Hey my fellows, 

BoundedCat here with an update post/explanation post on where I’ve been. I mean ok I’ve clearly been around because I posted new art like 3 months ago, which is a bit of time. 

Where have I been?

Ok I’m gonna start this post off with the most prevalent thing, WHERE THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN!? Well I haven't been posting much here on good old Newgrounds, and that's because I have been doing school stuff! Well more specifically I got into this extended career program for jobs like chef’s, mechanics, and the class I’m in visual communications and technologies, basically an advanced art class that I’m taking to learn the real nitty gritty of how to do art, and how to do it as a job. This has obviously taken up a lot of my time, as I only got some new stuff posted in may. So why is this class taking up so much time during my time before summer break? It’s acutely my own fault as I have been going into with a full 110%! This has some good things like I now understand color theory better, and the artistic process, but it also has the draw back (pun intended) that I have not gotten much room for me to do personal projects. So yeah that's the whole place where I've been and what I've been doing thing.

My plans going forward!

So as of now I am currently working on a new art piece, and I am also in a small collaboration right now, and because of that it’s clear that I'm going to be getting back into things. But this is about future plans, not just stuff happening over the rest of this summer, so this Halloween I plan on trying to make a proper animated GIF and a normal piece of non-moving artwork. The end of the year will be mostly small artworks up till Christmas after that. Because like the past 2 years I’m gonna apply for the Newgrounds secret Santa again like I do every year since 2022, well I think I started doing it in 2022, but it could have also been in 2021 but I don't remember and I don’t really care about checking right now.

Now the plans for next year are a bit more exciting because I plan on trying to get out an animation that will be either 1 minute or 5 minutes depending on what I think would be a good length of time. The reason I plan on doing this is because I’ll be learning animation in non-GIF form for that school program I’m in(yes it’s a 2 year program). So I’ll be doing that, and dabbling in making short comics next year as well. The last thing I might end up doing is setting up commissions but IDK yet. Which that’s the whole plan as of now things may change due to things out of my control but hey who doesn't have that problem.

Closing statements

So that’s where I’ve been, and the plans going forward, there one more thing I Would like to say before signing off and that is that even though I don’t post often I’m always lurking and stalking in the dark, but in all seriousness I do just check the front page from time to time so I am kind still here just being that one quiet kid in the back of the classroom, ya know?

Anyways thanks for reading this post, 

see you fellas later!

(Edit): Forgot to mention in the future plans section of this post that I wanna try doing some voice acting stuff, to see if I'm good enough for it. Also I forgot to mention welcometohell.lol is going to be going down sometime in august, so if you want to see the website after that, head to my art archive I've made a section on there for it.
