Thank you!

Just wanted to take a paus from animating to say thank you to all my Patrons! Thanks for supporting me yet another month and for firing me on to create more and better stuff. At the end of this month we'll see the release of "Shortcake" after which we move on to our common project, the one you'll have direct influence over.

See ya'round!

Script "Manger à trois"

This will be a new reoccurring segment where I post some of the rough scripts/short stories I've written as inspiration for potential animations, of which I have several. They can be anything from well thought out to brain-farts, they might one day be made or forever be left to the imagination (that's partly up to you!). After I've posted a few, I'll hold a poll to see which ones you like the most and maybe that one'll get made!

Progress update

Hello everyone,

I'm more or less half way done with "Shortcake", which feels really nice. I've hit a few bumps, I always do, but have managed to work through or around them well enough. So far, it's looking quite good, if I'm allowed to say so myself.

When the animation is done, patreons with tier "Lunch" or higher will get a few days early access. How many days would be reasonable, do you think? 3-4?

Cheers,

Goal reached & an update

Hello, dinners and diners! 

We've reached our second goal, which has gone much faster than I'd ever hoped. Because of you I've been able to get tons of new assets and the support has really motivated me to keep on animating. My production rate is now much faster than previously, with 1 minute of animation and editing already finished on "Shortcake". My estimate is that the whole thing will be done and out by the end of October.

As for my next project... The one aft...

Je Voudrais la Boeuf

If I had known at the time that the actor was that disliked, I wouldn't have made this animation, that's for sure. Many found him too annoying to actually be able to enjoy the animation itself. At least Elli seemed to have enjoyed him, so that's something...

But hey, it was fun to make and a good way to learn to incorporate real footage into an animation, so that's something positive to take away from it, I guess.

Felaryan Fashion Show

As many of you perhaps already know, I started my journey in the Felaryan mythos, a fantastical world filled with hungry females of different shapes and sizes. Felarya is the brain child of Karbo (https://www.patreon.com/Karbo), who's a phenomenal artist, drawing voracious females in a perfected manga-style, but the realm has additionally been expanded upon and populated by a league of different artists, most found on Devian...

"Shortcake" - testing render quality

Hello everyone,

In my current project I am using a different kind of light called HDRI (in combination with some other lights). I won't bore you with all the techno-lingo (I don't know half of it myself), but in short it makes the scenes look very clear and realistic. I've now water cooled my GPU:s (thanks guys!) which really helps out with the stability and render times when doing these types of scenes.

I think it looks awesome (though what you see isn't done, yet) and I'm looking forwa...

Scene from the outside

Light, you don't think that much about it. Flip a switch and it's just there, doing whatever light does.

When animating, it's never that simple. Lighting is the most important aspect because it dictates the look of everything. Some lighting might look good but also be very taxing on rendering times. It's a trade off and you've got to strike a good balance. It therefore takes careful planning and testing to make a scene look natural and appealing with viable render times.

Sexting with a giantess

For those of you that don't know, this short little snippet is actually part of a comic (of sorts) I made on Devianart, featuring a text message conversation between a giantess and the tiny man she met at a club. The animation is meant to be a video she sent to him as part of that conversation.

The comic was very popular so do check it out, if you haven't already.

Meet Maxine

This is Maxine, or at least my first iteration of her, and she's the protagonist of my upcoming animation. I still have a few kinks to work out before I'm completely satisfied but most of it is done.

She is loosely based on the actress who's voice is being lent to the character, though I had hoped to get a better resemblance. Still, she's super cute, I think. What's your opinion?

Do you mind light spoilers like this? I've tagged it with "spoilers" so that those that don't want a...

Me Time

 Hello boys and girls!

Once in a while you deserve some Me Time, am I right? Well, here's the 1080p version of it for your viewing pleasure! So, sit back, kick your shoes off and relax, but your feet up, and just enjoy the ride...

"Shortcake"

Hello everyone,

Good news! Work on my next animation has just begun. This time around I'm aiming for a shorter animation, about 1 minute in length, with a quicker production time and release, while maintaining (or improving) quality.

I don't want to reveal too much just yet, but what I can say is that the working title is "Shortcake" and that I'm collaborating with a voice actress, for the first time.

This will be my first voice acted animation and it'll be a tria...

The Locker Room

Hello everyone,

This is still my personal favorite. Of course you've already seen it but perhaps not in its highest quality? Well, here's your chance!

Felarya - Deleted scene

Hi everyone,

This is nothing special, really. It's just a short deleted scene from my latest animation of Elli looking over the horizon at the tiny guy waving at her. I decided that I didn't want to reveal Elli that early in the animation so I scraped this.

So, what happens now?

Here's an update on what's happening in the near future! 

First thing I'm going to do now is upgrade my PC for better performance (water cooling my GPUs, is one thing) and do a general overhaul and overclock, to hone things in. Long rendering times increase heat output and lowers productivity, and shortens the lifespan of my hardware. Better cooling is therefore very important both in the short and the long run.

I'll also be reinstalling and updating my software, something I actuall...

High Quality Download!

As promised, here's a link to watch and/or download "Felarya: a Matter of Perspective" in glorious 1080p, at the highest quality!

I will continue to post download links to HQ versions of my previous work throughout the month.

Freakin' enjoy!

First goal reached!

The feedback on my latest animation has been incredible and wow, we reached the first goal quickly! Thank you everyone, this is really motivating me to get back in the saddle. I've already begun plans for future work and I will keep you fellow Patreons tightly in the loop. Stay tuned for an update.

Cheers,
