Ahoy me hearties!! 

(There is a TL;DR: version at the end :3)

I got amazing news for the crew!! Amazing and terrible, so let's start with the amazing ones!: The new technique is working soooooo well! I am quite proud of how things are looking and how color palettes don't look that saturated (and therefore cheap). Mostly when it comes to our amazing Jessie! She deserves only the best! And face expressions are also a thing that has gotten improved! So happy about this last one too!

Now the terrible news is about the time loss yer captain got last week: I want to be 100% straight forward with you, my sailors, so please let me share with you a little bit of the issue I had:

I hired an animator who is extremely skilled who was expensive, yet I accepted because I can only accept greatness for my crew! This animator, once the first Jess animation was finished, told me that his price was actually the double of what we agreed, and due to taxation and other unfortunate spices and herbs, it ended being about x3 times the first price we agreed.

Naturally, I lost quite a bit of hair (literally) trying to find ways on how to deliver this month's promised animations... luckily enough, an amazing sailor among the crew, LeGourmet, saved the week by sharing a few puppet animators that could aid in the situation! And so, the danger was averted. But with a big loss of time. The time that I will recover luckily enough since we have so many other pieces to come!

We might have started this month in a rough way, but we still have the rest of it to get back on track!!

Thank you so much to everyone who supported the sad and tired Captain these days, you are really the best and I would definitely not be able to do any of this without you!! Thank you to the whole crew, for being such unconditional and loving human beings!! You are the best!!

TL;DR: Happy with the quality of this piece! New animators getting to the crew+trouble caused by the previous one :3
