Much as I hate to dp this, there's NO way i can complete this thing by the time I said before. I'll be moving pretty soon, so i'll be packing up my PC for a bit until I get settled into my new place. in the meantime, I'm gonna make a few short animations that I can post in the meantime, to make sure you guys aren't without content. At the same time, I want to ask if you guys would support me if I were to make a Patreon. it'd be a good place to post updates on animation progress and stuff, as well as help me out in terms of some extra income.

Hell I'd support you. But unless you're planning on using it for a tip jar you're going to have to come up with some pretty serious and send it to get people to invest more than just a dollar into it. Something like putting sound behind a $5 teir or something like that. Or or working progress or releasing animations a few weeks to a month early on patreon to certain tiers. Maybe have a high expensive tear that people have to buy and they're allowed to make commissions or something like that
I don't think I'd feel right about gating anims with sound behind a paywall. Would definitely feel ok with the early release of anims for the lower tiers. I'm also decent with making stills, just can't post em here to NG, so that might be something I could offer as well. I'll figure it out with time, but thanks for the helpful suggestions!
So how are things going now. It's been a few months.
Indeed it has. Apologies for that. Things have been pretty rough, as of late. Will post an update post in a bit.

Ah ambition. Not the first time I've seen a newish artist find out they need more time and then start panicking. It's cool bro. Take your time! If you plan on making a Patreon then I'd highly recommend opening up some other social media profiles to spread your stuff. Twitter, Furaffinity, Inkbunny. I unfortunately am not in the financial situation to be a Patron but it wouldn't hurt to try. Even if it's just a few extra bucks it adds up right? Plus you'd be surprised at how much some of the long time SFM/Blender animators make now, but that shit takes years.

I actually have an FA, and IB I post to. Twitter, not so much, honestly
