patreon did a stupid

hey heads up i didnt mean for billing to continue this month sorry, im still on break. last month i paused billing on the first of the month and due to that patreon insta billed this month since patreon bills on the first of every month. again im sorry, patreon is stupud

taking a break

hey, im going to pause billing for this patreon for a month. this will skip the next billing period and only charge at the next one. patreon doesnt let people pause for more than a month at a time, so billing will happen bi-monthly for a bit most likely. the reason doing this is due to stress around failing to meet expectations. ive been in a creative slump since the beginning of the year and i cant seem to shake it. and because im not finishing any projects, i have nothing to share here. so ...

thumbnail i made today :D

two of my friend made a frag movie together. all the clips are from one person and it was edited by the other. theyve been sitting on it for a while now and asked me if i could make a thumbnail for it, so i made this today. i started making it with asumsaus in mind but in the end it turned out more like a chess 3d render. this looks like a hoog thumbnail lol. i spent a couple hours trying to get a fuchsia key light and cyan fill light with a oil spill background to work for the scene, but i w...

i made a fucky wucky

heyo, okay so update on the animation. i didn't reach the deadline i was hoping to reach, which sucks, but i prefer it this way. the deadline did serve its purpose in lighting that fire under my ass so that i would get the project started, and i could have achieved it. it just wouldn't have been anything im proud of OR anything id have learned much from. the voice work and camera angles were finished when i had them scheduled to be, but when it came to animating the characters- one in particu...

May status update

heyo, lil update for what ive been doing. I was feeling creative and wanted to work on some more complex stuff instead of second channel vids. So instead of finishing the second channel video at the start of the month ill be finishing it at the end instead. Ive been working on the short animation ive been wanting to do but honestly ive been really amped about modeling my sona idea i came up with so ive been doing that mostly. I have milstones layed out for the animation so thatll get done by ...

1-7-2025 Helldivers 2 video

Heyo, took a bit longer than i expected but its done. I may have done more edits than i prolly should have, but so it be.

Some workflow changes and video schedueles :D

Hey lil update shmupdate. I plan to upload a video once a month on the first of the month from now on, be it second channel or main. Just one video in general. I have a short film (?) animation planned that will be uploaded by itself to the main channel, im also finishing a hd2 video thatll be done this week. Ill upload it here early when its done.

Okay art thingies time!

Ive changed how i make videos. In my old workflow, i would make my rough cut, edit all my clips, polish them...

mine little slideshow

patreon breaks when i try to upload more than a dozen images so i made a slideshow of all the screenshots i took while making the thumbnail for the open fortress video

3-4-2025 Open Fortress video

Just have the thumbnail to make and then im done. Wont upload this for a week tho. im thinking of uploading most of my videos a week early here, but not guaranteed. I think im gonna focus on second channel videos for a little bit since i dont have it in me to do any major projects right now, and honestly making this video was a lot of fun and very fulfilling for me. I wanna make more stuff like this.

Taking a break

Just letting yall know that im taking a break from working on anything right now. Dealing with burnout and stress so im mainly letting yall know this so that i wont feel stressed about not posting here. Dont know how long the break will be, but itll be however long it needs to be. Thas all i wish yall a very merry christmas bibibibi

Bullet point thoughts

Ive been jotting some ideas about making stuff and that whole process in a discord message. Mainly just adding new ideas to it whenever they hit me and doing a little bit of refinement. I was thinking id organize them into something structured and not rambly but I dont think id ever do that honestly. Next time instead of writing a bunch of short ideas into one message ill fully flesh out one concept or topic separate from everything else. I do like being able to write when an idea strikes but...

fire extinguisher.

i have 1 animation left, music, some sound design, clip selection and order, one simulation and im done. hoping to get it out by the 28th but if i cant itll have to be delayed till i get back home.

Ive come to a decision

Currently the video is 22 minutes long and with added animations it will probably be 23. My concerns lie in that the video is super dense. Like really dense. Watching dense things is fine but not when its beamed into your brain for 23 minutes.

I do not want blood on my hands.

