currently, i am 71.5% done with the rough animation! that's 1547 of the 2165 frames complete, meaning there are 34 seconds left to animate!!!

4 seconds a day = done in 8 days (jan 11th, mon)

animations been going really well this week!! i've been working on pace while being much happier with the results

(finally) the WIP GIFs!! + proper progress update

good news!! my computer's up and running perfectly fine now! so animation begins......

currently, i am 42.7% done with the rough animation! working at 2 seconds a day, the rough animation should be completed by around January 7th!

i'm gonna try to take a bit of a different approach to animating the rest of this animation, which is really an approach i've been trying to achieve for a while but keep forgetting, where i generally draw much more loose...

update PT 2!! (also important)

hey! so this last week's been a little interesting because 1 week ago today, my computer was put out of commission! long story short, i got new parts since my computer was noticeably pretty aged, it worked fine for a few hours, but then the computer died and wouldnt turn back on..

good news is, we've since ordered a new power supply (since the PSU was the one thing i didn't upgrade so its the likely culprit) that just showed up yesterday, so hopefully today i'd have a working computer!<...

a general update!!! (important)

hey! so something i've realized in the past week is that i've severely burnt myself out, so i'm currently taking a break! i realize this will probably put me further behind schedule, but given how ive been working slowly + unhappily + dissatisfied with the work ive created in that low-energy state, i'd much rather wait a bit longer if it means i'd be working healthier with a better end product, plus i could catch up more with school. seems like trying to work every day with no designated rest...

new WIP GIFs + progress update!!

currently, the rough animation is 29.7% complete!! thats 643/2165 frames, or 35.7/120.3 seconds!

my plan for when the rough animation will be finished is to try and keep up with at least 2 seconds of animation a day, which would mean the rough animation would be finished on December 19th!! ive generally been working slower than im satisfied with for various reasons, but ive taken measures to try and remedy that!

i expect to have the full animation completed either...

more WIP gifs!

unfortunately the last week of animation has been pretty slow, though the start of these animations tend to be so i'm not too worried! just getting used to animating new characters in a new style

rough animation begins!! (a couple WIP gifs)

the "rough animation" previews from now on are gonna be a lot cleaner than the ones shown for previous animations, since i'll be cleaning up the animation as i go in order to make the finalization of the animation easier for myself!

"stupid horse" rough storyboard preview video!!

it may not look like much currently, but this is a very essential starting point for this project! i'm now working on a full animation for "stupid horse" by 100 gecs, meaning it'd be a 2 minute long animation!

i'm very excited for this one, since its pretty much a small-scale version of what i had planned for the "Reaganomics" animation a while back but a lot more feasible, with entirely unique character designs and more fleshed out backgrounds! and it's action-focused!!

the patreon video is done!!! (but not out yet......)

YUP! its already completely finished (somehow)! and it'll be coming out SATURDAY!!

what im working on now! (12 seconds of NEW animation!)

the video im currently working on, which im hoping to release within this week or the next, is a funny little ad video for this patreon!

i just finished all these 12 seconds of animation today alone (boarding excluded) with the full thing being 30 seconds long, so i'm hoping this thing will be out pretty soon!

after this animation, i'm gonna try and dedicate a week to experimenting with stop motion + cardboard paper cutouts for potential use in the future. after that, i'd be diggi...

CLEANUP IS FINISHED!!! coloring begins....

the image is a concept art of how i want the colors to look in the animation!

im not really sure how long coloring would take, but ideally my schedule for the week would look something like this....

1-2 days coloring, 1-2 days on backgrounds, a day on the patron credits, then its DONE!!! either way, it looks like i'd be finishing + uploading the animation before the end of the week!!!!!!

a big fat 20 SECONDS of new rough animation!!!

YYAHHOOO!!!!! the schedule ended up working really well!! i've been able to consistently keep 2 seconds a day as well as often beyond that!!

doing the math, in total i did 21.3 seconds of animation this week, which averages out at 3 seconds a day!

I'm in total 89.7% done with the rough animation!!!! theres only less than 8 seconds left!!!!! if i stay on pace, it'll be done between September 1st and September 3rd!!

this leaves me likely to be finishing the entire animation be...

11 seconds of rough animation + an update!

i have some plans im setting in motion to try and get my animation back on track!

generally, my goal when animating is to at least get an average of 2 seconds of animation done a day for a month, AKA 1 minute per month. i did that pretty well before, but you can tell ive struggled with getting that done since releasing "Modify"! (like how there was a 3 month gap between uploads earlier this year only to upload something 30 seconds long)

to remedy that ive decided to finally actual...

storyboard video preview!!

this week was a pretty slow week for animation, but for good reason!! I was recently commissioned for something Official Lemon Demon!!!!! the work is over now for the most part so this week is gonna be pretty normal. who would've thought my first proper freelance work would be for Lemon Demon!

also i wanna change the last cut in this video to make it more interesting.. namely making the rug animation more dynamic

numbers, numbers! (progress update + whats next!)

 

it's been a while since i've given an exact breakdown of how far i am with my animation, so here it is!

right now i have roughly 612 of the 1338 frames completed for my current animation, meaning i'm currently 45.7% DONE with the rough animation!

my current plans for completing the animation as a whole is to finish the rough animation near the end of August (this month!), and release the animation itself on or before September 15TH!!<...

heres what ive been working on this past week!! theres actually an animation error in the last gif, where the teeth on the head turn faster than the eyes and dont turn enough when the cat closes their eyes, which im probably gonna fix in the final animation
