Planning for Aegir and other things (Patreon)

Hi, sorry I'm late with uploads again, there have been a lot of bottlenecks this month, mostly in regards to audio work as per usual. I will be having to take drastic measures to hopefully have the issue resolved. In the meantime I've finally readied my new Evie model which I will be testing out on an animation with her. That should hopefully fill the void of animations that exists curently and leave you wanting for more with her. You'll be seeing a lot of her I can assure you already.

During Novermber I was feeling very exhausted working non stop 13-14 hours a day for almost two years, having a lot of people put immense pressure on me or people badmouthing me for not making animations of their favorite characters was very stressful and that combined with the bleak outlook of the future of europe had been dragging me down severly. Now after having been forced to take a short break , I'm back with full force and you will be seeing a big wave of new animations coming soon.

The more important topic at hand is Aegir. I'm going to be spending the majority of December working on her animation which is estimated to be roughly 10 minutes long. If all things go well, it will be ready for christmas, but please take it with a grain of salt as there can always be a lot of unexpected issues when working on such a huge animation project. To negate this, I'm going to be posting a few shorter animations as well and maybe even the second half of Poppi, although no guarantees on that. 

Something I've been wanting to add to the animation but have been unsure about was an extra growth sequence. Many people are not a fan of first person growth and to tackle this I figured I could make a sort of prelude that takes place before the events of the full animation as a sort of testing grounds for the technology that is used on her. The scenario would involve her growing inside and out of a lab environment as seen in the image sequence, it serves as a storyboard for that scenario. Please let me know waht you think of the idea, sorry for being lazy and writing a wall of text and thank you again for your support!

Dude you always do a good job. Always up for everything you release. Ignore the trolls, they do not understand how much work you've put into these animations.

It’s okay Lajest, you deserve a good rest, what’s more, thank you for uploading all those cool animations, you’ve been constantly getting over it, take it easy and without pressure to avoid stress. Regarding Aegir, it catches my attention a lot, it’s better than the first person, I really want to see it when it’s finished. With Evie Sadako more of the same thing, I’ve been very intrigued with her for a long time. Good luck and good night, Lajest.

Having a break time also important. thanks for the status update, Aegir looks fantastic

Jack Trewick

Don't listen to them brother, you're excellent at what you do.

Mark16

Glad that a break could reduce your stress, Lajest. Thanks for your status update, everyone here likes you.

Sizefag Supreme

The idea behind the prelude sounds absolutely amazing and the preview looks great. Really looking forward to the finished animation, but please take all of the time that you need so you don't overwork yourself

A person who works 12-14 hours a day for two years cant reasonably call themselves lazy. You're clearly anything but. I'm certainly not someone who's going to complain at you for taking too long or not making animations of things I want, as far as I'm concerned you're making stuff you like and I also happen to like and that's why I support you. If other people think they're entitled to your time, effort, and experience, they can go fuck themselves and learn animation on their own to make the things they want to see. If you don't take breaks and keep yourself well rested your quality will decrease just as it would if you rush things just to meet arbitrary deadlines which will probably make you more and more unhappy and stressed as a creator. Don't get me wrong, its important business wise to be reliable and to do what you said you would do when you said you would do it, but not at the expense of your health. So don't commit to more than you can reasonably handle and things should be fine.

Dude you are creating the outstanding content, you definitely deserve a break

Speed_Sound_Sonic

Just ignore this idiots! The animation's you do is totally worth the waiting

KNekoSpy

I think you put in an astounding amount of effort and are probably the best content creator when it comes to animated size. I feel like you do need breaks though and part of the reason may be that you're widening your scope too much? You have a LOT in the backlog, and tend to start new stuff while other things are WIP. I really think you should focus on narrowing down what you have to finish, decide what you don't want to finish, and get things more manageable before you keep adding and adding on top of your pile. Regarding the aegir animation, I don't think it needs that extra sequence in the lab. It would just kinda pad things IMO, and it's just extra work. Focus on the meat of the animation-- I say, but it's really up to you!

Art takes time, it is understandable. As for your reasons, I can't exactly blame you. Take the time you need. Looking forward to more things from you

Landarting

i think that we are all in agreement here that rest is something we all need and no one here is going to blame you for getting as much as you need. regardless what people say you work so hard on these animations and the quality is top notch so dont let them drag you down. we are here to support you all the way.

LeMontage

Take your time all of your content is top tier. It’s well worth the wait. Don’t burn yourself out most of the reason for creating art is it’s something you enjoy! I’m very excited to see your OC Evie and I’m big excited for Aegir. That would be one of the best Christmas presents ever!

