I'm back
🕑 Added 2024-07-03 18:45:37 +0000 UTCI been gone for a really long time and I can't even begin to apologize and express how much I appreciate everyone who stuck around with my seemingly dead account, you're continued support really did help. I'm sure a lot of you are frustrated with my absence and lack of communication, and I'm sure some are worried that something happened. I'm incredibly sorry.
I originally fell far behind on the rewards and I felt like I needed to focus on them, however, I ended up with this bad mindset that I needed to finish these projects before I could start anything new. I ended up letting my patreon and online presence disappear so that I could just work on those projects. That alone wouldn't have made me disappear for as long as I ended up doing, but whenever I would feel like I caught up, I couldn't stop this feeling that what I had wasn't enough. I tried starting some new projects and worked on my animations in order to make the hiatus worth it, but every time I actually finished something, I still felt like it wasn't enough. I probably have at least 10 half started animations that I probably won't ever finish because of this. I also felt like I wasn't being able to animate as fast as I did before and when every project took me way longer than I expected, I started to get worried that I was losing the ability to animate. Then I started to feel Like I wasn't a good enough animator to come back and tried to work on my animation quality, but at that point I think I just was really dreading posting again after such a long time.
But, enough about that, now to post everything I've been doing since I've been gone. I ended up animated everything from the last vote instead of just the top one.
Don't get Caught by Elastigirl
Quickie: Don't Distract the D.va
Sheva's Secret Snack Skirt (I'm particularly proud of that walk cycle)
Quickie: Face full of Asari Ass
Quickie Chell enjoying her toys
Quickie Beach Blunder angle 2 (couldn't figure out which camera I liked)
It's Samara's Party Now (one of those projects that kept getting bigger)
Tag Teamed Suit (always wanted to animate the barnacle from half-life)
Don't mess with Moxxi Nude (I like just rendering different outfits)
Even though I kept feeling like it wasn't enough, posting all of them at once made me realize how many animations I ended up doing.
I also made animated something I've always wanted to. Might be stupid, but I had a lot of fun with it.
Tried to make animate framerate to look like the original scene, but there are some parts that don't really translate to 3D very well (or I'm the one who didn't translate it well)
Next up is the commission I've been animation on and off for about a couple years. I really shouldn't have taken this long to complete it, but it got really complicated and I wasn't able to give it the attention that it needed for a long time. Because of this delay, what I thought could have been my magnum opus instead became a bit of a disappointment. That being said, I've been looking at it for far too long and might just be too critical. Heads up though, I animated it while they were nude so when I felt like rendering alternate versions of them with their outfits there were a few issues that would be too much of a pain to fix.

Now for the images, there weren't too many image rewards that were left before I went on hiatus since they were always easier to complete, but here they are.
Now for a little bonus. In an attempt to improve my working speed so, I started picking random scenes and characters so that I would spend less time planning and more time actually working, similar to a warmup. These were the pics I made.
One of the biggest regrets that I never paused the payments for my patreon. It probably was a stupid idea, but I never intended on leaving for as long as I did. The only source of income I've had for this last year was the slight amount of payment I would get from an indie company I've been working for and this patreon, so my bank account has slowly been draining over the course of this year and it's definitely not looking great now. I don't intend on excusing what I did, and I really hate that I did it. I'm incredibly sorry, that's not the kind of person I wanted to become.
Lastly, I just want to say how much I really appreciate everyone sticking around with me. This year has been kind of rough and I sometimes struggled, but I'm back and I don't plan on leaving again.

Welcome back man! Glad you're back your work is absolutely spectacular. Absolutely love the Sheva video it's so amazing, love the confident strut and Liz's sounds.
Hagisher
Glad to hear
Hagisher
I'm pretty happy with how much I've improved so hopefully my new animations will turn out even better
Hagisher
Thanks, I definitely have been a bit hard on myself but going silent for so long can do that. I'll make sure not to do it again.
Hagisher
Good to hear!
Hagisher
Sorry to make you worry, and I really appreciate it.

You’re back, you’re doing okay, and you posted a ton of content?! As far as I’m concerned, Christmas just came early!
The Cultured Lord
Going through all the animations now though, God it’s bloody good to have you back, you still got that awesome level of weight to your work. And the last one “A Little Too Enthusiastic” absolutely bloody marvellous! Same size with internals and the shifting of the gut was simply 🤌🏻
Aldron
Very glad to see that you are back used to love your old work to bits. Can't wait to see what the future holds!
The Cultured Lord
Yeesh dude, sorry things have been so hard but welcome back man seriously. Was worried you legit died or something. And thanks for posting all these, don’t let that feeling you’re not working hard enough get to you! Seriously so many vore animators all feel like this and it makes me sad it just seems to be so common with creators, we’re pleased with what you do! Frankly you’re the best SFM animator out there, so seeing you return was fantastic to see. But don’t let this feeling like you’re leaving us disappointed get the better of you, just do what you do best, but don’t treat it like it has to be the best at all costs! You’re just going to make yourself feel awful every time and then you burn out. Take it easy man and welcome back!

I stuck it out because I think your animations are incredible, but I was legitimately beginning to believe you had gotten hurt or died or something. I think it's a good idea to give updates, even if its to let us know you'll be on a continued hiatus.
Hagisher
That's cool to hear. I'm glad to hear that I inspired you. Love your animations by the way.
Hagisher
Glad you think that. I'm looking forward to this as well.
Hagisher
I really didn't realize how many animations I made while I was away until I started posting them
Bobby Mackolatoo
HELL YES!!! I was JUST talking to one of my patrons about hoping you are alright and wishing you’d come back! Funny how critical we can be of ourselves yeah? Wanna know something funny? The way you animate actually inspired me to animate with WEIGHT if that makes sense. Kept trying to figure out how your stuff looked so good, and then a comment on one of your posts made it click. To me, you’re one of the best animators in this community dude, and I look forward to EVERY post. Welcome back! Good to see you’re alright!

Glad you are back man, sorry you’ve been having a rough time lately, and as far as questioning your own work, I understand. I have that problem sometimes as well, but I just wanted you to know we all think your work is top notch, and we are looking forward to whats next.
John Doe
Oh hell yes, so glad to see you back! Made my whole week haha!
thiazi
Don't feel guilty over that. Plenty of writers and creators for this stuff disappear and never come back. I'm just glad you did and that you're actually back, not just a brief return to purge everything.
thiazi
One hell of a comeback too.
Hagisher
Sorry to make you worry.
Hagisher
Don't worry about it. I'm glad you like my animations
Hagisher
I'm glad to be back.
meh
I'm just happy to see you back
thiazi
Good to see you return, I thought you'd died or something. I hope things get easier for you going forward.
Djorge Mooney
Super glad you're back! I wish I could support you, I think your animation is great. You've done so much work while you've been away this is actually insane!
alec maros
That is great news
rmplays
That’s a lot glad your back
