why god did i decide to animate something entirely new for a comms announcement

hey everyone! if it wasn't already obvious, i seem to be running on valve time a bit this month, without detailing too much - i've been trying to do some ambitious 2D animation in blender and its not quuuite coming together how i want it to? long story short, i'm definitely being a bit too ambitious relative to my current skill level, so what I'm planning to do is, rather than try and be all fancy, go with a more ergonomic and sensible route for the stocking pieces so i can actually get her done already, good lord. what i will mention is they're both planned to play into the strip pole thing from the transformation sequence from the show, and that's still in place! i'm hoping to still get something really cool to come together shortly and then just slam right into the skullgirls pieces so i can actually be on-schedule forreal this time.

what's this then anyway? long story short, i had a few unexpected financial issues come up and i figured it was finally time to open comms up again, perhaps for the only time this year dependent on how long it takes me to catch up to speed with the current patreon work alongside then all the comms themselves. i should mention, the plan is for the comms work to take second priority until i can finish most if not all of all the current patreon work first! i wasn't really planning to open just at the moment, but that's the nature of this being unexpected, i hope that's understandable!

as per usual i had to be insane about it and animate a whole seperate pear/maple thing for this announcement (fun fact, the only reason pear's arms are tied like that is because i just started drawing them like that and the rope made it make more actual sense). i'll be taking down the post once the slots are full up, but i actually really like this art in general so i figure this would be a good place to leave it up! i plan to upload the announcement post publically shortly, and if for whatever reason you'd like to commission me, all i ask is you wait till you see the announcement post going live on my twitter before messaging me with any requests or inquiries, thank you!

anyways, all that aside, expect more stuff on this level of detail/animation shortly for the poll winners! if im not incorrect the skullgirls one ended up being a tie, and i have..... ideas.....
