I want to make a cartoon similar to Madness Combat with original characters and stories. I will make the sprites and backgrounds. I would also be doing the writing and storyboards.

The cartoon will be based on this comic:

Here's a concept of how it could look like:

If possible, I'd like for it to be synced to a music. I'm planning to make this a series and have a 3-minute episode released every 2 months.

About the cartoon:

It's a story about an assassin living in a world that's a really big and seemingly infinite mall. He goes around taking out bad guys when the law can't do anything about them.

Reply to this post if you're interested.

Thank you!

Working on a new one. It's quite experimental.

Recently looked into Madness Combat for inspiration. Not only did I get inspired, I got motivated too! The amount of dedication poured into the series is outstanding.

I think Sanford and Hank are my favorite characters, though I find them all very cool.

Recently, I joined the Jump Comic Contest. I spent around 2 and half months working on my entries. Plural, because I had initially planned to enter the contest with a different comic. Long story short, I got burnt out working on the first one so I gave it up. I only had a little more than 2 weeks left to come up with a new entry. Luckily, I had a new idea right away so I immediately began working on it.

I dedicated a good chunk of my time to the comic. I'd work on it either before going to sleep or immediately after waking up. At some weekends, I'd even spend the whole day drawing. Whenever I wasn't drawing, I'm thinking of how I would finalize the dialogue. It was a good time, all things considered.

I wanted to work in it more, but I knew that it has to be finished. After submitting the comic, all I had to do was wait. And read other entries. I think a lot of them were great. Especially the ones who ended up winning. And while I don't usually compare myself to other artists, I felt like I had to in this particular circumstance. Mostly to lower my expectations so I don't feel bummed out after knowing the results. I knew my chances of winning were very slim since I entered a comic with a format that isn't particularly well regarded, amplified even more by the fact that my entry never even got frontpaged. To be honest, it probably doesn't even deserve it.

Anyways, now that the results are out, what do I make of this whole experience? First of all, I'm not a stranger when it comes to not winning so not winning doesn't bother me much, if at all. Another realization of mine is that maybe I'm not working hard enough. I already know that I'm not that talented since I couldn't do what truly talented artists can at my age, or even younger. Or maybe it's not that I'm not working hard enough. Maybe I'm just slow. I don't really know, only time and hindsight would tell.

What's next for me, then? I don't know. Maybe I could make a new chapter. Maybe I could start a new series altogether. Maybe I could make a game. Lots of maybe's but not one of them is quitting art, that's for sure.

With all of that being said, thanks to all of the judges, thank you Tom Fulp for letting me post more than 10 images, congratulations to all of the winners, and great job to everyone who joined and finished their comic. And to those who read my comic, I hope I didn't waste your time.

This was a fun event, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

Worked on it for a while, but it's here now!

Only a week or so left for the Newgrounds Jump contest, I have to finish my entry fast

Still working on the comic, but once I'm done with it (only a month left to work on it!) I'd like to spend more time learning how to code

I really really really hope I get to publish (and finish this one)

Last year, I set a few goals for myself:

Main Goals:

Publish 10 Chapters of Erebus

Make a themed Wanzu art every month

Optional Goals:

Get Frontpaged

Reach 333 Fans

Do a themed "Drawing every day for 1 month"

Publish Anastasia chapters

Publish different one-shots

Most Important Goal: Be (mostly) happy and have fun living.

Note: Make an update post at the end of the year.

:3

Verdict: I'm quite the failure. I failed almost every goal I set for myself.

Out of ~70 art projects that I uploaded this year, only one got frontpaged (that isn't made in collaboration with other artists). It's still very nice, and I consider this one a success.

Another goal that I achieved was to publish different one-shots. Comics and Random Art Battles 3 made most of them possible.

Did I accomplish the most important goal? I'm reluctant to say yes, but I wouldn't say no either. I suppose I can say yes. My happiness isn't entirely dependent on how much goals I've accomplished.

Other observations:

I'm quite indecisive. I've posted some blog posts about other stuff that I wanted to do but never accomplished most of them. I thought I could maybe trick myself into getting motivated into accomplishing them by posting about them, but it didn't really work. It just made me feel pathetic and lacking in integrity.

Lessons learned (?)

I suck at setting and accomplishing goals. I should either quit doing them, or get more disciplined (though this very statement is a goal itself).

Plans for next year:

• Focus on doing a lot of perspective drawings, and backgrounds.
• Expand my artistic knowledge.
• Like always, do my best to have fun and enjoy living.

Miscellaneous:

Some art that I really enjoyed making:

I enjoyed making all of my artworks with varying degrees and I learn something new with every artwork I make, but but these ones really made me feel like I've learned a thing or two.

Anyways, that's it for my 2024 summary. Thanks for reading. Looking forward to another fun year!

It's a new territory for me... I hope I'll be happy most of the time.
