General update and Project Status
Added 2019-07-16 02:12:39 +0000 UTC
First and foremost sorry for the long silence, for the past 2 weeks I’ve been working day and night trying to make up for the lost time of last month. Truth is I wanted release 3 other animations as well as continue work on the second segment of “The project” but the animations just weren’t in a state ready for release(bad/rushed quality) with the time-frame I set up. After a week of working on “the project” while doing 5-8 hour criminal jury sessions I couldn’t do it anymore, the stress was too much and I needed a break during that time.
Segment 2 is currently 2 1/2 minutes worked with a little over 1 minute finalized and projected to be 10-12 minutes in duration. This may not sound like much but bear in mind this is with 3-6 actors in every shot doing various different movements in addition to working on other animations. For example my most recent shot has all 6 characters in the shot and 5 of them are transitioning to new positions. All the girls have different motivations that drives the scene and story forward, I want to give more details on that as well as screenshots during the halfway point of segment 2.
I have a few videos coming up, however I need a few days to finish one of the last video as well as editing and adding/editing sound to what is currently finished. A short video of Alexstrasza that highlights a lot of how I am animating the current project, 2 minute Zamus video and a couple of short loop videos. I apologize if I haven’t gotten to your video yet, I will try to work on what you’ve asked for when the current time-frame is in a better spot in regards to “The Project”.
Last month kinda kicked my ass, a lot of stress, frustration and self-doubt swirled in my mind. Best I’ve done and can do during this time is double my efforts. It’s costed several hours of sleep every day but I’ve got quite a bit of work done in these past 2 weeks, I just need a little more time for this Zamus animation. Thank you for your patience and continued support, unfortunately I’ll have to reply to your messages in a later time since I am relentlessly focused on animating at this time.
There are more animations but a few screenshots have been posted below.

Welcome back, I always forget you only post here once a month. Shame about nothing getting released this past month, but The Project is sounding proper beefy at least. Sorry to hear your jury duty stretched on so long

2019-07-16 02:43:11 +0000 UTCI understand completely. I'm in a somewhat similar situation myself, but I wouldn't compare them at all. Everyone deals differently. Best of luck, Sec. You know where to find me if you need me.

2019-07-16 02:42:54 +0000 UTCGood to see you as well, I will once this zamus animation is done but I can't get distracted at the moment. I very behind where I want to be at the moment so I can't help but think about the time constraints.
