Progress Update #79 (Patreon)

Man, I'm so glad that YouTube was fine with the video! I've seen so many animators having trouble lately, and I was really worried before uploading. Thankfully, it seems fine, at least for now.

Here are the rewards:

I'm still impressed with how long it took to finish this one. I think it took longer than the Ejected animation, and that had a lot more scenes and backgrounds! I guess it's just easier to paint the Among Us crewmates.

When I was drawing the animatic, I knew that Coco and the other characters were going to give me a bit of work, but I thought: "At least these backgrounds are super simple, so it's gonna be fine!". But it still took 2 months to make it!

I feel like when I start a new project I keep falling under the illusion that a short animation means easier and faster work, and that's clearly not the case. My art style doesn't help either, I spend a lot of time rendering each character in photoshop. Maybe I'll try something different with the next animation.

Anyway, I finally started sketching out a new banner for the 2manysnacks channel, and making sure that this thing works on all the different layout sizes is a little challenging because youtube doesn't let you adjust the size for each device, you just have to come up with this one magic image that kinda looks ok on all of them. I guess my solution is to just add a bunch of stuff everywhere... But yeah, I'm gonna try to finish this before the weekend. I'll also be editing some hololive clips to start work on the next animation.
