I don't know how I did this, but by some miracle, I did it. I completed two pages of my comic within a month and I don't see signs of stopping (I'm currently working on part 4 of this story). So far this month feels... oddly slow? I've reccieved my proper tax documents and the weather's been warming up a bit, things feel like they're smoothing out, but it is never-ending...

Yesterday morning, I updated my toontown webcomic and I'm already halfway done with the next one. I basically tweaked the thumbnails for this new page I'm working on and in turn, it broke off into two pages. Looking at a piece of art you've done previously after a long period of time can give you an all perspective and ideas on what you could do instead. I had a handful of those thumbnails already done since 2024(earlier than that, maybe?)

I'm happy with how my comic is progressing, even if I end up updating every month (ocassionally taking months long breaks). It might be asking for a lot, but I wish I could get this stuff done faster but life gets in the way and considering what's been going on this past month (Minneapolis), I have no idea what will happen next... I hope people will come to their senses but that's asking for way too much. People have already proven to me how selfish and heartless they really are...

In other news, I've heard reccently about Adobe discontinuing Adobe Animate which is huge deal for many people I know (who have animated) and industry professionals alike. I can't say much about the program (I use Toonboom Harmony for animation), but I've heard it's easy to learn how to use and just getting rid of a tool or software can really fuck up workflow for many people. Some have suggested that Animate should just become open source since Adobe doesn't want to have anything to do with it anymore. I do think that's a good idea, since there's already Opentoonz which is readily used by hobbyists and professionals alike.

Addendum: It looks Adobe Animate is NOT being discontinued, but rather, they are no longer adding new features and will continue to be available to new and existing customers.

I've had this realization for a while now: that many people seem to want an excuse to bully others. Acceptable targets and all that. I've begun to not trust most people when it comes to that. I also noticed that people fall for the whole "There is a special sort of person is just inherently bad and must condemn themselves and others like them constantly or else they should get brutally punished. If you diagree with me on this, you're either just as bad or one of them. I'm very smart." mindset and it sucks.

Idk what else to add but I don't think this behavior helps anyone at all. I can't help but not listen to anyone who acts like that regardless of what point they're making. That may not be fair and all, but neither is that. I think people overall need to actively stop themselves from falling for that track of thought and/or call it out. I've been avoiding and stopping myself from falling for that for years now.

A few days ago, I properly introduced my father to the Aquabats. I brought my copy of Finally! to his car's CD player. I'm guessing he hadn't a clue what the Aquabats sounded like but I had a feeling he'd like it. He has a habit of complimenting my taste in music. This means that I managed to get both my parents into the Aquabats!

Happy new year! Its funny how time passes so fast. Everything moves on so quickly that you can easily get left behind. There doesn't seem to be time for slowing down & taking a breather. Oh well, might as well keep moving foward (because I have no other choice), here's to hoping I do more artwork than ever before. Animation too!
