Just a series of notes from me to you! Thank you!

I want to start with a huge thank you to every single one of you. I’ve had so much fun this year working on art and animation can share with you. I really appreciate your support!

There is never a day where I do not understand how fortunate I am. I’m incredibly lucky to have friends and fans like you. Thank you for all your kind words and support. As you know, I appreciate your support, paid or not.

We will be wrapping up the latest movie this December. The last installment will land at the end of the year and we begin a new movie in January 2022. We're nearing seven hours of transformation movies created through this Patreon with your support. Think about that for a moment. This is what your support is getting you and the community. I haven’t even gotten into the comics we've been able to make or the fun one sheet character bios. All that and more are due to your support.

I want every single person who donates to feel they’re getting more than their money’s worth. I do my best and I don’t take any of it for granted. So let’s talk about what’s coming.

Comics. As you know I switched up the way we do comics. I am working to catch us up to where I am drawing them now. We’ve already released much more than we normally would in the year. There are now PDFs for everybody to get as well as more high-res art in the galleries than ever before. That will continue throughout next year and maybe we'll close the gap more between what I'm drawing and where I’m releasing them. Thank you for all the comic support and a huge thank you to all long time comic lovers. It’s where I started and I still love drawing the comics.

Movies. I’ve got plans for the next movie. We’ve talked about options and I hope to implement new ideas which I think you'll like. I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself at this point. My biggest concern about movies is to always give you what I promise. I also want to be consistent with the monthly output. It’s a big deal to me when somebody signs up at any level on the Patreon. That said, I do consider the Animation Tier one of the backbones of the Patreon. That doesn’t dismiss any other tier. From my and though, the Animation Tier is one of the big reasons we've been able to get all this great art and animation for everybody. So look forward to a new movie, new characters and new ideas. Thank you for that.

3D. I’m continuing to work with this one. I want to add it subtly into the animation work without drawing a massive amount of attention to it. I’ve started that and you’ve seen the results in some of the movies. That will likely continue through the next year. Will we be seeing things like characters? Maybe. Maybe not. That’s one of those promises I won’t make until I’m sure I can deliver on it. Right now, it’s early and I’m very happy with the way the Patreon is going and there are no plans to "switch" to 3D as I’ve said before. Really, I don’t imagine ever going to full 3D, at least at the current technology levels. There is a certain vibe to 2D I love and that is not going anywhere.

My best wishes to every one of you as well as your friends and family. We have a few holidays coming up (I live in the USA) and the New Year approaching. I hope each of you get to spend it with loved ones. I don’t know all the holidays you may or may not celebrate but my sincere wishes go out to you.

We live in a wonderful world people. There have been some really shitty times for sure but don’t let that change your opinion of our underlying nature. We are good people. I believe that. When I go outside and interact with people I see smiles and laughs and lots of love. It’s out there if you look for and I recommend you do.

All right, back to work for me and I will talk with you soon!
