Short quick update. Sculpture will be uploaded probably tomorrow if I can get the base attached in time. Sculpt and paint are done so I'm onto the final step. Haven't been working on anything besides that and slowly getting some storyboards done when I have time and I'm not doing an essay. Trying to stay on top of things while assignments are chaotic so I haven't had much free time. I'll probably post ANOTHER sketch dump after the sculpture post. And the end here's a sketch I made of a game I love :)

"Lil' Gator Game" play it.

HELLO!

So it's been a few days since my last post and I'm at that point again where I'm like "oh no I haven't posted anything in almost a week I'm failing even my own expectations" so I'm here with an update :)

I will start work on something tonight that will (I know I say this a lot but HOPEFULLY) be done in the next couple days. I don't want to have a huge drop in quality by rushing something out to post tomorrow. I haven't started on any animation and haven't been able to progress on storyboards because of school getting in the way. If I don't get to the point I'd like to tonight though I will post a sketch-dump tomorrow of recent stuff I've drawn that either I did for fun or dosent make sense so I scrapped it.

In other news. I'm working on another sculpture that's looking like it'll be done next week which is exciting. The sculpt itself is done and it's a little less refined than the one I made for competition but it's mostly just so I have a 3d reference for different angles when drawing. Here's a crop of it for a teaser:

That's all I got, thanks for reading and thank you for supporting Stephen.

Slowing my workflow a bit so I don't get as burnt out working on stuff. The piece I'm currently doing I've been working on for 3 days now. Putting more effort into the background and trying to add more polish than I normally do. It'll probably be around the end of the week or so before this comes out since it will include 2 pieces the connect to eachother. First draft script is pretty much done so I've started work on more of the storyboards while I think of what I want to change. That's pretty much all but it's been like 6 days and since I posted anything and either way I like doing these :]

BACK TO WORK! I've been given this break, told myself I'd work, and I've barely done ANYTHING. Been thinking about a lot but haven't put anything together. Excited to finish the last part of the set of Steph pictures I've been doing. I have sketches I'm dying to draw but if I don't finish this I never will. So hopefully tomorrow I'll have something up and I'm gonna be working all week from here on out! RAAAAGHHH!!!!! (I'm hyping myself up)

Been a while since I posted an update but I really just wanted to give something since it's been about a week since I've posted anything. I've been taking a break from drawing on my computer since I tend to be at my desk for 3-4 hours when drawing something. I have still been doing a bit of sketching (more than usual) and I have some more sketches for another Sketch Dump post. My next post SHOULD be a continuation of the "PANIC!" post. I've had a little 3 part thing planned out for it to show Stephen shifting and taking back control by calming themselves.

Anyways I plan on working on it today and posting sometime within the next week. I really want to get back into my workload. I'm getting close to revealing as much as I want for what happens in the short animation I have planned make sense.

Thank you for reading, and of course your patience :]

Art competition for my sculpture is tomorrow. Finished today with its base and all. Uh here's that:

So this has had my full attention for the past week. Got a few ideas for Valentines art so that'll be my weekend other than the competition. I'll have it posted on the 14th so I might have a sketch post tonight to be a hold over for this week. I'll update on the competition results once I get them probably next week. :)

Posting a big project at the end of this week :)

Really wanted to try and put something out this weekend. Took a little break after the last post but sinuses have me hurting insanely bad at my computer. Hopefully over the next couple days it'll lighten up a bit and I can work but for now there might be another sketch post to hold me over.

Wanting to bring in some aspects that will help characterize Stephen and show who they are, what's going on with them, and why it's happening. The last post was Steph having a panic attack which pushed them out of their own body letting another take over (Tried to show this by having the 2nd outline steph be visibly worried/scared).

Anyway there's a lot I've already taken time to write and I'm also still working on the storyboard and dialogue for the short I want to make so... REALLY hoping to get better VERY soon.

Animation is hard but I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with it. Here's a small shitty test I did a couple days ago from one of the storyboards:

In other news I have some ideas for art I'd like to do and I already have a piece lined up to release probably tomorrow. It's a little heavier in work than my normal pieces and heavier in a story way. It introduces a "new character" in a way I won't spoil nor just outright say in the art but I think it gives it away in the visuals. At least I hope I convey it well enough.

Anyway thats all for this update. I still don't know why I get so nervous if I don't post for like 2 or more days.

I've started storyboarding for a 3+ minute short about Stephen which will hold a little exposition and show off ideas I have for the future. It will work as a pilot of sorts for a longer segmented animation project I've been planning. This is actually probably the most I've drawn Stephen since I first made them back in November.

Been causing myself unnecessary stress about not posting even though it's only been 4 days but it's got me pulling my hair out.

Removed the "alfreds_playhouse" tag from most of my posts. Not as a "I don't want to be associated with it" but I just don't want to flood the tag.
