W2H2 Rough Animation 14 (Patreon)
Content
Hey guys!
I was really hoping to have that cleaned up sequence done so I could post it this time around, but unfortunately I got hung up on the backgrounds. The thought of just slapping on some "placeholder" BGs felt like a waste of energy, so I started really trying to figure out what the backgrounds should look like (with the help of my roommate!), and working on those. I'll include the progress on those in the $1 tier post so you can see where I'm at, 'cause I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what Jonathan's room should be like! Anyway, maybe I'll post that later in the month if I can bust it out before the next big post. But the cleanup and color on the characters for this sequence is all done!!!
I've been in a slight funk, lately, which I might detail in another post. But the short version of it is that the thought of organization and production on W2H2 is very daunting and mentally exhausting to me, whereas waking up every morning and just ANIMATING is easy and cathartic, 'cause I can just shut my brain off and create. The "running a project" aspect and bringing other people on board would certainly help things along, but I keep burying my head in the actual animation, 'cause that's where I'm comfortable. Anyway, I've just been grappling with those thoughts a bit lately and maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to post about it. We'll see. IN ANY EVENT, I am still making progress, and I'm not experiencing burnout, so I'm all good on that front! I'm still passionate about what I'm doing, I just feel like I don't have the energy or money to drag anyone else into this madness right now, haha.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this month's haul! Stay safe, everyone.
