January 2018 Update (Patreon)

Happy New Years!  I figured I should probably start dating the year on these now that I'm overlapping.

This month I have 2/3 animations lined up depending on what happens, and there isn't really much else to say there.  Slowly I'll be weening myself off of SFM and adapting to Blender, but that process it going to take a couple months.  For now I'm just switching between the programs for when one is better suited for an animation over the other.

I hadn't really expected this to last very long.  It was always sort of a hobby for me, but seeing all the other people in the community jump into it as a full-time gig opened my eyes a bit.  I don't think I'll ever go the Patreon exclusive route, but perhaps I should start taking this more seriously rather than treating it as a back-up for money.

Doing it in my free time but also getting money from it I feel has stunted my improvement somewhat.  Aside from the switch to Blender, I feel as though I didn't improve as much in 2017 as I did in previous years.  This year I hope to accelerate things a bit.  That's about as close to a resolution I've got.

As usual, thanks for all the support.  I know you're not just virtual notifications that pop in and out, but it's hard to abstract this level of support.  Thank you.
