Evening folks,

I hope everyone's had a good christmas! In terms of animation updates, I don't have too much to report... I've been caught up with studying and I've been mostly training twice a day since september, I haven't had a lot of time to animate. The next term looks even busier & I've started preparing for my first amateur fight so I don't think I'll be able to animate too much for the 1st half of 2024.

With that being said, I'm still planning to work on my projects where I can spare the time & hopefully manage to get some videos out in this time.

In terms of current progress on the pokemon video:

--> Almost finished the storyboard for the new video

--> Already animated a few segments of said video

Future plans:

--> Planning on creating shorter kickboxing combination-based videos (like 'Headkick Combo')

--> Hajime No Ippo Recreations (E.g. Flicker Jab, Takamura VS Bear, The White Fang, Takamura VS Hawk/Eagle, etc)

--> Mario & Luigi videos (inspired by the M&L RPG games)

--> Sonic videos (fight scenes?)

--> Pokemon-related videos

--> An original kickboxing stop-motion inspired by Hajime No Ippo?

--> Experimental style videos (collab with a friend of mine)

Also, I've recently been getting more traction from both Newgrounds & Youtube, with more people viewing my animations and I've been getting some really useful feedback and very nice comments! I just wanted to say I'm really thankful for those who choose to watch my stuff & help further sharpen my animation skills with comments and feedback.

I also still can't believe my 'Pico, Nene & Darnel Vs The Uberkid' was frontpaged on Newgrounds, a massive thank you to TomFulp for putting it up there, I was really surprised to find it on there!

Ultimately, although my life is very hectic right now, I'm still going to animate where I can & hopefully I can release some higher quality videos sometime early 2024.

I wanna thank everyone for all their support and to you for reading :)

Here's to a solid 2024 for all of us!
