Happy Holidays & Update!
Hey there folks~!
Stopping by to wish y’all a Happy Holidays~ ^^
And update on the new anim, my goal was to finish by year’s end, but it seems it will need just a bit more to have it all done. There is still a bit left in the year, but I’ll be needing just a couple of days more to put the finishing touches. The final stretch now, I appreciate your patience~! ^^
Shown here is a finished shot that was pretty fun to do :)
So, be seeing y’all soon, and I hope ya look forward to the year long celebration starting next year~!

When it will be part 2 of this excellent video ?
Will it be released before the end of this month
You could leave us a timeframe? I understand that animating is time consuming and takes extraordinary amounts of effort, but I feel like we should be given more insight into your work process so that we can have a better understanding of your timelines. I'm not asking for daily work updates, I just feel like you could be more active in describing where you exactly are in your work process and give us a quick overview of what that entails. With those videos, Patrons could pay to see more content while also learning about how much time we should expect between animations.
Hello~ The update is, well that I’ve been working on it day and night. Lol. Based on the nature of this work, Near the end of the process it actually becomes a time setback to take time and produce an update that is worth posting. All efforts goes into the ultimate realization of the project. I understand many are looking forward to it. I am as well to share it with you guys. As I said in my actual update though, I will be needing some time past the beginning of the year to wrap things up. I appreciate all of you that have had the patience and understanding. Now! Gotta get back to shading some frames~ ^^
I for one hope Taka is living his best life animating and not reading a single comment.
I realize it can be frustrating to not know exactly when to expect something. We live in a world of online tracking and instant order status updates and for the most part, the feeling that we know what to expect up to the minute becomes mainstream. But I think there are a couple of points to make here.... The first is that Taka never actually promised a date. His statements about having an original goal of the end of the year and needing a bit more time were used as input to people's internal date calculators. Specific promised delivery dates were inferred and expectations were set based on those dates inferred by the readers. And when those assumed dates turned out to be not correct, instead of realizing the assumptions made were perhaps mistaken, it is instead turned into negativity directed at Taka. I'd bet Taka's reading these and wondering how to respond in a way that doesn't open up more possibilities for disappointment... The second point I'd like to make is that to some commentors here it seems their expectations are very "transactional". I don't know it for a fact, but I presume Patreon is a name chosen because it's an engine (platform) that enables Patrons of the arts to support artists in their endeavors to create. This concept has been around for ages and Patreon is the online global Internet implementation of the concept. Perhaps the Patreon membership is intended to be for supporting and enabling a creative person to be able to create works to share with others for their enjoyment, and not so much about "purchasing or renting or even commissioning a piece of art" (which IS transactional). Patrons are here in support of Taka for a variety of reasons and are looking for a variety of benefits from the experience. It's clear that the works produced are very high quality and full of nuance and depth in characters, situations and stories. It says to me that Taka cares very much about what his work says about him and that he wants to be able to feel proud of his work. After all, it is creative work, and this is the Internet, where once something is released there's no taking it back. So I'd like to join some of the others here that show positive support and encouragement, as this is most certainly going to support Taka's creative flow and enable him to complete this work and share it with us all..
Im not trying to be rude, but many of uspay for our subscriptions based on what we are promised/ what perks were get. People paying $10-$20 a month are entitled to feel annoyed when the person we're paying goes radio silent so often. The quality of the work is great, but I feel like we could get more insights into progress and more information on timelines based on how much we are paying.
Are you ever gonna post it?
I check my phone literally every 15 minutes to see if the video has been posted hahahaha 🤪🤣
This has been a really trying period for me, and I must admit, I'm struggling to understand why.
See now I don’t want to sound desperate, but you gave us a time frame, and it goes past that. If you can’t adhere to it which is understandable it was Christmas/New Years all you have to say it will be delayed again. But leaving us in the dust with no update is where the problem lies
Will it be out before New Years?
I doubt so, perhaps Jan 1-2
Can't wait for your next masterpiece. Merry Chistmas!
🤤
Merry Christmas
happy holidays!! looking forward to the new animation 🔥
Thank you, Taka. Happy holidays
