WE ARE SO BACK - from Pancake (Patreon)

HIIIIIIIII HELLLOOOO I MISSED YOU ALLLL!!!!!

I'd like to think time blindness isn't a thing but I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted. Thank you all for being so patient?? Let's start with the banger update first as you can see attached in the preview screenshots!!!Watch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OSdVvBPbLc-rHMGURvc3pe1RCokekAMX/view?usp=sharingYour flapjack finally got over their fears and picked up some puppet animation skills in After Effects!!

Really amped about this first initial test, and I hope you enjoy it too :3 It may be the secret creative sauce I've been missing this whole time trying to get some of these projects off the ground.Okay with that out of the way, I wanted to talk about my update video! Some editor notes :3cI was hoping to chuck up that post last week and then this post after, but ah well, things happen but here we are :3c I always feel the pressure to be my happy best self but it's harder and harder to find that energy you know? But I'll talk more about that in a real quick bit. If you haven't come across my update video, you can find it here!Watch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SJuvX2GVdHpgzJyZPN2FoI-7Y2qx1S7E/view?usp=sharingOkay, all caught up? Wonderful!Okay so: just a couple extra comments, stuff i noticed after I recoded my voice over, and other comments!First off, hope you enjoyed the visual style of the video! It all kind feeds into each other but I was really wanting to show off the kind of skills I want to be using in my future projects in my entire update video, while also not taking forever, so that was a fun project to crunch out, to revive my connection with this and you!Secondly, the WEBSITE. I was bothered how I didn't really have a good answer to the current social media climate, and the truth of that is because there isn't! I still see random efforts pop up left and right but its just more fragmentation, and the future is still uncertain. What will bring certainty is funding and setting up our own website c: An update since uploading, someone local has touched base about having some knowledge about getting this all setup! I'm giving myself a year to try set this up (or if something else better comes along) but its not really about traffic, or optimizing about trends, its just about giving all of us creators safety, archiving, and certainty. Like, I'm thinking the website probably won't be around FOREVER, but I hope at the end we all walk away with the easily sharable archive of all our efforts and fun etc. I'm sick of relying on these corpos who, honestly, have never cared about the NSFW creators on their platform and I want to seek our own presevation, for CS and others!!! So, please, if you know anybody passionate in web work, let them know I'm here with a fantastic project and purpose!I also want to add, the final website, it has to be good lol. I swear to god I won't launch something awful to navigate, it has to be the perfect website for goonin' or its useless!! So give me a year+, let's see if that goes anywhere?Thirdly, my posting schedule. For years and years I have reaped the benefits of posting on a schedule, I think there's many viable strategies for social media, and I liked the regularity, but as you saw from my update video, as I step away from smaller quick projects and into things that take more time, I will be changing to a more sperratic "HERE'S WHAT I WORKED ON TODAY" updates! Might be a script drop, a bunch of doodles, some sound design, or heck, a full finished video out of no where. I need to do something to supplement the drop in my natural motivation to post, and the 24 hours right after hitting a milestone is when I feel absolutely amped about it, and I think I'm just gonna yell about it everywhere I'm allowed to!Medium to full updates I think I'll post here, and small weirder updates I'll drop an @everything over in Discord!big breath woof, okay, big yap.So what's next? Like, right now?First step: Upload the backlog! Gonna spend the next 24 hours queueing up the backlog from all of us, I may drop two a day while we get that out, but it should be the last time I queue!Second: I am gonna skip forward a bit and jump right into the opening sequence of the DnD project chapter 1 (not zero!). I've been struck by some inspiration following the puppet tests and I am thirsty for a specific vision, and I have been lamenting about how to start this film so I am gonna strike this! I'm expecting this to take about 3 weeks if all goes well, and I will drop updates along the way. First step this week is to map out the 6-10 scenes I want to create, gotta lock down that vision early. Oh man, I am so amped though, I feel like we're gonna be creating such pretty things soon so please, stay tuned! Oh my goodness.Third: Other bits and bobs. Refresh the discord? Nuke the channels? Upload the backlog of videos to other video platforms? Release my pride bricks? Oh yes, I had a screenshot for this.

What else next? Who knows! But, those are my two things I'll be working on this week :3As always, I welcome all comments and messages, I get all up inside my head about the sharing of my work, I always wish you could all just peek into my PC whenever you wanted and see what smut I was up to lmfao but alas. Thank you as always, thank you for anyone who made it this far in my rambles lmfao, enjoy the backlog posting for the next couple weeks!!!!!p.s. huh, Patreon's had bit of a mega facelift since we last spoke up huh? kinda pretty! anyone want me to lean into it and reorganize things so our Patreon is easier to browse historically? AAAA
