HUGE thank you for appreciation + What’s next (and why I need to slow down for a bit in June)

Hey guys!

First of all, I am very happy with your reactions to the latest animation! Seeing you guys so hyped in the comments and poll section shows me how much you liked it and want more! I’m so satisfied with my work, seeing that you loved it so much.

To give you a bit of perspective on how much work went into this 7+ minute monster, just look at this screenshot from my Premiere timeline. The number of clips and layers was insane (many of the cut clips are actually hidden inside "nested" clips).

The last few days of crunching to meet the deadline completely drained me. Because of that, I need to be 100% honest with you. Now that the adrenaline has faded, I realize I am incredibly tired. I’m starting to feel the early signs of burnout, and the last thing I want is to lose my passion for this. To keep bringing you the best quality animations with a fresh mind and high efficiency, I need to take a break and focus on recovery this month.

This rest is essential for me to recharge, so I can come back to work in July with a clear head, full efficiency, and less stress, rather than constantly feeling overwhelmed, which would inevitably lead to a total burnout.

What does this mean for June?

No regular updates: There probably won't be any regular WIP posts or updates during June. I need to completely step away from the screen, travel a bit, and clear my head. First, I'm going to chill on a weekend trip with friends, and next, I'm heading to Pyrkon later this month (it's a Polish fantasy festival with some Arcane meetups and an Arcane music concert, so yey! 🥰).

For $10 Club Members: Because of the delay, your release is shifting slightly. The full animation will unlock for you on June 9th. Thank you so much for your patience!

A quick note about billing and access

Since the massive 7+ minute animation just dropped, your June subscription ensures your continuous access to it throughout the month.

However, because there won't be any new regular WIP updates in June, please manage your subscription accordingly:

If you want to skip June: If your next billing date is coming up and you want to pause due to the lack of new updates, please feel free to pause or cancel your subscription for this month.

For the $3 Tier: Since you are here strictly for WIPs and there won't be any this month, if your subscription renewed recently (up to June 5th) and you feel unhappy about it, just send me a DM and I will happily refund your last $3 payment. (The tier descriptions have now been updated to clearly state the lack of new content for the rest of the month).

But if you decide to stay and support me during my recovery month anyway, I will be incredibly happy and grateful!

About the current poll and your suggestions

I see your comments under the poll and I'm happy to see that you guys like my animation so much! 🔥 The visions of creating new positions and scenarios get me excited too, but I need to space them out. I physically cannot implement all of your requests into a single next animation. We will tackle your ideas gradually, over time, rather than rushing everything at once.

Thank you so much for understanding, for your financial support that literally keeps me going, and for being such an awesome community.

Take care, get ready for the poll results, and I'll see you around after a bit of much-needed recovery!Mr. Lovero

Btw... did any of you notice that she was squirting shimmer? Let me know in the comments if you caught that detail! ;)
