I feel Valentine's Day is just an excuse for a holiday in February. I mean, name another holiday in February. ...international Polar Bear Day? Wha- nevermind that. So yeah, to enjoy holidays, it seems my new tradition is just releasing some fun artwork for it, which makes sense since I'm more trustworhty making art in less than an hour than an animation in less than a MONTH. But anyway, I'l also use this as a brief update to stuff: Firstly, "McBrotate's Reuprising" is going to release Feb 15 - Feb 19, for RL4. It'll be my first "major animation" of the year. Next we'll be the first episode of "97Shorts", a compilation of short gags that take about 4 minutes. They'll be like "aveliate" animations to take a break from bigger ones I hope to make, like Firefigthin' Falk, Kookin' With Krazy Khalil, and of course, Thanksforgetting. However, don't expect them to come for a while, since animating still takes a long time. Plus, I'm still only HALF way out of my mental break. My full "return" should be at the beginning of February break, which is in about a week. So stay tuned for that. For now, still consider me "on break", even if I begin to post regularly again. But anyway, my mouth is dry (don't ask) and I'm getting carpal tunnel, so I hope you enjoy the art (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT REPORTING IT) and um...Happy Valentine's Day! (Valentine's Day could also just be an excuse for us to eat a bunch of chocolate without being judged.) - 97Scratch, 2024
