After things have cooled down a bit from the recent animation I'm finally able to announce the next animation! Or rather, animations!
The next project is going to be a series of vore animations, which will be based on the popular RAADD Runner game. Those who have played it might be familiar with a certain blue-furred endboss who eats the player in various ways, including one samesize and two micro variations. I want to focus on these three death sequences and planned to turn them into mini ani...
2017-01-03 05:01:10 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update before we're going back to the usual content here, already doing some preparatory work regarding that and will be making an announcement on that soon!
First off, thanks for the continued support everyone! I'm still amazed by the large amount of pledges here! Remember that this month will be free for all patrons though, so content access won't cost anything until the end of January! The free version of the Halloween animation will be posted on January 19th here on Patr...
2016-12-28 16:01:48 +0000 UTC View PostWith this post I announce that patron's accounts wont be charged here on the transition from December to January. There are a few reasons why I'm turning down payment this month, the most prominent one being the delay of the Halloween animation.
Despite my efforts I've been unable to deliver the recent animation in a reasonable time frame after the completion of its visuals. Granted, this taught me a lesson not to outsource certain production steps anymore. I've furthermore tried compens...

And here's the $15 tier package, including 4k versions of the film along with bonus scenes! I'll be posting a small announcement as well tomorrow, so stay tuned!

And here it finally is, apologies for pulling half a Duke Nukem Forever on this one, at last the Halloween animation is finally ready to be posted!
The $15 tier version is encoding as I'm posting this and should be finalized in a few hours. Due to the increasing file sizes and bandwidth I've upgraded my Mega account to a pro level, means that patrons should be able to download files super quick!

Well! It's Monday and I still have yet to receive MonsterChow's sound design. I'm really sorry that things keep dragging on like this, especially since I had planned to have everything released by now. From what it sounded like he seemed to be pretty far in and it's soon done, so here's hoping the film will finally be ready to be posted before this weekend.
Things are taking a bit longer than planned and I feel pretty bad for keeping everyone waiting, for this reason I've started working on a ...

With so many new patrons I've been having a hard time keeping up with sending out individual messages to everyone yet. So here's the now freely accessible download link for the previous animation The Apartment ($10 Tier), so new patrons have direct access to it.
The new animation will be posted in the same manner soon, since Patreon updated their pledging system. Nevertheless I'm still planning to sent out links to everyone to be absolutely sure everyone gets served! (:

Hey guys! Apologies that the new animation hasn't been posted yet. At the moment I'm mostly just waiting for MonsterChow to finalize the sound design, which should be fairly soon! Nevertheless I'll drop him a note in a few minutes to check the status.
In the meantime I already managed to finalize the bonus scene, which will directly be included with the $15 tier package. This bit of content will also be posted later on as a lower resolution gif, very much like the Slurp animation! In the meant...

Unlike in the recent animation, this new film comes at a full 60 FPS framerate. Admittedly, the 60 FPS versions are only interpolated from 30 actually rendered frames per second, but the interpolation tools I used are doing quite a good job. The main thought behind it was so patrons can put some scenes into slow motion, how that would look can be seen in this little gif!

With the release of the new animation being just a few days away I wanted to make another post to provide some additional information. Apart from that I want to thank all patrons, old and new, for their generous support here! I'm still stunned every time I log in here, especially considered how quickly the support rose over the few months!
At the moment all visuals are done and I'm now rendering a slow motion bonus sequence, which is an alternative camera angle of the swallow sequence that was...

At last, here's a final preview of the new animation. This time in the form of screencaps that will hopefully tease a few new scenes that I haven't revealed yet! Hope the quality of the screens shows how much time went into crafting these visuals!
Note that my upload space is currently reacting slow or not at all, which is why I'm trying to use Patreon's uploader this time. Hope this works! Using the img src HTML tag still makes images come up truncated here, it works perfectly in th...
First off, thanks for the patience everyone! I'm slowly getting closer towards the finishing line with the new animation and will be able to show some screenshots and playblasts tomorrow. At the moment I'm finalizing the color grading and should have all visuals done within the next days. I can't estimate if the sound design still makes it before the 30th, after all I still need to pester Laguna for some voice samples as well, so I hope you guys can still hold it for a few more days!

