Summary of 2024.

Janruary-May

These months have been lackluster in terms of content. And that's because these months have mostly been negative for me. My minds was poisoned from social media consumption. I already had it bad in 2023, but this year was when it took a much more toxic, destructive turn. It got so bad, that even when I was in social events, I would still get stuck in my own toxic thoughts.

During this time I made Megadog, who's one of the only two characters by me that people recognize.

I also participated in the first few days of the OC arena.

During this time I began working on a comic book, for which I had the goal in mind of being my deepest, most well written work of fiction I ever made. I worked on it somewhat consistently until about August.

Movies that came out during that time include: The 10 plagues of Egypt Flash adaptation, and some other ones I didin't post

June

I kind of returned. I still had the problem from the first few months, but I got a little more control of myself. I posted only a little frequetly.

In this month, I began working on my big Daklil movie, which I put on hold, because I want to get better at drawing, so I get better animation.

Movies that came out during that time include: A movie celebrating Jerusalem day, A dairy party for Shavuot, and the part I made for the NGTV sunner bash, which I was too embarrassed to post individually.

July-August

My return.

I got better. The toxic thoughts no longer occupy me the majority of the time.

I participated in Artfight for the first time, and it was pretty fun. Because it was summer vacation, I posted like crazy. I revived the OC arena, which lasted for about a month or two.

During this time I made Catbat, who peaked during the OC arena revival.

I also expiramanted with Blender, but that didn't go anywhere.

I haven't made, or posted any movies during that time, as I was working on the big Daklil movie (which had to be put on hold because of Artfight).

September-October

Back to school. ᵧₐᵧ...

September hasn't been very eventful. The only thing worth mentioning is the big OC plaza drawing I made, being my first solo frontpage.

I began storyboarding the Hanukkah Man sequel late into this month.

October, however, is when the interesting stuff happened.

Tishrei came, and so did its holidays. Having two weeks of free time, I participated in the OCtober event, giving Daklil spotlight for a month. I also did some animation tests and practices for my Daklil movie, which didn't go anywhere.

I began rough animation for Hanukkah Man 2, as well as the NGTV Billy and Willy movie, which meant I had to put the Daklil movie on hold yet again.

Towards the end of the month, I have come to the decision of finally starting to learn how to draw humans, and so, I drew skulls.

Then skeletons.

So far, I actually learned some things from these studies, like a better understanding of hands.

I also revived the OC arena yet again, but that was short-lived.

During this time I made the pumpkin witch character.

I would like to draw more of her, regardless of season.

November-December

Not much has happened during November. I was mostly working on my two movies, and improving my art.

December the same thing, except now the movies are out.

Thoughts on the year

This year was pretty mixed. was it better than 2023? Eh. Probably not.

In terms of art and animation, I definitely improved, and not just improved from 2023. The improvements are visible within this year.

Highlight of the year was, to me, the 10 plagues movie. Even more so than the recent NGTV marathon. And that's because the 10 plagues movie was my first (and so far only) time I got a solo daily pick on a movie.

Goals for 2025

Get better at art

Have better health

Be more social
