Okay so first, this isn't really like a life update. I don't like talking much about my personal life, cuz I suppose you are here for the drawings and not into how many times I have drink water over a day. Instead, I want to let a bit of my thoughts and things that might interest someone. I rather want to do it here, because in other social medias(twitter) I don't really get much of a response and don't feel as comfortable talking about the stuff that i'm making.
Drawing the same things is tiring
I kinda got frustrated over drawing friday night funkin stuff. I post more often in twitter, and it's always fnf stuff. In here as well but not as in twitter. I think I was getting bored and tired of drawing the same characters over and over, and forcing me to make ideas to draw only for that specific game. I DON'T HATE IT, I ONLY GET BORED OF BEING MY ONLY THING.
During this past school year, I have been taking comic book courses, and a stop motion animation one. It really helped me refresh my head and make a more clear path for where I want to go in the future. Creating my own characters and original work is far more entertaining for me, as well as adding little references to other stuff that I like without the teachers noticing it ;)
So my main goal is to create stuff that I really like and actually want. But unfortunaly, twitter at the moment doesn't seem to be working that much for me. That's why Newgrounds might become my main place, I don't feel weird posting other content in here as in twitter. Writing this might help me get my head into place and not fall in the constant cycle of saying but not trying.
ART FIGHT!
I wanted to do it last year, but couldn't :(....... but now I did!
For people who may not know what it is: Is this cool website that hosts this event called "art fight" every year in the month of July, where artists FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER TO DEATH....by drawing their ocs. You are divided into two groups and attack each other by drawing the oc of someone in the other team, and that person can do two things: nothing..... or fight back by drawing your character.
I really like the concept, and drawing other people's characters is very refreshing and a challenge to me. Each year the groups have like a theme, this year being fossils vs crystals, I'm in the fossils team btw. I don't really think of taking it too seriously but aja, I'll try to keep a constant attack status. Anyways I'll leave my profile here if you want to attack me.

I've played this really fun game last night: UNDERTALE
(this game motivated me to make this post, and fills me with determination)
I had the game sitting for a while, my older brother bought it and I can play it cuz we have a steam sharing thing turned on smth like that. I played it for like 28 minutes and never touched it again, I was to busy with other stuff. But now I have the summer free, and instead of going to bed at 10pm, I stayed up playing it for real this time....... I went to bed at 3pm.
I have seen this game before, and know at least the nature of it. But MAN! really playing it is different than watching a youtube video. Usually when I see someone talk about a game, they talk about mechanics(is important of course) but I'm not into the whole mechanics side of things. The mechanics are good of course, everyone knows that.
The thing I'm into in this game is how this game plays with your morality when fighting monsters. I didn't kill Toriel in the final part of the ruins(im not a cruel monster), and I was like "yeah im such a good guy". But then Flowey pops up to tell me I'm a selfish brat who only thinks about sparing Toriel, but not the other monsters I've encounter or killed in my way(the ghost is alive btw I haven't killed any major character....yet)
I don't say wanna much(this whole post is too long) I haven't finished the game for now, hopefully I can finish it and not abandon it midway through. I left it at snowdin town, like barely arriving to the place, I have no idea what to do next but yeah. I like not spoiling or searching things up because it takes away the true surprise of figuring out by yourself.
Outro....i think
Anyways I'll try to keep this sort of posts monthly or weekly, or just when I feel I have something to spit out. But anyways, is good to talk about stuff that is not art sometimes.
thank you for reading this yapping, and to the five people reading this.............bring water with you, its really hot outside, don't drink it, throw it in your face.
anyways, bye bye
