My 2nd animation meme! Wanted to go a darker route with this one without having to go over the top animation-wise. (also i promise not every meme is gonna be gold i have other characters planned! Oriel's name just means gold is all lmao)
Animation meme planning, progress, and early access will be available from now on on my patreon! Fixed up stuff on there, so now there should be less confusion on tier rewards because there's only 3!
Please consider supporting me as the money would go firstly towards paying for my software subscriptions and then to my portfolios for work. If you can't afford to be a patron, please share this video with friends!

I've been mostly focusing on making it through these last few months as my summertime sadness (but legit) has been kicking in, on top of some really crummy things going on IRL. As I post this, I'm just getting over a cold that knocked me on my ass for a whole week.
But in terms of animation/art, I've made good progress in making my webcomic a reality! I'm about 1/2 done with sketching chapter 1, and once the first 3 are fully finished, I'll be posting them online. The first arc (book? books plural?) is 24 chapters and I'm really excited to make it.
If you watched my Happy Halloween meme then you've seen this character, Cinnamon, and the other characters that appear in the comic. For more info on them and the comic, check out my links below. I post pages in progress on my patreon fairly frequently, as well as the full script for the higher tier.
So if you wanna read the comic before anyone else, head over to my patreon! I'll also be posting in-progress stuff on animation memes as I make them. Consider this a... test for the Reverie Meme I'll be making with my character Oriel.

I respect the decision to cancel the project and applaud the host for doing so given the circumstances surrounding it. That said, I was about 1/2 through another scene at the time of the cancellation, but it's not worth sharing in my personal opinion.
In unrelated news: I'm almost done with the rough draft of my original comic's outline and will be hosting a review/critique reading session soon--And I am SO excited about it!! Once that wraps up, I'll be starting the illustration phase of the comic and things will actually start taking shape.
Once that (and my move) is over, I'll be working on another animation meme, like I said in my last video. I'm just uploading this now since I had it ready to go. See y'all soon!
Websites www.chloemcdaniel-animation.comhey guys || mini updateChloeCorvid2022-01-13 | hey guys. just a little update since i've been MIA for a bit longer than i thought i'd be... and will be still for a bit longer. sorry for how long this absence has been. but once i'm in my new place (soon!) i'll not only have a better set-up, my mental health should improve.
aside from that, writing my comic "Those Sweet Satyrs" is going... really well! once it's proofread and i revise a bit, i'll be moving on to illustrating it!
i'm gonna try not to force Cryptid Kids out like i have been because nothing is getting done on it because of that. it's now just going to be a "it's done when it's done" kind of short film. don't want to ruin the magic of working on it.
otherwise, i'm planning to make another animation meme by late march so, i'll see y'all soon...ish.
I was somehow able to throw this together on time despite having so little free time--so that's a win! This meme is a little different than others as this one features characters from a comic I'm developing/writing, "Those Sweet Satyrs." It's a fantasy adventure meets slice of life story feat. the characters in this video! I have large-ish plans for it, but as of right now, I'm focusing in on writing/making the first book. Feel free to ask questions below in the comments or find more info on my website/my instagram!

So I'm finally moved into my new place and have been adjusting to my new job pretty well! The apartment has some... growing pains... but we're figuring it out. OH IT'S ALSO MY BIRTHDAY TODAY... so there's that. lmao. The collab animation meme I'm doing with my friend is on a short hiatus since stuff came up in both our lives outside of animation, so hopefully we can get back to that soon! To compensate for both that and my absence, here's a meme I made in the last 24 hours.

-they post the new prompt on Saturdays at 12pm EST -5 mins to plan the animation/designs/what you wanna do -1 hour to animate, not a second more -done!
They're really fun and scratch that itch of animating at least once a week, if only for an hour!! I highly recommend since you're just supposed to make SOMETHING, not something fully finished. ___ HOW TO SUPPORT http://patreon.com/chloecorvid http://ko-fi.com/chloecorvid
Since starting my job I've been more focused on relaxing and adjusting to it (despite it being a really nice job that doesn't stress me out too much) AND being in the public again after a year. I had full intentions of streaming more progress on this meme but schedule conflicts and motivational conflicts just... didn't let me. aw well--at least it's done!
The NEXT meme will be a collab with a buddy of mine because we both wanna do a nice fun simple one compared to what we normally make! A nice break and just a fun collaboration project. So stay tuned for that when it comes out!!
Meme and Audio credits are in the video, but here are the links for what was used while making this meme;
TBH... Had a lot of trouble trying to get approval for the original story, and so this is not only different than my original pitch, it's a quite a bit more rough in terms of story than I would normally allow. Trying to just get the 'okay' took almost half the semester due to storybeat requirements (totally at odds with how I normally write characters, settings, etc.) so I only got to clean up like 4 shots, hence the weird greyscale shots popping in sometimes LOL
Anyway, this is as far as this short is gonna go due to my frustrations I had with it during production. It's about 2 years old now anyway, might as well let it finally see the light of day!!
I'm still working on "Cryptid Kids" and some animation memes--don't worry. Just didn't wanna leave y'all with nothing after an April Fools meme, so I figured I'd post this.

Technical Stuff: My lav mic got all clicky for some reason while trying to record this, so this is recording with the apple headphones microphone. Apologies if it clips at points--i cleaned it as best i could with what i have.
I also decided to test out Clip Studio's new screen recording ability and uh... I'll probably stick with streamlabs. since I work fairly quickly and CSP made about 3 hours of work only 2 minutes long (stretched it out in AE, which is why it's kinda slow and jittery. sorry)

Websites www.chloemcdaniel-animation.comwhats wrong? || ANIMATION MEME [FLASHING LIGHTS]ChloeCorvid2021-01-15 | WARNING: Blood and Flashing Lights (thanks for 400+ subs!) This meme was really fun and is also Tavora's backstory. Here's the story in word form for those curious;
"Tavora was the most skilled she-coyote hunter in her pack, and this was a fact she took pride in. She enjoyed the hunt more than her packmates. She reveled in crushing her prey in her powerful jaws and feeling the rushing wind in her fur. But she was careless. She hunted not for survival, but for fun. For sport. Her pack scolded her for this, as overhunting would mean they would surely starve. But Tavora thought they were being cowardly, weak even--scared that they would never be able to compete with her. Sensing the tension, she broke from the pack one day to go hunt on her own. Unfortunate for her that she would unknowingly anger the God of the Rabbits, SPIDEREYE... Now Tavora walks alone, unable to hide amongst the brush of her old hunting grounds, and on lengthened legs that spring away at the sight of another predator. She now must forever have the anxiety of her prey as her curse..."
