hi all,

I'm gonna try something really experimental(and really stupid), it's something I've wanted to try for a while. I just wanna try logging and reflecting on what I've been doing or how I've been every so often. I like to write about stuff like this, so I wanna give it a try. And what better place to try it than Newgrounds.com. There probably is a better place but oh well...

October Highlights!

• School: I've been doing a buttload of schoolwork, which is why you rarely see stuff from me nowadays. I don't really have time to do anything else and when I do I usually just use it to do random stuff, like go out. I think college has improved my mental health a lot, I feel like I'm having fun even while doing work. My art's improved a lot from the classes I've taken. Most recently, I tried doing my first ever game jam! But our team dropped out at the last minute because we couldn't finish it in time... Though we really liked what we had so far so we might continue working on it during winter break and upload it to NG! Here's a tiny sneak peek of what we had:

It's a game featuring a character me and my friend came up with, Gummy the Alien. He was originally featured in a HTML site homework assignment we had for our game dev class. We wanted to do a point and click adventure sort of thing but we just became too burnt out by the last day. Maybe one day you'll all see it come to fruition. Maybe.

• I've also been learning how to 3D model. It's something I've wanted to try but I've always been too scared, until I was forced to use Maya in my Digital Design Aesthetics class. And let me tell you: I HATE MAYA!!!!! IT SUCKS!!!!! TREMENDOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! In fact, Maya pissed me off SO BAD that I started learning Blender out of pure spite, because I did actually want to enjoy 3D modeling but Maya just prevented me from doing so with how stupid it is. I've been enjoying it a lot! I've mostly just been doing low poly stuff since it's really easy, but hopefully I can figure out how to do some more complex stuff.

• Oh yeah, I binged the entirety of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. All 12 seasons. And the two movies. I really liked it! It's easily cemented itself as one of my favorite shows. For a long time, it was a show I knew about but I just never got around to watching it. Mostly because when I still had cable I was really little and my parents would not let me stay up past like, 10 pm at best and ATHF always aired at like midnight. Whenever I watched adult swim it was mostly me catching clips of King of the Hill or me binging Rick and Morty when I was still a huge fan of it. But Aqua Teen always intrigued me, even as a kid. I remember thinking from the title that it was some sort of action show that took place underwater, and then when I actually saw it from the TV guide I was confused as hell. It still keeps me up to this day. Where did the "Aqua" in the name come from? They're not aquatic. I guess I'll never know. Unless one of you actually happens to know why, and in that case please do tell me because I even looked on wikipedia to try and figure it out but they only answered the "Teen Hunger Force" part of the name.

Now I'm currently watching The Boondocks and I'll probably try watching Moral Orel and Venture Bros. over winter break. I'm on that adult swim kick.

• Halloween was fun. I begged my mom to get me the 50 dollar Peashooter costume from Amazon and I had a blast. A lot of people asked to take pictures of me and everything. The head was funny but I could like, barely see anything through the mesh on the mouth. Haha.

• One last thing, I decided to take an extended break from posting on my main account on Twitter for the sake of my mental health + to try and give myself more focus on what's more important. I always wanted to take some sort of hiatus, but seeing recent changes causing a mass exodus from the site finally gave me an excuse to actually do it. I do still post on my side account where I post stupid doodles though(@/childeater442). But most of my actual art will just be exclusively posted here for now, because I'm too much of a lazy bastard to make a bluesky. When they drop video support though I'll probably do it. lmfaooo

But that's it for this month. Hopefully I do these frequent enough to make you all believe I'm not dead.

Until Next Time, See Ya
