I have some progress on my pony rigs, I think I've found solutions to my eyes problem, but nothing that I can show ready yet.

----------

Working on projects

Spike+Twilight BJ сommission. 40%

Fluttershy + futa Rarity. 20%

----------

Personal Stuff.

This month was extremely depressing and problematic for me, was very difficult to concentrate and work at something. But at the moment I'm starting to feel better and getting back on the track.

Also, for those who interested about my safety under the given conditions of my stupid country and stupid shit that my stupid retarded dictator has started. I am more or less secure and have already prepared all possible legal and not legal features and ways to protect myself.... Sigh*

I'm starting to miss 2021, it was just a worldwide pandemic, not as bad as it is now. =)

Thanks everyone.

Progress report for August 2022.

Thanks to video editing and discussion on 4chan about that my pony dolls being a far from canon looks. I got a link to the official archive leaked files ponies Flash dolls.

Thanks to that, I now have all 100% accurate references, of all the characters. Which I will use to build my super pony doll.

Honestly, Before that, I myself was always troubled by the feeling that something was wrong with my rigs. Something is missing. And thanks to this last bit, that feeling is gone. I finally feel like I have everything I need to start building.

I already used these refrences to make a new head for Fluttershy, which you saw in my last animation.

There are still a lot of logical construction puppet problems to solve.

(babbling about my problems in animation, you can skip)

-----------------------------------------------

The problem is that I need to build a puppet with ready logic, so that all its movements and turns are 100% ready and function together normally. So that this doll can later be used for all other characters. And I wouldn't have to go back and fix them all separately, when I made the next fix or discovery. So, I have to study and try everything before I start seriously.

And do this in 2D is very problimeotic. For example, the eyelashes on the characters' eyes alone, give me so many problems.

The character's eyes already have a bunch of different blink animations and pupil movements. But also, when the character turns his head, the entire eye should shrink and go behind the face, being lost from visibility when the character turns his face away.

If I change the shape of the eye with an animation, it will break all the blink animations inside. As they work with a normal shaped eye. So this idea doesn't work, but I can resize the whole eye layer together, which doesn't break the blink animation. But along with the eye, his eyelashes shrink too, making them...flat, which, is not supposed to happen. This problem has been bothering me for so long that I've already tried about 30-40 different methods to solve it, even did a separate eyelashes 3D model that I imported into my 2D model. So I can change the shape of the eye, the lashes don't become flat, and the animations don't break.

To this day, the problem has not been solved so far and was just fixed with patches.

And no, if you say, why not just make separate eyes for different head angles as in the official Flash ponies dolls.

That would mean for me that I would have to make separate eyes for each character for each angles of the head. And since each character's eyes are unique. I will have to make a unique blink animation for each eyes, and for each eyes angles of the head.

The official Flash ponies dolls have 5 different head angles, еach with her own eye. So I have to make 5 different versions of the same blink animation. For 6 characters, that's 30 animations of one version of the blink. But the eyes have many different emotions and blink options in MLP. How many things do I have to do, just for eyes blink animation? I'm just 1 person, I do not have a team of animators as MLP team.

Of course this "work harder" solution is not for me, and using scripts and tricks I have to find a better and simpler solution for 1 person. Or otherwise, I'll never be able to do any of the big projects I'd like to do in a reasonable amount of time.

Such problems take a lot of time just to think for a solution and try them out.

And sometimes I just have to solve stupid problems, like one time my character vector lines twitching when he bent his leg, and I couldn't figure out why. And spent a whole day just to figure out what was causing this weird bug.

-----------------------------------------------

This complaining about my problem because I understand that you came here to support me in exchange for animations. At the moment, my energy is only enough for one animation a month. The rest of the time I spend banging my head against the wall to come up with solutions for problems.

I apologize for that. And I honestly can't tell you how much more time will it take before I finally make this doll and go into turbo mode.

All I can say is, that I am definitely on the right direction.

Also /mlp/ AI REDUB 4 It finally came out. I participated in this collective retarded work. It was fun.

Have a good month, my fans.

Progress report for July 2022.

Hi there.

This month I tried my hand at meme and video editing. Which I think turned out pretty well, and surprisingly, I kind of liked doing it. It gives a nice change of workspace from the tedious bones action point placement in timeline and frame by frame NSFW editing. I'll definitely be doing this more when I get tired of regular animation.

Also this month I tried to optimize my work, and using the features of "bone physics" tried to invent a system that, depending on the movement of bone physics, triggers animation actions automatically. So I don't have to do it manually in the timeline.

Unfortunately, I haven't had any success with it and wasted a lot of time. Well, failures are part of progress, maybe later I will find a solution.

Other than that nothing more to report this month. Working as much as I can. But I'm still learning and gaining experience.

Fun!

Thank you for supporting me.

Progress report for June 2022.

Not much to report about this month.

I'm actively working on Fluttershy+Twilight projects, as much as I physically can. Until I am physically unable to hold a pencil due to pain in my hand. Or until I get maximum mentally tired of this project, after which I switch to other projects so it's not so boring to work doing the same thing.

At the moment I am working on.

Fluttershy+Twilight 30% complete.

One Personal сommission 90% complete.

Solar Comet+Twilight, fixes to YCH 100% complete.

Twilight + Shining Armor suck YCH 90% complete.

1 year thear 3 unique animation YCH reward. 5% complete.

Updates on Pony Rig.

Invented my own animation particle effects system for water droplets and liquids. This new system allows me to create a unique squirt at the touch of a button, but I can also animated each droplet manually to get the desired result. I love it =)

It still needs a little polishing, but I will only use this from now on.

This month, I also participated in the animation for

/mlp/ AI REDUB 04. Soon on every YouTube monitor. =)

Thank you for supporting me.

Have a good day, fun, and fan to you.

Progress report for May 2022.
Copy of the post from Patreon 2022-05-31

Only good news this time!

● I quit my job. And now I'm a 100% freelance artist.

Before, I wanted to quit my job when I got at least $300 per month. But given the new situation in the world, I'm just too disgusted to support the economy of this country. And some of you know that the last 1.5 years, I saved up money to buy a new powerful pc. Now, thanks to a special economic operation in this country, buy a new good pc has become... Let's put it this way, need as many rubles as it takes to buy a one-room apartment.

So, the amount I had is now useless for new PC, but with that I can, at least do nothing for 1-1.5 years. So, to hell with it, let's make only art now.

● All commission orders are complete.

I'm completely free now! And I'm planning to Do NOT take any new commissions, until I finish my Fluttershy+Twilight project. And since now I have more free time, I will only work on that. Yay!

● Progress with payments.

Payoneer was a real big ass pain. But after 1.5 months of persistent communication with technical support, I finally got my account and connected it to Patreon. And finally made a successful withdrawal on my Payoneer account and from there to my bank.

And now there is no risk that I will have to close my Patreon оr your money will just get stuck here. Everything is working fine and continue to work fine.

SubscribeStar seems to have also added a new function for my situation, but I have not tested it yet. I'll do it this month, and I'll give you an update if I can get SubscribeStar working again.

Thank you for support! Fun!
