So far I’m having an incredibly difficult time setting aside the requisite time and focus to make real progress on this animation, much less on the remaining 380 or so frames of character animation that I’ll have to tackle afterwards.…
As we approach true artificial sapience at unknown but increasing speed from an unknown but decreasing distance, our fears and assumptions about what will happen to us become repetitious. It is generally assumed, for various reasons, that the existence of…
Another slow week, though I feel like I’m starting to get back up to speed. I’ve been going back to animation work, though with a number of false starts: First, I discovered that I’d messed up somewhere in the process…

I got the piece I wanted to post today up to around 1300 words, with 2/3rds of the outline left to fill, and realized I wouldn’t be able to finish it in time.That’s okay, though, because I just finished a…
