Bit of an Update from me~!
Added 2025-01-21 01:46:17 +0000 UTCGreetings,
I know my Patreon tends to be quiet frequently and occasionally drop sketches, commissions, and (if I manage to complete them) animations I've been working on. I'm gonna try to post more frequent, like instead of Monthly Sketch Dumps from Donation Streams, I'll try to upload them as Weekly Sketch Dumps and try to announce when I'm doing streams here, not just on my Discord channel. Maybe I'll upload random, little doodles that I don't often bring myself to finish, find other things I can do to involve Patreon more like polls or something.
As reminder, I set up this patreon as a way to receive minor support from those who enjoy my drawings and/or animations, but if you feel I don't do enough to warrant the support I totally understand! Since I left my last job, I've been job hunting and slowly working on refining my animation skills. But given the current state of the world and animation industry, being an animator in the US is EXTREMELY hard!!! o_O
That said, I'm making strides on my animation, setting up commission types just so I can animate more while being directly supported through wonderful commissioners. I'm still running tests on a new type of animation, one in a similar medium like I did of the Woman-into-Mermaid pencil test animation. This week I'm gonna try to wrap on a new pencil test anim so I can calculate how much I can charge per second duration, make it as flexible and approachable as possible for any of those who want me to do animation for.
I also have a personal animation project I wanna get off the ground this year, but balancing so many things it can be tough to jump between said projects. Either way, I wanna make things more visual fun for you, my Discord followers, and my growing platform on Blue Sky!
Stay tuned, and thank you for taking the time to support me either through dollar donations or simply following my work!
You inspire me and I hope my work inspires you!! :D
