Hello everyone! it’s your old pal Ready.
It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of my rambling posts but here we go. This is a general update for 2025. I’m going to talk a little bit about the last year and talk a little bit about what’s coming.
THANK YOU!
First off, thank you so much for this year. So many great things happened. We had some really excellent movies, in my opinion, and it was all due to you. Your support is allowing me to make better quality movies than ever before. I’m putting in more time into all the transformations. I’m putting in more time to the production, the technical aspects, this involves things like the coloring, the drawing, the backgrounds and the overall production. There are still things on the list, there always are! Things like improved sound, longer scenes and hiring more voice actors. Mostly, it comes down to me applying the money and time where it makes the most sense.
I’m the only one doing all this for the most part, we have voice actors but beyond that everything is me. When I say “me” I mean I’m doing all the drawing, the post production, the sounds, writing dialog, inserting dialog, doing all the social media posting and everything. Besides the movies I also do all the comics. I put them together and post them and do everything in between. I want to be clear, I love doing this!!! I have a blast doing transformation art and animation. I love you have allowed me to make it a full time career. I appreciate your support in any form whether you are paying me or not, I appreciate the fact that you check out my art.
You also know I do everything I can to make my work available for free . Most all of it goes free after six months to a year, sometime sooner. Ideally if we get enough members I would like to see it go free a lot sooner than that, we’re talking maybe a month, maybe a week. We’re not quite there yet though but we’re getting there.
Where you come in!
How are you doing though? You’re the one that matters in this equation since it’s your support making all this happen. I hope you’re enjoying what you’re seeing and I hope you know I really am putting my all into this. I make sure you get to see all the work I’m doing, whether it’s comics or movies or previews or one pagers. You get to see everything. I run as many polls as I can, I look for your comments, I read your comments and answer all the comments. I answer all your messages and overall I appreciate any communication from you through any of my many social channels.
New Movie!
So we have a new movie coming, I expect it to be done in the new year. It’s going to be set on a gigantic space station and we’re going to have a lot of transformation art and animation in it. We’re going to have a lot of Growth Lab Ladies we haven’t seen in a while. I’m having fun animating it. Comic wise, we’ve got more comics on the way, more characters will be introduced in the comics and ideally we’ll even have characters you’ve suggested or even designed. I have had character design contests in the past and they worked out really well. I would like to do one again! To be clear, this is you helping me design a new Growth Lab character.
Where your money goes!
Finally I know times might be rough for many of us. Things are costing more, people feel they’re getting less for what they pay, I know. My goal to you is to give you more than your money’s worth. I want you to feel every single cent is put into making you more art and animation. Over the last year your support has helped me get my computer updated, I’ve also been taken classes online for various things like coloring, anatomy, perspective and composition. Now a few of you may rightly argue you don’t see the results! haha! They’re there but I’ll be the first to admit I can be a slow learner at times. That doesn’t stop it though, I’m always working on myself and always working to make my art better. Look at where we were last year and look at where we are now. The movies are better and longer now! The comics are in color and we’ve got more on the way.
All right, I’m going to wrap this one up, feel free to comment below if you have any questions for your old pal. I’ll answer every single one. Also, remember we have a Discord where you can see previews and look at all the free comics and movies. I don’t know if you know this, but the Discord has all the public movies I have available for viewing. They’re all there people! It’s just that easy to go there and watch ’em.
Please take care as we near the end of the year, you will be hearing a lot from me and I hope all of you have a fantastic holiday season!
-Ready
