March 2024 Recap:
Man, this month has been pretty boring for the most part. I thought about it, and I've come to the conclusion that I thoroughly burned myself out in January, and getting myself to draw and animate again was a major pain in the ass for a long while.
One thing though, is I did make a let's play of Super Castlevania IV that I think turned out pretty well!
Yeah, I haven't really done much during this last month, and I think that's fairly evident due to the fact that I have not posted much through March. I also did not work on any animation for Zelduh II, either.
April 2024 Plans:
So far during this first week of April, I have been fairly productive artistically! I have been working on the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door mural quite a bit! I am quite proud of that, so hopefully by the end of the month that can get posted.
I think that burnout has finally run it's course, and I am actively trying to achieve more of a balance between time spent working on things I'd wanna post on the internet and support myself with, and unstructured free time. I just want to avoid another mildly depressing burnout period. If anyone needs to hear this, letting yourself relax really does increase your overall enjoyment of life and productivity in the long run.
For the Zelda parody, I do plan to work on it more this month, but I can't give any guarantees on when it will be finished or released. But know that I will work on it.
And of course, I will continue to work on sprite art as part of the Newgrounds: Zero Hour team.
I still need to do my collab entry for the Earth Day Collab, and I wanna make another submission or two for The Space Collab.
Basically, I plan to be a lot more productive and active this month than I have been over the past few weeks. I'm glad I've got things figured out and structured a bit more!

As always, keep an eye out for some awesome shit, internet! And I really mean that this month as I've got things more balanced and figured out in general.
Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
