My Mobile Hot Spot stopped working, so my laptop doesn't have any wifi. And worse yet, CSP is crappin' out too! It's got me stuck on a trial version, even though I have a license, and every time I try to save a drawing this happens:
Just another amateur artist with a bad case of Procrastinitus, and a wild story to tell.

Thompsonville Tribune | Issue 3 | February 2023
Welcome back to a semi-late of the Thompsonville Tribune. February was rather interesting, to say the least. I did not have internet most of the time (and still don’t) so I’ve been stuck using my mobile hotspot. More of a minor inconvenience if anything. Nonetheless, I still made good progress and achieved almost all my goals for the month. I also made a new logo!
A couple of weeks back, I unpublished the website maintenance. That same day, I decided to try using Editor X, which is basically Wix’s more advanced software. It was so laggy and I couldn’t transfer the site back to Wix! So, I just said screw it and started from scratch.
Comics page (unfinished)
I’m not gonna go through every small change, so I’ll just highlight the more important stuff:
· An Art Gallery with 3 different sections (Portfolio, Doodle Dump, and Fan Art)
· Comics page is more organized
· An About page with a summary of the series plot.
· Overall, a much cleaner look. The mobile format should be usable this time.
The site still hasn’t been published yet, nor will it be for a hot minute. There’s still a lot of stuff I wanna try and iron out.
Last month, I put Hollow Grounds on hold since I felt that I had too many ongoing projects. Long story short, that didn’t last very long…
Originally, I was just going to pick NG characters myself, but I instead opted to make a request thread. Speaking of which, if you’d like to make a request, send it my way! Just make sure to read the rules first.
ENA, requested by @Thetageist
I’ve got a basic synopsis for “Forest Walk”, along with the names of its characters (Lucy, Sarah, Mark, Billy, and Elliot). All I gotta do now is make designs for said characters, then it’s off to writing the story.
Sadly, I didn’t get to making the pages for The Hunter’s Handbook in February. That will be my main priority for this month. These first pages of the Handbook will be an overview of the Hollow specie as a whole.
· Make pages for “The Hunter’s Handbook” (for real this time)
· Make character designs for “Forest Walk”
· Add graphics and finish pages for the Website
· More world-building, as usual
That's all for February! If you've got any questions, then lemme know, and I'll try to answer them as soon as possible. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a good day!

The Hollow Hunters website is being shut down for further maintenance. It will be back online once everything runs smoothly.

Thompsonville Tribune | Issue 2 | January 2023
The Thompsonville Tribune has returned, this time boasting a more organized format. This month was slow going at first, with a couple of bigger projects coming in at the last second.
Doodle Dump Banner
The Hunter's Handbook Title Cover
A bestiary, recounting some of the most twisted freaks Thompsonville has to offer...
This book will go into detail on every specie of Hollow that Mason and Rogers have encountered. For now, I will only reveal a certain amount of Hollows, then show off the others as they make their way into the comics. Pages will drop on a monthly basis. This month will be an in-depth overview of what a Hollow actually is.
Concept Phase. Not much progress was made last month.
Work on Hollow Grounds has been paused for a moment, as I feel too many projects are in the works at one time.
That's all for this month's update. Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and have a good day!

A teaser for "The Hunter's Handbook". More details coming 2/01/2023

Initially, I was going to do a bigger thing for Pixel Day. But due to scrapping the original idea and restarting it, it's not gonna get done in time. So, I ended up making a smaller doodle instead.
The big drawing is still being worked on. Hopefully, I'll get it done by the end of the month. atm I just gotta sketch out a couple more characters, then it's on to lineart and coloring!
Who can beat Colio the Ghost?

I'm making a little somethin' for Pixel Day. It'll be based on an OC thread I partook in last year.

