Hey gang, Mag here. It's been a bit, so I figure I'd take some time to say I'm still alive. Barely. I don't know how, but I've made it from New Years to Spring Break. I've come behind on my plans, but all in the name of university. Since last year was a lot, I've decided to take it a bit easier for 2025. In fact, I give myself a break for my birthday rather than stress about a special project for it. Granted, that means I overshot sending this on my birthday by two weeks, but some new stuff came up I wanted to shoehorn in.

While I haven't been posting too much, I've still been somewhat active on here, tidying up my page. I've also been (slowly) working on stuff in the background. One of my favorite announcements is that I'm finally putting Obscurity through the comic grinder! (v favorite panel so far v)

For a while now, I've been trying to put Obscurity to page (finally). This isn't a story based on the book (yet), but rather a one-shot to introduce the character to the masses. I'm planning for this to be my entry to the Jump contest here on Newgrounds. I had a little trouble figuring out what to do, but I was finally able to make a story I could tolerate to draw.

Unfortunately, I've had to put it on hold as this isn't the only thing I'm working on right now. Aside from another Ultralius extra (which may have to be my Jump submission depending on my workload), I've been thinking about something else. For the past few months, I've been considering where I want to go on Newgrounds. And you know what?

I wanna start animating! Like, for real. I feel that it's time to animate for Newgrounds, and the opportunity was given to me in the form of the DS collab! I couldn't do it, though, I had too much school work and not enough knowledge in Krita to do so. Hopefully next DS collab. Instead, I'm (trying really hard in) taking part in the TOO MUCH jam. I figure this'll give me a good base for my animation work.

I wish I could say the GIF up above is part of my submission, but that's only half true. I'm still getting used to Krita's animation stuff, so the original file I was working on got a little too big and complicated for my decade-old laptop. So, last night, I started another submission. I was able to draft it real quick, so it shouldn't be the hardest thing in the world. I can make an animation in... 3-ish days, right? (so much for taking it easy...)

But yeah. In the near future, expect animation (and hopefully a couple comics) from me. I can't wait to show you guys what I can do (on four hours of sleep). Can't wait to see you guys then and thanks for stopping by.
