Happy Picture Time From Yours Truly

Welcome to the blog for people who are cool like me so check my reblogged shyt out if you're cool I also make videos sometimes and draw occasionally.

Had the pleasure of meeting the boyz over the weekend at C2E2 and giving them this FFFFUCKING TRIBUTE to one of the best recurring segments on the podcast. I was a nervous wreck at first but I really had no reason to be, they’re incredibly laid back, awesome guys. Looking forward to the next update!

Yo

Hey guys, long time no see. In case the insanely small amount of you are wondering, yes, this is still a dead account and will probably remain a dead account for the most part. I don’t have any interest in purely reblogging or liking things on here anymore because I don’t see it as anything other than a waste of time. 

This post is mainly to share my new art blog, which you can find here:

spollywood.tumblr.com

Right now there’s barely anything on it and the layout itself is pretty barren, but I’m hoping to make that change soon. Expect drawings, sketches, and potentially short animations from me on there. If anyone still following this account is interested in giving that account a follow then I’d really appreciate it; if not, that’s okay too. 

Anyways, goodbye again, and I’ll hopefully see you over there.

Something’s not quite right…

For #probosowa

“King Dedede as a professional wrestler”

Technically he’s not that kind of professional wrestler but I couldn’t resist drawing the two of them with headgear.

For #thedeskofdrychris

"Draw Joe Pesci as Dr. Robotnik."

Time for me to try something new.

Hit me up with a PM of something that you’d like me to draw and I’ll draw it! The drawings will be done in pencil in my sketchpad, so it won’t be anything too overly intricate, unless someone gives me a request so fascinating that I’ll have no choice but to…

I’m doing this thing right now. Hit my art blog up with a request and I’ll try to not butcher it!

And I guess in order to try and end this on a happier note, I'm going to randomly recommend that you guys check out Orc Stain by James Stokoe. A friend of mine recently got me into his work and I instantly fell in love with his incredibly intricate, colorful and expressive art style. 

If I could one day draw something that was even half as impressive as Stokoe's work then I'd be a happy man. Anyway, see ya.

Again, feel free to PM me if you want to add me on Skype and talk to me if you aren't already in my contacts. And here's my art blog which I will aim to increase in activity soon.

I'm currently planning a series of exercises that can keep me actively drawing and experimenting and I'll keep you guys posted on what exactly that will entail in a bit.

Goodbye (but not really)

I'm putting this under a Read More so that people who don't give a shit can just scroll past it.

It’s time that I leave this place for good. Sort of. I’ll get to that specific detail later on in this post. But I’ve been vocal about how much I dislike the passive-aggressive, mudslinging social environment that this website encourages in the past, and I think I’m finally done trying to put up with it. I don’t share any sort of common ground with the way people seem to favor negotiating and interacting with each other on here; I could tell myself that some of that is probably due in part to many people on this website being teenagers, but I can’t pin the blame entirely on age or whatever. I’m tempted to, but I’m not going to stoop to making generalizations in the state that I’m in right now. Something that I desperately need in my life right now is optimism, and Tumblr seems to be doing nothing but fueling my naturally pessimistic outlook on life thanks to its extremely pessimistic userbase. I don’t want to become a part of that, I want to escape that and become a healthier human being. That’s my first reason.

More importantly, though, is that I’m not satisfied with what I’m doing with my life. I want be able to create, to entertain others while also entertaining myself, and this website is like a crutch which is preventing me from really devoting myself. I’ve always told myself that I want to get better, but instead I feel like I’m just hoping that this great artistic ability will just come to me in an instant. That mindset repulses me, and it makes me feel even worse than I usually do. And lately this feeling has just been building up inside me lately, eating at me, and I was unable to identify why I was feeling this way until recently. And by limiting the time I spend online I’m hopefully going to be removing any excuse that I have to not be improving upon, drawing, writing, editing, or anything else I want to improve upon.

In the end it’s really my fault for not taking the opportunity to leave when my mind told me that I should have done so months and months ago. Though at the same time, the main reason why I haven’t fully decided to quit until now is due to the people I talk to on here whose company manages to be really pleasant and welcoming. I felt like I had a lot of mutual respect with some of those people, and they’re really what has kept me on here for that long. I’m not usually the kind of person to let a few bad apples spoil the bunch, but I just can’t find any reason for staying here and reblogging mildly funny junk/random interests of mine that probably few others even care about that would be worth putting up with the garbage. I feel very similar about this as I do with my situation on Facebook and other social media sites that have just been getting more and more annoying to scroll through on a daily basis. And again, like this site, the close friends I have on there are the reason why I’m unable to just delete my profile and call it a day. Even more so with Facebook, because this is how I’m able to connect with old high school friends whom are all away at college doing their own thing, and otherwise I can’t really get a chance to catch up with any of them. That isn’t really the case here; most of these people are just online folks. I wish I could give some shout-outs to the people on here whom I appreciate and think really deserve a random pat on the back from me, but I’m not good at picking favorites and don’t want to single out anyone above others (since I’d probably end up forgetting anyway).

However, there may be some exceptions depending on what’s going on at the time. If there are certain events that come up which I want to partake in with a lot of others, like E3 or the Christmascast, I may come back for those. But as of now I think I’m going to call it quits as far as wasting time reblogging things goes. I could be doing more productive and, quite frankly, much more enjoyable things with my spare time than wasting time on this website, and I hope that shutting myself off from here will assist me with that. And if it doesn’t, and I find myself still trying to come back, I’ll probably just delete this blog altogether. But not right now. I’ll give it time to see if I really have to do that.

If anyone wants to reach me on Skype who hasn’t added me, my screenname is “cantflyman”. Keep in mind that I may not be extremely talkative 24/7 depending on what I’m up to, but don’t be afraid to talk to me.

Oh yeah, I should probably explain the “sort of” that I threw out in the beginning paragraph. Well, while I’m going to stop my trashy reblogging, that doesn’t mean I won’t utilize this website for actual creations of mine. I’d much rather be using Tumblr for the purpose of uploading creator content anyway, since that was supposed to be the point of this website in the first place. You can find that blog here:

shpollywood.tumblr.com

I’m also going to be shamelessly plugging my drawings from that blog through this blog, since it’s more popular and can hopefully get some stuff I have a little more exposure. That’s basically the most you’ll be seeing from me on this blog as far as content is concerned, so if looking at me trying to improve on miscellaneous art stuff doesn’t interest you, it would probably be for the best to just unfollow me.

Hopefully this didn’t come across as too melodramatic for everyone who bothered to read through this. I don’t like to make posts like these because I have a strong opposition against spreading my own negativity onto other people. Just because I often have a naturally shitty day doesn’t mean I should bring everyone else down with me. But I also don’t want to just keep these feelings bottled up inside me forever, because that isn’t healthy either. In any case, I’ll see you guys around elsewhere.

A new video has been released, but what is it???

1. For best enjoyment, please watch from the beginning without skipping.

2. Don’t spoil it for others.

3. Play it full-screen and very loud.

Hey roccobotte / ericbaudour, this was by far my favorite surprise to come from a Mega64 shirt purchase. Out if curiosity, could either of you tell me whose hand writing this is?
