SO. I am in a stump. To be honest, the Neuvithesley reward was very much frustrating me so I decided to make a filler video to get a break and take my mind off it so I decided to make an easy one in my mind and I landed on the idea of a Gallagher paizuri animation literally yesterday. Initially, it really was going to be live2D but I thought, hey, I'm planning to do a frame-by-frame LukeJamie for February reward anyways, why not warm up now?
* Incorrect Buzzer * because I am a massive fool and completely forgot that I have Carpal Tunnel. And the reason I stopped doing frame-by-frame animation is because it flares it up really bad and apparently, I just... completely forgot about it?? I still don't understand how it completely disappeared from my tiny peanut mind, I literally resigned from one of my jobs last year because of it being quite a big deal at that point in time and somehow I completely forgot about it???-
But yeah, I just now remembered it 16 hours in the making of a "filler video" so I had to stop. I was loving how it was turning out but I really don't want to injure myself so I am unable to finish it. I attached what I've finished of it in this post though so please check it out even though it's pretty much just Gallagher sitting there being pretty (I just chose what looked presentable enough which... isn't really much, I chicken scratch sketches so there's a buncha scribbles of circles and positioning no one will understand other than me).
I don't want to abandon it though so I'll just be remaking it entirely in Live2D. Since most of the Live2D animating process actually falls in the rigging instead of the drawing part (as seen in the process videos I've recorded where most of the time spent is seen), it's better for my wrist/hand/arm to work with. If I don't sleep, you'll get it in 2 days. If I decide to sleep, you'll get it in maybe a week. Hopefully the Neuvithesley video will be done by then too so you can get two rewards.
Anyways, back to the other updates- LukeJamie for February will 100% not going to be frame-by-frame anymore, I've learned my lesson- unless future me decide to be a little shit and do it anyways (that's their problem, not mine, good luck future me). It will still be LukeJamie though, as I promised before, and dual remake ChiLi is for March. 'Dual remake' means there's two versions of the video, one is the usual one and another is a 🐈 version (I am unsure what to call it though? Trans? Cuntboy? Futa? I don't want to be disrespectful). So, it's the same video but different nether region equipment for Zhongli so not really the same 'cause hand positions and stuff will be different.
I'm also going to drop any plans for frame by frame in the future, sadly. I'm really bummed about it- and I still don't understand how I completely forgot such an important health thing??
Also, I feel shitty leaving you guys hanging and all so I took a small excerpt from the Neuvithesley video so you can have a little more preview of it aside from the short clip in the 2024 roundup.

Thank you for your patience, I'll dump sketches later today because I sketch ideas a lot and then forget to finish them so there's a bunch no one but the discord server has seen.
Bye bye frame Gallagher... I'll see you in Live2D...
