I been gone for a really long time and I can't even begin to apologize and express how much I appreciate everyone who stuck around with my seemingly dead account, you're continued support really did help. I'm sure a lot of you are frustrated with my absence and lack of communication, and I'm sure some are worried that something happened. I'm incredibly sorry.
I originally fell far behind on the rewards and I felt like I needed to focus on them, however, I ended up with this bad mindset that I needed to finish these projects before I could start anything new. I ended up letting my patreon and online presence disappear so that I could just work on those projects. That alone wouldn't have made me disappear for as long as I ended up doing, but whenever I would feel like I caught up, I couldn't stop this feeling that what I had wasn't enough. I tried starting some new projects and worked on my animations in order to make the hiatus worth it, but every time I actually finished something, I still felt like it wasn't enough. I probably have at least 10 half started animations that I probably won't ever finish because of this. I also felt like I wasn't being able to animate as fast as I did before and when every project took me way longer than I expected, I started to get worried that I was losing the ability to animate. Then I started to feel Like I wasn't a good enough animator to come back and tried to work on my animation quality, but at that point I think I just was really dreading posting again after such a long time.
But, enough about that, now to post everything I've been doing since I've been gone. I ended up animated everything from the last vote instead of just the top one.
Don't get Caught by Elastigirl
Quickie: Don't Distract the D.va
Sheva's Secret Snack Skirt (I'm particularly proud of that walk cycle)
Quickie: Face full of Asari Ass
Quickie Chell enjoying her toys
Quickie Beach Blunder angle 2 (couldn't figure out which camera I liked)
It's Samara's Party Now (one of those projects that kept getting bigger)
Tag Teamed Suit (always wanted to animate the barnacle from half-life)
Don't mess with Moxxi Nude (I like just rendering different outfits)
Even though I kept feeling like it wasn't enough, posting all of them at once made me realize how many animations I ended up doing.
I also made animated something I've always wanted to. Might be stupid, but I had a lot of fun with it.
Tried to make animate framerate to look like the original scene, but there are some parts that don't really translate to 3D very well (or I'm the one who didn't translate it well)
Next up is the commission I've been animation on and off for about a couple years. I really shouldn't have taken this long to complete it, but it got really complicated and I wasn't able to give it the attention that it needed for a long time. Because of this delay, what I thought could have been my magnum opus instead became a bit of a disappointment. That being said, I've been looking at it for far too long and might just be too critical. Heads up though, I animated it while they were nude so when I felt like rendering alternate versions of them with their outfits there were a few issues that would be too much of a pain to fix.

Now for the images, there weren't too many image rewards that were left before I went on hiatus since they were always easier to complete, but here they are.
Now for a little bonus. In an attempt to improve my working speed so, I started picking random scenes and characters so that I would spend less time planning and more time actually working, similar to a warmup. These were the pics I made.
One of the biggest regrets that I never paused the payments for my patreon. It probably was a stupid idea, but I never intended on leaving for as long as I did. The only source of income I've had for this last year was the slight amount of payment I would get from an indie company I've been working for and this patreon, so my bank account has slowly been draining over the course of this year and it's definitely not looking great now. I don't intend on excusing what I did, and I really hate that I did it. I'm incredibly sorry, that's not the kind of person I wanted to become.
Lastly, I just want to say how much I really appreciate everyone sticking around with me. This year has been kind of rough and I sometimes struggled, but I'm back and I don't plan on leaving again.
