WIP: Almost ready for launch!

Hello! Weekly WIP update...

First of all, I'm sorry about no patreon video in a little while. I was working on the wet shirt tutorial, but while recording for Thancred, I realized following the same method I did it for G'raha didn't work very well. I'm trying to figure out a better, more guaranteed way to achieve it, but I will have to test it out with more characters. I think it's better to make sure it works before making something that might not work, so the video can be more useful. If I don't, I'm still going to show the step by step of how I did his specifically, so at least I get to show how that one works.

At least because of it now I have Summer Thancred fully rigged and working - this is his regular shirt in the render, by the way, not the modified one. It doesn't fit in the video so have a Thancred render that won't be used :')

And this week's been a little bit overwhelming with work for me...I've been neglecting some deadlines too that I should be working on right now. I'm actually bad at keeping myself organized. Not proud of it but it happens more often than I wish it did.

However, not all's been bad though because...main reason for that was because I got way too excited about the video and it's ALMOST DONE!

Here's the full, completed timeline! 1:24 minute video :)

Just one little quick animation at the end to finish, and it will be done 1 week earlier than I needed it to! Might still make a few adjustments to things I wish were different if I find an alternatives, might leave it as is.

Which means I'll use next week to put get my life together with the extra work and finish a few videos to post here. And I want to start planning my next project, too!

...or projects. Because there's one specific, very long and complex idea that just won't leave my brain that I'm considering starting to work in parallel with the others as a side thing. If a 1 minute anime-opening took me 2 months to finish, how long would a 2:40 fast-paced angsty MV about the Exarch take...? ...hypothetically. I could go at it little by little between other videos... 👀

I also finished another G'raha animation that is competing to be my favorite with the Summer one. As much as this game concept is predatory gacha that shouldn't exist, this one thing makes me wish it did...

I've been trying to make more facial expressions with open-mouth, teeth-showing smiles. For me these are the hardest to get right (both for 3D character and me in real life). I hope these are starting to look better with time!

And this is it for now. I will try my best to have something to show you next week! I really want to have more videos to post for you. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep consistency recently :')

Thank you so much for your understanding and for your support!
