...I am alive!
🕑 Added 2023-09-12 23:30:49 +0000 UTC...I am alive! To those who have been wondering and concerned I appreciate the messages, to those who want to slap me for my lack of updates and communication, well...I can't blame you. On a platform like this my performance of late has been disrespectful to you and I apologize.
I haven't stopped animating & especially learning new skills to improve content, but it has been tough with time split between various projects, some burn out & my attempts to hopefully raise the quality of work, which often brings the pace of completing things to a depressing crawl at times, so much so that posting a meagre update can be embarrassing.
But please don't take any of the above as attempts to excuse myself from the lack of updates, communication & transparency. On a platform like this it's disrespectful to you guys for me to operate like this and I apologize. I don't expect to have your continued support, I can only thank you for the ability thus far to develop these original IP projects, try to do better, and humbly offer the update below on V45.
V45 will be a space-horror action/adventure short. Following a warrior-pilot & his crew's search for their fallen leader.
The attached video is elements from the intro & V45 short-film. As you can see many aspects are still work-in-progress, mostly because of technical challenges.
An update on the YATRA project will be coming soon!

Whoa! This is epic! Salute brother!
Sagnamenn
This short peak was incredible! Absolutely love the style as always! :D
Kyle Felix
So happy to find this page. this looks so amazing. As always, I am in awe of your work. Can't wait(but totally can, no rush) to see what you do!!!
Nico
I subbed to this Patreon just to figure out what was happening with Astartes and read this update. I figured you'd be working for GW in official capacity now, but are you even working on anything 40k related anymore? I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere already, but it's really puzzling. Some years ago (after your animations got pulled) you said you're working with GW. Has there been a change to that?
Evan Raynor
I honestly don't know what it is about your animation style, but everything feels natural - and godamn.... the sense of weight you get to movement is legitimately the best i've ever seen. I LOVE your work. Puts most artists/animators to shame tbh.
Mark Henriksen
sweet Jesus hiw did I miss this post. this looks amazing. your cinematography/camera angle choice and lighting really stand out to me. so moody love it man
Rodolfo M
What you do is amazing, I don’t care if it takes time, just never stop please
DaBLODE
love ya dork.

Where did you hear about this falling out? I've been scouring the internet, and all I could find were a couple rumours from some reddit comments, and given that he mentions his time being "split between various projects" and his lack of activity here, I could only imagine his work with GW is eating up his time? Only other option besides that I can think of is that he had to go back to doing freelance work or whatever it was he did before Either way I'm also very happy to see what he has in store for the future, that Syama Pedersen animation just hits different
Indra Stark
insparational art and love to detail needs time- and you... you deserve the support you get from us. And sometimes it involves a bit waiting for that "great Pedersen Stuff" - I hope you doing good now with all that pressure and work- I can´t wait for the next things you show us.
Gladiatorat
As usual the animation has impact! Cheers, brother! You've given us plenty with Astartes for long time to come. Both of your projects look great. Hope you're doing well.
chromicacid
This, sir, is why I support on patreon. It's a long-haul investment on my part in you :)
Gabriel Ramos
Amazing work! Your craft is so inspiring man. Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to study redshift but I'm having trouble finding material for Max. Do you have some resources?
Andrew Cowell
Glad to hear you are ok bro. Love the new video. All the best.
Ranul Ranepura
After patiently waiting for the sequel to Astartes, I only just found out about the falling out with WH40k and was so devastated to hear both that it happened and how terrible people have been to critize you and push you out of a hobby - I'm sorry! But oh this post brings me so much joy, I'm so excited for the worlds that you will make and the pure joy you will bring to us fans with your talents! Keep up the amazing work - absolutely cannot wait!!

V-45 arts look dope btw, also am looking forward to Yatra.

Take your time man. Burn out happens to everybody, Patreon subscriptions are not purchases - it's a voluntary support for a creator. You owe us nothing.
ThatSwede
I came for Astartes, stayed out of curiosity and was certainly not disappointed - keep up the awesome!
Dan Brayve
Beautiful
Anton Kovalenko
That is breathtaking in both animation and sound! Though I am concerned about your `raise the quality of work`, where the hell are you heading? You're already so high up xD
Wayne Yip
HELL. YES.
Bigonimous
Holy crap man out of left field today. and another home run. Looks sick, can't wait to see more.
SPYDOR
Your work never ceases to astound us. Seriously looking forward to what you create for V-45.
Noah Catan
amazing stuff!! take all the time you need, the quality of work speaks for itself in the end 💪
Wil Wells
Space vikings, take my money!
ibrahem
This is so fucking good :(
Asani
Seeing a teaser like this was worth sticking around for. On the whole I'd favor smaller updates more often, but however you need to work please just keep working!
ERRORnoname
thanks
Erwin Doppler
Looks amazing also I like the nordic theme.
Bradley Fretwell-Beadle
The illest of sickest things I have ever witnessed. I am very glad to supporting such a talent. My guy take your time do it right, make it great. This is the way!
Sean Grady
Also, c'mon, those dust sims are packing some awesome plumes, man. Favorite shot so far. :D
Sean Grady
Yuuuuuussss! So happy to see you around again! I knew you were probably working on stuff/taking some breaks. Don't lose your sanity! XD
CommissarGurke
By Odin's Beard, I can't wait to see what comes next! Please take all the time you need, I'm glad I can support your creativity even a little.
Steve
This looks soooo freaking cool! Take your time and make it epic!
Dan
As someone else who is working on their own IP (TTRPG) and also doesn't release updates as often as they should, I know the feeling all too well. Keep up the good work. Can't rush passion projects or you'll burn yourself out.
Batcat
God damn! This is like three teasers in one! You spoil us, good sir! And what amazing teasers they are, I'm stuck here just watching this over and over again. Btw, what language are they speaking?
Jessamyn De Vos
So exciting to see new things from you, friend! I'm glad you're well.
Whiskerz
Glad to see you putting out content, your art is worth the wait
Dest
Looks awesome. Take your time.
TWyth
UnREAL how good that is holy shit, it's just impeccable. The lighting and tension of the pilot in the cockpit, the zig-zag bolt across the plain and the return salvo shaking the camera, striking up the dust. The best sci-fi animator out there. Needs his own studio
Daniel
This is already looking so good! Happy to help front the cost!
Robin Everett-McGuirl
This just disintegrated my entire body.
Miles Webb
What you have already given us is worth the support. I am only excited to see more.
IT'S B
Your work never ceases to amaze, that being said your health and enjoyment of what you do should always come first. You stay awesome, we'll be here.
Seán
Don't think I've ever clicked on a notification as fast. You keep working and I'll keep supporting.
Patrick Cahill
Dude, your work is just so incredibly amazing. Not just the visuals, but the sound-design, mood, setting, and detail. Honestly, I stayed subbed on your patreon just to make sure you got a proper thank you for Astartes, I consider V-45 stuff a bonus, and you've already blown me away. -- Do whatever you need to do to avoid burn out. Your work is always worth the wait.
davekroil
I'm not going anywhere, looks great.
Robert
I was only interested in Yatra but after seeing this, WOW you got two awesome projects and I can’t wait to see more.
Arthrius
I'm so glad I stayed supporting, this looks too cool
Augustus Neary
This looks incredible. Just open up your own studio at this point - you’re already setting a new benchmark in animation!
Justin Krause
We're all excited, don't worry.
Emperor’s Champion
You have my continued support! I can't wait!
