I'm back for another monthly update to let anyone who cares know what went right, what went wrong, and where is the porn we were promised.
I finished and released The Most Oppressed Group in History, however this production ended up being a bit of a shitshow. I originally did the guideline work and planned to do the entire animation in OpenToonz. However, I ended up having consistent stability problems while trying to use it for anything more than the guideline layer. I spent a good couple of days trying to get it to work but simply couldn't. So I had to export the work I did manage to do from OpenToonz and import it into trusty ol' Flash. While this ensured I could finish the animation, I burned more time than I anticipated dealing with OpenToonz and my further plans of moving to making OpenToonz my primary animation software got flushed down the shitter. But regardless, The Most Oppressed Group in History is done and can be watched on Youtube and Newgrounds here:

Due to the problems I had with OpenToonz the porn loop never ended up being done. While some crude guide lining work was made it never properly entered into any kind of production. As a result of this, instead of planning to move over to OpenToonz I've instead decided to move over to Clip Studio Paint. I have been testing it out and am currently working on a short animation loop that I plan to do in a few different styles. This is to see what style I find most comfortable and efficient to work with in CSP. When I do find something I'm comfortable with, I'll look to finally doing the porn loop. But for now, I'm just getting accustomed to CSP.
So? What's the plan for this month?
February I intend to finish the above animation and hopefully finish (or, at the very least, get started) the planned porn loop. But my main focus will probably be creating a new Live2D model. While kind of for myself, this is mostly to practice in Live2D for a vtuber model commission I have lined up for next month. So I'll try to put something out, but this month there isn't much in the way of high hopes for any major animations here on Newgrounds. I'll probably look to making more Youtube content since Youtube has no standards and will take any crap I shit out.
Well, that's it for this update I guess. Hopefully I can get something out for everyone to chew on, even if it's something small. But for this month my plans are primarily elsewhere.
Have a good one mates.
