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.

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!

I’m in California a few days to see my sister who’s in college.

Here’s some photos I took!

It’s the third Fan Free For All, where I encourage everyone to check out each other’s pages for every ten followers I get!

It’s a few days since I got to the big 50 but I’d like to shout out someone very special I found, balloonshroom!

I don’t remember how, but when I found there page I saw a sad message about feeling discouraged due to all of the bad things in this world, and so I responded with a message about how people can spread positivity through the passion they have for the thing's they make and enjoy!

It’s safe to say that balloonshroom is one of those people and I wanted to let them know!

This is balloonshroom’s awesome beach thumbnail in full!!

they’ve gone back to making things since my comment and I’m grateful to see his art because that statement is one I truly believe in, that anyone who’s passionate about what they do can make a positive change in the world and balloonshroom is a great example of that!

I heavily encourage everyone to check out, be encouraged and be inspired by everyone’s art here on NewGrounds!!

I’m in Florida for the next month or two to do some life skills training.

I found this old duck a few days ago!

He’s big and has a broken wing sadly but He seems fine, lives near our apartment and swims in a big pond that is just n between the buildings!
