Success!
🕑 Added 2024-11-19 16:07:21 +0000 UTCSuccess! There’s no other word to describe what’s happening here.
I might be repeating myself a bit, but I can’t help it, let’s go.
To everyone who’s been here over the past few months, this wouldn’t have been possible without your support and, most importantly, your patience. You’re amazing!
To all the new members a warm welcome to you!
As for goals, wow. I had set a target of 300 members, and I only expected to reach that by the end of next year at the earliest. I know many will stay for just this month, but even so, this is an incredible peak.
Now, about the journey of this animation, initially, it was supposed to be a short film, maxing out at 8 minutes, with a simple beginning and three animated loops. Production began in April this year with creating the outfits and adding functional mouths to the models. The environments were built, and then in May, the animations started coming together.
In June and July, unfortunately, personal issues heavily impacted the time I could dedicate to the project, this was the main cause of the delays. Tatsumaki had also won the poll and was being prepared for a long animation. Then, in August, under pressure from not having posted any content, I pushed myself into a burnout while working on Helen, and things started spiraling out of control.
By September and October, I had started so many animations that I still had unfinished pieces. That’s when my editor and I realized that just the animation work alone had exceeded the project’s timeline, and poor Tatsumaki was sidelined. So, we decided to make it something big again, and it became a rush to finalize the story renders. This, of course, created a workload my editor hadn’t anticipated, which is why we needed the first half of November to make everything fit.
Guys, this has been such a learning experience. I’ve discovered new ways to animate, play with camera angles, lighting, character rig editing, and model influences. I also explored Blender’s Ray Tracing update, among other things.
This community is truly becoming a game-changer in my life, and I’m committed to organizing myself better to give it the attention it deserves.
Thank you for reading all the way through. (✿◠‿◠)
