Work on grOw/cinema, Ep.XV has begun!

Episode XV is on its way, as I've completed the initial script of the latest chapter. It's been a while since the release of the last Episode to get to this point, but a lot was going on in the BA World.

Scrambling to finish the last issue before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, I now had to catch up on the work I had delayed in doing so — Patreon illustrations, "real life" work, day-to-day BA Studios red tape and paperwork (ah, the "joys" (not!) of the self-employed). Then came the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, a full 4-day weekend of family, followed by another family 4-day getaway the next weekend. However, a 5-day cold between these weekends had sucked out my strength and creativity when I could have been working.

Finally, back on track, I sat down to write the script. It was a hard one at first. While I knew the basic ideas that I wanted to happen, the "flow" wasn't coming so easy. I resorted to bullet points, hitting key scenes. I changed them. Reordered them. Scrapped half of them. Then refined them. That missing "something" suddenly started to appear, giving the story that cohesiveness it needed.

Next week, I will build out the new 3D background that most of this chapter will take place in. Then, I will be storyboarding the script (and refining the script as I do so). When this is done, it's on to the art!  (*Note: next week I will be away from my desk about one and a half days for some prior obligations.)

Get ready to hop on board the ride to the release of the newest Episode!

grOw/cinema, Episode XIV -- RELEASED!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

grOw/cinema, Ep.XIV completed! Release soon!

Episode XIV has finally been completed! I worked really hard this week to get this chapter wrapped up. I had really wanted to get a release today (Friday, Nov 15), but I just... couldn't... do it. I had to changes to make. During the review of the issue, I found too many text and art mistakes.  What is an "art mistake"? Oh, something like you draw a few frames of a shirt ripping and a bra popping open, and in the subsequent frames while you still show the torn, hanging shirt, the bra has suddenly "disappeared". So, back to the drawing board to add mutliple bras to various frames.

So, when will be the release?  At the latest, by early Monday., Nov 18th. At the earliest (if I feel up for it, as I still have some work to do), tomorrow., Sat. Nov 16th.  We'll see....

grOw/cinema, frame 64 completed!

I completed up frame 64 this week. It was a slow but steady pace. However, the frames that were done are great, and each took some extra delicate crafting and I am very pleased with the results.

I am also taking off today and possibly Monday in a rare, long weekend for me.

After completeing frame 65, I am also going to take a little time reworking the last 5-7 frames of the issue. This puts the release off a few days, but don't worry, it's coming soon! I had hoped to have a Friday, Nov 15th release, but that seems unlikely. But, if all goes well, I think a Tue-Wed., Nov 19-20 is a good bet. Hang in there!

grOw/cinema, Ep.XIV, frame 57 completed!

It's been a busy week: I had one half day devoted to "real life" stuff; created the monthly Color Commission for my Patreon page; decorated the outside our home for Halloween (we like to really play it up!); and completed 9 more frames of grOw/cinema as well as finsihed more than half of frame 58. About 12 and a half frames to go. I say "about" since I want to rework the last 5-6 frames of the script, which may result in a couple of extra frames (if needed).

And here are previews of the Color and Black-and-White Commissions from October: 

Color:
"A secretary leaning back in her office chair already with boobs big   enough to rest on her desk wondering if she is big enough for her boss   to be interested (as she is drinking yet another BE shake)."

Black-and-white:
" Firewoman's fire hose turns on her and sprays in her mouth, forcing her breasts to balloon to a massive size."

grOw/cinema, Ep.XIV frame 49 completed!

I completed 10 new frames this week on grOw/cinema, Ep. XIV, which is great progress considering I also created a black-and-white Commission as well as a detailed BE sketch for my Patron page (cropped preview shown here along with the grOw/cinema preview). And all this work required lots of camera angle set-up and play, detailed characters overlapping, and other fine points. Frame 49 also represents the 70% mark of the current script (which may be adjusted by a page or 2 in the coming weeks).

Getting closer!
