#positronic opera

[zlo-sovs-lifeboat]

In preparation for the first episode of my upcoming indie (and i mean really indie, it's just me making it for now) animation series the

POSITRONIC OPERA

I decided to try a different type of post, showing a process for the first episodes shining star and my beautiful baby boy -41 76 65 73

You'll learn ABOUT him in the series, here you'll only see a lot of progress shots i usually keep to my friends. But i need engagement. SO...

RANDOM WIP PICS- GO

fair warning - this fucker took almost a month to make, which is the longest I've ever taken for a personal project that isn't my avatar, and if you've seen my avatar- you'd know why that takes ages.

What i am saying is - prepare for a fucking huge post

He really is so faste' ,fastestest evere

(it's true, he's only male so that he can be gay)

(not) a fun fact- about this point i had a crisis of faith that almost made me quit making him. Unfortunately for the crisis, my theme song has the freedom leitmotiff in it, so i got over it.

Yes i call myself Mordred the Murderous, i am a FUCKING WIZARD (not really, but i kinda found the name funny and didn't bother to ever change it)

yes i am corny as shit, it's normal Intersex behavior. I have two modes- Dracula castlevania, and Burgley Deltarune if his head wasn't up his cloaca.

(that is a lie, i have about a hundred mutually exclusive modes)

The external alerons were a real headache for a while ,you're not ready for the solution that i came up with for them.

Need it be said also, that i did make a few progress gifs to promote Positronic opera on twitter. And the reception was... Lukewarm at best. It's mostly the algorithm, but whichever the cause it really sucks to see your own passion project not be met with the same kind of passion from your own audience.

You get used to it though, it's why i'm still working on it, lol.

Also i ran out of pic limit so... continued in part Two... possibly even three

Fun(?) fact -this shot took 5 hours to render.

It's 300 frames

Out of 2600

Yeah needless to say i am not finishing the first episode by the end of august.

But it looks so good though, it's worth it. I just have to overnight all the rendering.

I'VE FINALLY FUCKING DONE IT

HRTAGHRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S FINALLY DONE LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

iT took me two bloody weeks of slave labor to finish this city. But it's finally done.

and it's beautiful

in the wasteland, there is a star field. And in that starfield is a spire to heaven

Can you see the factory seal on it? On the humanity that built it? In spite of it all, in spite of all they've done. They have once more made a place for complacence.

What wonders will it's corpse hide?

Find out soon, in

So.

Positronic Opera, the indie animation show i am working on by myself is coming along well

But that does beg the question.

Do i do a premiere on the first episode or do i just drop it unannounced? A premiere, just in case i need to clarify, is a function on YouTube where you can schedule a video to go out at a certain time, and alert everyone in advance that it is going out so that people can gather and watch it live.

I want to present it well, and i hope it help the initial views. But if the turnout is poor, which... considering the current reception is a very likely scenario... I might go into a depressive episode.

I haven't had one in almost 2 months now, would be a shame to break my streak. but i also feel like just throwing it on YouTube is inappropriate with how much blood sweat and every other fluid (yes, even spinal) is going into this. At the same time the first episode is less than 7 minutes and like... it's my first try at a fully fledged animation since Panzerritter which was a total bust and I'm anxious about under-delivering.

it's a real conundrum.

Do i Premiere the first episode of the positronic opera?

Yes, it's better to build anticipation that way

No, it won't magically get more people interested.

I don't care. I'm not watching either way

Jesse what the hell are you talking about?

i cannot wait to see more of Positronic Opera, i wish you luck in your labours

thamks, it's going well enough

I'm almost done with the hardest parts. Just one really tough sequence left. Then it's all easy but tedious street. from there

i won't spoil anything from this point because i want it to have the full impact and whatever.

but i will add this specific interaction because i find it really funny

Never thought I'd edge my friend THAT way.

Also - don't look through my twitter i was crashing out because the sun broke, but it's fine now.

Still - reasonably lower your expectations everyone. it's gonna be short, and probably kinda lackluster. But it's the best that i can finish without killing myself.

More Positronic Opera Polls, yay i fucking love polls

OK. So.

I'm working at a pace aptly described as "tectonic". Mostly because i am bringing my A grade ,Vintage, finest Autism to the task.

I'm doing my best, and best takes time. But that is not why I'm here.

Since last poll concluded, very decisively, that i should do a premiere on my YouTube channel

It's now time to try and maximize it's attendance.

First and Foremost- i gotta know when you're all willing to show up. The first episode is going to be at the most 7 minutes, and considering i still have to edit 90% of it -probably less. It's not that big a time commitment, but it's still something you actually have to sit down and watch. I'm aiming to unveil it at the end of this month if I'm lucky, so now we just have to pick which day to air it on.

When do i Premiere the first episode?

Monday

Tewsday

Wednesdnady

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

After we decide on the day I'll make a second poll with the actual time, but that's in the future.

You can argue that this is a weird way to do an attendance questionnaire. But in my defense - i don't know how people live. Logic would suggest the weekend as the optimal time for a showing, but then i browse through my 6 years of posting on twitter and realize that the weekend is when a lot less people actually browse the net.

so it's up to you now.

May the best day win.
