grOw/cinema, Ep.IV over 50% completed!

I just realized that I didn't make an update last Friday, as I usually do.  I guess I was so wrapped up in working on grOw/cinema, trying to compete the sequence I was working on at the time, that I forgot to post a preview.

Work continued at a more brisk pace this past week. The "real life" projects that came in are either completed or waiting for client input. So, in the meanwhile, I can put my full energy on grOw/cinema.

This week, I was able to complete up to frame 44, and got a great jump on the next 3 pages (which are an "animated growth sequence", and thus, are worked on simultaneously). With 44 pages of 82 planned frames done, that is exactly 53% of this Episode squared away!  We're over the hump now, and racing towards the finish line.

grOw/cinema, Ep. IV — 25% completed

The latest Episode of grOw/cinema is now one-fourth completed. While not finishing as many frames as I had wanted this week (due to "real life work" talking up so much time this week), I was still able to get 7 and a half frames done this week. These frames also feature a lot of overlapping characters and many faces in each frame, all of which also talk more time per frame.  I hope to get back to a good 15 frames per week rate soon.

grOw/cinema progress and SizeCon

Well, last week was SizeCon 2017 and it was a lot of fun!  Spent the 2 days speaking to fans, new visitors, and other producers of content. Also attended a few panels and was a panelist for a few of them as well (Inflation & Expansion Panel as well as the Relationships Panel along with my wife, Juleikat).  

The week leading up to SizeCon was busy preparing for the event, as well as working on some "real life" work. A few panels of the next grOw/cinema were also completed.

This week, while continuing to work on grOw/cinema, Episode IV, I was also inundated with more "real life" work. This slowed work on the latest Episode, unfortunately. However, I did my best to continue on, and completed frame 13 today (out of about 80 or so).

A number of "real life" projects may continue to slow grOw/cinema progress over the next few weeks, as they are a bit large. So, unfortunately, time between releases will not be as quick as the last few. However, work WILL continue!

Artwork for grOw/cinema, Ep. IV begins!

The first frame of Episode IV of grOw/cinema has been completed! It took a while to get to this point (more on this below), but the trip to the next release has begun! This new chapter will be about the same extra-long length as the others and will feature BE (huge, Wow), Ass expansion (Very huge), Penis expansion (Very huge!), pussy expansion (huge!), lactation, nipple expansion, excessive cum, MILF,  strong sexual situations, as well as the usual reality and personality alterations. I am still making edits and some changes to the script as I go, but have started and will continue to work on the art as I do.

So what has happened since the last release? I know there were only 2 weeks between the release of Episode II and the first preview of Episode III. This time around, it's been about 5 weeks. Many things were going on during that time frame, which prevented me from beginning the latest Episode.

Initially, I used the days after the release to get some "real life" work projects done that I had temporarily put off so that I could get Episode III out the door as soon as possible.  Then, I took at least a week to work on the new BustArtist.com website. I made a huge dent in this undertaking, but still have a lot more to go. I didn't realize I had so many issues, each needing its own page. Eventually, this WordPress conversion will happen, and mobile users will be much happier.

Then, I took a few days to create brand new artwork which I will make available at my SizeCon table.  Yes, the first-ever, printed, BA merch has been created!  Six brand-new pieces of artwork, covering various fetishes, will be at my table in 8.5"x11", full-color, glossy postcards. The prints came out wonderful (just got them delivered today!) and are of a high-quality. Some of these 6 prints also feature artwork in genres that I've never done before — blueberry, shrinking woman, and shrinking man (OK, this maybe very quickly in my old pencil comic). Two more feature GTS (one mega!). The last one is a BE-Ass expansion combo, which will be a poster at the Con. You may have seen it, if you've followed updates from SizeCon or my DeviantArt gallery. The others won't be revealed until SizeCon.

Also during this time between issues, my wife ("Juliekat") and I took about a week off from work. A much needed mini-vacation, we spent it with visiting family, and took a long weekend away during that time.

Juliekat also threw me a birthday party during that week, to celebrate my... I can't believe I am saying this... 50th birthday.  Yikes!  I was a sprite 29-year-old when I was introduced to the "internet BE community" (which was quite small and scattered back then) back in 1996.  21 years later, I am still contributing and enjoying it immensely. I still consider myself a sprite 50-year-old, though a little softer in the middle, and a little grayer (OK, a lot) on top.

The last week was filled with another "real life" project, as well as completing the script to Episode IV which I started about 3 weeks ago. I also sketched out the rough thumbnails for each panel. With those 2 done, I was able to draw and color the first full panel of Episode IV. 

The countdown to the next release has begun!

grOw/cinema, Episode III completed. Release soon...

Late last night, I just finished the last frame and "cover poster" for Episode III of grOw/cinema. At 81 frames, this episode will feature BE (huge), lactation, Ass expansion (huge), MILF, some PE, bulging bra, stretching and too-small clothing, button popping, reality and personality change, and strong sexual situations.

Right now, I am working on corrections (as my wife completed her first round of proofreading last night, and will be doing the second round tonight). Too many typos — they're easy to miss when you've written, typeset, and reread it so often that you "see" things that aren't there. (For example, I read "pantyhsoe" so many times, I never saw the typo.) I am also fixing a few "art errors" (such as a necklace that shows in some frames, and disappears in a few others).

Then, it is on to creating the final PDF, working on the website graphics, and programming the website and store. (Note: I haven't yet completed the new website I mentioned in some previous posts — sorry to those mobile visitors.) 

Don't look for a release today (Thursday). However, barring a huge disruption, I should be able to release this Episode tomorrow (Fri., Jun 16), just 63 days since the last release (most releases in 2015 and 2016 were between 91 and 127 days).

grOw/cinema, Episode III: only 5 frames to go!

Made some great progress this week — even while working on "real life work" projects as well — and completed 11 more frames this week! That brings us very close the end, with only 5 frames more to go (plus the "cover poster")!  The frames I worked on this week each took some extra time as compared to most others. Each one had a lot of "character overlapping" in each frame, as well as working on an "animated sequence" (which works great in this format when you "turn the page").

Hang in there!  We are getting very close!
