Hi. It's been a while again - as promised I'm working on a video of 'drunk Laurene' that is currently 3 minutes long. I have to admit, a couple weeks ago I ran into burnout yet again - making long projects solo tends to do that to me. I will get it out of course, since almost all of my several minute animations have had the same phase. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it - the obvious one is to do smaller scale projects, but I'll have that as a last resort if I really can't eventually find a work around for this.
The most obvious issue I run into is that I'm too impulsive and jump into the depths of the project with a -basic- idea of what I'm going to do, and eventually find myself lost and confused since I didn't properly plan the route ahead. You'd think by now I would have learned to just sit down and plan every part of the animation before putting on my gloves, but I tend to hyper focus and zoom into the most interesting part out of habit. I think there's a bit of ego in me saying "this time I can just push through, no big deal!"
Other concerns have risen recently as well. Patreon's guidelines don't allow certain kinds of fetishizing which you can read here.
So regarding certain future projects I have in mind, that leaves me in quite a pickle! In recent years Patreon has tightened their grip on pornography, and while I'm aware that eventually for one reason or another I'm to be removed from this platform (ultimately just for making sexual content, I know how this domino effect works) I'll have to play by their rules.
That also means I have to change things about my current project. Bummer! That's been quite a wrench in the gears. But other than informing you about it, I just wanted everyone to be aware of certain kinds of content I can no longer have on this platform.
