July Progress Report (Patreon)

Heyoooooooo it's the end of July! I'm writing this in a Toyota maintenance waiting area. Let's talk about what I've been up to.

WHAT'S UP ON PATREON?

Here are the Patreon posts from this month:

- July Livestream Info!
- CRAFT STREAM! | July Goofy Livestream
- Finishing up the Collab | July Process Stream
- sneak preview of the collab video!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?

That pic at the top of the post is from the collab with Tom Cardy. As you can tell by the screenshot, it's a very normal and good video.

The video is mostly done, except for some final tweaks on the song and a subtitles pass which I'm currently baking into the video. But it's mostly there! As previously stated, it'll most likely be premiering at a festival sometime this fall, so you'll have to hold on a little longer for it to get published on my channel, but I put a sneak preview of the intro up for the Bold Donation Goofuses.

With that mostly sorted, I've been writing and rewriting some bits for this horror short I keep referencing. I haven't fully cracked it, but it's getting there, and I'm giving myself the time to make sure I really like it before hopping into production

Outside of that, I've continued to be abnormally busy with Thing I Can't Talk About. But Thing I Can't Talk About just wrapped up last Friday, so now I'm normal busy!

WHAT AM I UP TO NEXT?

Now that my schedule is back to normal busy, I'm throwing myself into the horror short script. I also have three lil weirdo vid ideas that I'm picking up in the lulls of the horror script. For now, I will codename those:

- dream raccoon
- embroidered menace
- chaka khan

My favorite way to procrastinate on big projects is to work on smaller projects. Don't know when/if any of those lil weirdo vids will come out, but whenever I'm fed up with the horror short, I'll hop into those ones for a bit.

I have a couple other projects on the horizon, like the thing with Dropout, but that's currently paused while they apply for an interim SAG agreement! The WGA/SAG double strike is in full effect, and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.

WHAT ELSE HAVE I BEEN DOING?

I've been spending the little free time I have on new hobbies, like sewing (hence the craft stream). I finally finished my first project, which is a wearable version of the Bokoblin Mask from Breath of the Wild! Here's a pic:

I've been having fun running around my house like a bokoblin. When I'm not, the mask just hangs on a banister like a cute version of Lord of the Flies:

Don't know what the next project will be, but it's been super fun to get back into a hobby I can't monetize! Although, technically, I am posting the hobby on my Patreon. So I guess it's slightly monetized. But what I'm saying is I'm not going to become a professional seamster anytime soon. It's just fun to make things with my hands.

THAT'S IT FOR NOW

Hope you all have a lovely start to August. I'm gonna try to get a video out in August 'cause it's been way too long. We'll see how it goes!
