A New School Year = New Avenues

I haven't been active on my blog since the last time I posted. The primary reason for that is due to the fact that I've been under a paid job over the rest of my summer break and by the time that ended, I had to work towards moving back to my campus to start the Fall 2024 semester. That's not to say I've been taking a complete break from working on my material.
For one thing, I finally managed to finish this Castle Background after leaving it on the backburner for so long - https://i.imgur.com/JHDBMCK.png
Another thing that I've done is that I've made several sprite alterations to PAC-MAN and the Ghosts since the last time I showed off screenshots. Here are the alterations so far:
Classic
Neon
16-Bit
Vector
Vector Neon
As before, there are complete sprite sheets for all of these alts, but I'm not sharing them publicly out of fear that someone could steal them before I put them to proper use.
On a different note, this past week I've gone through my first week back into studies and while I am a bit rusty, I can get back into the rhythm smoothly before long. This time around, I'll be learning Cartography, 3D Modeling with Maya (and blender on my own free time), Contemporary Visual Studies with an emphasis on Climate Emergency and Environmental Justice, More Animation, and finally Interaction Design Studio where I'll get to do some serious programming for the first time. As with every semester before, I will give these classes my all and keep the things I've learned through them with me for the years to come.
The last thing I'll share is that I decided to finally take the big leap into getting a presence on Social Media. I started my accounts recently and have posted past images and screenshots of a lot of my previous works. It's a slow burn, but I managed to gain over 10 followers over the course of this week just from my Instagram alone. I've updated my contacts page on this site to include links to both my Instagram and Threads account, but I'll also link them here in this post. I encourage anyone to check them out and give me a follow if you wish.
