Nexus’ people are a curious bunch. Some are just trying to live a stable life; others find that stability by taking it from others. It is the consequence of a society that values personal success over public welfare. #LOCUS #indieanimation #comingsoon #originalcharacterart

I FINALLY finished all the essential storyboards for my film. 🥴 Next is to build the 3D environments (which I prepped for with sketchmaps). Those who wish to see the boards in detail can do so via my Ko-Fi. 🙏✨ ko-fi.com/spyralatelier

The official teaser of "LOCUS: No Matter How Small" is up. 🌱 Although I’m not naming dates, I hope to have this film completed as early as December of this year, if not early next year. 🌤 S #LOCUS #indieanimation #animation

Quick heads-up for those who’re still thinking of pledging to my Patreon! I'm contemplating a switch to Ko-fi instead, as some of its features are more aligned with my preferred earning approach (instead of relying primarily on subscriptions). It also looks cuter. 😁

Now, I’m still on the fence about this, but I was thinking Roe would have two different suits in the film’s plot. One would be his iconic suit; the other is this “Gimbal ProK XS v1.06.0082” designed mainly for construction, but also has domestic use. #indieanimation #LOCUS

Hi guys! No, I’m not dead. :D I’m working on my project, but its progress is only being shown to my voice cast and backers (due to the sensitive nature of the material). That said, if anyone else outside these groups likes to keep close tabs on it too, well… #comingsoon

At last, Enya’s beanies came in, thus completing the shirt-beanie set… and all physical rewards. 🥳 It’s on to size / weight measurement, packaging and shipping and then we’ll be officially done with this segment. 🤝✨ #LOCUS #NMHS

The T-Shirts and Post-It Notes are here. 🥳 All that remains are the beanies (which does take a bit of time for the manufacturers to produce and ship), but otherwise, we’re ready to bundle. 📦 #LOCUS #NMHS #Kickstarter
