on the animatic

as for my next video (the complete one), i think iโ€˜ll upload it next Thursday- that does mean there will be a larger gap between it and the next one, but since it is kind of a more simple video and a little different to my usual stuff i didnt wanna keep you guys waiting too long!

iโ€˜m planning to complete the animatic either tomorrow...

help me choose the next video!

hey everyone, apologies for the lack of updates lately, life has been a bit hectic as you can probably imagine

my next video is actually already done, i sadly dont have any sneak-peeks to show of it as its a little difficult (will make sense when you see it), but it will be going up on youtube in about 2 - 3 weeks, depending on how much of the next-next video i can get done before my trip to england (march 8th - 18th)

however! i am having some trouble deciding what to make next. i...

hey guys, just another small update. ive been spending the latter half of this week dealing with losing my mum. im not sure when & for how long yet, but at some point in the next few weeks i will be returning to the UK again to help my family with all the horrible shit you have to do after someone passes away. my next video is complete on my end, it is in the hands of my sound designer now and is currently scheduled for release around the end of the month. i know you guys don't mind waiting but i do have an

hey everyone, just wanted to let you guys know that things are not going too great for me right now as a close family member of mine is in the hospital. i'm still working on my next video as honestly keeping myself busy with something fun is helping, but there may be less updates/sneak-peeks and i may need to take a break from videos completely if things get worse

LIFE UPDATE: short break until February

Hey! I hope you all enjoyed my new video as much as I did making it :D

I just wanted to let you know what I've been up to since finishing it;

After 2 years I finally got the opportunity to visit my family in the UK again (This was supposed to happen in December, hence why I took such a long break, but I had to move it due to last minute covid restrictions). I'll be here until Feb 3rd.

I did bring some equipment with me as my original plan was to start working on the next...