McDead

That looks incredible! Take all the time you need

Eugenefindit

You are seriously going to add an extra plotline to the Aegir video? That was already like one of my favourite videos from you. Now I know what I'm gonna be hyped up for throughout this month. Whether I'm able to control my anxiety from that hype or not still remains to be seen. 😁

Pantuflin

I love your animations, take as much time as you need, I will continue to support you.

SpaceCowboy_Bebop

Hi Lajest, I think you have a good idea on making the additional prelude animation as a testing bed. You will be able to iron out any modeling trouble on a shorter render project. That will save you time and frustration on the larger 10 minute project. Good project management.

HoglinMaster

Take your time as you need, sir! there is no need to rush :)

Sera

Take your time, those renders are great!

Sobrienc

don't push your self too hard!! Your amazing at the work you do and I don't mind waiting for the quality you have! Just take it easy for your mental health I'm sure all your true fans will understand don't let people like that bring you down!!

As an avid key clicking, text writing enthusiast I’d never be dissuaded from any such column of words that should happen across my sight. Yours especially. I enjoy this pseudo inner monologue and candid means by which you address us. If there’s anything I’d take away from this read, it’s further reinforcement of why I support you so wholeheartedly. While on the topic of words and being an admitted follower of yours on your other socials. I do so appreciate your wit and humour that you express in each respective post across every platform. The extra thought and care are well appreciated as you take the time to give each post a unique feel. I’m wholly convinced that the best way to enjoy a post of yours to the fullest, is to give each social in turn a visit. Equally, characters of the word variety are not your only speciality seeing that I’ve had the good fortune of seeing what’s instore as ‘characters’ being brought to life in the no way ‘close chested’ Evie reveal. It seems we’ll be plenty in supply and demand in what is sure to be a reciprocal market endeavour. I’m shocked and appalled at how these individuals have acted towards you. I only hope, to which I’m very much encouraged having read many of the comments here, that we can support you in greater measure. You’re truly a kind person Lajest and I want to ensure you can keep being you. A break can be good for a variety of reasons, sometimes we need to step back and take count. I’m glad, albeit forced, that you had some time to yourself. Rest is important and there’s not a soul that can say you don’t deserve it. I’m elated that Aegir will be getting much of your attention come December. I can only imagine as to what such extra time and focus will yield! This is going to big! For a variety of reasons~ With the smaller animations always being appreciated. I’d be crazy if I ever uttered the thought of not wanting an extra growth sequence. Added, I do like the use of first person, on both sides, and can say that it’s nice seeing what the protagonist sees or rather does not see in relation to the ‘impediments’ to their vision. If you ever feel the want to do such a perspective in the future, know I’m here for it! Loving stories and world building, the idea of a prelude is nothing short of brilliant. What with the expansion it grants to the scene and the character themselves. Their motivations and actions having greater meaning in the ensuing acts. This to say nothing of the fact that I adore the idea of self-made monsters. Something akin to humanities’ arrogance made manifest and being the harbingers of our own destruction. The previews themselves are gorgeous, it’s as if I’m seeing teaser posters for an upcoming cinema debut! With her bursting out of the building being my favourite shot. Got to love big girls in cramped spaces, the raw destruction caused by extension of their growth and the physical acknowledgement that they now play by a different scale. There’s something exciting about the concept of running out of room whilst that very space is being occupied and warped to bend to that which it’s trying to contain, with the inevitable conclusion of giving out against the unstoppable tide. Suffice to say, growth in and outta building is great! I’m 100% down for the proposed idea pitched in the storyboard. The subtly placed channel logo is a reference I thoroughly approve of. I like the idea that the reality you’ve conjured contains self-inserts that at least for me form a bridge between us and the work itself. Not to mention it’s good for branding! Then I got to wonder… given its’ design, perhaps the chopper alludes to a potential escape? And the question of which of the two is faster: flight speed or growth~ Having said all that, I believe all that’s left to say is “It’s so cool, sonuvabitch.”

Thank you for always making great videos. I always enjoy watching your videos. You mentioned that the video production is delayed, but it's only natural that you're busy with other things. Don't worry about people who speak ill of you. People who say that are probably envious of you for having such a high level of skill. Or you are a very lazy person. No true fan should care about being late. I support you from the bottom of my heart. Good luck. From a Japanese fan. (I'm using Google Translate, so the sentences may be strange. I'm sorry.)

your output is amazing to be completely honest, i've never been dissatisfied

Eugenefindit

Oops. I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to. I'll try to be mindful of that next time. In any case, good luck to your projects. 😁

Sobrienc

I would totally understand if you drop the number of small animations and just take your time on larger ones I look forward to your content every day I love any content but I don't want you to overwork so I wouldn't mind if you dropped a few small animations just to lower the amount of hours you have to put in don't overwork your self your great at what you do! And your content is better than anybody I've seen!! No need to stress your self out trying to put out quantity you already give us amazing quality
