Another Monthly Bootlegged/Life Update

Wow, its already been another month. Time surely flies whether you’re having fun or not, and I’ve definitely had my balance of both this past month. I’m gonna ramble for a bit, so if you only care about the Sticknodes stuff just skip to the second part.

[LIFE STUFF]

I’ve been doing a lot, the past weeks have consisted of me partaking in two things: Art and Music. I’ve been drawing a lot more, I think I’m getting better, far better than I’ve ever been, and it’s nice to have another hobby other than just animation (even tho they’re kinda the same), but you get the idea. With music, I’ve been slowing down on it, I have like one song that I’m sorta proud of, but haven’t released it yet since I was gonna make another short little collage. However, since I haven’t been doing anything I might just upload it by itself, if ever. I DID also make a short little theme for one my characters, but it’s mainly just to fill the silence in the background. Speaking of music, I’ve added some more songs to my giant playlist, some included were “This Is How We Do It” (Montell Jordan, Wino), “SOS” (Rihanna), and “Not Like Us” (Kendrick Lamar). That beef with Drake and Kendrick was such a crazy experience, so I felt like putting one of the songs in the playlist. Also, Rihanna has so many hit songs, she’s probably one of my favorite artists of all time, considering she has the most songs out of any other artist in my playlist (even more than Mary J Blige surprisingly), and also the fact that I literally grew up listening and loving her music, but yeah she’s awesome.

I did have a rough couple of days this month, but who hasn’t been through tough times. Life goes on, you’ve just gotta make the most of it, you never realize how good you have things until they’re gone. Anyways, onto the more cool stuff ig.

[BOOTLEGGED STUFF]

I made a TON of progress this month, the first half is officially complete, with around 8 minutes worth of animation. I’m pretty proud of how it’s coming along, and it only took me about 3 months (besides making figures, backgrounds, and writing the episode) I’d say it’s a pretty productive result. I dunno when I’m gonna finish it, it is most definitely before the end of July, I cannot waste my whole year working on this, I have some other ideas that I’d like to play around with that require a lot less time. I got ambitious but now I just gotta finish it; Don’t get me wrong I still enjoy what I made, just think I made it a bit too long. But hey, it’s coming along nicely and that’s all I care about. My main goal is to entertain so at the very least, once it comes out I hope it’s entertaining enough to watch. I tested this out by watching it all the way through myself (since I heard somewhere that you shouldn’t make something you aren’t a fan of or something like that), and somehow got invested in my own video, so I think that’s a good sign lol. ANYWAYS, final thing for this monthly update is, yup, you guessed it, a sneak peek! Here’s that:

Hope you guys do end up enjoying it when it comes out, that’s my biggest goal for this project after all, to make something fun. Anyways, that’s all for now, see you guys next month (hopefully with some more progress-)!!