Thompsonville Tribune | Issue 1 | December 2022
Welcome to the first issue of the Thompsonville Tribune! A monthly progress report for my (soon-to-be) web series, Hollow Hunters. This will be used as a way to keep you all up to date with any current projects including comics, updates to the website, and maybe even character reveals.
This year, worldbuilding will be my top priority. I already have a semi-decent sense of what I want my series to be like, but I still need to put everything on paper. So, I bought myself a handful of notebooks and a big ass binder to store them in. Each notebook will be for a different story aspect (Plot/Episodes, Characters, Etc.). I'm currently working on the base plot for the series and taking notes on what direction I want the series to take. After that, I'll work on the core cast, fleshing out the main protagonist(s) and antagonist(s).
@Skoops hosted a De(mon)cember challenge last year, where you could draw 15 demons with 15 prompts. I joined in a bit late, so to make up for it, I decided I'll make a comic based on one of the prompts. Forest Walk will be a short webcomic about a handful of tourists, and their grave misadventure deep within the heart of Scarred Woods. There is no confirmed release date as the story is still in the concept stage. I've already shown off one of the monsters that will be appearing in the comic: The Harvester
Hollow Grounds is a personal art project I started a month ago. Inspired by one of my old art threads, I'll be taking iconic Newgrounds characters and turning them into twisted monsters. Like this:
I plan on uploading these drawings in sets of 4. I'm currently working on a drawing of Dad N' Me, but I don't know what I should do for the other two yet...
The website I plan to show my comics on has gone through a couple of different iterations, and just like the others, It's kinda bland. I aim to fix that by bringing back the art galleries, for both my own art and fan art alike. I'm also going to be making graphics for different pages, so it's not just "death by words". Most important, however, is the new Blog page. Just like on Newgrounds, I will also be making monthly updates on the website as well.
NOTE: I'll also be showing my comics here on Newgrounds, I just wanted to build a website for fun's sake. :)
If you've got any curious questions, then ask away! Maybe sometime we could do a Q&A, who knows? Anyways, that's all I got for this month. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and have a good day!

2022 has come and gone and now's when everyone is looking back at their work to see if they've improved, and what they can work on next year. So, here's my take on a 2022 recap.
Timeline, featuring some of my favorite pieces from this year
When it comes to improving my artsyle, I feel I've done pretty decent. Back in January (and a little way through September) was when I still scanned my drawings on a printer, then colored them digitally. I never traced over the sketches. All I did was darken the lines and color the rest. This resulted in some pretty messy line art, leading to some rather lazy looking art work.
Aside from those, I focused heavily on digital art with a few traditional drawings sprinkled here and there. Halfway through the year, I got experimental with different brushes in CSP, adding more texture to my work. I've also put a bit more effort into shading, though that still needs a lot of work. I even tried my hand at lineless art, which I feel came out amazing!
Not really. Sure I joined in a few events, like this year's Secret Santa, and the upcoming Fishing Collab, but there were a handful of personal projects that I announced this year. From large drawings, to some actual comics. However, some of them have either taken forever to make, or never actually came to fruition. I think the only big project I actually finished was Vortox's Thread of Newgrounds Friends.
This is in most part due to my laziness and bad habit of procrastination. I've got no real excuse aside from that. I do plan on fixing that this year, among other things.
For 2023 I'm going to focus heavily on my characters, primarily world building, along with a few bigger projects involving them. This time, as a way to motivate me to focus and work, I plan on releasing a monthly post (starting tomorrow) showing my progress in multiple Hollow Hunters related projects.
And of course, I'll be drawing other things, and working to further improve my skills. Probabaly finish a few old WIPs as well...
SCP-049-J WIP
That's about all for this year. All I really got to say now is thank you. Thank you all for sticking with me throughout 2022. Can't wait to see what'll become of 2023!

A few months back, Vortox had made himself many new friends. He wishes to continue this trend on a much larger scale, thus creating The Hollow Grounds!
As keeper of these grounds, Vortox has tasked me to scour Newgrounds in search of new people. So, once in a while, I'll find a few characters to draw as one of his loyal serv- friends. I said, friends. what else could I have said...
This is basically an excuse for me to draw other people's characters as twisted monsters. This also kinda gives me a way to practice character design. I might take requests for these, just not yet. For now, this is going to be more of a fan art type thing. I already have a few characters in mind. Speaking of which here's a quick WIP preview of our first victim...
