Monthly update on ep2

Posted by Xiphon - October 2nd, 2017


Last i posted was august 1st, saying I had a final draft of the script ready to go. I hadn't anticipated the time it'd take to organize from there into actual animation, but I tend to be new to the process on a lot of these things. Regardless, things are in full swing and the episode is moving.

For clarity, i'm about 10% ish done after about 2 weeks of production. This puts a full episode at around 5 months of work, which isn't "terrible" but i wish it were a faster process. a lot of the slowdown right now comes from being hospitalized for a night and random family visits that have occured IN those two weeks, so I'm not really sure what the actual estimated ETA should be at this point.

On the flip side, everything is looking wonderful, and I'm excited to be in the thick of animation again! Here's a preview of one of the backgrounds I've drawn for it, a lavish office onboard a high-speed steampunk train!

I'm courious when will be out Episode 2?

It's taking a while. I'm going through a move and it's slowing down the work, but things are chugging along.

How many episodes will have the full series Toll of the Lost? Do you know?

not 100% sure. Right now I have 5 major ones in mind that follow a steady story arc, but I may take the scenic route to get there, if that makes sense. I have a lot of ideas for one-offs and such, but it all depends on how quickly I can produce episodes (so far it's moving along at an OK pace. It could be faster, but considering circumstances around moving and a new job that I just started, I'm not complaining at moving around 4-5 seconds of finished work a day on average). This isn't to say of course, that I don't have more than 1 idea for major story arcs that could each take several episodes to tell. Basically I'm pushing for longevity and consistency, but we'll see where it goes. The short answer is ~5 or 6 for a season we'll say.
