Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope everyone has a good time this holiday season and a great new year!!!

I am excited to announce that my back/leg are doing much much better. Still waking up with a sore leg but usually by afternoon it's kind of okay! With that said, I wanted to reflect on this year and talk about next!!!!

Reflection:
So this year was tough. VERY tough. As a lot of you know, it started well but quickly fell into disorder and chaos around April when I initially injured my back shoveling snow. And then by September was diagnosed with a herniated disc. Through exercise and stretching, I have been slowly recovering. During that whole process, my work output greatly reduced. Many projects have been suspended. Commissions left unfinished. My subscriber support dramatically dropped over this period too, which I can't blame anyone for. After all, they weren't getting the full experience they expected. These compounding issues, along with medical bills and towering living expenses has made things very very rough. But... I persist!

Next year:
With my leg and back doing significantly better, I have been able to work for longer periods of time! Being productive and less in pain has also greatly improved my mood so win-win! My biggest goal next year is to actually have a working game concept by the end of the year. But leading up to that will be filled with many new animations, new characters, and new experiences! But firstly, I will be catching up on my commissions, double time! I have a lot of motivation to get shit done and I am not about to squander it! Expect twice per month animation releases to return again as well!

Thank you to everyone who has been a supporter of mine, paid or otherwise! I hope you have a great end of 2025 and a fantastic start to 2026!!!

Oh, and by the way, there's a sweet 50% discount for new Patrons and Buck Club supporters for the first payment until the end of the month!

Happy Holidays!
