uuuupdate

Hey guys, here's an update on my activities.

The job I wrote about in my last post is a little over half over. It's going generally well. I'm not sure yet whether I'll want to publicly link myself to it, I've asked to not be credited, as it is..... well i'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I'm directing it and doing all of the character assets (no writing, backgrounds, music, voice acting etc). One thing I will say is that after this much time away from my own projects I am feeling creatively recharged and when this thing is over I will be ready for some sweet action. You can interpret that any way you like.

I have submitted not one but two grant applications to Screen Australia, my local funding body. One is for a 30-35 minute cartoon set on Pleasure Island called Fernando and the Phallus of Glycon. The other is a smaller one for an animated version of Fernando and the Orb of Gaia. I'd rate my chances of getting the first one as very low and my chances of getting the second one as regular low. The first one is gigantic and probably a lost cause if I don't get the grant. If unsuccessful with the second grant, I think I will try to fund Fernando and the Orb of Gaia through patron ie with your help.  I think it's an amazing story and worthy of cartoonifying.  (If you're not familiar with it, it's a collaborative comic written by viewers from 2014.  The animation would be significantly expanded and different in places.)

I have found some time while on this job to work on Moancore, and it's starting to look pretty good in places. I'd say it's about 2/3 there. I'll probably need 2 weeks to finish it once I'm free again.

To new patrons, hello, welcome and thanks for making a pledge! Here is the $5 reward and $10 reward

for anyone who is new or has missed them, as they tend to get buried in the feed somewhat.
