Whichever option wins (though there seems to be a clear lead), take care of your physical health. Your hands and wrists are an important part of what you do, and might possibly come in handy for other day-to-day uses as well. It's important to keep them healthy for years to come.

I don't mind the quarterly full-length animations. At least I know it's less likely to be rushed through.

love your content take your time be safe and healthy, as long as you doing good. I enjoy your content do what is good for you and I will be wait. take care

I said the longer animation with longer times, these animations are amazing and also I think it’s good that you take a break on them, we can be patient with these so you don’t have to rush the animation, just take your time on the animation without having to show it quickly

Animus

Love the content you make, I’d still love seeing full animation but would like for you to take the time and rest so you don’t burn yourself out so often. Better that then having you still do that even if it is shorter animation better take the time and rest so you don’t exert yourself even more

I guess shorter if I'm being honest. Least then it feels like I'd be getting my subscription worth instead of paying monthly for 2 or 3 animations a year.

Take your time on projects, People will still stick around, and you can always just post WiP and random illustrations if need be. Also I wear a wrist brace sometimes that keeps my wrist and thumb from moving too much while drawing at times if need be.

I have, I've been taking breaks more often, and I've also invested in a stand to allow my tablet to be in a better angle and make my posture better as a result. And thank you!

If long animations do become the choice, like they seem to be, I'll probably still sometimes release smaller loops for patreon, so that the only content is not just work in progress animations.

Have you considered massage therapy (along with taking it easier and finding a more ergonomic way to posture/work)? It can potentially be very helpful. I have a number of clients (I’m an LMT) with the same and similar issues as yours. We were able to affect change and make work possible again. BTW, keep it up…Your content is awesome! ❤️

Touch choice. Could you rotate. Have 6x short animations a year, and 2-3x longer animations a year?

Malarite

Id enjoy if the long videos lingered on small loops for longer

Please prioritize your health! The last thing we’d want is you to face significant burn out. Stretching it out to have a long form anim would work best for you to still come up with new ideas and keep yourself from working too much.

A change of pace will be good for you especially if your current status is affecting you in the worst way. Who knows it could work out better for you at least it doesn't hurt to try. I enjoy your animations but the last thing I want is for you to hurt yourself doing it. I think a longer animations with several months of work sounds like a good idea. That way it will give you more time to be creative and you don't have to hurt yourself trying to get it done quickly. I hope everything will work out in the end.
