Hello all you lovely people!!!

Thanks so much to patrons old and new for your support. I hope you're all safe and well!

Here is my first paper animation in a while- and without a doubt, the most complicated paper animation I've ever made! In fact, paper or digital, these if nothing else are the most drawn drawings I've ever had to draw for an animation.

The individual frames here are my Pen Pal drawings for the month (and will be shipped off in a day or two)- which is something I'm meant to do as an aside from the actual film I'm making. But I underestimated how much time this technique would take, and have spent a silly amount of hours (and pens) on this thing in the last few days trying to get it done in time.

So, this style may unfortunately be a little too detailed for future monthly paper loops- but I do love the look! I think maybe I'll have to do an actual short film expanding on this technique one day.
