Banner art I did for it.

I wanted to write a post about Smoking Is Cool! but I realized that I have nothing to say. I tried to write currently, but my mind has very little going on. I think I'm actually just tired. Here's some advice for the kids following here, get good sleep!!!! Your parents or guardians are right about sleep. Unless they're saying you shouldn't sleep; they would be wrong then.

Apologies for the blue-balling. You'll get that write-up you didn't ask for eventually.

P.S. I'll be posting more nonsensical blog posts!

I really wanna finish as many cartoons in my lifetime as much as I can while also living a life. I think I might be done with trying to fool around with people that I barely even talked to online. I'm not quitting the internet or trolling yet btw. I might not be "offline" but I want to spend less time just fooling around. I want to actually take better care of myself and maybe influence someone else in my life to as well.

A bit more Personal

I've been keeping this mostly personal but a family member of mine was passing away (rest in peace) and it's been making me really think about my priorities. I've just been acting more on impulse and yelling at people sometimes since almost everything online has been bugging me recently, because most of what I see is just the same and annoying behaviors that a lot of people still had when I first met them, but also cause family events have been very stressful these days. Phew... Anyway enough sap. I wanna talk about something else!!

A Ramble

I've been wanting to read comics/manga and watch more classic cartoons recently because I've just been finding them more entertaining, and I want to expose.myself to more works because I never really read many comics back then and a lot of my tastes were only just internet and basic TV cartoons that every zoomer animator has watched. Idk where I was going with this but anyone got any recommendations for what to read?

That's all for now.

Happy Nyu Year : D ~ !

Also thanks for the Daily! Scored higher than last time too.

GET READY FOR WORDS...

Anyways a lot of big things went on and happened within the last year or so. Both with my family but also around these internet circles. 2021 was a crazy year really not like other years for me. I basically was not in a good state for a lot of it, but when I was, it was very good :) . A rollercoaster of a year for me speaking, probably for anyone reading too. I graduated high school at least, but without any plan for what I wanted to do after, but I'm starting to piece things together now. I am trying to regain my motivation back to do things outside of the internet.

CokeVentures 6!!!

It's probably coming out this year. Maybe during the summer. I can get to it and a few other projects soon. Last year was kind of a rut. I hope I can do more episodes of this though. I had a good start to the making of the episode, but progress slowed down cause I didn't record all the lines for a few months, I'm gonna try to finish the storyboard soon cause it's almost been a year since the script was written. I wanna try and work on composition of shots and posing characters though. Are We Friends? really didn't have very good posing. Also progress for storyboard is like half-way through (i think) so not much to worry about.

Little rant about art?...

(I might remove or edit if none of my points got through or make any sense. it's really late!!!)

I've been thinking a lot about life and death recently. Mostly about the amount of time you really have on this flat map (i'm a flat earther btw) and that has been motivating me recently to want to improve at what I do. I started to have a little bit of a fear of stagnating and not growing, Just being content with the current way I make things. Also over the last month i've been thinking about why I make art to begin with. Like what sort of benefit does being hunched over a sock drawer and sometimes desk for hours at a time bring? I think it brings me joy. Not in the moment mind you, my back usually hurts (artist meme XDD) but satisfaction in that something was done, finished. Although sometimes I feel like I've been letting my cartoons just go up unfinished recently, but otherwise finished. I really don't wanna rely on short-term dopamine rushes, but long-term goals. I'd rather feel like shit while making something but have the final product come out great than just be fine and have it come out okay but not good. Although there are a few products where I felt like shit and the product ended up shit too so.. uhh... moot sentence and point debunked?? idk. Anyway have a horrible terrible no-good day ;n; (i'm lying have a good day!!!!)

~byebye!!

Thought i'd post here instead of spamming twitter. As well as it being a better archive cause of my spamming.

Some Shit About Cartoons

First of all...

I did not do a damn thing for that FNF jam entry. All I did was appear in the background crowd. That cartoon to me is a reminder of a different, worse, gayer Tornada. Even if it was made in the same year as me writing this blog post.

Second of all...

I'm glad people really enjoyed Coke 5. It was actually nice to get a real episode of the series out after a year of basically doing nothing, fooling around on discord, and trying to frankenepstein an already old-ish - outdated as fuck - episode. The way I feel about that episode is that even though the cartoon is very roughly made (rushed too!) it still managed to be at least comprehensible and had an actual beginning, middle, and end. Basically this was the type of shit I was making beforehand. That cartoon wasn't trying to be ironic or too weird (well it's comedic but y'know), that was my actual sincere attempt to make a cartoon. So making a series and having it go from that to THIS in one episode is at least something, to me. Even if the episode came out like two years later. It at least only took one crazy month of not doing schoolwork to make. Also special thanks to literally everyone else who helped on it!!!

Third of all...

Since I brought up that cartoon.... I thought i'd bring up the little halloween short that followed 10 months later.. I wanted to make that just to make one specific joke about a certain individual that may or may not have a problem with the group i'm in.. (hihi if ur reading this desu >.< ~!!!) but also I wanted to use that to improve my sound mixing skills, since there were a few things about the sound mixing in the preceding cartoon. Wanted to learn how to specifically how to EQ, use Dynamic Compression, and foley/ambience. I also MIGHT make another cartoon by the end of this year but not a full on episode....

Last thing...

Episode 6 is coming! Probably around the summer or so. I want to actually take time with it and not rush it and stress heavily like with the last few cartoons.

PS: If I fucked up on writing lmk cause i'm about to fall asleep (it's 4:34AM in the fucking morning!!) Maybe a nice hot cup of strong coffee will soothe me in the slumber land >U< !

That's all.

Doraemon.

What're some good songs to listen to?

Asking this. Mainly listen to ska and alt rock but any music genre that isn't those is fine.

Any good bands/artists?

I wanna listen to more than what I listen to right now. Please give good bands or artists

That's all.

PURPOSE

I don't know the purpose of life, but I do know a few ways to remedy the issue.

Just post images and browse the internet until you sleep, 24/7. all the time.

TIME

What is time? Time is concept made up by man, but what does this have to do with the stated above? nothing. It just looks so darn cool, but I gotta think of an excuse to pass this particular concept and break all the laws of this universal law. Which is all over the universe, now is now and tommorow is later, and yesterday was the past. 

RELEVANCY

Nothing, I just wanted something to do in this boring health class because I already finished and assignment that the teacher isn't even gonna grade. So i'm just spending all this time typing for no reason, but it's honestly better than doing nothing, i'm actually suprised that I managed to get past the schools block on Newgrounds, Certain Youtube Videos, and Discord since it's so simple to get past this restrictions, but I cannot give these out since it varies on the school but yeah. 

​CONCLUSION

​This is the end of one of my ramblings since this was just a long typing of nothing but just me pressing buttons on a somewhat broken Chromebook... I just wanna go home and go on my PC but can't since I am at school still and don't wanna get in trouble. Anyways sorry for this long meaningless rants.

-Have a nice day!
