“The Murky Depths”

I like sea monsters, and the Creature From The Black Lagoon scared me as a child…

Idk, I just really like drawing these things, it’s so abstract and horror-esque and cool! I originally drew this as an all ink project for my drawing class, but I ended up liking the end result way more than I expected so here ya go! X3

UPDATE 2017: THE PAST COUPLE OF FUCKING MONTHS

   Hey, y’all. I probably should’ve been more active in keeping you guys posted huh? Anywho, everything that’s changed for me in my life could be easily explained, but I feel like stretching on this topic and rambling about it for a while, SO THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M GOING TO FUCKING DO. Furthermore, let’s go over precisely what I’ve been doing for the past couple of months.

1.) School. If it’s not on the top of my priorities list, then I really don’t have a grip on my priorities. The point is I do school a lot, so it’s very difficult to find time to do much else. Whenever I can, I usually don’t use it working more, and I often want to relax when I find this time. I would like to change this, however, and begin to have some form of a regular schedule with my work, my play, and my studies. As soon as I’m finished getting my shit together, I’m sure it’ll be a great time, folks!

2.) Over these few months, I’ve really had a lot of time to contemplate my life and question where exactly it is I’m going. Time and time again, on and off, I fell into binges between depression and self-content (as odd as that may sound). I felt truly happy with how much I was beginning to accomplish in one hand, but in the other I also felt dreadful in that other avenues of my life seemed to close in on me and wear me down. One particular bit of news that really threw me over the edge in the beginning was me turning 18. It seemed like this catastrophic event that would control the rest of my life, but now I know I was just highly over-exaggerating and I’ll get through this stage of my life like many others have. That along with many other personal affairs that I’d rather not discuss, I’ve been alternating within misery for some time and I’ve been finding more happiness as I live on. Idk, I have my weird moments, but don’t we all? What these few months have taught me, however (if anything), is that the only reason why I think my life is falling apart and I have no direction is because I was making it that way. At the end of the day, it all boils down to the fact that I’m human, I’m imperfect, I don’t need to cling to things anymore like I used to, and I need to start being more active in sorting through my issues. I know this was a it personal, and I apologize for going into such depth about these topics. I just need to get these things off of my conscience, and deal with what comes to me day by day without feeling so worried about it all of the time. Time may pass, but we can make our time the best we possibly can meanwhile.

3.) I’ve made a bunch of music, and I’ve actually devoted a lot of time and energy into it. At first, it just acted as a pass time that I could fall into whenever I felt down or when I didn’t feel up to the task of drawing (especially before other news, which will come later). However, I ended up pouring so much time into it, that I COMPLETED 3 ALBUMS IN THE SPAN OF 3 MONTHS JUST LAST YEAR. THAT’S A LOT OF FUCKIN MUSIC, and you can find it if you’re really that willing to look around for it. I felt so inspired by the acts of vaporwave artists whom I’ve missed out on for quite some time, that I just sort of fell into it. For paying attention to that too much while neglecting my other art has also taken it’s toll, and I deeply apologize for doing this as well. Also, check out mah muzic, plz?

4.) In other news, I FINALLY GOT A BRAND NEW DRAWING TABLET! With it, I can begin to post art more frequently, as well as hopefully begin production on some cartoons at some point, maybe. I promise that I will try to make a real effort to at least contribute to my art pages slightly every month, if not week. I think I just really need to make myself centered and focused on this medium so that I can not only do the art in a consistent fashion, but also do it in a way that I truly enjoy it and I can love doing it. What’s the use in trying to draw cartoons, doodles, or abstract art if I don’t even feel for it? Oh, and I’ve practically started doing commissions already, so if you want to contact me for more information, message me anywhere you can find me or send me an email at: [email protected]

I think that pretty much settles everything! I hope this explains a lot, and this won’t be the last you see from me. I’ll be actively improving my life to better that which gives my life meaning and purpose. No more will I wage wars within myself that I cannot win, and no longer will I let myself be swayed by false notions. Thank you all so much for listening and understanding as always, and I definitely look forward to posting more content as soon as I possibly can. Take care, see ya!

Leo Stoned

He's definitely pretty chill right now... This is a little piece I whipped up as a result of getting a drawing tablet for Christmas. I want to pick up more in art, but I've been busy and hard to get to my art and cartoons. I'm just glad I did something with it to try it out, but let me know what you guys think? Thanks!

UPDATE: News, Music, Voting, BoJack, more.

  I suppose you all want a big long update of everything I've missed, besides what I have on Twitter, YouTube, Newgrounds, Tumblr, really anywhere... Welp, I've been busy. Now, you may ask "What kind of busy?" or "Are you busy, truly?" Well, I have an answer for that. I've been non-stop working my ass off.   If it's not school, it's my creative side. One major thing that I've forgotten to do for so long is really tap into my passion with creativity. In the sense of drawing, I haven't done that in a couple of weeks REALLY. I mean, I've drawn the stuff for the podcast and I did that painting recently, but I'm talking more about my cartoons. Believe me, when I get the time I WILL work on that stuff. There's never a moment when I'm not working, which leads me to my next bit of quick news.   I'm coming out with my second electronic Gynk album, hopefully soon. It already has about nine tracks, five of which are vaporwave (I hope you like that, mem bois). The truth is, I have a very big passion in music, and I've been finding that now more than ever. Don't get me wrong, I love animation and would love to start doing it. Hopefully, I get to order that drawing tablet to be able to work with my computer. If that's the case, then there is still faith, my friends!   Another thing I've done recently (since I turned 18, which btw thanks for the b-day wishes) is I registered to vote, I'm going to vote on Election Day (which is tomorrow as of today). Don't ask me who I'm voting for, because I'm not getting into a discussion about politics where it doesn't need to be spoken about. I try to make my art pages and such entirely fair and unbiased to others, so please respect my wishes and just don't ask. If you do ask, I will remove the comment. Idk, I'm excited about voting, though. xDD   As of other affairs (since I'm a human being who likes to multitask and kill myself), I just recently finished and even rewatched BoJack Horseman. It's surprisingly heartbreaking and tragic, while also being really mature and weirdly funny. I highly recommend this show more than I've ever recommended any show ever. I'm serious, the series has substance to it! You'll love it, go check it out..   Furthermore, I just can't get wait to back into a constant swing of things. I am absolutely exhausted from trying to get my shit caught up and everything else, but I promise that my art and other things are still very much so a priority for me. I love all of you guys a lot, like I don't even think you know what I mean by that. You all have been in incredible, and I can't thank you enough for all of the love you have shown me. It's been difficult trying to juggle everything, but at least I'm trying to do that, right? lmao Anyway, I'll see you guys later. Thanks again, really... <3

P.S. Catch our podcast! There’s a new one going to be released every weekend.  An audio version will be posted on Newgrounds.

“The Unforgiver”

At dawn, he is the average man Clide McGarragon, protector of his home and their booze. But by night, he's the Unforgiver, tearing up the asses of bad guys all across the alleyways of the city... Stalking, preying upon the poor souls that make his night full of sweet justice, this antihero is not the most forgiving... Also, this came about from me messing around with Flash, and eventually just drawing this entire thing in the process with the idea of "Huh, Clide as a superhero?" Support is much appreciated from all of you, and thanks for checking me out! This was drawn with Adobe Flash Professional CS6, and painted with GIMP.
