Hey everyone, thanks so much for watching Run From Royalty Adventures! It makes me glad to see so many people loving Rell and Suith and wanting to see them go on more adventures, and I'm happy to provide a continuation, even if it was a lot shorter than the original episode!
Now! As much as I'd like to make more stories about Rell and Suith, I think I'll need to give them a good, long rest first... I am very burnt out, and still recovering from the original short film.
I also have other characters in the world of Lumaya that I want to make stories about as well, so I'll let you know when that will come about. But you haven't seen the last of Rell and Suith, I assure you :)
Now ideally, I would love to have more people help me out on make more animated shorts, including more animators and people to bounce ideas off of. Animated storytelling is tons of hard work. Those few minutes in the newest episode took 6 months to make.
With the 2D dream sequence by Blocks_of_Fire, This new episode was the first time I've directed someone else to animate a whole scene, and it was a lot of fun and a great learning experience - I'd certainly love to involve more people in these projects! If you have experience with Blender and 3D animation, please let me know if you're interested! The more people involved, the better the shorts will be, and the faster they can come out :)
Of course, in order to get more animators and other creators involved, this is where money is concerned. Every little bit helps, so if you'd like to support the Lumaya Legends series, feel free to donate to my Ko-fi page!

Your contributions have helped me purchase some new equipment to make RFRA Encore with! If there's enough support, maybe a much bigger project can be made in the future? That is the dream...
For now though, I am going to relax and clear my head a bit. On Friday I will be going on a holiday in Europe for 3 weeks, so I will be out of touch during then until I get back.
Thank you so much for watching my work - it means the world to me that there are lots of people enjoying my stories and loving the characters - from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your kind words and enjoying my work β€οΈ

Fanart of Kenneth Oppel's 'Silverwing' I did a few years back, to celebrate the book's 25th anniversary π¦π¦
An end-goal of mine is to create an animated feature-length adaptation of it :)

Who's your favorite character in Run From Royalty?

I've now finished 40 seconds of my next main animated project π
The length of this short will be about 5 mins this time. Much shorter than Run From Royalty.
But that means I can spend more time on making the animation look even better!
It'll be a while, but I hope you're looking forward to what I make next βΊοΈ

I've decided to open a Ko-fi page! - ko-fi.com/jolumaya
If you love what I make, feel free to throw me a tip! It might even help me a little with ongoing projects, if there's enough support!
And just so you know, I am working on another animated project as I write this! (But I won't say what it is yet π)
Thanks!!
