the cleanup for "modify" is 95% COMPLETE!!!!! in the meantime heres some preview character designs for what i'm planning on animating next!

thats right!! modify's cleanup is 95% DONE which i'll probably be finishing today! this next week will be coloring, backgrounds, the final touches, then modify will be FINISHED!

i plan to try and finish the animation next week, but it may also be the next, something i can be sure of though is i'm finishing this animation before the end of the month!

afterwards, i'm going for "Party on the Moon" which is what both of these character designs are for! i hope to finish that one within...

"modify" update + gifs!!!! (92% DONE WITH ROUGH ANIMATION)

its been a hot minute since i've posted an update but i am still hard at work!!! progress has been a little slower than expected but thats ok!

at the moment i am 92.4% done with Modify's rough animation!!!! more specifically, i have 2326/2516 of the required frames completed, or 129.2/139.7 seconds!

"Modify" update, sneak peeks, +more!! (OVER 50% REACHED)

currently, Modify sits with its rough animation being 54.1% complete! in ~16-13 days, the rough animation will be 100% complete!!!

this means that generally the rough animation should be done some time around January 18th or before!

from then on i will be tackling cleanup, coloring, the backgrounds, and then it will finally be done!! personally i'm not entirely sure how long any of those phases would take, but i'm going to try a...

a collection of gifs from Modify + a mini update!

these 3 gifs are just a few loops from around Modify that i've been posting on social media!

at the moment I am now 43% finished with the rough animation for Modify! that includes the +26 seconds I've added as of recently!

unfortunately there's not much i can really show for the large amount of progress i've been making recently as most of the new animation is pretty scattered around, but I am well on my way to the 50% December goal!

a sneak peek at my big fat "To-Animate List"

this is the sticky note i keep on my desktop to keep track of all the songs/things i want to animate! some of these may not be accurate since this thing has been around for a while, but you might find these interesting nonetheless! there are also songs that im considering/want to animate that i just haven't put on this list yet

the "small" animations mean they wouldn't be full song animations, but rather a cut down version of the song (though some i would want to make a big animation fo...

another dang "modify" update!

i've been planning to animate a majority of "modify" with only a small 26 second section (the start) being removed, but i decided to just go ahead and animate the entire song instead!

i've also changed my workflow with "modify", where before i would do the storyboards, the rough animation, and then the cleanup for some short section of the song before moving onto the next. recently, i've decided to change that up a bit to where i'd be doing the same thing in regards to ...

unfortunately, the time has come...

the little faces in the patron credits are gone for good :( and i will be updating the tier descriptions to reflect this

my reasoning for this is simply that as patronage grows, doodling a lil face for each name becomes less and less of a realistic task to perform, and while faces had to go, i am infinitely grateful that so many of you have pledged!!

each and every one of your names will still and forever will be hand-written out in the credits! this is something ...

another "Modify" preview!

at the moment, I am 20% (401/2042 frames) of the way done with Modify's lineart! my current goal is to have the animation finished by the end of January 2020, meaning I should be about 50% done with the animation by the end of this month!

WIP animation preview for MODIFY!!

i plan to add color + a bg (and also fill in that empty space at the start) in full!!

another update!!!

i am back in business! ive been back in business for a little while, doing animation for something special that you'll get to see this week (i think! wow!)

while i was gone, i also picked up on some new animation techniques that have massively upped my animation quality as well as made animation more fun for me! (basically as of a few hours ago...)

the next animation preview should be coming out this week, so be on the lookout!!

View Post

a lil update...!

"Modify" is still well on its way! however, i am going to try and take a break from animation for a week (or at least a few days) for my own sake since i've basically been animating on a near daily since the beginning of "Lifetime Achievement Award"..

but do not fret!! i don't have a preview available now, but im nearing the end of a ~16 second section that will be finished shortly after i get back to it!

concept sketches for the next animation: MODIFY by Lemon Demon!

this next animation will be about 2 minutes long, with 2042 frames to complete! i estimate that it will take until about either late december or early january to finish..

i want to try for a little bit of a different style in this animation, going for a bit of an early 2000s/late 90s "y2k" kind of cartoon look with thicker outlines and thin inner lines

its going to be interesting to try and keep the visuals less disturbing while still being loyal given the lyrics but i think this ...

storyboards for the next animation!!

the song is "Float On" by Modest Mouse! hopefully youtube doesnt screw me over with this one, this video got claimed so it cant be monetized but i dont monetize my videos in the first place so ha

edit: something i forgot to mention.. im not sure if id be continuing past this length in the song yet or not, mainly theres a lot of empty space after this part thats a bit intimidating, either way i wanna do color and backgrounds again!
