Some Real Life Stuff (Patreon)

Right. So last week has been pretty barren for me, creatively speaking, which also ties in with why I've been quiet. I think I've started around 6 animations last week, and ended up hating every single one of them. I just hit a kind of animator's writer's block. No matter what I make it just didn't feel right, or it looked awful. It's probably tied in with my new job.

In short, it's just all really frustrating and stressful. My current employer didn't want to make a decision about keeping me on for another year, so I went out and got myself another job to start in August. Then, after I tell my current employer that, I'm suddenly clear to stay on, with more pay. So I've been mulling it over and just been kind of stressed and exhausted the whole week. I haven't made a final decision yet, but I'll probably make it today. On the plus side, no matter where I'm going to work the coming year, it's going to be 3 days, which means I'll have 2 days I can fully spend on animating, plus evenings and weekends. It's looking good, lads.

Anyway, I'll have an animation finished tomorrow, hopefully. I finally made a mockup I'm happy with, and it feels like I've got my groove back.
