I'm still working on my usual. I think that realistically, it's going to be another notch in the old Newgrounds belt. Less so since it's definitely going to be less in time length. I do take pride in my work, and I hope it turns out great in the end. All this just makes me think about the folks that take all the time in the world to make their animations known and seriously, it's taken me 2 months just to be roughly almost halfway done. I seriously think that my first serious attempt at making a solid animation is going to take even more than 2 months. I'm a beginner, but man. There's some streamlining I could learn from.

Now made a 4 second animation! Also, I think even if I finish this, it's going to have to have a few alterations. Not sure if I should share them since it doesn't change the final product.

I got 3 seconds of animation done woo! Well, most of it. There's still foreground and probably background if I want to be fancy. Luckily, they don't have to be mobile, so that won't take long. Needless to say though, I'm not getting it done this month. I did learn a lot though through my mistakes, so hopefully the next number of segments will hopefully go by faster. But that said, I don't see it happening in a week. So I'm gunna have to accept it spilling into next month's project. I'm going to need a break after that though. My poor brain >_<

I'm not used to animating anything beyond a few seconds like small gif files, so my recent project is pretty different compared to that. It's mainly practice, and the rough sketches are pretty far along now (I probably went overboard on the layers lol.) Anyway, I can't wait to get to the cool stuff like lines and coloring. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know overall, I'd say I'm almost halfway done with this project, but it's such a big project, plus life being life, and my attention span is so short lol. That's why I think it'll take the rest of the month. Alright, that's basically about it, just wanted to share my thoughts.

I'm still working on my animation project. It took some doing, but I finally got the sketch part of a segment done. So it took me about a week to do. So I'm guessing I can get a lot done this month, but I'm not sure how long it'll be exactly, animating isn't what I usually make. I know there's no time frame here, but I like to gague my efficiency and let people know. I am feeling fairly excited to get this done though! It's going to be my biggest project yet. Thanks VinityAryimin among others for the nice comments that made me wanna do this :)

I dunno how to share unfinished stuff in a way that doesn't spam my main gallery, otherwise I wouldn't have a problem just showing it every so often. Let's just say I'm working on animation again because I like it! I like all forms of art tbh, I just prefer drawing the way I do cause that's my comfort area personally.

That said, uhh... I got the sketch portion mostly out of the way when it comes to the opening. And unlike my other animations, it's not a gif or slideshow, it's going to be a full video clip. Most likely won't be very long, it's both an introduction to an upcoming character along with practicing expressions and transitions, all in a fun and fairly unique way hopefully if this project turns out the way I imagine.

I pulled a muscle on both arms, and finally realized after a while I probably shouldn't be doing anything for a while with them. So, I've been taking it easy. They're feeling better, but I'll need to wait a little longer just to be sure. I'm feeling pretty confident I can get back to doing something starting next week though. I figured at first, I'd do another comic. But lately, I'm thinking of breaking the monotony this time around and make a little animation this week. I'm thinking I'm gunna draw an entrance for each character in my stories so far both for practice and illustration.

Alright, now that I got my last update out of the way. I'm excited to get back to the next Renegade Blue comic page, and all. But now, I'm thinking about trying something I haven't done in a while and draw something animated instead next month :D It's been a while since I did that. I'm thinking since it wasn't as big a deal as I thought with my last comic page, I don't mind sticking to monthly pages. And by that, I mean have a page done by the end of the month.

I'd love to jump right back in, but I might have to take a break for a bit because for whatever reason, I must have pulled a muscle or something, and badly too. Because for whatever reason, it's been a pain to even move my arm, and it's my drawing arm too which sucks, and it's been like that for a few days, pops kinda easily too, even though I have full range of motion to it. It uh... it sucks lol. That said, it feels ok when I'm not doing anything with it, so I think that's what's best for it right now. If it continues to the point of hindering me, I'll be sure to let folks know. But hopefully, it should feel better by next month tops. In the meantime, I'll get back in touch with everyone else, see what everyone's been up to with their art :) Can't wait to see what you got.

I kinda hesitate to say it because I'm never going to not draw and make comics and what not anyway, and I'm not super confident about it most of the time. But, my family suggested I should share my patreon anyway, and I feel I've been improving enough, I can at least throw this out there at least once. Don't feel you have to though. Right now, I'm not planning to do anything there I'm not already doing here. That said though, I was thinking about updating it anyway cause it could use some work. So, why not?

I'm also planning to eventually do more than just comics, but that's going to take some time and money, not to mention finding a schedule between my love of art and my life, you know how it is. Anyway, that's about it. Thanks for reading all this, and SUPER thanks for checking out my work one way or another :) I'll be sure to share my love toward Newgrounds as well.

Love all the work everyone does! Take care, and hope you all have a good one :)

After updating my profile pic, I just had to spend the extra time to fix that banner, it was bugging me for so long! To clarify, the web browser version, you could hardly see all of it lol. I can see though the mobile version, you can see the super imposed yellow borders, but it's fine cause it still works. I spent a long time on that cute little creature, it deserves to be better seen. Finally getting somewhere :) Feeling good. Now, I am going to go pass out cause it's really late. Have a good one!

Also, I didn't notice this before, maybe cause I'm tired, and my weird self sees stuff like this when I'm in that state, but I made my avatar's hair to kinda look like that creature on my banner lol (It's a cherry dragon, it shows up in my comics from time to time cause it's my favorite thing I ever created lol.) I didn't intend to do that. But whatever, I dig it now lol.
