I know I haven't been super active on NG lately, sorry, but it's for the best possible reason--I am currently working on the pilot episode of my Punk n' Gunk series I have been talking about, called "Gregorio the Has-Been." I am putting more effort into making this animation as polished as possible, so while it may seem like I've been sitting on my butt doing nothing since I uploaded "Penguobbo Causes Climate Catastrophe," I have actually been diligently working weekends (and even some evenings after work) on this animation. Here is a picture of the Ren and Stimpy/SpongeBob-esque "gross-up" shot that will assault your eyes for a couple seconds when the animation comes out:

As a reminder that animation, especially solo animation, is hard, even though I've been working on this one or two shots per weekend immediately after finishing my last short animation, it looks like I'm in this for the long haul. At my current rate, I should be done around late May, and the worst-case scenario is that I won't finish until mid-July, and either way that only means I have the ANIMATION part of the pipeline done, meaning I still have to render the whole thing and maybe do some post-processing afterwards, so expect the final animation to finally be released in mid-June in the best-case scenario and August or September in the worst-case scenario. Finally, I WILL force myself to go on hiatus after it finally releases, because in retrospect, immediately moving on to a huge animation project right after finishing up one that was still kind of big (by solo animation standards) and had its own frustrations was one of my dumber ideas, self-care-wise...

So, uhh, you might have to be patient with me this year, but this is a much more ambitious project I've been wanting to get around to doing for a very long time and hopefully my influences of classic SpongeBob and '90's Nickelodeon show through loud and clear in the final project (and I'm not just referring to that one gross-up shot), and ultimately enhance your viewing experience. I'll still be able to show up from time to time to enjoy and comment on your stuff, as well, but clearly I need to be more diligent in chipping away at this one and I may not even be super active online overall as a result. Stay "tooned" for more potential updates on this!
