Hi,
I'm sending along a quick update here on NG since it's been a little while.
I already wrote a post on my Patreon explaining in more detail, but long story short: the studio I had been working for halted production at the end of August, leaving me without work for September and the rest of the year. I'm still on the hunt for enough work to fill the gap, and it's looking unlikely that I'll be able to complete How Doog Saved Christmas in time for this year.
If you're looking for animation, storyboard help, direction, illustration, etc, please feel free to get in touch! Here's my portfolio with contact info and featuring many of the things I've worked on, but DMs here on NG can work too if you have a serious and professional inquiry.
There's also my Patreon, which is currently on pause for October but will continue to regularly receive free monthly newsletters and other goodies whenever I have them. I've been keeping tier options limited to the base $5 tier until I can manage to actually release some new shorts, but I may add more options in the future for those who have been asking about offering more support.
As for some good news: Monkey Wrench episode 5 released recently! Everyone did an incredible job on it, and it's amazing to see this one receive such a glowing response. It's humbling to have been given the keys to roughing out some important moments in that episode, and getting to animate drama instead of comedy was really exciting for me personally. It reminded me of why I wanted to be an animator in the first place. <3
I'm always thankful for every episode I get to help on, and will continue to treat every episode as if it's my last.
Thank you for reading, and for following this page. this was a difficult update to write, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my next update will be more exciting.
Will be in touch!
