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!
ko-fi.com/jolumaya
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 ❤️

Thank you for all the hard work you’ve given to make this project this reality! I really enjoy your animation style, and I think the story/world/scenario you created for Run from Royalty is very well designed. Easy to understand and follow, but very deep and thought-provoking as well. (Also, dragons are awesome. :) ) - If possible, I would love to be involved with future projects someday. I’ve been animating in Blender for over a decade, and have experience animating a wide variety of creatures inside it. Working on a project like this would be an honor.

Take your time. As a learning animator I know the stess and tiredness from working on a project. Enjoy yourself and recharge! And I would love to see more characters in Lumaya!

You can take as much time as you need. After all you worked super hard and I think that everyone needs a break. The new short was brilliantly awesome and I hope that we see more new characters when you decide to work on Lumaya

I intended to write a nice message here, offering my help but it somehow got bugged away and I forgot how I formulated it... Well, just know that even though I may not be the best in character animation, I'll alwas be happy to help bring this awesome story to life! In case something comes to mind, you know where you can reach me :)
