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.

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!!!
