So it begins... (Patreon)

I have no idea how to start this because I wasn't expecting this much support right now. It may not be that many people, but at the same time I was expecting 1 supporter to be lucky. I'm quite overwhelmed to say the least and all I can do right now is thank you guys for your support this early on.

I'm still in the beginning stage of building the Patreon so expect changes in the coming weeks. But what I did plan is to update you guys on the upcoming 17.5 short. The YouTube channel will still show WIPs for the funnies and the Sub-Reddit will still post updates publicly, but for this project I will make updates exclusive for my patrons. Though I already posted a GIF on the last journal entry, expect future GIFs to be found here.

At this time, not much has progressed since my last journal entry so that GIF I showed there for the 17.5 short is what I mostly have. But I did find time to work on the project which I will post here to get the ball rolling.

The current task right now is to just make sketches of all the cuts. According to the animatic, which if you haven't seen yet can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Compact_Youmu/comments/16fieas/touhou_175_flandre_vs_yuuma_fan_animation/, the final animation will be around 2 minutes. No doubt this will exceed 100 cuts. I am making it a goal to at least finish the rough drafts for every cut by the end of this month. Then I can see what else needs to be done before I proceed to cleanup.

I'm currently working on this animated piece more than the funnies so I will have constant updates for you guys every few days. So consider this a spoiler warning for those who just wants to enjoy the final product, but for those who are interested in the journey, I hope it may be a benefit to you.

There will be more to come so stay tuned.
