Hey!
Ya might of already seen that I'm taking a little break from twitter and I thought I'd make a little post here detailing that.
To sum it up basically, I've never been fully happy with the quality or my skills when it came to animating. Around the start of the year, maybe middle of January or so, I started to really like how my still pictures started to turn out, that caused a massive resurgence of some motivation that I was lacking. As the year started I'd been feeling a little burnt out creatively, but that basically kickstarted me again, and for the last 6 months I've hardly made any animations because of the simple fact that I grew to dislike them, whilst loving making stills.
So what was the problem with this? Well simply put, I've always preferred animations over stills. And, I think that's a fairly unanimous opinion when it comes to smut. And I'd always wanted to be able to put out animations and be happy with that. I'd accepted since I started, the first animations I put out will be ass. And, imo they were :P But we all have to start at the ground level and build our way up. And, for a year or so, I felt I was making consistent progress with animating and my skills in such. But after a while it just became a rather frustrating ordeal for me. I'd end up animating the same sequence 5, 10, 20 times and still not be happy with it. I felt like my progress had plateaued and I wasn't improving my skills when it came to animating anymore, which sorta stopped my drive for them in its tracks, especially when I started to actually like my stills I just wanted to focus on making those instead.
However, I still want to be an animator first and foremost, that's what I personally enjoy doing and when animations look nice its 100x more satisfying then a good still. The point of me taking this little step back and ignoring twitter for a lil bit is basically to recharge those batteries and work on animating in the background. I was sorta on the edge about doing that, but the straw that broke the camels back, as we say, is that my account has been shadowbanned for the last two weeks almost. These things usually wear but its meant that my growth, engagement and viewership is down to 10%~ of its usually value. For context, the usually last about a week and I get about 70% of my usual stats. I'm not someone who's overly bothered by all this, but when im in a bit of a low point its made for a good excuse to justify taking a lil step back to myself.
Anyways, my plan going forward is stills are gonna be solely to fill gaps between content. For the time being, im shifting focus to making animations my main content and trying my best to grow and improve with them again. Content usually sits as a patreon exclusive for about 4 days or so before going out to twitter at a lower quality. Now, I'm going to putting things out to Patreon as they finish up, but nothing will be going to twitter until I feel ready. When that is the case, I'm probably only going to be posting the things im most happy with. If its something that after some time has passed I don't think its good quality, its just gonna be staying here. Of course, I usually keep working on things until I'm 100% happy with them. But the perfectionist in me always wins in the end, and after some time all I can see are flaws in them :P
Oh! And I've got some model updates coming soon!
Thats my piece to say then, thanks for reading ^^
Hope to see ya all again soon,

TL;DR:
- Been feeling a little burntout/demotivated as of late
- Im taking a lil bit of time away to focus on improving my skills as a content creator
- Animations are now going to be my main focus/content
- Stills are pretty much only going to be a filler, unless I get a good idea that wont animate well
- Contents gonna sit exclusively on Patreon whilst I work on improving quality, unless I think its good enough to go out to twitter
- Models coming soon!
