I just realized that I may or may not be too active as usual in the up coming week due to my family members coming in to celebrate the Holidays.
So, have some early art in case I won't be able to finish any of the art and take the time to post it here on time.

Firstly, let's say an early birthday to...

Acewritesstuffiguess
Happy early birthday, I'm not too sure how much time I got on December the 19th so here is something for your birthday to celebrate it :)

Thank you for always being such a wonderful and creative person Ace, your creativity really goes beyond space! ( I know that for a fact due to your doodles if you know what I mean haha-)

I know this is three days early but whenever your birthday comes, I do hope you'll enjoy it!

Oh and something else along with your birthday gift as well:

Stratus belongs to Ace
H!Gradient belongs to Addie ( TheAddieDragon )

I very rarely ever draw types of art like this but you know what? This is an exception. On the plus side, these two get along quite well, nothing weird has happened there.

So have a Stradient art :)

And now for the other random things:

Oh? New character reveal?
Perhaps...perhaps...
He'll play a bigger role in the future of the Sequel, don't mind him too much. I just really needed to draw out his character design I've been thinking of for months.
Also I don't know why but I'm quite proud of how this turned out, and now I can't stop thinking of drawing him being quite chill and all-

Neph pulled out the right music for this little guy then started drawing SCP-999 and I just decided to join in and now we got this.
...
I could feel myself slowly being pulled towards to a second or third fandom-
How do you even manage to be in multiple fandoms at once?

So I felt the need to take a break and was scrolling through YouTube and for some random reason, decided to watch Socks' animation channel (SocksStudios) and rewatch that recent video for probably the fourth time and finally took notice that there's these two frames, two strange drawing frames that reminded me of a certain someone...

[And of course these two shown arts are not made by me]
Any recognition yet?

Yeah, these two frames remind me of C!Socks- they both have the same mood here XD

And I couldn't just leave it alone you know?  So have me basically draw out that one future scene for Candy AU using this reference, and here is the result:

Some drawing of C!Socks accidentally drinking the black substance, nothing much lol.
I don't watch a lot of Socks' recent videos anymore (except for the old ones in around 2020-2022) but SocksStudios is something I would always keep in touch. Just appreciating the work that's been done there. Drawing and animation is hard, trust me, as a fellow artist I can understand-

Now speaking of YouTube channels, someone please explain this:

I haven't made any posts, done literally nothing and gained probably about 80+ subs or so in the past months before I had lost the ability to post/gain proper access to my main yt account.
I-I very much appreciate the ones who decided to support my channel despite the HUGE inactivity that the years will come but where are you even all coming from?!

Well...good news to the ones who's still hoping to stick around, I haven't given up on the channel yet. And I am actually working on an animation project at the moment, here is the first frame of it for you to get an idea:

And I shall not elaborate any more further than this :) Just wanted to let you all know that apparently, I still have the ability to animate despite not doing it for months.
Thank you all so, so much for the support and waiting very patiently for my official return on YouTube. It really means a lot.

Oh and this is the last art I'm planning to share before I say the usual goodbyes:

Nine more days...if things all go according to plan (which it most likely won't) I might be able to make a huge art and try, just try my best to add in as much lore as I can on time as I promised to some people. It'll just be a bit difficult due to school and family members coming in is all.

Anyways, can't wait to celebrate Candy AU's first anniversary whenever that comes, have a good day or night and thanks for checking in everyone!
