ELECTRIC BOOGALOO!

it's that time again! a small update on how things have been!

i've recently been very busy with irl stuff, and with my compulsions acting up lately i've been quite low on energy and general mood. i've been a bit dissatisfied with my sketches lately, so i'm trying to get back into the groove by focussing on drawing things that are really gonna make me happy.

WEEK IN REVUE

• long.... tiring.... it feels like it's been a month since i made my first Tea Time

since last time, i've posted a total of ... oof... two drawings!

24/02/21: the first drawing of the past week was of my pal Toonsly's super cute OC Baxter! toonsly has sweet character designs that are so fun and lively. that was great fun to draw!!

02/03/21: the second piece, done just today, was a nice little drawing of Super Mario! he's one of my favourite characters of all time, which is probably very typical-sounding, but he just makes me really happy. it was a nice way to tune out everything else and focus on drawing something really fun that'd cheer me up after this draining week. here's to hoping the next week is better, and if you're reading this, i hope you had a nice week last week and that the good vibes continue!

FUTURE PLANS

• i still have drawing Shyla's cute dog OC very high up on this list! i have started on the lineart but it's very WIP at the moment. slow week...
• i have a new sketch of Duncan & Jones that i'd definitely like to clean up and finish sometime in the next couple weeks!
• i started on a fun FNF drawing that will include multiple characters, so last week's goal is definitely being worked on.
• i still intend to draw the tankmen, and i have some ideas floating around in my head for that that i've gotta settle on. looking forward to drawing them!!

thank you for reading, if you see this! i hope everyone is having a really nice Tuesday, or if they aren't, that things start to shape up soon. (:

hello to anyone reading this!

i have really bad issues with time blindness & poor memory (mental illness & other very global things heavily related), and i figured since this site has a blogging feature, it might help me to try write up an update on things on Tuesdays, just to keep a sense of time for myself. and idk maybe some people will enjoy reading it

PREFACE? what does that word even mean?

i have a couple things i'd really like to talk about.

first of all, i've been having a really amazing time here on newgrounds. there's a really strong sense of community and uplifting spirit here that makes me feel very welcome and supported. i really love checking people's accounts, reviewing their art, and getting inspired by all the incredible stuff being shared on here!

second, i wanna shout out Toonsly -- they're the one who scouted me when i first joined, and i really appreciate that! they have really cool characters and epic art, definitely check them out if you get the chance!

and thirdly, a huge and sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has left comments, reviews, and encouragement on my art. y'all didn't have to do that and it makes me insanely happy to get this kind of engagement. it's something i've never, ever seen before!

HARE'S EXPERIENCES

some pretty big things have happened for me this month since i've joined.

19/02/21: my drawing of Mom from Friday Night Funkin really exploded here and on twitter, and got me my first front page feature! that shit was bananas! i never thought it'd see so much attention!

20/02/21: my design for the Friday Night Funkin' Minus mod's alternate boyfriend, based on the cute little blue/red face grafix, won the design contest! i legit shed tears over that! there were so many awesome designs put forward and i never ever expected mine to win!!

i've started looking around NG a lot more since i started posting art here, and found some really fun series and animations that i really enjoyed. specifically, Duncan & Jones has been a big inspiration for me. i really like the style of humour, the characters' personalities & designs, and the environment they exist in! my favourite easily is Duncan & Jones 3!! if you haven't checked it out already, i'm holding your head and shoving it towards that link in a kind yet aggressive manner.

22/02/21: i drew some fanart of the two main dudes, which got me another front page feature somehow?! i didn't even know how to respond to that! i was so amazed by the warm reception that drawing got!!

and latest of all, just today:

23/02/21: my art of sonic and metal sonic got a front page feature!! when i saw that this morning i shouted "NO WAY" and startled my brother. this shit is insane!! i am really happy with how that one came out, and i'm so shocked and messed up over this.

FUTURE PLANS

here's a little notarized list of things i'm planning on doing in the next week!

• some more art of my OC
• a drawing of Toonsly's OC Baxter!
• a drawing of TheShyla's very cute dog OC!
• some picos!
• TankMen. TankMen. TankMen. that was one of the first things i checked out when i joined this site and i REALLY enjoyed that!
• i'd definitely like to try draw some more FNF, i have a couple sketches hanging around. i want to try draw the Lemon Demon, or possibly Daddy Dearest

thanks for reading if you did! i'm not sure if i'll continue doing this stuff consistently or anything, but it's been fun typing this out and reviewing my past week! very helpful!

i really appreciate all the follows and engagement i've been getting on my art! i just wanted to say something in appreciation. you guys have really been motivating me to push myself with my drawings and try new things!

if anyone has any requests or suggestions on what to draw, i'm still 100% happy to listen!

right now i've got WIPs floating in my folders of some OCs and a couple of picos i should really finish but hey. doesn't hurt to start new projects huh?

i'm having a lot of fun drawing lately, but i'm struggling a little with ideas. if you see this, feel free to suggest/request things in my DMs or in the replies!

i'll do ocs or canon characters, and not necessarily fnf!

i won't do anything explicit or very suggestive, though.

i'm not totally sure how the whole scouting thing works, but i wanted to thank both SuperfastJellyfish and Toonsly for offering to scout me!

i probably should've read how it worked BEFORE accepting... maybe...

i accepted the one from Toonsly, because it's the one i saw first, and i think that's okay. i think this is some kind of artist stamp of approval-type deal?

thank you both so much again if you see this!

i'm excited!
