Progress Report - April 10, 2023
🕑 Added 2023-04-11 11:46:21 +0000 UTCHello, everyone!
Let's shake the format up a bit again. Less talky talky, more watchy watchy.
Claire/Jill
I've put together a 90-second clip that I hope will at least help explain one of the reasons why it's taking me so long to get it together.
Patreon doesn't seem to want to upload gifs today, waited 20 minutes for it to fail to upload a 9MB gif. So I guess an image will have to be a good enough preview. Sorry.

DOAFantasy / DOAFACU
I've finished putting together all 14 posters, and have lit and scenebuilt them all. There are still some model issues that need to be fixed, so these are still half-resolution WIPs.

Overbreed Episode 1
Some weeks back I showed off a 6-ish-minute storyboard for Episode 1 of Overbreed. I worked on it some more. It's now 12-ish minutes. It hasn't reached the 15 minutes of existing animation, meaning that collectively there's 27-ish minutes of Overbreed Episode 1.
It is worth noting that the storyboard time projections aren't super accurate. They're just a very rough idea. For example, the Primordium video came out a full minute shorter than its storyboard projection. I've had other videos come out about a minute longer than their storyboards.
So don't take that 27 minutes as gospel truth. Especially since the storyboard, nor the animation, are done yet. It's going to be longer than that. I won't lie, I am starting to fear Episode 1 might approach an hour.

Fumates Pilot Storyboard
Yep. Been storyboarding the pilot for Fumates. This is split into two sections, the assembled storyboard, and the unfinished loose sex sequences.
You can click here to watch this 4-minute storyboard. It ends where the sex will begin, which will be compiled from the next section, once everything is ready.
Here are the individual components as I have them thus far. The final order hasn't been decided yet. All of the Cass elements have been decided on. I still need to figure out two more for Viv. When everything is assembled, this will be an interweaving of Cass and Viv. Between them, there will be 32 unique sex positions.

Kaeleen Introduction Video (Potential)
Not hard-committing to this one yet, but I had the idea of taking my pilot idea for Kaeleen's story and trimming it down significantly so it can be a relatively-easily-assembled video. The idea is to find a voice for her and reveal her as a complete package.
"These humans... Their emotions betray their intentions. Beneath their warm words and kind smiles, their lust shines bright against my Heartsense. They want to fuck me. Every last one of them. And despite my place as heiress to my land's throne, despite my destiny as sovereign which they must respect... A small part of me can't help but want them to."
That's the snippet I am considering as a video. Short, sweet, not too much narrative structure around it, it's fairly self-explanatory. The full pilot would obviously have more depth and structure to it, but for just a quick introduction, I think it gets the point across.

That's all for now, everyone! Until next week.
Hope you enjoyed this visual-rich progress report.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about the workload itself. I've absolutely loved working on Overbreed - I mean, I spent over a year writing the damn thing, and that isn't something you do if it isn't a passion project. And the 15-ish minutes of animation that had been done was put together in a pretty quick amount of time, because I was just so engrossed in it that I couldn't put it down. And even though it's been a year (or longer gosh I don't even know anymore) since I last touched the animation itself, that passion has never gone away. I only started the storyboarding of Episode 1 a month or three ago, but the idea had been batting around in my head far longer than that. It wasn't really until the smashing success of Primordium Episode 1 that I really jumped fully into storyboarding, with field experience proving how effective the method can be for my workflow. My main concern is just how long people would have to wait for the animating, voicing, and editing of all that material. I'm more than willing to put in the time, but I get worried whenever I have to make people wait more than a month. Claire/Jill is absolutely wrecking me in that capacity, the anxiety definitely requires active management. And Primordium taking so long for its final stretch, after how quickly it came together animation-wise, is starting to get there too. But at the end of the day, Overbreed Episode 1 will be however long it needs to be. I decided when I committed to the miniseries that I wasn't going to compromise or pull punches, for better or for worse. The story will be told however it needs to be told, and the episodes will be as short or as long as they need to be. In Overbreed Episode 1 needs an hour to tell its story, then it shall have an hour to tell its story. If it only needs 10 minutes, then it gets 10 minutes - though seeing as we're already past that point, I think it's fair to say that it'll need more than 10 minutes. I am staying firmly committed to that philosophy for Overbreed. No compromises. Hopefully people will be willing to meet my commitment with patience. It can be a hard ask, I know.

honestly- even if Overbreed episode 1 winds up being an hour long- I fail to see the issue here, I see this as an absolute win Provided of course you're taking *your* time and not carpal-tunneling yourself making THAT much animation, cuz good golly besides, as far as animated Overwatch porn goes, content longer than like- 30 seconds to a minute at all, is a miracle. An HOUR-long video that *isn't* just- a super compilation of stuff by several different artists is basically unheard of, and I FULLY welcome it if that's on the horizon so great stuff dude, can't wait to see more
