Thoughts on 2.5D & returning to frame-by-frame? (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I’d love to get your thoughts on something. Something tells me that 2.5D bone animation just doesn’t deliver that same energy and life you guys are used to seeing in my work. At the end of the day, my true style lives 100% in frame-by-frame animation.

I got pretty burned out last year after doing frame-by-frame non-stop, but after taking a 1.5-month break from it, I feel fully recovered and ready to jump back into hand-drawn work!

Of course, it’s a bit early to judge purely by initial views - maybe posting late at night on X hurt the algorithm, or perhaps the generated textures just feel different from what you're used to seeing from me. Either way, continuing with 2.5D right now feels a bit demotivating.

That being said, I’ve almost finished the rig for the current Marin project. If you’re waiting for this specific release, let me know in the comments so I can see how many of you are looking forward to it!

I'll be setting up a poll above - please cast your vote on which format you prefer and share any thoughts in the comments. Your feedback means the world to me right now! ❤️
