yo-hey it me again, dragging myself off the phone to the PC to announce some glum (and not-so-glum) news at the start of december again... will it become an annual tradition? if it does, they better get happier as they go on... firstly, the EXTRA-Oddball Mirror Hall has been delayed to sometime in January 2024 - i know all of you have been waiting practically the whole year for it but... ugghghhhh, am tired of it [UmU] after spending most this year focused on ramshackled reflections, working a startstop schedule frequently interrupted by other projects or plain-ol-hiatuses, i just wanna shove those magick mirrors out there and get on with whatever's next, but alas, i've stumbled at the last hurdle, that being... those DOs 'n' DON'Ts for Justpaste? ugh, no motivation to do those at all rn the looming threat of having to move to @BurgCube over a certain final straw PLUS my continuing late nights AND still going too hard on my exhausted heinie on occasion... it ain't helping my case ;) so methinks the best thing for my sanity is delaying it 'n' allowing myself to recharge over some (hopefully) smaller stuffs (yes i know this means i won't have any major projects out for 2023... at least not yet) also, about me saying the ERNY series stickpeeps may soon be redesigned? well, that's delayed too... but it's more like "half-delayed" i haven't implemented those BIG shake-ups, at least not yet - paul is still a boy, the sticks are still human, amir could still speak exclusively amiranese for a while but she could take some english-speaking classes... and while i've settled on some new designs, others i'm really not sure what to do, and even the settled ones end up getting tweaked in every drawing i do - it's a highly experimental phase for the 'franchise' to avoid wasting oh-so precious time 'n' motivation on character vectors which may only be used once or twice, or which may recieve updates regularly, i'll continue to use the OG vectors in things like AYs or animations, but new looks could make cameos in handdrawn form for art projects or the like (the EOML was originally planned as their last pre-redesign appearance but now this is gonna happen) when i finally settle on a defined look, that should be when the new vectors begin, but for now it's just in this odd transition period... sorta like my life i don't wanna end on a sour note tho, so i'll get strong t' the finich with some better, vitamin-rich news... firstly, thanks for the 1,000 followers! if it was 2016 i would probably faint in disbelief and cobble together a celebration project for this four-digit milestone but... eh, i'll eat my humble quiche and not gloat too much secondly, this december could be the BIG month i've been waiting for, the one where i finish and introduce those new cube cats representing myself in two strangely-divided halves! get yerself prepared for the new era of bergverse arriving... completely outta da blue! thanx for all your ongoing patience :3 when you're a berg fan in 2023, it's kinda a requirement... credit to all i guess, including uhh uhmm err... MEMEMEMEMEEEE and all my fans :) ohk to keep y'all busy while ya wait go watch mr. chips draw a short straw:
