This is my second to last content update! Up next, TTF Animation Specific Props!

I am proud to present my next update, this time featuring the completed Carousel Boutique set. Like my previous update I'll show you what's new, what you've seen before (so you can get a view of the entire package) and then a checklist for what remains.

Two Work Updates Left:
1. TTF Animation Specific
2. Pre-Release Outline

Final Release w/ Video (aka FINALLY)

Previous Completion Updates


Ponyville Environments 
Work Update - (4/9/15)Hello again, time for a quick update on things.
Last time I gave you an update on where I was at with the building models for my Ponyville Environment Props package. At that time I had completed the textures and now I have completed the ground they are sitting on.
Although I'm rushing through these for the sake of getting them done already (taking ages with them..) it's my end goal to have them set up in a way that allows people to build their own scenes that aren't dependent on some single arrangement. My original plan was to just make some simple models of the ground for various scene's in Nutrafin's animation. Not satisfied with that idea, I'm trying something else.
You start with a large plane model I have provided called "Ground Canvas". This just acts a sold color and flat base for everything you are to later plop down. You can either use the square or rounded one.

Work Update - (5/18/15)Yo! So you guys know I'm still hard at work.. I have another update. :)
As of right now the only work I have left is a handful of animation specific things that will be added onto my already organized release packs I have set up. I plan on giving you guys a nice break down of what to expect sometime before the release. This month has been.. well.. something. I've got a lot going on right now, but I'm working hard with the intent of having all model work done sometime next week. Over the next two weeks I'll be wrapping up all the models and creating the imagery for the presentation of the formal release. :D
Edit: I was crazy to think I'd have everything done that quickly with finals creeping around the corner.. 
[Where I'm at]
As of the moment I have 5 updates to make, one for each package/workshop submission. So you know exactly what I have to do, I'll just go ahead and list what work remains towards my side of the project. Last night I finished and

Part 2

Sweet Apple Acres
  Sweet Apple Acres [COMPLETE] and Graduation!Long time, no update..!
Hey there! Its been a bit since I posted anything (surprise surprise). Work was slow up until now because I recieved a large influx of school work and then had final exams. I had to shift most my attention to that and put a lot of my other stuff on hold. With that being said though, school is OVER! I'm done!

Last Wednesday (6/17/15), I graduated high school! No longer will I have to juggle my classes/homework and my art work. I'm going to be busy trying to become independent in the coming months. My first priority now that I'm no longer busy is getting all my MLP models actually finished and released! Hopefully I'll soon be breaking free from this homeless situation I've had to tolerate for far too long. :)
Though busy with school, I did however make some progress.
Now, enough talk.. more progress pictures!
Sweet Apple Acres Bundle [Completed]
Over the course of May and up until now, I have worked on the final bul


Fluttershy's Cottage
  Work Update - (6/29/15) - Fluttershy's CottageAs of a couple days ago I am now 100% done with the Fluttershy's Cottage portion of my work! Here's a quick look at the new props I've added to the package.
Now that I can say the Fluttershy's Cottage is fully complete I'll give you all a brief preview of all the content you'll be getting on release. Let me know what you think of it all, with each update I grow closer to being able to release it all. That's definitely motivating me to work hard at getting all this done as fast as I can. :)
Next update will showcase all the completed Carousel Boutique content! I'm already almost done with all that, so expect that very soon. After that, one more update for animation specific models (only a small handful) and then... I'll be creating the release stuff and get everything ready to go for when the video is put out. Me and Nutrafin have been working very hard these past few days to get all the compiled models into the animation and looking nice. The teasing ends soon.. :)
