So... yeah... what now, right? OK, Here's my plan: I won't be able to start full-force on the Lake Beast animation until the money clears - which may take a couple weeks or so I think. So until that time I may pick away at the storyboards a bit here and there, but mostly I will be trying to earn money with the usual freelance gigs to fill in this current gap.

(I feel like I should mention that I have recently entered a motion comic contest over at Aniboom, and that if I am a finalist for that I will be splitting my time between Lake Beast and the comic for a while. You can see my entry here if you want.)

Once I get started on Lake Beast I will all but stop my usual freelancing work and focus as much as I can on it. It will likely take about 4 months to finish. I know, that seems like a long time, but I will be updating my progress a lot as I go so you wont be left completely in the dark. It may take more time than that or less, its really hard to know, but thats my best estimate. There are always lulls and low-points in these kinds of projects, but ultimately its satisfying and I hope its a fun ride for everyone.

I hope that helps you sort out your expectations. Let me know if you have any questions!
