I dunno how serious these journal entries should be taken, so sorry in advance for spamming your feed. (I've just gleaned that they can be taken less intensely than forum posts, but I dunno if that assumption is correct, huah huah.)

I'm working on a compilation sheet with various sizes of pixels, sprites, tiles, etc. to showcase my range of ability. I've mostly been uploading larger scale works, but it'd be nice to have a wider breadth on here I think. If anyone has any suggestions or references to what I should have on there, feel free to let me know!

This is off-topic a little bit, but I'll try my best to upload some more original stuff on here too. My last couple of posts have been fan art. Not that there's anything wrong with fan art, I definitely don't regret making them, just it's a little uncomfortable for me. Being new on the site, I honestly don't know if people like my work because it's actually good or because they like the characters I'm drawing, you know? The last couple of pieces were for friends, but it's also really easy to start making fan art for the attention it gets, which should never be anyone's reason to make any kind of art. Not to mention that those motives are disrespectful to the original creator.

Anyway,,,,,, It's been a great week here so far on newgrounds! I've met a handful of really helpful people and even though I haven't contributed that much yet, I already feel like I'm a part of the community here, which is really nice. Thank you so much for all of your support.
