December Update

Last month of 2024, I am FEELING THE PRESSURE 😫

This week I will be focusing on getting arc 9 as close to done as possible. Tuesday should be the last construction day until after our inspection on Friday, so that gives me almost a full solid work week. I gave the translators until Saturday to hand the subtitles in, so I'm hoping by next week things should all be finalized (if nothing else gets in the way πŸ™).

Other than that, my shop is currently open for DanDaDan merch preorders if you didn't know! ✨ Don't forget to use promo code DDD20 at checkout for 20% off your total order before it EXPIRES tomorrow at midnight (December 2, EST). ✨ This is an exclusive sale just for you guys! Check it out at emzurl.com (NOTE THAT EVERYTHING WILL SHIP EARLY 2025)

Not much else going on, I should still be able to stream this Thursday, so hope to see you then! Thank you all for supporting me πŸ’–

Status Update

Hi everyone! Dropping by to give a quick update on the status of Arc 9 and my sanity (jk, not really).

The house construction is in full swing and has been for the past week and a half. We gutted the whole second floor ourselves and the construction crew we hired has already framed the outer walls and roof out. We have to wait until December 6 for the building inspector to come before we can move forward with closing up the walls and everything else. Yadda, yadda, yadda -- all this to say it's been HECTIC, I have been STRESSED, but it's all good because I was able to finish 2 big deadlines and am now completely devoted to finishing this arc for next month!!!!!

πŸ‘‰ I was able to get all of the missing VFX done, add in missing frames, fix some bad shot hookups, and get the subtitle file ready for the translators (who were all contacted today).

Here's what I have left to do before it's ready for public release:

  • Make and add in all missing backgrounds

  • Add sound effects

  • Re-record Allegra

  • Fix audio

  • Make all subtitle files once translations are in

Since Thanksgiving is on Thursday, I'm going to move my stream up to tonight. It won't be long since I have a bunch of other things to do, but I'm going to try and get some more work done!

We're getting closer, I can't wait for this to be done so I can take the rest of the year off 😀 Thank you for your support, as always! πŸ’–

ML Office AU Arc 9 Info

Hi everyone! I'm making a public post to update on the state of the ML Office AU.

The final part of Arc 9 has been released, so the full WIP of the arc is available for all subscription tiers! There is a lot of work left in post-production that needs to be done before I can publicly release it. This will most likely take me a few weeks to finalize.

I will post about a premiere date when I have it, but at this time I do not know exactly when this arc will be ready to go. As expected, this arc has taken the most time, and you'll soon understand why if you are waiting to watch it publicly. Just a little longer, we're almost there!

This is not the final arc by the way, Arc 10 will be the series finale.

Thank you for reading, your support, and your patience πŸ’–

WE MADE IT OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

I don't feel like celebrating just yet though, I have SO MUCH WORK LEFT TO DO 😫

Please, please, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ANYTHING FROM THIS PART OR FROM THIS ARC!!!!!!!! I have worked too hard and long for any of this to be leaked, please don't make me regret sharing this early πŸ™ I thank you all in advance for your discretion and respecting my work πŸ’–

Next, I have to go through the whole arc a bunch of times and figure out all of the things I need to fix/add and get the translations started for public release. Probably looking at a December launch, hopefully! 🀞

November Update

Hello hello! Only 2 months left in the year, I'm freaking out a little HAHAHA 😫

Arc 9, part 9 is coming along, I'm trying to find time today to time it all out so I can see how many more drawings it needs (plus hair, ugh......). I'm hoping to have it done by the end of next week, but with the election affecting one of my deadlines, things are going to get hectic. I'm trying to get ahead of the work by doing stuff this week, which means I haven't had as much time to work on part 9, but I'm getting there!

Once part 9 is done, I have to go back and do all of the VFX, SFX, backgrounds, and any hair/blinks/animation I had previously missed.

