Gildedguy here with another update for the new snowy-themed animation. The past couple weeks have been very productive, for we have almost completed Chapter 2 (96%), and have made decent headway into Chapter 3 (24/69 scenes in progress). So we're about 4 minutes into the planned 25-minute long animation.
With the quick changes in scenery, we're producing a lot more concept art and palettes too.
Celestial palettes.
We're going to try our best to keep things moving. Be aware that the upcoming celebration of holidays will likely mean less time on animation and more on family.
Compositing
The past two days I've been focusing on doing some basic compositing on a wide breadth of scenes. For now, it's a "less is more" approach, since I want our palettes to shine more than the fancy rendering. It's both time efficient and artsy. This may change if we have extra time at the end of production. This is one of those optimizations that I believe will help us get it all done in time.
Keeping it simple!
GildedMaid
A minor (but apparently major) update to Gildedguy's Leathered design is a tweak to his cotton ball fluff things at the edges of his cape and gloves.
I was going for an appealing petal shape for these so that it would be easy to draw. Unfortunately I discovered that when the semi-circles were animated, they came off as flat and frilly. Not exactly practical for winter-wear.
So an update was made to the model sheet and now GG looks like a proper eskimo (not a maid)!

New Stickers
Since we're out of the previous set of stickers by Kero, members of the Gildedguy Discord Server have been submitting wonderful sticker designs for the sticker design event that ran throughout October. I've taken a look at over a hundred submissions and have picked out a couple dozen that I feel you guys will enjoy!
A few of the final candidates!
The final collection will have 40 stickers, and will be available in sets of 10. I plan to slip some of these into all orders and giveaway prizes as fun freebies as well!

That's all I have to report for now - hope you all have a good weekend.
