Some more WIPs and follow-up to last post (Patreon)

Thanks everyone who responded to my last post about hiring an animator to animate a music video.  Overwhelmingly you were fine with it.

But!  Thinking it over since, I've realised that it would make more sense for the animator to work on the cartoon I'm making at the moment, I'm a Horse.  There's really no reason to ask him to animate something new, I'm not sure why that didn't occur to me first.  So now I'm a Horse will move along at more than a snail's pace hopefully.

I tend to work on the cartoon as much as I can on the weekends and work on the Fernando comic during the week nights after work, so the cartoon's progress has felt a little slow.

Also, I wonder if I really have any songs that are super strong that I haven't animated.  I think Horse Person is pretty good, but it's another horse song...  Although that could make an interesting career transition.  Sexualobster, the guy who now refuses to work on anything that does not feature horses.  I would have done more song collabs but I've got the comic going on and I don't want to start too much stuff and not finish anything.

The gif at the top of the post is the stomped farmer, he no longer turns into Treshtog the orc now, but he has Treshtog's recoloured legs and right arm.  You might be able to see he still has Treshtog's boots as well.  Still a couple of little touches like his shadow and also I'd like to make the clouds in the background move but this one's pretty much there.  I might animate the horse eating grass too.

Likewise, Stormhorse shot is almost done.  I will give the human observers some movement, and I don't think there's enough shit yet.  To be honest I just got bored of animating shit so that's something I'll have to come back to when the mood takes me.

The lyrics for this shot are "mums, dads, tiny children" and in the next shot the song goes "i'll crush them all".  I feel kind of bad animating a horde of little children getting stomped by a horse, not least because it actually happened to me when I was a little child, my mum's horse trampled me.  I was fine, I got bashed by the horse's torso and went under the hooves but none of them stomped me, not that I can remember anyway.