So I have decided; I shall cut the video in two! I was really hesitant and against this as ive stated before but keeping the video in one will only hurt the viewing experience. I got fatigued at the 1...

bringing my computer to its knees (for funsies :>)

a few weeks ago i finished moving house and so ive been getting into a nice routine as of late. a 4 day work week has been very effective for me, taking weekends and wednesday off. ive been able to work for 6-10 hours straight each day without burning out or dreading it. there should be a l4d video out this week on the second channel. only things left on that one is music and opening clip order. ive been working pretty fast on the main channel video but ive definitely bit off too much with th...

gay little squidward run.

inbetweening is fun cuz its pretty much the coloring phase of animating. all the lining is done and you can just get stupid with it. i was supposed to shower to sleep like 40 minutes ago but i completely zoned out into my work. flow state achieved woohoo !! sire, send them (me) to the shark infested rapids (bathtub) and make it sloppy (self explanatory). end transmission

scrapped helldivers thumbnail

wasnt funny enough and couldnt really pair it with a good title

who up workin they flow

I recently got recommend a video about some musicians and their workflows. Normally I try not to watch videos like that for the simple reason that I only want to take advice from artists I look up to, as they actually make things I like. But I decided to watch it and did manage to get a good take away. They bring up a quote that some musician said; "Thought is the enemy of flow." This is a concept ive thought about a lot but never articulated in a concise way. Whenever I edit I try to have so...

I be workin good :D

Hello! sorry for not posting in a bit. I got sick when I got back home and Im still getting over it, but Ive been working again. Im finishing bits pretty fast; I started and completed an animation today. But I did get stumped with that one heavy animation I sent last time. I ended up breaking my foundational rule of having "the edit serve the clip" where I don't want to have edits that exist only for themselves (not a steadfast rule but one I only break with intention). The heavy animation by...

I have finished the book :D

I have devoured each page of scripture and its powers flow through my marrow. Im happy to start animating again but I will definitely be re-reading it in the future. I was right in thinking it was gonna change my way of animating, seeing as my new animations are already filled with a lot more life and character. The animation above is probably verging on over animated but I really wanna see how far I can push my poses while having them still feel believable in motion. You can scrub on the tim...

Ive learned how to model stuff :D

A lil while ago, I saw a drawing someone made in my server and thought "That looks easy enough to model".

I was woefully wrong.

After spending 4 hours trying to get the head down and using an ungodly amount of loop cuts, I gave in. Later that night I was talking with a friend and the conversation eventually got onto the topic of the shameful attempt at modeling that had transpired just hours earlier. My main struggle was a lack of reference, as the image I was working off of w...

Wendigo Anim BTS

I finished the blocking for a wendigo bit a lil while ago :D. The model on the left is the Krampus model from one of the smissmas maps from last year. I just had to remove some accessories and smush their face to fit into the skull hat I put on them. It makes them look like a goat but ill save those clips for when the whole project is done. To make the background scene I got a smoke blackscreen and used some shader nodes to make it transparent and then layered and changed the speed of each la...

the hellish choir of the deep. to get the screams btw i flung myself onto my beanbag from across the room a dozen times

4-18-2024 tf2 video Update #2

i be animating on my shwimadadoo. For a little while now ive been animating bits for the video. I was dealing with art block coming up with bits for the dozen or so clips I still had marked. Instead of continuing to struggle to come up with ideas for a week, I decided to start animating the simple bits I was looking forward to making. Its feels really nice to make and finish something tangible after some time. I think this is a lot healthier for myself and I think thats pretty coool. When i f...

groundhogday.

he will be here- for eternity

solly pose i did for the frag montage

i didnt upload the video for so long because i mainly just wanted to make a frag montage for myself but didnt want to make a thumbnail for it. so I just ended up leaving it in the backlog (the backlog of 1 whole video) for over a year. but today i was going over frags with a few friends and remembered i had made a whole video so i sat down and made a thumbnail for it. I wanted to make a comic book style thumbnail like the album art for the song. i just had a lot of fun making this. posing was...
