September Update!
🕑 Added 2015-09-15 12:52:10 +0000 UTC POLL RESULTS:Dragon Growth 4 has won outright. The breakdown of first preferences are as follows:
1. DRAGON GROWTH ANIMATION PART IV: 54 (64.3%)
2. DRAGON GROWTH ANIMATION PART 1.1: 11 (13.1%)
2. SHORTCUTS: 11 (13.1%)
4. GYM RATS: 5 (6%)
5. DESKTOP GROWTH: 3 (3.5%)
Although runoffs weren't needed as part 4 won more than 50% of the primaries, the preference flow is still very useful for me to gauge what is and isn't popular with you guys. I'll be adjusting my future nominations based on that ^^.
WHATS NEXT:
So Part IV is my major animation which I will be working on over the coming months. Dragon animation 3 took a full year at a bit over two minutes, so in order to have part IV completed in 6 months or less, I'll be aiming for it to be about a minute.
However in addition to part IV, I am going to re-render part 1 in HD with the updated Andre rig, and give it out as video rewards for those pledging $10 or more. (and afterwards, part 2) Ultimately the goal is to have all parts merged into one production, which will of course be a HD video reward.
I will be making a few additions while I am going over this, including improving timing/shots, animating Renamon, and adding some limited new content (over the last month I animated about 8 seconds already). With the improvement in time and additional shots, I expect that it will go form being about 38 seconds to around a minute. However, that will be it. While Part 1.1 polled well, it didn't win, so I will not be investing significant time into it. There is also no ETA; but it will be released before part 4 is finished.
HD VIDEO REWARDS:
The $10 tier includes access to the HD video; however most months there will be no video. I really wish I could offer this as regular content, but such is the nature of making longer animations. However, some months I will have something to give (such as the aforementioned re-rendered dragon animations when they are done).
I have made a very short loop at the start of the month which I just finished rendering; its a simple m/m sexing loop based off the gym rats concept. I originally intended to have it released as a proof of concept to show before the ballot, but it arrived too late. I will be offering that as this months HD download, so keep an eye on FA for that anyway.
STREAMS:
Now I know what animation I am working on, I will start my streams ^^. I will do one this week; check back later as I will announce the exact time once I am clear on my schedule. It will probably start with some Andre facial reaction shots, so it should be pretty SFW fortunately/unfortunately.
FEEDBACK:
As usual please share any thoughts or concerns; I'm hoping to grow this page and the rewards around you guys <3

I agree. And I think a good power and force demonstration would be, if andre walks around a little bit. the best moment in part 3 is closely at the end, when he does some steps. More of it please.

Just a thought, have a look at basic screen recording tool, <a href="http://camstudio.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://camstudio.org/</a> also give <a href="https://gaming.youtube.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://gaming.youtube.com/</a> a go, do a "lets play" of Maya, or something =) I will be in and out of connectivity for the next while, but i'd love to really help you with the IT side of things (make your patreon run real smooth...) Message me whenever!

You need to speed up the growth in my opinion. In the first animation Andre grows many times as big as his original size. In the later animation the rate of the growth seems to decrease... He occasionally have some spurts. That's not what he deserves! He should stomp on the countryside. :P

I don't know anything about VODS; its something I'd be happy to look into if it was workable though! do you have any info/tips to that end?

Awesome, i'm so happy part 4 won! =). As a question / feedback Is there a way you can VOD your Streams maybe something like youtube gaming (i know art streams are not what it's meant for, but maybe bending the rules would be okay). People in different parts of the world might find it difficult to tune in.
