4th October 2021 Patreon Exclusive Animation
🕑 Added 2021-10-31 22:13:20 +0000 UTCHey dear patrons,
here comes the Patreon exclusive animation: Witches Threetjob. To be honest I planned to release much more content than just this single animated loop but I couldn't make it in time for the end of October. I worked hard and hope you will enjoy this single animated piece. I unfortunately haven't took the time to make warmups this week. I will give more details in the "Note" section.
Higher resolution versions are now available in the .zip folder links previously sent through private message (please let me know if you have any issue with the reception)
Be careful: the HD versions of the animation are rendered in APNG, a bigger format than .gif but not compatible with all image viewers.
The online public release is set for over a month mostly on Twitter.
***Note: as a challenge I attempted to make a few animated sequences around the 3 witches cuties as you can see in the rough animatic/storyboard there. It was quite ambitious from me. I hoped I could've finished it by now, through efforts and smart time saving decisions but no matter what, there's a point where you can't go faster in order to make something of decent quality.
I however managed to complete the most heavy part in term of quantity and framerate. The other sequences were supposed to have less frames and much more non moving parts.
So now I have something in mind: what should I do from this point?
I actually made some significant advancement on the uncompleted parts so it may only take a few more days for them to be completed. I think it's reasonable that I could finish them next week, alongside the usual fullcolor sketches.
But there's also another option: instead taking the whole month of November to push the quality of the remaining part further with a higher framerate and more details.
To be honest I may prefer the first option but I'm interested about your opinion on this matter.
As usual I invite the high tier membership patrons to send their next month requests as ahead of time as possible. It's really important now that I have a big week ahead.***
Stay safe everyone and thank you for being there.

Thank you! If I never worried about finishing stuff fast, my work ethics would be the same as back before 2014. I'm new at animating so it's pretty difficult to measure precisely how much time I need to make something decent.(even pros have a hard time doing that) I'm looking for a sweet spot where I can make polished stuff while not taking ages to finish them. The monthly pace is sometimes pretty limited when you want to make more than just an animated loop.

Of course! I promised myself to finish stuff even if I had to cut corners. Hopefully the result as a whole will be worth it.

This part alone is already amazing so I'd love to see the finished project... don't worry about finishing fast. Your work just gets more impressive every update and I very much look forward to seeing your continued progress!

I'd say finish it, since you've already done so much work on it
