Spring update
a month ago
Good Evening everyone, I hope spring is treating you right.
I've been feeling pretty good lately, much better then I was for a long while and thought Id give a update.
Life keeps throwing curve balls but I've been doing well in recent weeks and been making good strides in getting the commissions I owe finished which is great, still a ways to go but I'm feeling rather optimistic that summer will be good this year, hopefully no panic attacks like last year YIKES lol, thank you all for being patient with me. People who follow me elsewhere already know I had some bad electrical problems recently, luckily was able to get it temporarily fixed but will need to replace some parts sooner or later so will need to save up some money.
I just finished doing a live stream tonight, been maybe a year since I last streamed any art but it went pretty well, still cant get my mic to sound good but oh well, its not necessary. Id like to stream again sometime this week and Id like to do a Sketch/inked commission stream sometime soon and see how it goes, probably $55 a character if ya'll are interested.
Tho I've mostly been working on commissions and trying to be healthier, I have been creating assets and backgrounds to assemble the first chapter intro for Stay A Spell into a playable demo. backgrounds are still a bit tricky but not to bad. one part that is a big challenge is that where the script for the first chapter ends is where I would like to do an animatic scene with a song, I've been working on writing more lyrics but its pretty hard without a melody to go by. I might need to hire a lyricist and musician.
Basically after Ms. Vixen is introduced I want her to sort of slide into singing "Oh poor little thing, you must be so weary, tired, feelings I know all to well 🎵 , come inside kick up your feet. why don't you Stay A Spell🎶 " as she guides her to the dinning room and begins a Disney like song similar to the likes of Friend like me, Be our guest or Friends on the other side. But I cant plan it out to much without having the song to go off of. even though its going to be an animatic and not a full animation you still need to time the movements to the beat of the song.
Someone suggested using Fiver to hire a song writer and that might be an option, it will probably cost an estimate of around $300-$500 per song which is pricey but understandable but I'm very confused about the licensing and rights to the song, so I haven't gone forward with anything yet.
And when I've tried making wanted posts for musicians in the past for Only In Legend most people do edm and middi stuff, not that those are bad but that wouldn't work to well for a song like this.
Having some sketches/concept art might still be useful and help the song writer even if its not super specific.
And then the first part of the intro requires more assets then expected cause hazels by herself without another character to bounce off of so its relying on a lot of cutscene type image's. plus its set up like the beginning of a film cause that's the whole vibe I'm going for.
I think the smart thing to do will be to spend the rest of April working on my commissions and probably also do some sketch commission live streams and hopefully free up some time and have a little savings to work on Stay a spell in May which would be very nice. but we'll see I don't want to rush or get carried away.
