Hi friends! Quick update, I am now out of college and am working on the next big boy upload. Current ETA is July, but again, no promises. But I am very excited to be videomaking again. In smaller news (ha), I've made a second channel called Microwott! Anything I make that I wouldn't consider Big enough to post here, I'll post there. Right now I have this Homestuck: Beyond Canon dub up on the channel if you're into that sort of thing. Thanks for reading, see you soon!

Hey friends! Omegawott here.

I figure some of you are wondering where I've been. Or not, it HAS been a year and a half since I put out my Sonic documentary, the reason most of you know me... and a year since my last video at all. And nine months since I said I would do monthly uploads. Whoops. Figure I should give an explanation, yeah?

The Sonic documentary's success was and still is the most insane and incredible thing to ever happen to me. I suddenly had an audience that wanted to see what I could create, which still absolutely means the world to me. After that, I tried to run with the momentum with an over 40 minute video about Banjo-Kazooie. It was a massive project that I sunk months of my life into, with pressure building as it was my next big product after my Sonic video. I wanted to deliver, and it made life kind of stressful. But then, in the middle of making that video, I ran into some serious health problems that left me out of service for almost two months. While I won't get into detail, I will say this was the most harrowing period of my life for a few reasons. However, it allowed me to take a step back from everything that had made my life what it was and see it from a new perspective, and it made me realize a few things. I realized where I had been in my life, even with my channel's modest success, my life wasn't really moving anywhere. I had dreams I always wanted to pursue but I never had the drive to chase them. So in that moment of stillness, where I literally could not move myself to do what I wanted, I realized what I really wanted. When I recovered, I put the Banjo-Kazooie video project on hold (where it will probably remain until the end of time,) dusted off an old script for a Deltarune video, and made it in a week to give the channel something small to chew on. Then, for the next two months, I devoted all of my time into making a college portfolio. 

I've wanted to pursue a career in art and animation for many years, and I was finally done waiting. I applied for a few schools in December, and then all I could do was wait. When I wondered what to do in that time, that was when I made my plan to do one video essay a month...which obviously didn't happen. I was in the middle of writing a script for a Half-Life video when I realized something I probably should have a while ago.  

I am not a documentarian. I love Youtube video essays and I loved making the Sonic documentary, but that isn't my calling. Maybe you don't know this, but my true dreams lie in animation. I want to be an animator, or a storyboard artist, taking part in an industry that I've loved for my entire life. Though for a long while, I treated youtube like it was going to be some big career for me. So I decided to stop treating it that way.

Along with that, I won't talk about it too much as I feel it speaks for itself, but in the last year I've been through a substantial journey of self discovery, which you can probably gather from my new branding, hah. My identity's changed a lot in the last year, and for a while I really didn't want to appear to this audience as I was figuring myself out. I'm honestly glad I didn't make anything with my voice and sona mid-metamorphosis, lmao.

So where am I now? Thankfully, college! Right now I'm in my first semester of art college, looking to major in Animation, and I've never been more excited for the future. I'm taking a break from doing a self portrait assignment to write this, actually. Unrelated note, colored pencils are weirdly difficult to get solid color...

So that's where I've been, and why I haven't uploaded. I'm sorry for the broken promises and the lack of communication, but I'm happy to be where I am right now and I'm looking forward to the future. Does this mean Omegawott is over? No, it's just at a much lower priority in my life right now. I'd still love to do more with this channel and I'd love for you to stick around, even if it's just smaller things I make from time to time. Don't expect nothing forever, but also don't expect any more 30+ minute documentaries, haha. One thing I'll leave you with though, I've had an idea for a video about a certain series (it rhymes with Bravity Balls) for a very long time, which would incorporate my love for animation. Absolutely zero estimation on when something like that would happen, but it'd be fun to do sometime!

Thank you all so much for sticking around, genuinely. Knowing I have an audience that actually likes my work and wants to see whatever I do next absolutely means the world to me. Whenever I have something new to show you, I hope you'll enjoy it. Wish me luck.

I'll see you when I see you!
