Salutation to all my brave spicy soldiers!
I hope you’ve been holding strong since the last post! First off, I want to apologize for the recent lack of content—starting a new animation project is always a long and grueling battle. From crafting the script (forged with the invaluable support of the newly formed Tier 3 Special Force), to laying out the storyboard (available for Tier 2 generals), sketching each shot, tackling the first rough animations, cleaning them up, and finally reaching the first official post… it’s a true endurance mission!
Every new project launch comes with a period of radio silence, which is exactly why I recently revamped and professionalized my production workflow—the goal being to work even faster and start a new project before the previous one even concludes! But this upgrade required some serious adaptation time, hence the particularly long content drought these past weeks.
All that to say: from now on, posts will be dropping much more frequently, and you’ll be more up-to-date than ever on the project’s progress! 🚀
For the most impatient among you, don’t forget that exclusive WIPs of the project are available for Tier 2 soldiers ($10+ patrons). These are uploaded alongside project updates (like this one) and are also shared occasionally on Discord in a private war room! The full storyboard and the first rough shots are already available!
Now, on to the real action! The first nearly finished shots of the project! 🎬
🔺The animation takes place in Momo’s room. She has to keep Okarun’s power in check, hence the raised hand toward him!

🔺The start of the spicy sequence. 😏 As you’ll see, Momo isn’t one to beat around the bush…

Normally, WIP shots are Tier 2 exclusives… but since I had to launch a call for reinforcements on Twitter (to recruit more assistants), I had to publicly post a few to catch some eyes and showcase the kind of work expected! Here are two of those WIP shots, meant to whet your appetite! Also, think of it as a little apology for the wait. 😇
🔺I told you she wasn’t wasting any time! 😏 You’ll soon see that this situation was accidentally (or maybe not?) caused by Okarun himself!
🔺This shot was shared publicly mainly because I find Momo absolutely adorable in it! I also want to mention that the down part has been drawn as well... 😎 Can’t wait to get this one fully cleaned up! What do you think?

That wraps up this post—I hope these first shots got you hyped! As I said earlier, new shots will be coming in much faster now, so stay alert!
Take care, my elite troops! 🚀🔥
