Thank you everyone for your support! (+General Information)
🕑 Added 2021-05-02 00:41:15 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say again thank you so much to everyone that is supporting me here =D You guys are just the absolute best!
Currently working on the popping version of the new vid Ill try my best to get it done soon :3
General Information and what I think about and plan to do this month
(Very long self reflection on how I do things)
1 (Sneak Peak Uploads)
Recently these past months I feel like I've been getting slower and way more disorganised in making these videos and it seems to be piling up onto how I do things on Patreon but not in a good way. 1 being that i feel like I'm not being informative enough to my Patreons with how production is going on a video thats being made.
So to solve this issue Ill try to actually post sneak peaks of videos and new things thats being made and post small clips/gifs of a video to give better insight of what is to come! I know that I said Ill upload sneak peaks in the past but I feel like I've been neglecting and forgetting about doing that or they feel very lack luster.
2 (Informative and More Uploads)
I also feel like I've been ghosting my patreons by not uploading anything at all until around 2-3 weeks into the month which i feel to be very very irrresponsible of me for not keeping my patreons satisfied especialy since money is involved.
To solve this one I will upload new features and updates I am making to my models as I generally work on fixes and new rigs and inflation stuff when I am not making a video yet. I will also try to upload mini animations again but they will just be simple loop type gifs~
3 (Upload Schedule)
I know these past months aswell I have been putting far too much work for myself to the point where I just shut down and end up not making progress on videos even if I tried because I become too overwhelmed, but this is mostly due to my own fault because I don't plan things properly and everything becomes too disorganised and my brain keeps overthinking things making me stressed out when easily if I had thought about it and taking things slowly its actually not that all bad.
To solve this one on the first week of the month I will try to work on improvements and fixes on models and features. Upload the stuff I've been working on.
If there is no improvements or fixes then on the 1st-2nd week of the month I will upload mini animations on stuff that I want to test or just renders of new stuff I'm making~
Then on the 3rd week I will continue to plan and work on a full animation and upload whats being made.
Then of course on the 4th week I will try to finish up the animation and have it uploaded~
I don't know if Ill do this all in order but this is a plan I hope to set out for myself~
Last bit of stuff I wanted to say
I just have this odd and very disgusted and guilty feeling that I'm on the path to something that isnt good and I feel like I've done something wrong. I felt extremely proud and satisfied and happy when I finished that new video but after 1 day, currently 1am right now I just got hit by that disgusted feeling like I just did something wrong outside of the video.
And I know deep down its because I was uploading less and less and being more reclusive as the months went by. Like that last video was uploaded on the last day of the month and I dont think that was the first time I did that which I frown upon so much.
I know I was in the hospital aswell this month but I still don't like using that as some sort of excuse or crutch when I literally still had 25 other days in the month to work on stuff.
But this is just my rambling or self reflection on how I'm gonna improve this month
This was a very long message to read but I just wanted to say thank you all again so much because you guys literally help me pay my bills to basically keep me alive :p
Thank you love you all <3
If you have some tips on certain aspects you want improved feel free to comment em~ Im willing to read them!

Thanks so much but dont worry I'm not rushing my animations its just my methods of working has become so disorderly and everywhere these past months its seriously affecting how I work so I'm gonna take a step back and see if I can solve this issue by changing the way I plan and progress through projects~
Catsikune
Thanks Ill keep that in mind, its just i got a little dissapointed because I only really uploaded 2 posts last month when I could have easily uploaded some progression rather than staying silent.
Catsikune
Thanks! Ill make sure not to overload myself aswell~

In the wise words of Miyamoto, “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” I don’t mind waiting longer if it means the cattos grow bigger or better, and I’m sure many fans feel the same way. I’ve loved your work ever since I discovered your first 2D animations, and they’ve only been getting better from there. You’re one of the highest quality animators I know of, especially after the death of Flash, and I’d hate to lose you to burnout or stress. If you need breaks, I understand. With how good your prices are compared to the animations you put out, I’d gladly wait 2 or even 3 months between videos if it meant you kept making them in the long run. Keep up the amazing work, and keep pumping those cattos bigger and bigger.
