Alright so, I've worked my tail off for this for the past 6 months, setting aside other projects and free time to work on this pretty much every day, especially in the last 3 months. And it's honestly crazy to think that despite all that, this is less than 3 minutes long... lol
As per usual for myself, I kept track of how long I spent on this, pausing and starting a timer whenever I worked on it, and WHOO boy.
101:50 hours
By far my biggest project to date (nearly doubling the previous one at 53:00 hours), and hopefully stays that way for a while, haha, not gonna be feeling so ambitious for QUITE a bit, lol. In any case, I especially wanted to get this done for Technoblade's 24th birthday - despite this really being more of a Philza animatic - only for the reason that I came up the idea for the animatic the day after "So Long Nerds". I became so attached to the idea that it really became my primary motivator to work on it so much. So, in some sense, this is somewhat a tribute to Techno, again, even if it doesn't focus on him much. Despite that, I do feel like it captures the feeling well enough, especially in the sense of loss.
Speaking of Techno, I genuinely think this helped me grieve more fully. I had somewhat gone through the stages of grief in the 5-ish months since the news of his passing to when I started, but listening to the song repeatedly, drafting and finalizing all the frames, all the while remember Techno... I don't know, especially since this is more of a portrayal of acceptance, it helped me reach that, and be able to look back and rewatch his content and things he appeared in happily rather than bittersweet with the pain of loss. All that to say this was very cathartic. XD Thanks for watching, whoever you are, and thanks for reading too. It's genuinely heartwarming when people see and enjoy what I do. 💛
Don't have the time nor energy to make anything new, but in honor of #Technoblade25 I will revisit this animatic I made. Exactly one year since I first posted, and lemme tell ya, it feels like it's been a LOT longer.
In any case, it took more time than I'd like to admit to be able to enjoy this. I was happy with it as I was making it, and shortly after having finished. But by shortly I mean the thrill only lasted until the day after I posted. Ever since, I've been avoiding looking at it, noticing all the little mistakes and things I could've done better because I severely underestimated how long an animatic would take and was rushed.
It's been long enough now though that I can look back with fondness. And that I can be proud of this.
So happy birthday Alex

By this spell I may take it from them. Their agony, their weakness, so that they may find their strength. I will be crippled, but I will live. I will take it for them.
Haha. Well. I meant to have the next Alphatale page done before the new year, but I haven't even gotten the backgrounds. All I have are excuses, and only a handful are legitimate. For anyone going "Oh it's fine, I'm sure you have good reasons!", I appreciate you, and I want to make clear that this isn't a matter of being unnecessarily pressured by myself or an audience. This is a very personal story to me that I really want to share, so I'm just disappointed I didn't make the time for it.
I don't have any news or promises to do better in the future, but for anyone who's been actively reading/waiting, Thank You. I felt you deserved an update, as minimal as it is right now. 💛
Meant to post this on Saturday, or actually a couple weeks ago really, but better super late than never. XD
I drew this clear back in February, as a de-stress for the animatic, and Flowey's pretty much my default when it comes to doodles. I wouldn't call this a doodle really, lol, hence why I'm even bothering to even post, or better yet why I held onto it for months. In any case, I'm still happy with how it turned out. ^w^

If I opened commissions later this year or at all, would anyone be interested?
Yes! I'd buy from you!
Yes, but I can't afford it. Good luck!
Depends on prices
No, not really

Because of the animatic, if I do open any it won't be anytime soon, not until at least summertime. I've just been thinking about this for a couple weeks and figured I'd ask.
Also note that I don't need the money - this isn't an emergency - I'm just genuinely curious about the outcome and if people think my stuff is worth paying for. I won't be upset if the answer is "no".
So... good news first I guess, I'm making an animatic! I mean, it's not Alphatale - or even Undertale - related, which then leads me immediately to the bad news:
Alphatale's taking a backseat in priorities.
Important thing to note, it is NOT going on hiatus. But updates will be far more spread out than they already are, at least for the next six months.
Sorry to anyone who's disappointed by this, I am too. But I can't juggle both the full-colored, full-shaded comic with fight scenes and a multi-hundred frame animatic, especially when the animatic has a deadline.
So a bit more about the animatic, it's actually for the Dream SMP fandom. I meant to get started during 2022 but I prioritized Alphatale over it and the months snuck past me. As silly as it might be, this is really important to me and I wanna get it done in time for Technoblade's birthday (June 1st) because I came up with the idea the day after we found out he passed away.
The next page update will still be January 14th, but I currently don't know when the next one after that will be. Probably not for a month, maybe two, it depends on how things are looking by then.
The animatic is progressing a LOT faster than I thought it would! Already done with the entire rough draft that's synced to the audio and all that's left is to clean everything up, which albeit is a lot easier said than done, but I'm WAAAY ahead of schedule.
The next Alphatale page isn't coming for 6 weeks. First of all, I obviously don't wanna set the animatic down just because I'm ahead, but the next page is also ending up as the longest one I've ever made, again with fight scenes, more intense than ever before, and... I haven't started on it yet. XD
I'm about to though! As soon as I post this! lol
Wish me luck! These next few weeks are going to be a hard grind. 💛
So I set the animatic down the entire six weeks... which was apparently a bit too long. I cannot, cannot work on Alphatale until it's done, or it won't be done in time for June.
On a bit of a bright side, I'm having so much fun with it and I haven't been this motivated to work on a project in literal years. Not that I'm not enjoying Alphatale anymore, but, although the animatic is a huge project, it's a lot smaller in comparison to the story I wanna tell with the comic, so it's... less daunting..? I guess...? Or at least, like actually, conceivably achievable. I can complete it in the next few months, instead of bit by bit over several years.
Also! I don't know what sections exactly, but I plan to post some sneak peek/teasers about the animatic hopefully soon, and I'm excited to get those out there, hopefully you guys are too!

Meant to post this on Saturday, but work absolutely kicked my butt that day and I forgot XD
Don't know why, but I felt the need to post a quick little wip for the next page, so here's all the backgrounds! With the thumbnails for character posing in each panel plus a few notes for myself in white, but all of it is super faint and zoomed out, lol
...yeah I wasn't kidding that this one was long. Twenty-one panels. The previous record was fourteen. XD
Alright thanks for indulging me I'll be off now