Bringing this back hopefully for the last time 🀞:

  • βœ… Storyboard the entire arc

  • βœ… Time everything out into a rough animatic

  • βœ… Send animatic to VAs and order voice work

  • βœ… Build the blimp and city background in Blender

  • βœ… Edit all voice work

  • βœ… Get the first section of the arc out of the way (still in the office - 2 parts)

  • βœ… Set up all shots

  • βœ… Finish part 3

  • βœ… Finish Part 4

  • βœ… Finish Part 5

  • βœ… Finish Part 6

  • βœ… Finish part 7

  • βœ… Finish part 8

  • β­• Finish part 9

  • Make hand-drawn backgrounds

  • Re-record/re-edit Allegra

  • Add sound effects + post production

  • Release the full arc publicly

I hope I can have this all done by the end of the month, but with holidays coming, a few deadlines, and HOPEFULLY HOUSE WORK OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE I may need part of December to finalize this arc. The clock is ticking and it is roaring in my ears πŸ˜‚πŸ˜–

Thank you for reading and your support!! πŸ’–

ML Office Au β€’ Arc 9 - Part 8

**DO NOT REPOST OR UPLOAD ANYWHERE ELSE, WHETHER IN FULL, PART, OR SCREENSHOTS; if you see any early access work from this series posted anywhere, please bring it to my attention immediately thank you!**

Well, I wasn't able to finish this part before NYCC, but here it is! It's missing some VFX like some previous parts.

We FINALLY got our construction permit, so work on the house will be starting soon. I have other work to deal with, as well as prepping the house + demolition, so I'm not sure how long this last part is going to take me. I'll still be streaming on Thursday, but going forward I'll have to keep you all updated on my working availability.

Thanks for watching thus far, we're ALMOST THERE!!! πŸŽ‰

October Update

I meant to post this last week, oops! Happy spooky season! πŸŽƒ

I've been working on part 8, so I'm hoping to have that done before I leave for NYCC next week.

Delays with getting our construction permit have been annoying, but we're getting closer.....I would love to begin construction this month if it's possible, but we don't want to have the house open and exposed in the winter. So, it's a waiting game to see if we're actually going to get it done this year 😭

Anyway, with 2 parts left, arc 9 is close to being complete. But there are A LOT of things I have to do for post-production, so I honestly have no idea when this is going to be ready for public release. I want to get it done before the end of the year though; I have to, or I'll go insane lmao πŸ™ƒ

Here's everything that's done and everything left to go:

  • βœ… Storyboard the entire arc

  • βœ… Time everything out into a rough animatic

  • βœ… Send animatic to VAs and order voice work

  • βœ… Build the blimp and city background in Blender

  • βœ… Edit all voice work

  • βœ… Get the first section of the arc out of the way (still in the office - 2 parts)

  • βœ… Set up all shots

  • βœ… Finish part 3

  • βœ… Finish Part 4

  • βœ… Finish Part 5

  • βœ… Finish Part 6

  • βœ… Finish part 7

  • β­• Finish part 8

  • Finish part 9

  • Make hand-drawn backgrounds

  • Re-record/re-edit Allegra

  • Add sound effects + post production

  • Release the full arc publicly

Thank you for your support as always, we're almost there! πŸ’–

Shot 701 Behind the Scenes

Whewwww I just finished the roughs for this shot πŸ’¦ Please don't share it anywhere!

It's 299 frames long, so almost 12.5 seconds. Now I have to line and color all of this, which I am NOT looking forward to 😭 but once this shot is done, it's (kind of) smooth sailing from here πŸ’•

Arc 9 Update

Hi everyone, just thought I'd drop a quick update.

As you've noticed, part 7 hasn't been completed yet. Like I have said previously, this part is the most complicated of them all, requiring a LOT of animation. Currently, most of the part is pretty much done (aside from timing and lip sync in After Effects). I will be tackling the big fight shot this week, which is what will take me the most time. I still don't know how long it will take, but I am diligently working on it!

Also, we were granted the permit for our house renovations, yay! There were some weird stipulations we have to take care of, so we still don't know when construction will actually start πŸ˜” We've been packing up the second floor these past few weeks in preparation. Once construction starts, I'll see how much I'll be able to work, hopefully it doesn't mess with my schedule too much πŸ™
