hey, are you ok? I just discovered your project and noticed you’ve been gone for a while- everything alright?
OH HI apologies for my absence on here I've been animating like crazy for the teaser and busy with a lot of things for DAWM! I am more in the habit of updating my instagram stories but I tend to neglect my other social media when I'm super busy, and honestly I shouldn't, so I apologize! So here's what I've been up to the past couple months! 🌈 I have finished doing keyframe animation on the teaser! All I have to do is polish, color, and put in layouts and it's ready (which is a much quicker process for me!!) :oD Folks that are curious about the teaser can see progress in my Ko-Fi! Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/dreammeiser
🌈 I also have been designing a lot of their world, including creatures and environments! You get to see sketches for those in the Ko-Fi too :o3
🌈 We're working with a company to make the first Dreamalong plushie to be released soon, and I'll be sure to announce when it's out!
🌈 We're also working on some keychains and stickers for those that want smaller merch <:o)
🌈 Our puppet fabrication team just finished the character sheets and is now working on sculpts!
🌈 I've also just been planning and writing for the plot, I do want to make sure it's thoroughly thought out! The first two episodes have been solidified! I have it confirmed under proper authority that it wasn't too similar to anything else, which makes me feel more comfortable moving forward with the ideas I had :o)
🌈 I made a cipher for folks to use when they're watching the show ;o) It shall be revealed in the teaser as well!
🌈 I'm making an official Dream Along With Me Discord Server for fans to gather and have a safe space to talk about all things DAWM stuff while getting info on the project :o)
🌈 I'm also developing the website... It's purely for fun! Doing your own coding is kinda nuts but I have the audacity!
🌈 I also have something for Mufflin Mallow underway when things are less hectic 😆
🌈 As we continue development, the project has also moved onto a new phase of growth that's more structured around a studio pipeline and a professional environment, so we had to do some restructuring with the team. If I ever do auditions, please note that professionalism is expected and Non-Disclosure Agreements, including the ones for other projects you're on, are expected to be upheld!
Thank you for checking in and for your concern, that's awfully kind of ya! I am doing well, just busy trying to get this show out for you all 💖Beyond the puppet fabrication team, it's all just me working on this so it takes time :'o3 It's a good kind of busy! I'm having a ton of fun :oD
If you want more regular check-ins and updates, definitely take a look at my instagram, especially in the stories (for those unfamiliar, if you tap my icon on instagram, it shows you my tiny updates) and/or Ko-Fi for full images/gifs/concept art/writing. You'll be able to get updates through the Discord when that's released too :o)
