It's July....crediting/pledges
Added 2021-07-03 19:24:59 +0000 UTCHey hey hey!
So it's July, and I continue to plug away at Chapter 003. So I missed the June deadline I set for myself...
I cancelled my trip to Texas, as this is a priority...Needless to say this chapter is taking a lot longer than I originally planned. Likely because there's more "people" in each scene, more animation, and there's like 40+ more shots in this chapter, due to more action.
Excuses aside, I did try to reach out to some artists that I thought would be a good fit, unfortunately none were available. One was the artist who does all that awesome fan-made part 6 2d/3d hybrid stuff. They were very cool about it, and mentioned they may be able to help out down the line. But for Chapter 004 I'll just need to put out a general hiring post and see what comes our way.
Because this chapter has taken longer than I'd hoped (from March til now, so about 4 months so far), anyone who pledged $5/$10 and $10+ from March til June will be credited. If you lowered your pledge for whatever reason throughout June til now, yer still credited. Obviously recent contributors will also be credited.
There has been some stuff going on in the background (some discord folks know from our JoJo/Movie nights) : some health, some life. Stuff that has been slowing the progress a little, but mostly it's just a more complex chapter with more "animation" than usual, and more original assets.
I won't make the mistake again of setting a deadline, as I'm just plugging away everyday the best I can.
Thanks so much for all your patience with the chapters. I'm trying to think of ways to speed up the process without losing the spirit and intent of the project (possibly making it in black/white/gray, more like a manga)... but I'd like all of episode 1 (the first 6 chapters) to be fairly consistent in style/execution (full color, etc).
Alright! Lots of WORDS! Hope you all are healthy and well! HUGS! BACK TO WORK!
best,
Mick
*Edited title of post, as I straight up said I wouldn't announce a deadline...clearly, instinctively, I keep wanting to.
