Afternoon everyone. I wanted to do a public post to why I have been doing this :D
I got a few personal messages and comments about burning myself out and some other things and I wanted to talk for a few minutes here.
Also I have been busy and I haven't been able to respond to everyone who has contacted me. I am trying to but if you have something important to ask make sure to ask!
If it's important, please make sure to say more than "Hello!" so I know it's important :)
This challenge has a few purposes:
To reboot myself to working regularly
Setting a better schedule than I have.
Efficiency, like skipping tiny problems in the video and models.
Get in the mental habit of working regularly again
Catch up on videos I've started but didn't finish
Also get some balloon and bubble only stuff mixed in better
For fun
To thank everyone for sticking with me
This last year I have been struggling with some internal depression and some other IRL things that have been bothering me. Every time I thought I got it done, it came back at me. It would cycle and I couldn't get out. This cycle had to be broken somehow.
I got tired of making excuses and decided that the one thing I can do that kept me working on things, was setting a deadline.
Getting out of a depression cycle is difficult, and yes I did go a bit hard, but I love doing animation. I was worried for a bit I was burnt out, and it wasn't that. I just need a better schedule and a due date so I can stop making excuses.
Once July is over I want to switch to a weekly schedule and with streaming some animation work with patrons on the discord server. I'm still planning this so I don't know how to do it exactly yet...
+I'd like to include at least one week with something with the VIPs in the discord server each month. A new character suggested or such... So I'll contact the higher tiers when I go to start. Feedback would be awesome to help me with this :D
Anyway that's all for now. I'll be back later tonight/morning with the next video :D
Thank you everyone for all of the different kinds of support you've given and being patient with me!
