grOw/cinema, Episode XVIII, previews 1-4 (Patreon)

It begins!

The first 4 frames have been completed* for the next issue of grOw/cinema (Ep. XVIII). (*Actually, frame 4 is 90% done, but I will finish it up tomorrow; the preview covers some of the area that is finished.)

I had some issues with rendering the background in the first few frames over the last few days, which caused a little production delay. Previously, the background would render in less than an hour. For 2 of the first 4 frames, one took about 18 hours and the other about 6 hours. I tried multiple times to speed up the process, to no avail other than to wait. Luckily, this background won't hold me up from here on out.
