Hello, people of the interwebz, doods and dudettes of all shapes n' sizes! Ricardo here with an update on things

Where have U been gone to?

So, besides me making my 21st birthday and having an emorional submission here on Newgrounds, you might be wondering "Ricardo, where have you been? You haven't posted much drawings for a while! Is something wrong?"

I'm glad you ask, little Tankjimmy! I'm just fine! The reason I haven't been posting much is that I've been changing stuff around where I live. We bought a vacation house 2 hours away from Lisbon to rest every now and then. We've been cleaning things up and moving things there to tiddy up our main apartment here in the big city since it has become a bit overcrowded. The house is really big, like really, REALLY big, but my wifi is really shitty since it's a town far away from civilization, almost close to Spain, so I couldn't make any uploads unfortunately. Other than that, everything's gone smoothly. My mental health is slowly regaining itself, I finally have an accoustic guitar (that needs some fixing), and I have more wisdom and knowledge on Adobe Flash CS6. Oh! Which leads to the next point!

Progress on the animation

After many months floundering and just drawing instead of doing my main goal, I decided to break the mold and once again return to making my passion project, "The Strange Dream". It's a Flash animation a la 2000s based around the AsterReicH universe that I've been working since March 2023, but have been delaying time and time again. I am not good at making deadlines, but I'm good at making teasers! I advanced a lot in my skills with the use of symbols, so now I have some sneaky-peakys to show ya. ;)

The project is around 89/94% complete, there is still some parts to clean up, some sounds to add to spice up the animation, maybe some additions to certain scenes to not look rough since some parts still use my old artstyle and the credits and bloopers. Also I will be adding a replay screen so you can still watch it whenever you feel like it, just to give that old Flash era feel to it. ;)

Closing thots!

So, here comes the closing thots! So, closing thots... I feel great! A good month thus far! The animation is going pretty great, grandma's over and is content with my content and being with me, I still am talking a lot with my bff @KhaosKitsune417, (Though I think we need to work on when we should talk since I wanna sometimes walk outside or talke a shower and eat. Don't worry, bestie, I still like u lotz, it's just time zones and my family's convenience, I'm sry! >,n,<) and overall my sanity and overall health is mucho bueno! Once I am done with polishing the animation and checking everything, I'll rst for a while on drawings and stuff, then out of nowhere I'll return like Don Sebastian I of Portugal in a foggy morning, but fr and not fake.

I'll see you guys on the animation's premiere! Sya! :)
