I'M MOVING! THAT'S NOT THE GOOD NEWS. FUCK MOVING. IT'S THE WORST. I'M SO OVER IT.
But I must. And move, I shall. This is NOT the move to California, that'll happen sometime next year probably. So yeah, I'll be gone for a bit.
BUT ONTO THE GOOD NEWS!
So I've accepted that I'm shitty at posting. (it only took like 2 years, nice) - BUT THE GOOD PART IS I'M FINALLY DOIN' SOMETHIN' ABOUT IT. AND BY ME, I MEAN MY FRIEND PIX!
So he's gonna be super awesome, and help me out by posting some shiz every so often! It's at his leisure, and I'll probably request not more than like, 5 in a day. BUT HOLY HECK you guys are in for SO MUCH SHIT MAN. I queued up 91 in a shared to-do list, and this is still work from 2016 ;v; IM SOOOOOO SORRY xD!
Btw, I should probably mention. It might be entirely possible THAT YOU HAVE COMMISSIONED ME, AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR THING. And it might even have been a year or so ago. I've been done with all owed commissions FOR A VERY LONG TIME. And I know I'm terrible about delivering stuff. If you're waiting on something, let me know. Or if you wanna keep waiting, it'll actually get posted now :D
Posting is actually a very special part for me. I love coming up with wacky crap, and communicating with y'all, but at this point, I just need help. I'm hoping Pix will take care of the brunt of the work, sketches and stuff - and then I can post bigger paintings. Or perhaps he'll dig me out of my hole and I can get back to posting myself >o>! WHOKNOWSS
OK FINALLY
AND THIS ONE I'M SUPER HYPED FOR.
I FINALLY HAVE CHOSEN A PROJECT TO GO PRETTY HAM ON. It's a game! Sorta. I mean, you can't lose... It's kind of like a glorified dress-up... WORDS CANT JUSTIFY HOW COOL THIS SHIT IS!
I've been picking up Unity AND BOI AM I LOST - but one of my old college homies was super stoked to get going on a side project. And he's TOTALLY CARRYING THIS PROJECT HARDDDD (program-wise.) Meanwhile, I get to make all the assets and ANIMATIONSSSS. YEAH YOU HEARD RIGHT FOOLS.
GOOD OLE ANIMATINO.
Flash animation though. Because FUCK doing traditional. But it's cool, I know my shit, and you guys liked all the flash stuff I've done before >D! AND LEMME TELL YA, THE THINGS I'VE GOT IN THE WORKS IS PRETTY DANG SAUCY. We're talkin LOOOTS OF ASSETS! Stuff that patreon peeps will getting to vote on!
So yeah! This is my first official delve into a game and a SRSLY BIG PROJECT. Once I have the ability to save up 'n running, get about 10 assets, and a couple finished Backgrounds, I'll release the thing free as a proof of concept! From there, I'll be doing monthly releases on Patreon till the thing's done! Periodically, I'll release bigger versions for free to y'all. But if you could spare the support, that'd be hella <3!
If I can prove my worth and gain some srs hype, then I'll FOR SURE be going the Indi-game route for the foreseeable future >D
This project is going to be pretty LARGE. I'm thinking I'll call it "done" once there's like, 100~ animated assets. I just animated a "sorta" simpler one that's 2 characters and it took about 5.5 hours - not bad! I won't be able to devote all the time to this - I'll still be doing patreon commissions and stuff on the side, opening here 'n there.
I'd like to mention: The biggest reason for shifting over to a larger project is because I haven't had a "baby" in a LONG time. I haven't had a big project that I was SUPER MEGA HYPED, or uniquely challenged on in a very very long time. This sorta task is full of new struggles and things to learn, and THIS SORTA STUFF is why I'm an artist. This is a SERIOUS PORTION OF FUN. I love doing paintings for ya guys, I love drawing, but man, I was doing like, 2-4 a DAY. They kinda end up losing their novelty after a while. Not that I'm getting bored or burnt out - I just need something BIGGER!
So yeah!
To those who watch streams, you can catch me animating in Flash more recently these days! (To those interested in Flash animation, I use a pipeline similar to how TV animation uses Flash.) To those interested in tossing in some support, you can do so here > https://www.patreon.com/CarrotsCritters When the times comes, I'll probably have a new 5$ tier, which'll grant peeps access to the monthly updates. (which, will just be assets/animation/content. Functionality-wise, it should be PRETTY much done by then.)
Anywho, hope y'all have been doing well!
I'M GONNA GO PACK AND MOVE SHIT YEAYUH
Oh also, give Pix a few days. We've gotta get the process for the posting all hammered down!
YEAAAAH! When my friend was putting things together - and when everything started falling into place - I knew this was gonna be totally flipping awesome.

I just have that one Litten drawing from you during BLFC 2015. Sorry to hear about having to move once again! I understand how you feel, considering I'm in Spain now... and I'm only just going to move again in another year and a half. Good luck with your project tho, I remember the cute bear, and I look forward to the results of the game once it is done!
