I just finished my first animated feature, guys!
This was something I had wanted to do for a long time. The nag to animate hit somewhere around the year 2018 but I struggled with the lack of equipment. I tried—yes—I had a little drawing tablet and had bought a software I wouldn’t recommend, and I had dipped my toe into the water of this new medium, but it just didn’t go anywhere…until now.
To make a long story short, I went on a long tech venture of building a new computer and getting a large drawing monitor for it. Obviously, I would never have been able to get the drawing tablet (it’s an Xp-Pen Artist Pro 24) without a graphics card which allows me to have more than one monitor. So it all fell into place. In getting all this new tech, I wasn’t doing it because of animation, I had plenty of more logical reasons to pull it all together, but it certainly was in the back of my mind the whole time. And I didn’t let myself down. A learning curve came next, but I really wasted no time in getting an animation done—finally!
I worked really hard on it and I’ve learned a lot from this venture, the #1 thing being that I love doing animation and want to do some more. I think this will be a hobby that sticks, something I’m doing in the background a lot of the time. This time it was logical to make a book trailer for “A Basket of Devils” because I was gearing up to launch that book. Next, I’d like to do something for Sufferborn (duh! lol), and in between I might do meme-type things for fun.
So without further ado, here’s the book trailer! Check it out! It’s only a minute long!
And you can get “A Basket of Devils” HERE!!!
