Welcome!

Today is the first day of the new year! Happy 2024!

2023 was such a fun and busy year for me!

For all the Amazing Alligator fans out there, The next two story arcs should be released this year.

The first story arc is going to be the shortest and most underwhelming, I think, because its going to be a short story I've been working on about Tinsley and the aftermath of the trip she took during the Road Trip Arc, which will be attached to a single title illustration. I keep noticing mistakes in what I've written and redoing the entire thing, but each time I do it gets closer and closer to what I would call a final product! Because I feel this could be a little bit boring for a lot of people and I don't want anyone to feel like I'm wasting your valuable time with what seems like a text dump, this arc will only be one page long. I'll get on the title illustration after I finish with my last few Substitute Secret Santa assignments for 2023.

The story arc after that is going to be animated in a very particular way! I'm very excited for this one, so I'm going to stop talking about it before I give too much away. Stay tuned!

In other news, the name I've been leaning towards for the story I've been building through the character design exercise will probably be The Akashic Treehouse. The concept is that its a collection of comics which take place at different points on a timeline. Sort of like a "choose your own adventure" story, except the structure I have in mind would be more of a "choose your own canon" story. When characters come to make a decision to temporarily split up, each possible outcome will be its own story, clearly labeled on a color coded time chart. The full chart looks like a tree, therefore, The Akashic Treehouse. I hope you won't be too sad when Amazing Alligator wraps up, because this story takes place in the same universe as The Amazing Alligator of Country A!

Finally, I'm going to be opening a ko-fi soon to make commissions easier since many people don't like or don't have access to Paypal. I appreciate your patience, and I must thank @TomFulp and everyone on the Newgrounds team for keeping Newgrounds awesome and fresh!
