February's Patreon Rewards Sent! (Patreon)

February's end of the month reward has just been sent to all the active Patrons! Thank you so much for your support, my beautiful sailors!! YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST!!

(TL.DR At the end of the post)

Now, this cap'n hasn't had too many hard months so far since this ship started sailing, but this February was definitely one of them, if not the hardest one! 

So thank you, my sailors! For being so patient with this silly captain, who apparently can't take a moment to rest even if life depended on it! Although, yer cap'n is doing much, much better, and yes, me hearties: the solution was, is, and probably will always be what you told me I should be doing: Resting.

So please, don't hold yourself, take a deep breath and release the 'TOLD YOU SO' in the comment section because I totally deserve it!

But not everything is currently grim on this amazing ship. On the contrary: there is great news coming down the pike: yer cap'n is finding ways of making all the software required for making the content work faster and with fewer issues! Finding better ways of improving the quality and most importantly to not meltdown the pc while using After Effects and live2D! Tell me if that isn't amazing news!!

Also, there is a little special surprise for this month's animation: our new Sound Designer is a great, great composer and has created a whole piece for Ruby's Animation! A beautiful gift for this lovely crew!! [Note: They haven't created social media yet. Will share their social media as soon as they launch it!]

And speaking of surprises, this captain understands how little content was created this month for my lovely Popcorn Cup ($5) sailors. And for that, I will be also including a surprise for you, me hearties! For you shall not pay for this captain's mistakes!

On the other hand, we also have so much content to explore, so many things happening in our favorite show and yer cap'n is getting SO thirsty for creating good and tasty art for you! Ah... Amazing pieces are coming together very soon, me mateys!  And some of them include a very pretty mirror on the ceiling, hihihi.

Yer Cap'n has been so absorbed into the workflow that I have completely forgotten how much of an achievement it is to actually create animations like the ones we are creating. And how lucky this captain is of having such amazing human beings backing up this project and helping so much to making it happen: Starting from you, my sailors, extending to the amazing designers and artists involved. 

Nothing of this would be possible without having us all come together on this adventure. And for that, I am extremely grateful.

Thank you, my beautiful sailors. You are the reason for this cap'n to live the dream. AND YES! YOU WERE RIGHT: I will slow down a little bit, to work faster and better.

YARGGG!!!

TL.DR: The Ruby animation represented a great level up for the animation quality, compressing a lot of stuff in more than three minutes of content! Yer cap'n experienced burnt outs throughout February, and be looking for ways of improving it. Getting more efficient in the process.
