I've had plenty of ideas that sounded amazing in my head. Some even made it into a project.

The problem was never coming up with something to build. The real challenge was continuing when the excitement disappeared and the work became repetitive.

That's the part people don't see.

Me and dad are creating hand drawn original designs, what would YOU want to see on the back of a t shirt or jumper, shout anything at me, types of animals, foods, genres, all ideas will be taken into consideration i need inspiration and ideas !!

Hi there! It’s a pleasure to greet you all again. Today, it’s time for 0135.

0000 is a loosely defined project I started last year with the aim of creating quickly and spontaneously—an effort to overcome my perfectionism and simply let go. They are just numbered sequentially; I try hard not to dwell on any single one or get too attached to them: There’s always another one coming up.

Thank you so much for your support and kind words—they mean a lot to me!

I am genuinely curious if you do enjoy the writing I made. I want to make sure my writing is good enough before really getting into the show therefore I just wanted to show you a snippet of episode one. I’m learning how to animate and do genuinely good drawings and finding my own artstyle. Though I want to know my pros and my cons of my writing from indie animation writers and fans.

PS: I use Reddit mobile so I copied some script from my computer and put it in my Google Docs so it would be easier to see
