Status Update (Patreon)

I know this update is long overdue and I kept putting it off, thinking it’d be better to share it alongside the new animation, but it's time to catch you guys up.

I recently hit a major burnout, which I couldn’t push through as I usually do. Instead of taking a few days to reset, I kept trying to force myself to work, which only made things worse. Eventually, I realized that taking a break was what I really needed. I'm back now, feeling much better and working on this final short animation.

During the last month, I went through at least six different animation ideas that I ended up scrapping because they just weren’t coming together the way I wanted, but I kept going through them 'wasting time' trying to make them work, when the issue was clearly me, not the animations. Taking a week long break away from the screen entirely helped me reset, and I finally landed on a new idea. This one will have more angles and features the classic GLUG GLUG action, which is always fun.

I'm still tweaking the lighting and angles, but I’m happy with the overall back alley vibe. I'm also experimenting with a different lighting approach than my usual style, so we'll see how that turns out. Sorry again for the radio silence, but we're back in action.

As always, thank you very much for the support and stay safe out there!
