What even is going on?

I have my good times, my "meh" times, and my bad times. This really should have been canceled in 2017 like I said, but I just don't wanna let go for whatever reason. Stuff gets to me. Life gets to me. I'm sure it does to everyone. I think I'm going to put M1AA down and hope I'll come back to it someday.
Why is M1AA so important that I don't want to 100% let go? Because thinking up of scenes and character interactions and all that for the story makes me happy. It makes me feel better in the not-so-good times. But I haven't been doing that lately and haven't got the motivation to. And I also don't want to do a shabby job of making a Mother 1 series, as I want a good quality story. I made a very short ep. 1 back in 2016 or so without thinking of a storyboard or plan of what will happen next:

 What was my direction? Where will I go? What do I want Ninten's personality to be? How about Lloyd, Ana, and Teddy? What are things they'd totally do? What things will they absolutely not do? What's in-character and out-of-character? I need to plan this all out.

Okay M1AA, I'm gonna let you lie on the bed. Take a good rest...

2019 updates - Ninten reference updated

Hey'o everyone! It's been a while since my last post, huh? Sorry I don't have much progress on M1AA, but I have a life. And life is messy sometimes, y'know? Unexpected things happen and you just have to deal with it the best you can.
I've been drawing more Mother stuff lately, so my motive for M1AA is getting revived. I haven't practiced my voices for the Mother kids in a while (probably a little more than a year), so I need to practice that. Anyways, I wanted to create a reference for Lloyd, but I don't have an idea of what his pajamas would be. I instead took another look at my Ninten reference and decided to update his pajamas to be a bit more in-line with the style of 80s pajamas:

A bit better, I say. The bottom of the pants are ribbed cuffed (yes, that's what you call that design) and have a secondary color. The reason why I originally had a plain blue shirt because Ninten's sprite at the end of the game (where he takes a rest) is blue. Yeah, the sprite is just hatless, but I imagined a plain blue shirt. I also don't want Ninten to have the exact same pajamas as Ness because I want to differentiate the two. Ninten has short sleeves because— I again, imagined— the events of Mother 1 took place around the summer. Who wears long sleeves for summer nights? Here's the other designs I thought of before I settled on the last one:

 Also Ninten doodles for practice drawing him in his pajamas. :P

I hope to eventually have more references of the main characters soon! (as well as other characters, such as Ninten's sisters, Pippi, and more)
