Happy New Year 2026!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaai everyone! Happy New Year! Dang it's 2026 already... I hope y'all had a great 2025, for me it was a big one, hit a lot of goals and now made some new ones! Did you make any fun resolutions?? How'd that weird post-xmas pre-New Years time of the year go? For me it's always a foggy slog.
I wanted to thank you all again for your support over the past year. Back in July of 2024 I had a lil pipe dream of going fulltime with Patreon. I gave myself 6 months to see if we could make it work and so far, thanks to you guys, I have been able to be fulltime with it for a year and a half already! (Tho one of my resolutions is to stop putting in 14 hour days cause... I feel it fellers. We'll cut it off at 9... or like 12 max.) So thank you very kindly, I appreciate the support and I always strive to bring ya the best h-e-n-taaai that I can. This is my most fave job I've ever had.
Update time!
Got a few shots done this week, my first time animating a proper DP (Ada's was a cheated side view so it didn't quite count imo) and my goodness it's a lot harder than I suspected! But after 3 full redos, we got there.
I also did some behind the scenes admin stuff, worked on a script that's been on the backburner for a bit, hired a storyboard artist to board it out, and I've been in chats with three animators about lending a hand here and there to speed things up. All stuff I'm real excited for!
Here's where the film is at, spoiler gifs below! (The moment many of you have been waiting for hehe)
