To The New Year 2023 (Patreon)

Hey everyone, I know this is late, but I wanted to wish you all the best new year and hope you all had a wonderful past year. For all of those who didn't know, I caught COVID-19 again in December, so I didn't get as much work done as I would have liked that month. I recovered now and am ready to get back to work, I want this year to be different, a lot of projects to catch up on and complete.

On other news, The Beartober project (with sound) is finished, so you'll be hearing it real soon, it's perfect. I'll just have to update the credits and patron credits at the end of the movie, since I've lost and gained supporters since October. So if you want to be in the end credits, just keep supporting your foxy <3. Thanks to everyone who donated or became a supporter to help me fund the sound designer/s or actor/s for the Beartober project, I love you guys and I really appreciated the help <3.

Birthday is coming up on Friday the 13th, lol yay... knock on wood. Not sure if I'm going to do anything special on it, it seems the older I get, the less excited I am about my birthdays, but, least the attention is fun! Foxy's need attention, otherwise they shrivel up to become dust in the wind, that's the rules.

There are a lot of new things I want to improve with my animations, as well as using tricks to make my animations both look good while also making it easier for me to create content much faster. Sometimes I get the urge to fiddle with 3D modeling, though I wouldn't know how to animate, let alone rig any models I make, but I would use models only to assist in making my 2D animations a bit easier. Like, say, using models to get some tough angles right on certain characters/animals or poses. So if you for some reason see 3D models getting posted, that doesn't mean I'm turning into a 3D animator, It's more for conceptual purposes to get an all around view of a character, place or thing that I can then use for my 2D animations.... But I also just like scratching that 3D modeling itch I get now and then, to be honest, lol. This is only if I do create 3D models. I do have Zbrush and blender, but with all the work I gotta catch up on, I don't see myself getting too absorbed in that medium till all my work is done.

Hopefully my engines can run smoothly this whole year, just got to do everything I can to focus. Gotta diet, gotta stay active, I've been way too sedentary the past 3 years, I think it's why I struggle with TMJ and neck pain. I probably peeled off a couple of decades off my life since the pandemic started, now that I think of it... Urf, I better not think about it too much.

Anyway, Yip Yap Arf Bark! Is what foxes say now. This journal submission will probably come off a bit adhd-ish, so I'm sorry about that, I need to get better quality sleep.  

Anyways, I'll shut up now. \^w^/
