November Progress Post (Patreon)

Sorry for the delay, but here’s this month’s Progress post! It’s gonna be a tad shorter than usual since I’m working on other commissions as well as prepping for my next DeathBattle animation.

I finished the Pyra video which should be up for Bronze shades members by now. While there are some things, I felt like it could have been a bit better in the animation, this was a great learning experience for using the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 models. I was also very proud of the anime sweat particles I made for this animation. You’ll see what I mean in the animation.

I also finished all the animation for Gohanverse Episode 3 and sent it to my audio editor. One of you guys asked me when I will drop early access for it, and I can safely to say it should drop near the end of the month. It all depends how soon my audio editor can get to it. In the meantime, I started work on Episode 4 of Gohanverse, which is more slower-paced than Episode 3 and I doubt it’ll take long to animate. In addition, I wrote a script for a Gohanverse special called “The History of Gohan Black.” As you can tell from the name, it will serve as an origin story for Gohan Black. I also want it to have it give a strong hint as the “big bad” for the series. Right now, the script's about 10 pages, so I anticipate it’ll be a 10 min long special. However, I will not begin work on this project until the end of this year. I want to see how popular Gohanverse gets before I continue any further. 

In other news, I finished two-thirds of the Coconut animation. However, I’m animating the VERY tough parts of the animation, more specifically the Coconut vs King Pandon parts of the video. This fight is…insane. Debris is flying around, Coconut is jumping all over the place, Pandon is firing his laser at her, and Blender lags when I pull up the animation. However, it’s exhilarating seeing how it comes together. I’m REALLY hoping I can get it done before December, but if I feel like it’s gonna take more time to animate, I’m going to push this to February of next year. I’m really trying to avoid it, but it might be unavoidable. 

As for the Oh My Dio sequel, I’m putting on temporary hiatus. Right now, I need to find a suburban setting for the skit, but it has been a lot more difficult than I thought. I might need to buy an actual model for it push comes to shove. 

That’s it for today’s progress post. I also want to stress to please check back on the Patreon blog this Monday as I will explain the situation with the Diorama perk. Due to how SketchFab is set up, I will need restructure the reward. Also, for Gold Shades members, I hope to drop the animation reward perk this Monday as well. I apologize for the delay, but I’m wrapping up SSJ Carter’s commission in addition to regular channel stuff. With that said, I hope you guys have a wonderful day or night! Laters!
