So I just haven't been feeling very inspired or motivated. Haven't been very satisfied with the songs I've been making either. But I'll keep putting something out if I can.

Sorry I haven't been doing much.

So, animations are going to take a back seat for some time until I really get something in line. I want to make a story with them and coming up with something compelling and executing it properly is gonna be a long process. I might post some of the short WIP loops on Youtube, but nothing is going here until the whole thing is finished.

As for music stuff, I'm still working on live recording stuff, but that takes a lot more time than digital. On top of being super rusty, I also want to make something significant with it. Digital music will still happen at a "normal" rate. Normal in quotes because I don't really have a set schedule, I just sort of make 'em and put 'em out.

Anyways, figured I'd just put that out there since I've felt pretty sporadic about things. Anyone looking for some kinda info on what I'm up to, there ya go!

Just gonna take this opportunity to turn my problems into something else... More delays, hooray!

Here's an unrelated picture to help visualize my past few days.

I thought there was a way to post GIFs. Oh well.

Opentoonz keeps crashing when I try to render this animation, so I'm probably gonna have to salvage what I can and make it into a short loop instead. Ah well, limitations and all that.

Try to render one more time tomorrow.

Might have a song/animations out tomorrow, not sure. Opentoonz keeps crashing and not rendering the full video.

Might be going too heavy on some of the FX for this little laptop to keep up :p

Hopefully I'll get it to render properly so I can get this out.

Hey, if something doesn't interest you, try going somewhere else instead of giving it a low vote and making a comment that shows you clearly don't give a shit. If you don't like metal, maybe don't vote on metal music. If you don't like furry art, don't vote on furry art. If you don't like violence, don't vote on violent cartoons.

Especially when it comes to Under Judgement content. Hard for up and comers to get on their feet when someone just drops a 0 and calls their work pointless.

Just a thought.

Got everything in working order now! Recording has begun!

Whelp, the interface I got was borked, so they sent me a new one. Got the new one, but it has the same issues. Hopefully I can get it sorted... But that's gonna delay music quite a bit.

I have recently discovered an animation program called OpenToonz and also acquired a MIDI Interface for recording live instruments. Always been a huge animation fan and it's awesome to have this at my disposal. However, animation takes a lot of time, especially since I'm still learning. Similarly with the MIDI Interface, it's great I can record, however, I have to derust and learn how to record properly. So all in all, this is just to say things'll be slowing down here. Quality will rise, though. Pretty much everything I've made up to this point has been more for the conceptual blueprint, nothing is really a fully finished project. With these tools, I can now properly start to work! Get excited!

Quick update:

New song stands at 7:12. Just have to finish the drums, which is proving to be difficult.

I've also been working on art and I tried animating pictures, but that really slows down music since I don't have an animation program.

Anyways, song should be done soon, for anyone wondering.
