Covid in Italy and completing Sekirot

Hello guys,

things have been pretty nasty in my country, as you've probably read from the headlines all over the world. Thankfully though, my region specifically is not on its knees as much as others. Just 300 miles from where i live we have one of the highest death rate areas in the world (Lombardia)....it's really scary to think about it. 

I mentioned on the last update (end of March)  that my health was really shitty, but after that episode (probably a minor virus that went away, my doctor thinks) i was able to spring back up, aided by some good exercising every week! A smart decision in hindsight...

As for my lifestyle, things have not changed that much, i'll be honest. On average, when i'm working on these projects, i tend to quarantine myself all the time....especially in the crunch time leading to the completion (like right now). I just go out to buy groceries and sometimes visit my family. It's a lifestyle i'm used to, and i don't suffer from staying at home. Also, my family is doing fine! <3

On the other hand, the quarantine has brought some logistic problems, like buying food. Me and my sister (who lives in the same building complex) we are constantly planning who is going to buy the food or if there's any slots available to get food delivered (which is the smart way, cause we all should avoid contact we other people). Another important thing is staying informed, every day I do that. Probably out of concern and a bit of paranoia then anything else , but hey...it doesn't hurt, right?

There are some inconveniences too in regards to Sekirot. One of my voice actors i haven't heard from him for weeks, which is worrying, and i'm not sure if i should look for somebody else for the job. Also another voice actor (friend of mine who is american but lives in my city, he was Andre in Dork Souls) can't be here to record because of the quarantine! I'm trying to take things day by day and solve these problems. But I won't let anything compromise the animation, you have my word.  The quality of the final product it's ALL it matters, we have come so far and this is my most polished work to date.

Speaking of the completion of the toon: I have fully colored the vast majority of it, and it looks...amazing! What's missing now is this: the Genichiro fight, half of Lady Butterfly's and the Last boss. Each are going to take a couple days to complete. This toon is truly what i wanted to achieve when i started it, i wanted to blur the lines between a Youtube animation and a professional Anime. There are many surprises peppered throughout, that i'm not going to mention.  A single word would spoil the surprise. I will also not show any more teasers. It would be cruel after all to hype the visuals more, because i made you guys wait already so much.

There's also a couple of animation streams (3 more) remaining. I would love to see you guys there to chat and chill together, we really need some interaction in these times, to share our experiences and find some catharsis.

One last thing:  my job is one of the few that (for now) are not suffering as much as other people's. I'm privileged guys..... So to you kind people who support me, please consider stopping your pledge if your finances are at stakes. You can come back later of course, and i would really appreciate that. But right now you have to think about yourself, your family and your future. I really mean it.

Stay safe guys, and follow my daily mantra....... "stay-yo-ass-home"! <3
