Hey people! Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom is actually here on NewGrounds and goes by @renedragonfly

she likes my art and I appreciate that she deeply supports me being on this website,

enough for us both to be supporters!

Holy shit! this is inssane!!! Thank all of you guys so much. It means the world that I'm able to entertain so many people and that this many people like my stuff!

I've officially hit the big leagues now! I'll try not to disappoint!

HAHA!

This art, to put it bluntly, was the worst rated art I’ve posted to this site, despite me working all day long n it yesterday. 😂

I was wondering why until I noticed three critical things I didn’t account for.

One: There hasn’t been enough variety in my art and because of that, the sudden “A” rated post came as a bit of an unexpected shock.

Two: The anatomy of my character was drawn terribly despite my attempts.

Three: My appearance is growing and expanding more from my art.

Expanding on the these points, I want to put my all into my art as well as have more verity while still making sure things don’t get too overbearing for me,

If anyone has some good advise on how I can achieve these things please let me know.

It would be deeply appreciated.

I’m back in the sleepy city of Charlotte.

It’s nice to be in a familiar place!

I took these a day or two apart from each other. The photo of the tree was taken at a nearby park with an old baseball field.

I found this toilet in the men’s restroom at an angle with a pay sign above it!

I thought it looked regulus so I took a photo!

Those pay toilets except in certain locations around the world BTW.

IDK what hapwith the construction of that toilet but it’s stuck there now! lol!

Hey everyone!

this is the first update I’ve done In regards to where I’ve been.

I haven’t posted anything technically new, because I’ve been having technical troubles with my drawing program,

Luckily, I have art lessons that I take on Wednesdays and they should be able to help me with that,

There’s also some funny stuff I’ve found recently,

I got this baby Pufferfish with goodly eyes and found these things at a restaurant we’re at called Sesh!

Pretty crazy right?

Hey everyone.

I wanted to gave a little update and clarification about my thoughts and plans for the future with my art:

A while ago I made a post about how I felt in regards to adult content in media.

https://lizguy74.newgrounds.com/news/post/1409598

In summary, I stated that It an underaged character is going to be portrayed in an explicit manner, that it would be best if that character was drawn as an adult.

For example: Amy from the Sonic series is canonically 12 despite being romantically shipped with other characters in the series.

However most people view these romances with older versions of these characters.

The same could be said for and NSFW drawings of the character, as most people draw her with prominent adult features and or proportions, to make things as unambiguous as possible.

The same could be said for Yuffi from Final Fantasy XII who is 16 and yet, people still like her energetic personality for a number of reasons.

I like to think of myself as an optimist and usually when I stumble across this stuff, crude Art that isn’t as clear and unambiguou, I try to imagine that the artist has honest intentions but sadly that’s not always the case.

I’ve been putting a lot more thought into understanding stylized anatomy and how I can portray the characters I draw, as adults with some style and flair to their designs.

I’ve noticed that adult characters with big heads, like in anime, cartoons, etc, tend to emphasize the height and waist of the character in question.

I hope to use the things I’m learning to grow and improve as an artist and I hope I’ve put my thoughts together in a clear, concise and understandable way.

People can be pretty crazy, for better or for worse.

I hope to embrace the weird, wacky and wonderful, though my art, as it’s one of the reasons I joined this crazy community to begin with.

I love you Newgrounds!!!

Akira Toriyama has left quite the legacy, hasn’t he.

It’s crazy to see how so many people were and are interested by his work, and definitely something special to see the home page covered with art of Dragon Ball and Akira!

Rest In Peace Toriyama sensei.

It’s the fourth Fan Free For All, where I encourage all of my fans to check out each other’s stuff for every ten fans I get!

this one is special considering how fast I got those followers, to the point where someone else joined before I could even make this post!

Thanks again for all the support and for the new eleven fans! It really means a lot that so many talented people find inspiration in my work!

thank you!

I went to Montgomery St: San Francisco with my family yesterday!

there’s a famous photo of the Sonic Adventure 2 dev team standing at the bottom on that hill as San Fran was a massive inspiration for SA2!

Fun Fact: the dev’s that moved to San Francisco “STI” first worked on Sonic 2!
