Notice: August animation poll cancelled

Heads up, patrons! There's a small bump in the road ahead, below is a quick summary followed by more details:

- The August animation survey & poll is cancelled
- During August, I will complete the Sally animation from the July poll as planned
- The September animation survey will be posted as usual on September 1st (back to normal)
- I will still produce at least one animation in September

So essentially, I have some big things coming up in September (unrelated to animation) that will take up a lot of my time. Thankfully it's nothing bad, but with how much of a challenge it's been to finish the monthly animations lately, I already know I wouldn't be able to do a big animation with all that going on. So I've decided to cancel the August survey and poll.

Just to clarify since it's a bit confusing: the monthly polls determine what project I work on during the next month, which is why it's the August poll being cancelled due to things happening in September.

Despite the cancellation, I will still produce at least one animation in September. I will be deciding what to make during that time based on how I'm feeling, and it will be smaller in scope compared to the recent monthly winners since I'll have less time to put it together. I will try to make something that I know most of you will enjoy based on the recent poll outcomes, so it shouldn't be anything too out of left field.

As a side note, I'm still working hard to finish the Tyrande animation from the June poll. Things were already tight to get it done before the end of the month, and then a storm rolled in 2 days ago and knocked out the power for 23 hours. I was planning to do animation work and rendering during that time, so that set me back a bit. Nonetheless, I'm busting my ass even more now to catch up and I'm hoping to have it miraculously posted tomorrow anyway (barring any other issues, of course).

I hope you can understand why I've decided to cancel the August animation poll. I try to be as transparent as possible so that you know what to expect from me, and I'd hate to disappoint. I look forward to the return of the poll in September, and thank you so much for all of your generous support!
