This is a crosspost from my Substack Newsletter.

I don’t have a lot to talk about from this past November so this’ll be a quick one. As is tradition there’s also a video edition you can watch here in case you’ve suddenly developed an agonizing allergy to reading:

Cubeguy: The Animated Character

Cubeguy’s animations are all complete! I handed the .blend file off to a friend and then banished him to the gamedev mines to get things set up as an actual playable alpha. No clue when that’ll be, but I’ll keep you posted. Check out the video below for a compilation of all the animations I made for the character:

Some of the animations could use some work, but I’m gonna save that for later unless we find something egregious in-game that needs to be changed immediately.

The Bugalo

In accordance with the ancient laws of this land, a new Bugalo page has been unleashed upon the world. Check it out on the Hydrosite by clicking on the image below. If you don’t see the new page, try clearing your browser’s cache.

I was playing very fast and loose with the sketches and inking on this page. I’ve been enjoying inking using the ‘ol pixel brush but I really gotta draw more so I can get better and more consistent with it. I used to draw exclusively using that brush before I knew anything about inking (which you can see evidence of in my very old drawings here on Newgrounds).

Miscellaneous Mentions

In other news, I am now a Certified Associate in Project Management. A lot of my time this past November was spent prepping for the exam for that certification on top of some unrelated family stuff.

I’m doing a secret santa art thing with some friends so you’ll see at least one new drawing out in December. I also wanna get cracking on the Table Knight module this month. I had initially set a deadline for myself earlier in November but the CAPM cert took priority. Unfortunately I’m not getting paid to work on my cool fun projects so I gotta focus on things that’ll help me in my dayjob.

As always, I’ll see you again next month with another Hydromonthly.

Have a good one,
