HEYY GUYS!! agh I'm so sorry I've been inactive on Newgrounds for a whole month without any posts, I feel so bad..

I have so much to tell you guys so here's basically the overview:

• Free requests are almost complete; one more to go for now! (I'll say more about Free Rqs later)

• I've been studying more art stuff, and comic stuff. That being said, I've been coming up with a new project that I hope to begin like.... Very soon and probably begin releasing in Summer 2025!!

• I've been really busy, again, with irl stuff. A lot of long and stressful weeks have been preventing me from doing art stuff more often. Also my semester courses are getting really difficult right now LOL

• I STARTED A TUMBLR!! Its posts are super random right now, but I'll probably be posting more wips/sketches or doodles there, and let the good posts come here. Dw, I'm not migrating, but Tumblr is easier to make new updates and posts that are pretty light, compared to what I'd typically post here. There's a BUNCH of behind the scenes stuff I'd like to show you guys (if you want to see any behind the scenes stuff here, let me know!)

Regarding the Free Requests:

First of all, thank you so so much guys for requesting such cool stuff for me to draw, and a bunch of OCs too!!

Why did I start doing free requests?

I engage myself in drawing stuff for others typically when I just wanna draw and idk what to draw. I also like to provide service for you guys and the general public in the best way I can, so doing Free Requests would be a win-win!

Free Requests have helped me grow and develop in my art, explore and expand in areas I haven't found yet, and even helped in keeping me steady in tough life situations. It also keeps me committed to doing art continuously so that I can grow!

Plus, I do like a good challenge :)

Free Requests Closing (for now)

Free Requests, unfortunately, are coming to a close as of right now. The remaining Requests that I accepted are still going to be completed!

The reason?

As I'm starting to transition from art practices to using my art skills in action, there are some projects that I would like to explore doing, typically in making comic novels. These obviously require honest time and passion into it- and I've been doing a lot of plot outlines in my head about some stories I'd like to pursue into a comic book series!

And yeah I also mean my OCs (well no kidding)

Also..

Free Requests are coming to a close as I might prepare to open commissions instead. (Yeah yeah, you're probably wondering "wait- now we have to pay?!" Well don't forget that with comms, I plan to show the progress to you, so you can ensure the drawing turns out EXACTLY the way you want it! PLUS, there might be more than just an image: I'd like to provide the option to pay for a COMIC PAGE OF YOUR OWN!! Oh yeah haha, sorry--- this isn't an advertisement, just super excited!!)

Oh yeah I have a Tumblr! https://www.tumblr.com/mxsngr?source=share

Regardless of that, I'll still definitely keep on posting stuff here. You guys are awesome, and thanks for all the encouragement and support throughout this year and last year. You are all a blessing, and I praise God for what I'm able to do for you!

Here's a promise from God that I felt was really important to me:

Isaiah 46:4 NLT

[4] I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

Thanks so much guys! Lmk if you want to see any wips or doodles and I'll post them here. And I'll definitely start doing more art if this week gets easier! God bless!
