So... What now?
8 months ago
I'm gonna get a bit personal in this, so feel free to just read TLDR to skip all this.
TLDR:
Need to focus on earning money and working on a dream project. Not giving up on animation, but it's going to be slow (yes, i know, it's funny coming from me).
Gonna try doing commissions on the side - setting up a hipolink for now. More info in January.
It's been a week since i uploaded my new animation and i'm really happy with the feedback. Thank you again and i'm glad you enjoyed it!
Now that's done, one might ask - what's next? Well, i do have a list of projects i'd love to make in the future:
1) I really wanna make a short animation with Athena from LeoDaModeler.
2) A Short animation about a funny dream i had years ago about survivors, werewolves and alcohol.
3) A Long animation about an evil wizard, their captive and a hero. UB themed.
I do have more projects i'd like to share, but i'm gonna end it here for now, since it's gonna take a while to get these done. Ideally, i'd love to make a game too, but let's not get ahead of myself. =)
And now the sad part.
I'm gonna really slow down with uploads here (hilarious, i know) and gonna try focusing on my dream project and trying to make money, so my apologies to everyone who gave me a watch and wanted to see more.
That being said, i'm not planning on abandoning this hobby. I really like making animations!
Anyway, why am i so slow anyway?
Well, besides it being just a hobby after all, there was another reason why the progress on latest animation was slow as hell.
I was planning to finish it in a year after a teaser, then 2022 FUCKED me up real good... I still didn't fully recover from it.
Don't worry, though! I'm doing MUCH better now and got really motivated, which helped me finish the project and get out of slump i was in. So i'm not gonna dwell on it.
Change of topic!
I'm considering doing commissions to help myself financially while doing what i like. No pressure though, i'm gonna be looking for a job for stable income meanwhile.
I'm still thinking on how i should handle this, since i'm russian (surprise!), it's hard to get payments from other countries. There one of the possible ways people can pay me is through a hipolink i've set up recently.
No price list yet though, working on it! Gonna post more in January.
Well, i think that's about all i wanted to say. Thank you (and sorry) for listenning to my rambling.
Hopefully i'll share more animations with you in the future!

I don't mind you're Russian. Besides, I think personality define a person not a country. And your latest full animation shows me that you have many good will inside (metaphorical inside <) of course).
And feel free to rumble. Sometimes it is needed unfortunately to release stress. :(
PS. So the Furrafinity shiny system https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9150534 doesn't work for you?
I just would like it to know because I'm lazy and I never used the hipolink and I don't quite want to spend extra time to learn it. xD
Forgive me please! But if only hipolink works for you then I will dive myself in to get learn it. :(
So I would like to send a tip to you for the animation you made. Especially that you made the characters treat each other so nicely! <3 That's the best part of your animation! The way they treat each other! With respect, care and nice love. ^^ So wonderful!
Regarding the shinies. I gave a journal a quick look and afaik it supports sending tips to artists only to their PayPal, which i can't use, since we are blocked from it. So i'm afraid not, shinies won't work.
Hipolink in my understanding is sorta like an artist's mini store page that you can use to pay them for content or just browse the links they provided. I'm gonna simplify it really badly, but essentially it provides a third party solution of sending money with a bank card or PayPal to an artist that might not have the usual way of receiving those money. Part of russian artists use it to get paid for commissions from customers from different countries.
Of course, i recommend to use the service carefully, because personally i don't have much experience with it. I did get paid for a commission through this system via bank card once and received the payment successfully. So at least it worked for me so far.
I do have tips enabled there, so it should work the same. Don't get me wrong, i genuinelly appreciate the gesture (and boy do i love money)! Despite that, i urge you to consider spoiling yourself first before you consider tipping me.
Anyway, apologies for a lengthy response, just wanted to keep things clear. Hope that helps!
It was really easy to use Hipolink and it is interesting there's no actual registration. It amazes me how clever it is! :D
Anyway. I sent you the tip, so if you haven't got it by now then I did something wrong. 😬
PS. About nation: That person toss the rock at you whose country have never spilled any blood ever. I know it's more complicated than this so I take it just that simple you're nice to me so you're okay to me. :)
Also it is quite respectful how well you learned English! If I had to learn a whole new series of letters along with a new language I most likely didn't have the strength to even get started. :/
So congratulation you did it and did it so well!
I wish you the best to continue your animations or anything else artistic. :)
