Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates and art as of late. I've been really busy with my personal projects. I am keeping my eyes on Madness Day this month and hoping to put my best foot forward with that. My current big project is an animation for the Nintendo DS Collab which is still in its sketch stage. Regardless, I'm still proud of it though I can't show it until it's done.

I've been preoccupied with irl shit, stress and general mental health troubles. I do apologize for the lack of art. Going to try turning that around over the next month.

Anyway, hope yall are doing well. I'm glad Fall is here, I love sweater weather.

A piece of Zilla ‘98 and Zilla (animated series) and a madness wip piece. Still not sure abt the composition on that one. Gonna upload some finished art trades and artfight pieces later! here’s my artfight for anyone whos interested: https://artfight.net/~finalfridayss

also, happy disability pride month to those who celebrate! <3

Hi everyone! I'm sorry again for the silence. It's been hard the past month or so but I am gearing up for this year's artfight. If you've never played it before, here's the FAQ: https://artfight.net/info/faq

And here's my team sheet! I'm on Team Seafoam! https://artfight.net/~finalfridayss This year I'll probably be looking for Madness OCs to draw.

And if you can't participate, don't worry! I'll be uploading my attacks on here and my other profiles.

In other news...my commissions are still open if anyone's interested! My prices start at $12 and $34 at most (before any fees). I have a ko-fi but can take other forms of payment like Cashapp or Venmo if needed. Everything you need to know will be located on my website and ko-fi.

With all that being said, hope everyone has a good summer! And good luck to both Artfight teams! 🌊✨️

Posting here to boost @Skullstroid 's commissions. It lost its job recently and doing commissions while looking for a new one. Please consider sharing or donating if you're able. It's not an emergency atm but it's been job searching for almost a month now and it's put a lot of stress on us.

So, a while back I found an animation app for iPad called Toonsquid. It's nice, $10 with no subscriptions. I’ve been using it to practice animation. Since March, I’ve been working on remaking the classic MC sprites into sprite sheets for Toonsquid. Frankly its been hell to do, since finding good references and all angles for most sprites is impossible. So, for a lot of these, I’ve had to freehand and guess. Overall its very tiring but I’m happy with it so far. I’ve been working on it on and off since March. Wish I could’ve gotten more done but I was busy with work and life shit. Hoping to release them in a few months. The amount of people I've seen using TS for madness animations is like...very small, but whatever, I’m just doing this for fun.

What I have so far:

doing the engineer mask angles was hell, btw.

Thought I’d touch base over here and drop some WIPs. The top two are OC references. Bottom image is a work in progress for @Madam-Monarch of her OC.

On a personal note, things have been rough but I’m chugging along. Planning to open commissions soon once I have enough examples. Still figuring out pricing. I started work on a personal website but I'm stuck in coding hell. Stay tuned for more details.

I will say I have been practicing more looseness and self-love with my art. After such a long art block last year, I think I’m liking it again. Positivd affirmations and practice have been helping. Feeling satisfied for now.

So I made a Discord server for madness combat fans. We have rp channels, art channels and discussion channels. It's 16 and up, no NSFW and don't be a dick.

Hey everyone, hope y'all are doing well.

I’m sorry for my lack of posting last year. 2023 was a lot of stress and life events and that kind of distracted me from art. My new year resolution is to start being more active and posting more in 2024. Struggling with physical + mental health issues has taken a toll. And working full-time on top of that.

My birthday was last week. I had a nice cake. Other than that, my life has been sort of uneventful.

I suppose I’ll upload some of the stuff I did in 2023 to make up for my absence. I only completed a handful of things last year but I’m happy nonetheless.

Here’s to a better year.

So I joined this site today and it looks nice. I haven’t been on Newgrounds since I was a kid so its cool to see how much it’s evolved since then. Figured I’d make an introductory post so the community can get to know me.

I’m Jay and I’m an autistic hobbyist digital artist. I like drawing horror artwork, paintings and my OCs. My favorite things are slasher movies, black metal and collecting Goosebumps books. I also like analog horror a lot. I’m a closed off person but I like getting comments and getting to know people. :) Especially if we have interests in common. Lately I’ve been hyperfixating on Madness Combat which is part of the reason I got an account here.

Anyway, I try to post every now and then. Anxious to be here in the midst of the Twitter shitshow but hopeful. Will probably reupload some old art here later since I have a bad art block at the moment.
