Progress Report, 29/09 - 23

Hello everyone and welcome to another in the line of progress reports!

First up, I've sorted out the "Collections" to the best of my ability. Tags thankfully persist at the bottom of the page after you click "Collections" on the main page it seems, and while they don't seem to function well for myself (probably because I'm the creator of the page) others have told me that they still work for them, so I will continue to be very firm in maintaining character tags and the likes for the sake of browsing. Still, do tell me if there is some major Collection you feel is missing, and I'll see about adding it.

In more meaty news, the Ivy project has reached such a point where I'll need to finalize the script properly in order to continue work on it. This is usually the specific juncture at which I overcome my social awkwardness and go and listen to about 50 demo reels or so to find someone fitting, and with Ivy's unique voice I have a feeling it'll be quite the hunt indeed. It's my hope to have the script sorted by next week so that I can at least approximate the length of various scenes, leaving lip-sync for later, but still enabling me to work on other important bits, this to have even more work done for next Friday. This is already, by far, the project to contain the most custom animation work of mine out of anything I've done previously, so I hope that the extra effort really will shine through.

I've also finally gotten a bluesky account alongside my cohost one, having upgraded my weapons arts to fit dual wielding social media pages, this in the event Twitter goes down the drain. For those interested you can follow me over on those, though bluesky is severely lacking content at the moment with me having just grabbed the username. While cohost already is a mirror to my Twitter, I figured I'd start doing the same over on bluesky with this upcoming Monday's loop and going forward.

I'll probably update the main sticky with my socials, but I've done enough darn administrative work for today :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words. The weather remains cool and appropriately autumn-like, meaning I can finally wear some of the more comfortable clothes I own (I have missed you, trusted wind jacket) while drinking more coffee than healthcare professionals would consider advisable. Hope you're doing well out there, and that your weather has reached a similar stage of normalcy - it's been weird lately.

Thus, take care of yourselves, and each other!
