Holy Beeples! I've had my head down all day on this and will be working on it through Sunday but check out the run time on this animation!
Nearly seven friggin minutes! Can you believe it!?!
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the extra time paid off but you be the judge. This one has a TON of BE/GTS and all the goodies we spoke about. Now that I am nearer the finish line I want to talk about somethings to look forward to and more!
Two Animations this time around!
There will indeed be two animations released this time around. One is the full animation, as you would expect, and the other is a cut of only the female transformations.
I want to stress right now I will likely not be making multiple cuts of future animations unless I decide to open up another tier for that. Of course, this is always open for discussion but here's the deal.
It will be down to the wire to hit the Sunday night deadline as is. Some of my time is about making that extra cut I promised and I'm OK with that! Thing is, I don't want to start promising multiple cuts or versions of an animation only to have to delay things a day or even a few hours. I feel (and I might be wrong) most people in the animation tier will want the main final animation posted the MOMENT IT'S DONE. I agree with the sentiment too!
"But Ready! Just make the new cut later and post the main animation when it's done."
Well, here's the thing. Time is time for me. If I delay the posting I still have to spend time and make the cut. Honestly, I would rather be working on your next animation. I know that might seem strange but it's probably the best use of time for me. Splintering my time with edits is a slippery slope I don't want to get on. These animations are getting huge and taking up a LOT of my time just to finish much less edit.
This latest animation was about three solid weeks and weekends of work. I put in a bunch of spare hours I would have normally used for commissions or other art projects. I LOVE THIS ANIMATION TOO! I think all my time was WELL WORTH IT! Still, I have to pace myself if I want to keep bring YOU awesome animations.
We're getting there too! The Patreon is growing and we are getting closer to me working full time on things. I'm VERY happy about that and hope you are enjoying the progress as well!
Story time!
I also feel this animation has the most 'story' to it. If you are brand new to the Growth Lab Universe I did work to lay in explanations or at least HINT at the reasons behind things. I didn't do any deep dives but I think a new person will follow the fun pretty well.
Now, if you KNOW the Growth Lab Universe I hope you will REALLY like seeing some of the characters animated and going through their paces.
So, back to work for me and I look forward to posting the final Sunday night.
Thank you again for your support and talk with you soon!
