Crank it up, Nico! 1080p (Commission) + News (Patreon)

W / B 

Hey patrons, first anim of 2021. I've been working on commissions since I opened it last year. The next one is almost done. It needed sound work. 

For the Ivy Project, I talked to Alexia a week ago about redubbing the edited audio file I sent to her. There was a bit of confusion on my end. However, it worked out. I was saving up last month's earnings and this month's earnings in anticipation of a hefty invoice from her. Previously, the next scene was 2 minutes and 20 seconds long. Now, it is three minutes long; It will get a little bit longer. I am almost reaching the level of the Hsien-ko animation I did a year ago. Given the length of the scene, it's likely that it won't be done for this month. 

In other news, my winter break is about to be over in less than two weeks. It will be over just one day before my birthday.  Unfortunately, I will miss out on spring break because of the extended winter break. That's COVID, everybody. 

Speaking of my birthday, I was hoping to get a 4k monitor. That increased resolution would be very nice. 

The next thing I want to talk about is blender. Some of you might know on discord that I was working on Blender. I spent some time getting to know how stuff works i.e. shrinkwrapping, masking, etc. I won't be going to blender completely anytime soon. Just to let you know. 

Lastly, I am going to make changes to the commission page. Starting this February, I will add a $60 commission tier. It's the same as the previous tier, 30 seconds max. The only difference is it has the sound option. Recently for the past two months, there are two commissions that I really like. I like it so much that I want to have sound. The problem was the cost of hiring VAs. Depending on the VA, it might barely cover the cost from the $30 commission. I am going to add a commission tier. Maybe I am going to add a poster commission. Just maybe. There a couple of people dm me last year whether or not if I'm open for poster coms. I want to know if anyone that is interested in that. Who knows.

That's all I have to say. Quite a big update. Thank you to those who supported me. I hope you enjoy your stay. Anyway, I have to go eat now.
