This year really flew, Im not really sure why exactly. I was severerly depresssed for like the first 6 months of it so im sure thats most of it but thats gay and im feeling pretty good now. Lots of nice steps Ive gone through to make living better for myself and constantly attempting to improve my situation and myself. To be honest I need to chill as I stress myself out the most with this endless chase. Im not gonna mention this type of stuff really here but know im doing pretty dang good right now. But lets start on some big notes.
MOVING AGAIN
I moved out from my old fart slums fuck aids and crack cocaine riddled appartment complex. I now live at 123 GOOD apartments with cool Duplexs and normal neighbors that arent throwing up in the elevators. This place fucks and its awesome I love my new home while still being a good cheap price. I mean check my cool ass desk setup. Bad ass. I now live with my gay wife as well instead of being all alone and its very nice. A welcome change of pace for both of us.
TAKING HEROIN
about 6 months ago now I started taking the covveted HRT and started my physical transition into the GMO woman of my dreams. While socially ive been transitioned for almost 3 years at this point, maybe not as a trans woman but at least as a very fem person so nothing really changed in that aspect lol. With this final step, instead of feeling like im coping all the time I just feel more like myself and has made me feel alot better. the HRT hasnt done too much physically to me in just 6 months but the change in hormones has made me and my emotions come back from years of supression and weirdly just an imbalance. Im no longer just anger and fear. now I have the full range again. Thank god. Last recap I mentioned how much I love fashion and this new house also has an awesome walkin closset that I love, heres a gay ass closset Halloween selfie.
STICKERS
I did a sticker sale in May and it was a success! I think I sold a total of 300ish stickers total and exactly 100 orders. It was awesome and very cool to see some folks loving the stickers. I ran into a couple very small hiccups but it all went well! It took a while to actually send them out as each one came with a uniuqe drawing from me. It was hard work but it was very fun. It wasnt lucrative really but I did make a net positive in cash so theres no reason I shouldnt do it again in the future.
THE TRUCK
My beloved "spares" truck is now dead and gone forever. This is it stuck in the middle of the street waiting to be towed lol. I sold it right before I moved. And while my new car is way objectlivy better in almost everything. I wont lie that I miss my cool lil truck. I did sell him to some mechanics so hopefully they refurbish him back to health and more.
PROJECTS OF 2024
I thought I slacked alot in in but ln restrospect I weirdly did really good! Also just more than 2023. Even with the sad arc I went on it actually looks really good! Especially in the music area. While my songs havent really banged anywhere, I know I can make some real decent stuff and im very proud of what im capable with now. UncannyLandings tho extreemly rough, im very proud that I was able to make something like that at all. Even though the mixing is wack and the singing is OKAY. Im beyond impressed I was able to compose a song like Floor and You or Romantic Oddesey at all. And now ive done a couple songs now for video games and some of my other animations like Root Rug which im so happy people really liked that one.
Earthbound Tribute is fucking everywhere and is unironically has landed me some work in the near future which is rad. I think Im gonna focus more cartoons on that rough style as I find it both pleasing and funny looking, whilst also taking alot less unneeded work out of my hands. I still want to make polished animations but ill leave it for animations like Root Rug and music videos in the future and not dumb shit cartoons I love. House MD cartoon is coming next. and after that, a music video and maybe a game? We will see.
Illustrations side I very much love what ive changed in my art, mixing more line weights and gaining the abilty to use lighter colors and diffrent values more and more. Even tried some painting stuff both digital and physical. You see the physical ones soon hopefully. And a final note on NSFW. Early 2023 I think I tried doing gooner type nsfw as I really needed the money at the time. and whilst I did make good money I HATED doing it and wish I never did and resulting in me realizing im extremely ACE and hate gooners even more than I thought. Im sure youve noticed though I really like nudity figures and drawings and been drawing that type of thing alot more. I think its very pretty stuff even if it is silly dumb ugly cartoon characters and I hope yall enjoy that type of thing. #nevergoon
I also made a playist of all my fave drawings, it mixes all my drawings from other years too but I think its neat.
But ill put a couple from ealier this year I think bang.
With all the skills I have now I feel like I can make kinda whatever I want now besides some more complex videogames. I also wanna learn more Godot in the future, currently I can make something akinned to Timmy Christmas and walk and talk games. But hopefully I can eventually get to my nut buster games with the Merchant characters eventually.
PLANS?? I guess
Small recap on what I want to do with my characters and ill keep it short freom sounding like an autistic ideas guy. Im gonna downsize my cast and make the few good ones more dense. Sydney and Emma are cool characters I think but im not gonna give them proper spotlight like I wanted to before. Same with Khalil and Brice. Spares will now be about just Stag, Rrunka, Kafa and Root. Root herself will be more focused on solo adventures. Everyone else and thing will just be world building citizens I guess lol. Not gone persay. Not sure when I get back to making a mainline real animation of them but when I do its GONNA HAVE A FUCKING AWESOME FIGHT SCENE.
My sona Pluma is just that, a self insert and youll probably only see her in the context of music videos or direct messages from me.
Merchants / The Tungsten Threads like I said eariler are made for video games in mind. I might do some short music video stuff with them but their meat is gonna be in game stuff if I can ever get to that.
Root and the Rats / RATR is just Root again but I want that to be its own lil sub section of SPARES of just Root and her elderitch Rat encounters. Specifially I also have a game in mind for that in the same vain like a FNAF game. One day.
Music wise, I dont think ill do an album ever again for a long ass time at least. Singles are the way baby. But ill probably help out with more game OSTs like BUGBALL and SCUFFLE FUCKS . Also made a playlist for my fave lyric songs here.
Thanks for reading, sorry if this was a shit show.I did not proofread or speelcheck this. Its not as nice as my last recap but just as important. Have a good year.
