Happy New Year & rambling talk (Patreon)

Greetings all! I'm Enokimaru.

Glad to be here to start the New Year with you all!

This is just a chat, but I would like to talk to you all about what I have been up to and what my plans are for this year.

This time let me tell you all what I'm up to these days.

Just rambling, but it's the New Year so forgive me!

My own recent story is that in November my work hours violated the Labor Standards Act.

The reason I ask is that my physical examination revealed an arrhythmia, and after visiting the hospital, I was diagnosed with angina pectoris.

I informed the company I work for about this and they conducted an internal audit and found that my work hours were in violation.

My usual monthly average overtime is 70-90 hours, which I was told is unusual.

As a result, my workload was adjusted and the maximum amount of overtime I could work in a month was capped at 45 hours.

To be honest, I tried to ignore my disease when I discovered it because my work was more important than my health.

I was more afraid of failing at work than falling ill.

But my supervisor told me how wrong I was thinking.

In January, I took an additional week of paid vacation in addition to my New Year's holiday.

I will return to my Family home for the first time in three years and relax with my family.

I will be spending some time relaxing for a while now.

Of course I'll continue to make art and animation. 

I have lots of ideas for Pokemon animations that I want to make since I am into Pokemon these days, and I also want to make animations for other characters, original characters, etc.

I should spend my free time on my artwork, but in order to focus on the treatment of my disease I will not change the time I spend on my artwork.

I know it's been a long time coming, but thanks for reading this far!

And sorry the updates are always so random...

Your comments, support and cheers are really helping me a lot.

Also, my English is still being studied, so I apologize if my English is strange.

I hope you all can take it easy and don't get ill like I did, even if a lot of hard things happen in the future!

Oh yes, just one more thing, I would like to introduce a work in progress.

He is my agent!

Oh sorry, I know you are still getting ready!

I am currently working on his character sheet.

He'll be my agent on Twitter, Patreon, etc. as well!

My goal is to create a game, and he is a resident of the world of that game.

Actually, I'm making the game a little bit at a time, although really slowly.

There are two main characters in this game

I don't think I'll be able to get it finished to a demo by the end of this year, but hopefully one day I'll be able to show you all!

At the very least, I will focus on my animation projects for now.

I'm changing the topic, actually I haven't completed Pokémon SV yet, so I would like to meet many different Pokémon during this vacation.

At the moment I really love Floragato. I will definitely make an animation of this character someday.

Happy New Year, everyone!
