I know it’s past #IndieAnimationDay but-

Here’s a follow-up to the short I recently uploaded which explained LOCUS in general.
Unlike that video, this one elaborates on the film “No Matter How Small” in detail.

Understood. Thank you, and I wish you well on your work. 😌🌱

Spyral | LOCUS (Animated Project) @spyralatelier.bsky.social · 20d

Fair enough. 🙏

Spyral | LOCUS (Animated Project) @spyralatelier.bsky.social · 20d

Ooh okay, bet. 😌👌

And sorry, I call people "friend(s)" out of niceities, even if they're acquaintances or strangers. 😅

Spyral | LOCUS (Animated Project) @spyralatelier.bsky.social · 20d

Thank you kindly, friend. 🌟
Have you been up to anything in particular, other than your Nuname and Mickey drawings (which look fantastic, by the way <3)? 🌱

Vacation and sickness aside, progress has been going steady on the film’s development! I’m about halfway through building all the 3D environments.

Here’s a preview of a few interior set pieces, to give you an idea of what to expect. 👾

Hey, Arnold! 🏈
Sorry for the delayed reply, I’ve been both busy and sick lately. To what do I owe the pleasure? 🙌

I FINALLY finished all the essential storyboards for my film. 🥴

Next is to build the 3D environments (which I prepped for with sketchmaps).

Those who wish to see the boards in detail can do so via my Ko-Fi. 🙏✨

(Taking a short break from storyboarding due to burnout; felt like making this silly little comic as a follow-up to my artistic interpretation of Pomni in my series 🪿)

Perfect! Thanks. :D

Oh also, the Forms links are closed, so kindly send any demos/samples + your preferred roles via email. 🌱

Spyral | LOCUS (Animated Project) @spyralatelier.bsky.social · Jul 27

All the main roles have already been filled, but I do have volunteer positions for background characters! While I can't ensure a place in the film (with how many people who applied), it's still a higher chance than not throwing your hat into the ring. 🙏

The official teaser of "LOCUS: No Matter How Small" is up. 🌱

Although I’m not naming dates, I hope to have this film completed as early as December of this year, if not early next year. 🌤

Quick heads-up for those who’re still thinking of pledging to my Patreon!

I'm contemplating a switch to Ko-fi instead, as some of its features are more aligned with my preferred earning approach (instead of relying primarily on subscriptions).

It also looks cuter. 😁
