So uhhhh...it's been about probably 2 and a half years and this artbook has finally reached to its halfway point (dang why did it take me that long to get to this point-)
Unfortunately I did not have the motivation or energy to celebrate this milestone but instead I do have some updates on some of the projects I'm currently working on.

Firstly, I would like to announce that I'm currently working on an animation to try to revive the yt channel once and for all (yes really-)

Here's some sneak peek for the short animation:

This is probably one of my first time adding blood to an animation, let's see if I can get away with it woooo-
(Darn it why does FF!Infinite still looks so cursed in my style though-)

(Not sure if the GIF works here but if it doesn't work that's okay, it can be seen in my yt community post instead of Wattpad)

In case the GIF doesn't work, here's one of the frames from the animation I've been working on for probably two weeks now:

Yes I decided to add shading into this animation.
It may be difficult but I'm willing to put as much effort as I can into this animation to make the comeback worthwhile and doing a lot of animation testing too since my animating skills may be a bit rusty after a whole year absence from animation.

The Candy AU animation will be put on pause till I can figure out how to draw proper human noses in the meantime unfortunately :')

Speaking of Candy AU...the story has been recently expanded. I finally got a good main idea of what I want the four new specific characters in addition of the lore/story to be.
I'll probably try to create some more art of Candy AU based on the expanded lore after I finish the animation I'm working on. In the meantime, have a little bit of a rough sketch of one of the characters being officially revealed in the story :)

I always had some plans for this guy but I just wasn't quite sure on his humanized character design or how he should be written in the story.
The story is still being slowly constructed as we speak though, using multiple characters is no easy task-

[Warning, no one has to read this. It's just something I wanted to put in]
———-
Unfortunately due to me not being able to do enough research of Oof and his personality in general (and I don't want to due to reasons) this version of Oof is most likely going to be vastly different when it comes to personality from the original Oof and the rest of the Foolish crew characters in the Candy AU by far.

I'll probably eventually watch over some Foolish crew videos to get the main aspect of how Oof's personality is but honestly, I don't really want to look back to the recent/present day Foolish crew videos due to well...the current content that Socks is making these days isn't something I would want to watch despite there being more of Oof included in it (on the other hand I also heard some drama/info about Oof which I'm not going to elaborate any further and would like to keep it that way)

So this version of Oof is most likely going to be his own thing.
I know I promised to do my research for the character accuracy of this AU but as of now I cannot bring myself to look into those video sources to help with the character accuracy for Oof specifically.

I do apologize for my lack of commitment in the accuracy for his character but I do hope you guys will still at least be able to tolerate this version of Oof in Candy AU, despite him may or may not be drastically different than the original.
Thank you for those who have read this. It's probably not a concern to anyone here but it's just something that I needed to slightly rant about I guess?

Now getting that out of the way, have some whiteboard art from weeks ago with Blossom :D

Erin belongs to Blossoms_Gemz

He's such a bean :D

Uhhhhhh not canon or anything, just some silly old doodle lol

Cough cough
My attempt in making a mobian OC-

She needs so much changes to her character here :')

Also uhhh I don't think anyone remembers Imperfections at this point because it's rather an unorganized story. But if I manage to write the reboot, IM!Meme would look a lot like this and hundred more times chaotic-
(I still can't draw hands)

MC!Meme just being Meme-

THIS IS NOT CANON IN ANYWAY AND THIS IS JUST ONE EXCEPTION ALRIGHT. SOMETHING LIKE THIS ISNT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN ANYTIME SOON-
This happened because Blossom and I needed the wheel to decide whether Milo or MC!Meme should have like this strong sibling bond or be lovers.
And of course....
Sigh
The wheel has chosen them to be lovers and therefore we got Melo official in the CC rp-
I still don't know what to feel about this, major panic is all I can say :')
Anyways uhhhh let's not get too much into that now since I'm usually not comfortable with all the romantic stuff- (even if it is subtle)
Let's move on:

A photo from Germany :D
(Don't mind me blurring out the people in the image here since I don't want to share photos of irl people out in the internet, especially not without their consent-)

Italy where Fotia was born in :0
Also Italy has so many narrow spaces, it's so cool yet it was also difficult for my dad to drive-
And don't get me started on the darn mosquitoes that were there too :')

I didn't have anything interesting photos to take but whoa, it's the red telephones in the UK :0
Also this was also when I learned that in the UK, they have the 'illegal' eggs being displayed in both the supermarkets and the convenient stores-
By 'illegal' eggs I mean the kinders chocolate egg thing, like the Tails one I got some months back.
I guess they're not banned in the UK huh-

I'm going to name the goat Fluffy or Twistor/j

To this day somewhere in the Five guys located in the UK, this drawing is being displayed on the public Five Guys Bill board :)
I never even been to Five Guys before till just recently, no one told me that place displayed crayon artworks there-

...this was weeks ago and uhhhh I found this little guy sitting in a comic store, being crowded with a bunch of other small Sonic figurines.
Look I know this may be getting a bit excessive but I promise you I'm only getting the characters I want- I mean look at this little guy, I couldn't just leave him there :')

And I'm ending it off with the only artfight attack I was able to finish. My motivation and drawing efficiency is so slow there's no way I could make it through artfight, this whole thing took about 20 hours...

Anyways uhhh that's about it, thank you all for checking in and have a good day or night!
I shall be going back to working on the art project now, goodbye-
