Heeeeeey, long time no see xD
Hope you all are doing well and having a good 2023 so far! I’ve been well! Just busy as heck xD
I know things have been a bit quiet on my end, and I’m sure you all want an update on Ashfur All Along or any other projects xD
Truthfully the answer is…I’m not sure xD
The brief stint of time where I churned out MAP parts left and right was a lot of fun, but as I’ve gone on, I’ve realized something.
I don’t like doing frame by frame animation xD
I absolutely adore 2D animation with every fiber of my being, but that one Nightcloud animation I did pretty much burned me out on that form of animation. I do not find it fun or rewarding Bc I always want to move onto the next thing and not spend 50 hours on the same character all at once xD (doesn’t help that I do it really inefficiently)
It reminded me of my weeklong preview year of SCAD where they had us animate on lightboxes, and I was so glad I took that class Bc I switched what major I wanted to pursue and I never wanted to flip paper ever again xD
That being said, I still do love making PMV videos ^^ I actually wanna dip my toes into proper video production that’s not just MAP parts. I suppose that I felt in some ways that in order to improve or do more ambitious things that I’d have to incorporate frame by frame more and more. As a perfectionist I started dreading it xD
Hence the pause.
I also wanted to pose a question to you all, given some of the discussion I’ve seen on Twitter and my current mood. I’ve got to be in a certain flow to do MAP parts, especially given that I’ve sort of edged out of doing non-commission work most of the time. I still do enjoy making videos and even directing MAPs ^^
So here’s my question.
How do you all feel about people who host maps, do all the art direction, management, and final editing, without actually having a part in the MAP themselves?
Ofc being a writer, producer, or director, editor is a job all on its own. Realistically it’s as valid a job as an animator or illustrator portfolio wise. I’ve been toying with the idea since I’ve had so many ideas for MAPs in the past, and some that are nearly fully finished and ready to host for a while.
I’d be happy to assist participants with backgrounds and maybe also editing, but I wasn’t sure how people would feel about MAP creators hosting without doing parts themselves. I don’t wanna make it seem like I’m posting others works for views or numbers. Especially when realistically I’m wouldn’t be doing *nothing*…
Idk, I’ve literally been thinking about it for months xD
What do you all think? ^^ I’d love to hear your feedback!

Thinking out loud while working on stuff n things.
The recent ych trend has been so cool, and I think I’ve found some audio that would allow a bunch of people to get slots in the same video. We’re talking like...29 unique characters.
If slots went for like...$25 or $30 a piece, would anyone be interested in doing that?
Not saying this will happen anytime soon, but it’s just an interest check ^^

Would you all like to see any more superhero themed WC projects in the future?
Would you like to see any character designs from GCG make a return? If yes, who would you want to see?
What about new characters? What heroes would they be based on? ^^
Id love to hear your ideas in the comments below!
Also worth mentioning...they don’t have to just be comic book superheroes :3

Finishing up Gotham City Guys is taking a smidge longer than expected. We're hoping to get it done today, and we probably still can, but it's extremely late in the day, like I would estimate a few more hours until rendering the final video begins. I'm torn. On one hand we would have a holiday upload at a pretty bad watch time. On the other, we do it tomorrow with a proper premiere and during favorable viewing hours for the algorithm. I wanted to ask you all for your opinions on what we should do, because I want to make the best first impression with my first finished MAP.
What do you think?

Hey! Again, been a little while, but I have a fun thing to show you all!
I’m honored to have collaborated with a ton of artists on Thomas Sanders’ new Storytime Mad Libs video
https://youtu.be/Ag1aG7D3jn0
I got to design the kings for the sleeping beauty section of the video and had a lot of fun with my part, even if it was only 7 seconds long xD
Go and check it out if you’re interested, and potentially GCG will be ready sometime in November or December. Hopefully more content soon!
Stay safe everyone, and go VOTE if you can ^^

Hello hello!
My name is Alari, also known as Cookie-Brooke. Welcome to my channel where we focus on art, animation, and even host independent series! I’m hoping to tell my own stories and even help other creators learn about creating themselves!
Our first massive project is a little indie animated series called Neo-Meso Post, a story about two best Dino friends who’re working hard to rise through the ranks of their Courier’s Guild!
If you wanna follow Lark and Mulberry’s adventures, help support the show to make it a reality, or just wanna see me brainrot from time to time, please subscribe!!
