Switching Projects! (Very Important) 12.10.2018
🕑 Added 2018-12-10 12:41:47 +0000 UTC Okay, okay. Truth time. There's no getting around it - I'm pretty bored with the current project. I've been working on it far too long and I have about 15 other, really exciting ideas that I've been aching to get to.I tried the new animation workflow to speed up my work and make me more motivated, but it just does not work. I always get sidetracked by something I'd rather be doing, like new models.
I'm now back to wasting a huge amount of time and the Patreon is turning into a graveyard again. And it's really for no reason.
I've been working on this one project for 10 months now (Jesus it's been that long?? I didn't even realize). And I've only got less than 90 seconds of animation done! While that is acceptable, for an example, 2D artists, I used to work way faster than this!
Yes, half of that is that I switched to Blender, where everything takes more time with a better result. But the other half is this.
I cannot make large projects anymore.
The most exciting things that pop in my head are actually very brief in execution - I really love the concept of short snapshots into my characters' lives.
Modeling the characters, clothes, making a scene well are things I now really look forward to. But spending 10 months on a single project all by myself? I don't think so, especially when most of that time is animation.
In TK17, I used to make 10 minute videos in a couple weeks sometimes. That's because all of the scenes and models were premade, and a lot of the animations were too / I recycled my own animations.
But Blender doesn't have that, and my standards are different now, and some of the janky animations to ease my workload just aren't acceptable to me anymore.
I'm afraid animation just isn't the fun thing it used to be. So I gotta step back from trying to animate very large projects. It clearly just does not work out.
I've been biting more than I could chew this whole year, and I'm sorry. If I realized this earlier and moved on, I could have been posting new, diverse content that you guys could have been enjoying this whole time. Not to say you haven't seen the occasional side projects that I pump out, but they could be even more!
So here's what's next. I want to get into fluid physics. Laurene is gonna jizz right on the lens in a very nasty fashion. I think it's gonna be really hot. That sounds like fun. >:)
As always leave any thoughts in the comments, negative or positive.

Now there is an awesome supporter. Make sure you keep this one Lit :-)

I appreciate the update. In all honesty I enjoy your work, so as long as you are continuing I will stick around. Long or short animation doesn't matter to me. I am a firm believer in you have to love what you do, otherwise what is the point.
Love your work but will be better if you put more full videos

That makes sense. I'm not in refusal to work on this project ever again, but right now it has lost all it's vigor and I just want to be able to create things to put out there again. I also have a hard time figuring out what kind of timeframes people are expecting, so I've assumed patience has ran thin by now and it was very much getting to me. It felt important however to come out and announce this situation right now with a bit of bravado because I really don't want people to spend money on something even -I'm- not sure will come out.

I didn't see any problem here. I worked on my current project for 2 years now and it is "just" a book. If you create new character models of course it needs time, but if you done with them and all their physics working well, you will speed up again. What you also can do you publish your bigger animations in parts and not in total/ complete and if you're done with the last part of the animation you upload the complete animation. I have more then 20 projects in my mind and i actually working on 3 other stories, 1 animation and 1 picture to have some variety, only working on one project is to hard/boring for me too.^^

*hugs* It'll be alright...

Well as far a blunt honesty goes... :-)

To be truthful I feel a little strung along.

I joined because of your previous work of which there was some but it doesn't seem like there is much coming in the future. You kept telling us there would be so in short when you get some I will be back instead of this just putting us of stuff that has been going on.

I just want to see hot futas with huge floppy cocks.

So no more long (10 min+) animations...if true, I'll be jumping ship, sorry.
