With my 1st mini travel sketchbook! Oh-em-gee, I actually finished it! XD Yay! Incidentally, I finished the legit last page a few days ago, but still thought I could fill in some leftover gaps LOL ... I'm done, though. :P


I ordered & received it in January of 2016, but didn't truly utilize it until 2018, when I injured my hands, & had to regain my dexterity; it was the perfect tool for recovery. I already got (& started) on a new mini sketchbook, & I'm transferring reoccurring OC designs from the old mini, to a big sketch tome that I have for home drawing.


I'm also thinking of turning some of my doodles & sketches into digital pics, if you don't mind: chickens, shark torsos, random toon animals & food, Animal Crossing & SMii7Y fan art (so many chickens, y'all...). We'll see! Now, onward! To a new adventure!

I don't really talk about this... then again, I don't think there's really anyone I could talk about this with (I'm pretty much in this alone), but, today's an important day.... sort of.... I guess...


10 years ago, on 11/12/13 (yeah, I intentionally waited for that significance) I started [both] DeviantArt & Tumblr accounts, for the purpose of attempting & sharing art growth [in general].


10 years later, on 11/12/23: I've LONG cleared out my DeviantArt account, which has become just a husk of a favorite-leaving profile, & repurposed my dumpster fire Tumblr account, deleting the art sub blog as well.


Around the 1/2 point of this journey (5 years ago, this month! [I guess I like November?]), just days before I started this Newgrounds account, I was hospitalized w/ liver damage from Pharma drug poisoning & severe side effects, that left me with permanent injuries, particularly to the palms of my hands, which drastically impacted my dexterity over all. I didn't realize how bad the damage was, until I 'recovered' enough to try to write & draw again, & I couldn't. It's taken me quite a while to re-learn certain tasks, motor skills, writing & drawing again. With writing: my manuscript (print) is still shaky, but my cursive got easier & better. With drawing: I've gotten comfortable w/ doodling, sketching, pen drawing, & trying color mediums, but still struggling w/ the pressure sensitivity of pen & tablet digital drawing (then again, I think w/ digital drawing, I need a more comfortable work surface & I don't think I have that, so I assume that's a large contributor, too).


Over all, not sure that I can celebrate a 10th anniversary, or even a 5th anniversary, of more downs than ups. All I can say now is.... I'm trying? In some way?

Greetings, y'all. Just trying to find a way to branch out elsewhere. Tbh, I've never made any NSFW art (yet) but, it doesn't really matter, because either way, it looks like tumblr [in general] is in its death throes, so it's only a matter of time.

tumblr's always had it's problems, which is unfortunate (because of the many awesome features it has) but I'm just trying to find somewhere [other than ban-happy twitter] to go to, when things eventually get to 'that point'.

So.... "Hello!", it's nice to meet y'all & I'm very curious to see what newgrounds has in store.
