Judy animation Update + Infos (Patreon)

Heyo Guys! How's going?

I'm here to tell you that I don't have big wips to show, but I still have a pic (one of the camera) for you.

Judy wip info:

I'm working on It, I had some problem that slowed me down.

I managed to improve the textures, wetness and worked again on the lighting and more details here and there (everything is still in WIP)

I've already animated the first part of this WIP (the WIP is the whole fingering part), but I'm working to add more cameras and variations.

Still need to fix stuff, test things etc.

I want to release the full Wip in january!

More info (about patreon and myself):

Heyo! I usually don't talk about myself, but this is the last day of the year, the third year since I started my patreon: A project created as a joke, but then became something bigger (this is another story tho). 

I want to tell you a bit more about the current situation. 

This month has been a bit tough, I could tell you many excuses like "My dog ate my project files" but I don't like to lie.

During this month I had a "little" mental burnout, If I have to be honest It's not the first one and I'm almost sure It didn't start this month.

This problem slowed me down, like a lot. 

I had the desire to animate stuff, but the ideas weren't there. Sometime I think I force my self to make a single project, when I should change and make something new.

I should rework how I make my stuff. Maybe release shorter, simple but still (hopefully) well made animations, and when I feel it's the right moment, when I feel inspired, make longer ones.

It's not easy tho, I'm stubborn and I always reach my mental limit, all because I don't want disappoint those who support me. As the result that I actually don't work well.

When I don't work as I want, when I open my projects and I feel like I have zero good ideas, I almost feel guilty. I really want make good works, but on the other hand I don't like the idea to make random stuff, loops, just to release something.

I like the idea to make stuff like the last Lara project, but the reality is that I can't always make those things. Sometime I'm limited by my hardware (Even tho It is still good hardware), but the worst enemies are my expectations and my mental health. 

I think I'm my worst hater, that's sure.

The level of criticism I have towards my stuff is too much. That helped me to improve, but It's not good for my mental health and it's really killing the fun to do what I do. 

I've still worked the whole month on the Judy project ofc, but just in this last week I started to work in a good way: I had many ideas that I hope to add and keep in this WIP.

After I release this WIP in january I will think what to do: Continue the Judy animation, pause/slowdown the Judy animation and make something short that I find inspiring or, after 3 years no stop, take a break and pause the Patreon.

We will see, for now I will work everyday to finish this WIP 🙂

Don't worry guys, I'm ok after all! I just want to make animations without feel too much stressed, but still release stuff that make you feel satisfied. 

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Happy new year! 😊
