this one is a little different then the previous update blogs, because i am taking a break from phiftysixty! mostly to figure out what i even want to do with it, the story i want to tell is getting a little too ambitious for my own two hands so i decided on taking a little detour for a while,

for the next month or two i am going to be working on a little side project, an animated adaptation of the 2012 illumination the lorax cut song "Biggering" (aka the original how bad can i be)

i have only seen animatics of the song but never a full animation, so i am taking up the task to do it myself

going to try and make it mostly faithful to the original book/animated short but with some elements from the movie that i like, if you're interested in listening to the song i recommend looking it up it's like actually probably like top 10 animated villain songs of all time

until now every animation i posted here i made in a single afternoon on a whim, with not much care for worldbuidling or actually telling a story, but with phiftysixty i am putting my wiritng skills to the test to create an exciting fun little world, which is very hard! and takes time to think everything through, which is why i am taking a small break from phiftysixty to work on something less brain consuming

but just so i won't leave you all starving, here is a little teaser of arguably the most ambitious piece of animation i have ever put myself through
