Channel Update
🕑 Added 2024-06-02 13:46:00 +0000 UTCHey guys!!!
After taking some time to recover from last years burnout I've been doing some thinking about this channel and how I wanna take it. It sucks to say, but I might need to change something to lessen my workload.
The average length and effort for these animations has increased significantly since I started out, with the first 2 animations being 0:16 and 0:44 seconds, and the latest animation reaching an insane 2:48 with full voice and everything (plus that 10 min one that was a lot).
While getting videos of this quality out monthly is really difficult on me, and I should be more responsible with not letting this animations get so long, I really do love making these big long high effort videos and would be a little sad to cut back on the production value.
It sucks, but what I think I'll try is instead of a full animation every month, every second month I just make 2 short animations like what I did a little while back. That way I can still output regular content AND get a chance to make my long quality animations, without getting burned out and having to take long breaks like I've done so often lately.
I'm really sorry if this is disappointing to hear, and its no stress at all if you gotta dip out. I'm just trying to get the healthiest relationship I can towards making content! It's a slow process of gradually feeling out what works best for me and for you guys.
Your support so far has been beyond fantastic, I'm constantly surprised by how nice you all are and it means everything to me!! 😭❤️
Ok with all that said, here is the options for next months mini animations!! I'll be doing 2 animations: whichever wins this poll, and another animation of my choice (maybe also from this poll). I'm excited to hopefully get through a few more concepts and chars with these shorts too, so expect potentially to see some new faces >:)

Whatever keeps you happy and healthy!!! I'm just here for the ride, your content is worth the wait :3

Absolutely! I'm sort of learning first hand how long it takes to make any form of animation more than thirty seconds :) Obviously, your mental health is more important. There's nothing worse than falling out of love for a passion because you're pushing yourself too hard. Even from a consumer standpoint, one of the reasons that I stick around is due to your passion and support for your projects and characters. Uninspired content ends up boring, lazy, and not really worth the watch. We all really enjoy the content, and you definitely deserve the breathing room.

Valid and balanced, animation is all about timing so whatever works best long term is what works best long term! I do reeeaaally want a long (forced/cnc/WG >:3) BE vid someday though :P

I have to agree with ladyluckfate trying to do all the animations by yourself can be really straining on a person I think they might want to find some more animator’s to help them out mmk.

At the end of the day, you are more important than your work. Taking care of yourself is a necessity.

Not disappointed at all! Heck. Honestly - joined ‘cause your stuff is cool and wanted to support! Beyond that, whether it’s one of this or two of that - “whatever you -enjoy- doing the most” is what I (and probably most other people) really wanna see :) … … … that and…… various of the themes mentioned in that poll.

Whatever you find easiest to work with. Your animations are always amazing, long or short.

Eh, I'm cool so long as I get to see your stuff - the sound design has always been my favourite part of it especially. Whatever works for you, it works.

Whatever works best for you I'm happy with, I hate seeing burnout so I don't want you to feel obligated to put out massive content every month like that. Take your time find the thing that works for you!

No worries Fate, your short animations are just as high quality as your long ones! Also glad to see your not burned out currently and wanting to get back into your work again :3

Hey, I say do it. You are only ONE person and doing a work load like that will burn you up like a egg dropped directly I multin metal.

To be honest two smaller uploads does sound a lot more manageable, the longer ones look like they take a lot of time and effort to make. I feel the vast majority of us here won’t mind the shorter videos with the occasional long one when you’re feeling up for it.
