I said I'd make 2024 my year. It technically IS still 2024, so now it's time for me to actually share my plans.

ONE - I'm finally going to start showing details on the project I've been cookin' up.

Here's the first one, and just so you know I plan to update this post quite a bit.

TWO - In order to insure the success of this project, I'm gonna do something BIG pretty soon...watch out for that.

As I've stated previously, things have been absurdly tough for me irl as of late (especially over this past month), so I can't commit as much time to my work as I'd like. Still, I need to prove myself as someone who's capable of achieving great things and rightfully earning the respect of others through honest means. Happy New Years and thank you to anyone and everyone willing to support me!

So many god awful things have happened, both to me personally and with wide spread events involving things I care about. Just today I saw an absolutely horrific tragedy no one should ever have to, and I don't think I can say anything about it at all. I feel emotions that I both can't put into words and am not sure I want to. I won't ask anyone to pity me for it, just to be understanding about how I feel.

I feel this is a sign. I've allowed my life to go to waste for too long. I HAVE to succeed now, I can't allow my suffering to be in vain. I need to prove that my stupid life was worth something. Whether or not you're interested in me, I'd appreciate if you stood by my side regardless.

I WILL become a successful artist. Failure is no longer an option at this point.

...Uh, yeah sorry 'bout that. I needed to let that one out.

Again, not asking for money or pity, nothing other than just your time.

I've gone on and on and ON about how I've had "plans" up until now.

THIS is the moment that I actually start showing that I'm not all talk.

Hope everyone who's seeing is ready for what's in store!

No, this isn't a "phone bad" ordeal. Part of the reason I choose to speak of this problem here is because it's how I post my work a lot of the time. Look...

I have two computers that are basically useless right now, AND HAVE BEEN FOR MONTHS. One is stuck in an Automatic Repair Loop (I have tried SO MANY SOLUTIONS AND NONE OF THEM LASTED) and the other is flat out DEAD. Zero light, no powering on, not even briefly. Nothing. I spent MY money fixing it numerous times...only for it all to get flushed down the toilet... {:'-)

And I'm currently stuck typing this out on my super old and super crappy handheld device...I am utterly sick of computers always ending up as worthless hunks of cobbled up trash. WHY CAN'T THERE BE ANY THAT JUST WORK PROPERLY!?

Good lord, this year has been a complete disaster so far. All of my plans for it are currently going to waste, some of that due to things I have zero control over (mainly that Obligation I alluded to in my previous post).

...Oh well... At least I can finally use my new phone again. Woohoo...

I know that in my final post from 2023 I said I'd quit stalling and start actually working on my current project, but truth be told I haven't been able to focus on it a whole lot.

(Please bear with me. I have an actual reason this time, rather than me just being lazy.)

See, I'm currently in the middle of a pretty big commitment, and as such I have significantly less free time now. Basically, I can't really be around here often because I'm needed elsewhere. And in what little time I do have, I usually forget to work on it or on anything else, or am too tired.

It's really disappointing, I wanted this to be the year that I'd finally show everyone what I'm capable of...And 4 months of almost nothing pass by...Again, I'm very sorry about this, but right now I'm not sure what I can do about it.

I tried signing in with my tablet, and it SAID I signed in. But when the page auto refreshes it goes back to me NOT being signed in. I did it just fine on my laptop, so what's the damn problem? My new art piece is on my tablet but I can't send to my laptop, and my laptop's camera is garbage.

https://junkclaws.newgrounds.com/news/post/1273293 I already asked about it here, but didn't get a single response. Like said last time, no nft stuff please.

Preferably one that doesn't do Nfts. I hear Artstation currently has a bot problem of some sort.

Not having my art show up in the portal is really irksome. If it did then I'd honestly post more often. Is there a way I can convince them?
