[Feed the Machine] || Secret Life Animatic

Like and Subscribe and all that if you enjoyed :D

This animatic covers the first 6 sessions of Secret Life (the series was too long to fit into one animatic)

Gosh golly that was a journey wasn't it? This was once again such a massive 250+ hour project! Which hadn't originally been the plan but here we are! I'm super happy I can finally share this with you guys! I hope you enjoy!!

Thank you all so much for the support, without you guys I wouldn't have ever made a second Life Series animatic, let alone a fifth!!

If you're reading this before the premiere then make sure you head on over to   / misskatyrow   for the animatic afterparty we always do after an animatic has premiered :)
Or if you're here after the premiere, you can still head on over to Twitch to check out the art and gaming we do there. A lot of animatic work is done on streams :D

Just a little info on future projects for those interested:

I had originally planned to make two shorter animatics, hence the cliffhanger. The second animatic is already planned out and half of the sketches have been done. However, this first animatic didn't end up being any less time intensive than any other projects and I finished it far later than I wanted to. With plans for a new Life Series on the horizon I'm still undecided if I commit to a part two Secret Life animatic, or wait to see if the new Life Series inspires me to make an animatic there. I don't want to perpetually be playing catchup.

On that note, I'll have to see if I'm inspired to make another animatic of the next Life Series. I wasn't as inspired in Secret Life as I've been for the other series and that made this project less enjoyable than the others so far. I still enjoyed it and am really happy with the end product, but we'll have to see what the future holds :D

I know a lot of you guys really enjoy and rewatch animatics and look forward to new ones whenever a new Life Series airs. I appreciate your support so much and I adore the community we've build here of the last almost three years! I wouldn't have continued making animatics after Who Are You Really if it hadn't been for the overwhelming love you guys have shown for my craft. I read every single one of your comments and appreciate every single one of you that takes the time out of your day to interact with a stranger's art on the internet.

But I also have to be honest and true to myself. If I spend hundreds of hours on projects that I'm not as passionate about, instead of investing my time in art I love and stories I truly want to tell, then that won't work for me in the long run.

Like I said, I might make a part two of Secret Life. I really like the song and the storyboard ideas. And I might continue to make Life Series animatics if the new series inspires me with it's stories. But I don't want to give false promises. Who knows what the future holds and what will inspire me to work on these massive projects. I can just hope you're interested enough in my art and storytelling that you'll stick along for the ride :D
