I feel the need to revive my dead news post section. Lmao

Yesterday, I made a Carrd to make my channel directory look a little more organized, and just a bit snazzy. Already, it's a welcomed upgrade from the plain, bland LYNX bio I used to have. I should've done this sooner, but I am a slow spook.

(Also, no hate on LYNX! I only had the free version, and I enjoyed it while it lasted.)

ALSO! Not too long ago, I revived my oldass Tumblr account, AND made a Pillowfort account! I'm excited to use them both! I didn't make them as a means to escape Twitter. I'm still gonna stick onto that blue bird site for as long as I can, still posting and updating stuff!

Speaking of Twitter, I made an art repost/to-do list thingy of some plans I had for my upcoming projects. I might be slow-paced online, but I'm determined to get them all done and scratched off that list!

I don't know when I'll post here again, but thanks for reading! : )

My first DTIYS special didn't get anywhere... Ah well, it was worth a shot! I'm still very proud of the art, and I appreciate the peeps who liked it! 💜

I'll still keep it open! I'll learn what I did wrong and hopefully have better luck the next time I host a DTYIS challenge!

I also wanted to say that I got some upcoming fan art that I'm excited to be working on for the upcoming spooky month. Hopefully, I won't suffer from art block or too much college homework to get them done in time.

So, I planned to share the dtiys challenge yesterday after the comic but it was late and I fell asleep.

But the dtiys is finally here!

Whether you want to check out the art or are interested in participating, I hope you guys enjoy it! 💜

For anyone who has been waiting for this long on the release, the comic is finally here!

I completed the DTIYS half too! I plan to share it a little later today. 👍

Ello! I randomly come back from the dead (again) to say that my 100+ comic and DTIYS challenge is almost complete! They may be released after a couple of days or sooner. 💜

I'm back! Sorry for the lack of updates, posts, etc. I've been working nonstop to get my surprise done.

I can officially say that the comic is finally complete! 🎉

My main priority was to get the comic done before August. It's the first time in a while since I've made a decent comic, but I'm pretty proud of it. Unfortunately, the DTYIS drawing is not done yet, but I want this drawing to turn out great. I'll try not to take long on the DTYIS because I plan to share the comic once I'm nearly done with the drawing! With that being said, I might be off for a little while again, but keep a look out for when the comic drops!

Hey, guys! A month ago, I reached a milestone on Twitter by gaining 100+ followers! I didn't get to share the news because some online and IRL stuff came up, and I needed time to recuperate. I want to make a surprise for everybody as a "thank you!" for enjoying my content (and bearing with my ineptness to post frequently 😅). My goal is to get it done before the summer season officially ends.

The surprise is going to be a comic + DTIYS! The comic's draft is already done and has ten pages in total. I can't show anything related to the DTIYS yet because of spoilers. Although, I CAN say they will reveal a character I've had and been working on for years. I know I'm not a large or impressive artist, I still want to show how thankful I am and share something people might be interested in and enjoy! I'll try to share more updates on how it's going!

Ho boy, college classes reopened today. It's my LAST class too, so I wanna do my best to pass it. So, I might be absent for about a week. I'm aware I already don't frequent my channels much, but once I graduate, I'll have tons of freedom to share more art!

UPDATE (July 2, 2022):

OKAY. My college had a change of plans. Instead of this month, they plan to reopen my last class in August. I'm eager to get this class done, but with the extra work and projects I have to do, the extension is welcome. Lol

Okay, so I wrote this a couple of days ago, but recently I got an update I'd like to share.

The user who plagiarized my art updated their post. They credited me for the design and apologized for causing trouble. We're communicating in DMs right now, and it looks like we'll both be on good terms. It makes me happy to know that we can forgive each other, and hopefully, this will never happen again.

I'm keeping the posts up, but I updated everything to show that the user gave credit and apologized along with my response. I feel like there's no need for the DMCA complaint to go through anymore, so I'm working to have it canceled. I hope the user keeps to their word and improves. I worry that if they keep this up, they will meet someone who will take things too far and make the situation worse. The user has incredible art, and I see no need for them to plagiarize other people or not give credit where it's due. I don't want to see them harassed over this.

Hey y'all. For anyone listening, sorry for being absent here.

A couple of days ago, I found out through my friends that my artwork had been stolen. Unfortunately, the thief is not here on Newgrounds, they're on Tumblr, so there's no way I can report them. They plagiarized my Vox Redesign by heavily tracing the hands, torso, legs, and cables. They basically copied the entire concept of the design aside from changing the outfit's color and the head shape. I don't like Hazbin Hotel but the redesigns I made are dear to me and I planned to draw more art of them and even build upon them. But now this fifteen-year-old girl has stolen my art, taken advantage of my creation, and her post is doing more numbers than any of my posts ever have.

I made a Tumblr account and tried reaching out to this girl multiple times and some buddies of mine have been trying all they could to help. The girl keeps hiding our reblogs and anybody else who calls her out has their messages hidden too. She refuses to talk to me to get things sorted out. Her DMs are locked and the reblog option on her post has recently been locked. Again, the girl is only fifteen so it's possible she assumed that I would yell or curse at her. I just want to be credited where credit is due or demand the post be taken down. What's troubling is that my buds and I found out that she's traced from other artists too. If those other artists find out I fear they may not confront her the way I wanted to.

The girl has wonderful and original art on her blog. I don't understand what possessed her up and to steal my artwork all of a sudden. I feel distraught, disappointed, and humiliated. Me being a small artist online is doing any favors. Since it's on Tumblr, I filed a DMCA takedown, which was sent successfully but I may have to wait about ten business days to find out if it is valid. I pray to God the result is valid. I've tried everything to make people aware of my situation and provide evidence to prove that what I'm saying is true. I just hope that I've done everything right and that my art is finally back in my hands.

I don't want to violate the guidelines here, so I don't think I can post the directories to my posts talking about the drama. The last thing I want is to ruin things for myself when I already feel destroyed. In addition, I don't condone online harassment and would never wish that upon the girl despite what they've done to me. So, I hope you don't mind me venting my frustrations here. If you made it this far, I appreciate you taking the time to read. I'm not dead on here but I feel pretty discouraged of sharing any artwork right now. All I can do now is play the waiting game and hope that the DMCA takedown works...