2016-11-28 18:14:02 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update that rendering of all passes has been done today, resulting in roughly 1.200 GB of raw image data, phew!
After compositing the raw frames together I've landed at 4:15 of total runtime, including titles and animated credits. In raw animation time the film clocks in about 3:50! Looking at the full composite of this beast I'm a bit staggered how I managed to pull this off within just 3 months. Fair enough, those three months were absolutely killing me and I'll likely take it a...
2016-11-22 11:47:55 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! First off, apologies for the delays here, also to patrons who are pledging under $5 here since they couldn't see the weekend update. As it consisted of animated previews I've set it as a $5 tier post and should have probably seperated text and content to two seperate posts.
I've gotten pretty sick over the weekend and had to take it easier for a few days, guess constantly pushing 80h weeks is taking its tribute. Nevertheless I managed to efficiently use the time and render a large am...
2016-11-17 11:29:43 +0000 UTC View PostPhew! Hope it's still Sunday! Apologies for the slight delay, been getting horribly sick since I likely have been pushing it too hard lately. I won't let this hold up the animation though, at this point I'll have to wait for my PC to render everything either way, for these days my PC will basically run in autopilot while I can retreat into bed for 1 - 2 days!
Meanwhile here are some playblasts! Not trying to spoil too much of the animation so these are mostly showing the progress on the ...
2016-11-14 05:41:54 +0000 UTC View PostJust a small weekly update! While I still need to animate a few scenes, I've already started rendering the first scene, which is 2:40 in lenght and has 5000 frames alone. I found this to be the most efficient way, since rendering can take multiple weeks. This way my PC can render frames over night while I still animate throughout the days, this way no time gets lost.
Trying to show another little update for the weekend! Hopefully by then all the animation will be finalized so I can finally tak...
2016-11-08 16:11:13 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, thanks a lot to all patrons who have supported this Patreon throughout October despite the lack of any major content being done. I also apologize to everyone for not getting the Halloween animation done until the 31st of October. In its original idea it was supposed to be much shorter, but I ended up wanting to deliver more than just a short animation and give people some more content for the amounts they're pledging. Officially the goal was to complete larger animations is 4 months after...

As promised, here are is a preview on the Halloween animation that I'm still working on! Having almost animated two and a half minutes the progress is good, even though not nearly as far as I'd have liked it at this point. It's certain that this is going to be the longest animation yet, with a runtime that will even exceed the three minute Jackal animation from a few years ago. Here's hoping that despite its length and effort I can finish it in a timely manner, as I know I'm keeping you guys wai...
2016-10-31 12:15:20 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a first glimpse of some of the animation of the next film! For this early preview I've selected two playblasts with very basic effects and lighting to give a rough idea on the film's look! Note that this is just an internal preview, with the majority of advanced effects being disabled. Lighting isn't final either, the overall animation is still going to be fine tuned as well!
So far I'm about 2 minutes into the film, with a lot of the more complex animation parts still ahead of me....

So far I haven't said much on the upcoming Halloween animation yet, which is why I'd like to use this post to describe it a bit. Apologies for having been a little quiet about it, I've still been working on the environment and a few other things that were necessary to make this animation work. The actual animating process finally starts today though!
The animation starts in a 1st person POV from a human character. The main idea for the beginning is to have the character looking for a lost...
First off, thanks so much to all patrons, old and new, who have been supporting the last month! After the release of the recent animation the pledges pretty much doubled, bringing us above the 1.5k goal within just three months! I have to admit I never expected things to get even remotely close to that, but we somehow made it, which is thanks to your generous support!
There will be a few changes coming this month, the biggest one being that I'll convert to the new system where new patrons ...
