i'm curious how does one keep up the motivation and ability to make these things without burnout or facing exhaustion? i remember you did these for a year before too

Back then it was somehow easier to stay motivated. I could 3D animate, 2D animate and do the daily doodle and relished in the satisfaction. That plus being surrounded by hard working artists and animators in my college team helped a lot

Nowadays it's a bit harder to be motivated since I graduated and don't have much to do and I'm not surrounded by my team every day, but I managed to push myself to do this challenge again and after the first one I felt not satisfaction, but fun, I missed this and this is what's driving my motivation this time. What caught me off guard is that my ability to do rough animation, the muscle memory from my animation software's shortcuts and all that stuck with me, I still got it. I didn't need to warm up or practice again, I knew what to do. I guess it's because I animated SO DAMN MUCH the year I did this challenge, so it stuck with me
