because I think this idea would be really really funny, I’m gonna choose Bob Velseb from Spooky Month
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Tom! :)
Rest in Peace dude, he made some fantastic music during his years 💐
As it stands,
I feel like your artstyle is perfect if you want to sell cute stationary & merchandise for an artist alley section at conventions— especially when it’s colored and rendered.
However, if you’re looking to branch elsewhere that isn’t merchandising related, I recommend practicing making full fledged illustration work or try making a small animation movie.
It doesn’t have to be super complicated or anything, but your work stands out fantastically when rendered. There just needs to be more to it, like full body character designs or a cover for something.
Holy crap dude-- I couldn't have said it better myself, you hit the nail on the head w/ this one.
It sucks to have to navigate these things as an independent artist and someone who isn't making much with her work.

It is also bizarre that software like Toon Boom and Adobe products are constantly hiking prices and removing more affordable options for indies and hobbyists, while also heavily pushing for AI technology that potentially makes the human user behind the software redundant and is already permanently eliminating entry-level jobs that make it possible to potentially make a consistent living making digital art in the first place. Like, how does Toon Boom in this case expect us to justify the monthly cost of their software, even want to use it over FOSS alternatives for our silly unpaid Newgrounds personal projects, while also working on Ember AI in hopes that it eliminates the need for large-scale studio production in general, let alone human employees in said studios? It just makes no long-term business sense to me to constantly charge more and more for software while (attempting to, at least) take away the very career paths that allow people to easily justify said software costs. Of course, publicly-traded companies or victims of corporate consolidation aren't exactly known for prioritizing the long-term health of the business over short-term gains.
Dude, I agree- this entire thing sucks.
Years ago, I (with the help of my Mom because she wanted to help me achieve my dreams), have purchased perpetual licenses for both Storyboard Pro and Toon Boom Harmony- and that with just adding onto support yearly and such was already expensive in of itself. Seeing all the whole "monthly" payments, it's just too pricy for what it's worth.
(Most recent drawing of them in 2020)
(Old drawing back in 2015)
I was super active online during my fnaf days, it was right when Fnaf 1&2 came out, and I liked a little bit of 3&4 (and that’s when I stopped),
That said, I really loved the depiction of Fritz Smith at the time & I loved the color purple, so I shipped him with Purple Gal (my version of Genderbent Purple Guy LOL) who I named Violet.
This is how I draw them now, mostly detached from their FNAF roots and as their own OCs, Violet & Fritz.
I’ll never make fun of people’s harmless ships because it can actually lead to unironic creativity like this, the FNAF AU to OC pipeline is real so if people want to ship really weird shit like “genderbent peach and random enemy from the pit of 100 trials” i really don’t care.
I really loathe how much I got unnecessary shit as a teen for shipping a genderbent vincent x fritz smith because if it wasn’t for some old characters I wouldn’t have gotten some kind of springboard for original content. (For context— back in the day on insta or twitter people would actually spam tags with dumbass pictures in the tags you use if they didn’t like your content; ESPECIALLY because it’s cringe)
Mfs better not preach about “being cringe should be a freeing thing” and then start bullying MrReedFan1234 (who is probably like 14-15) for their oc x Johnny Storm ship.
I helped make a thread post & contributed to the CapSteve Fanzine a while back <3
Just applied to this as well.
Nice to see this is happening too, y’all are the reason this site is alive.
