Yo what's up, I'm TheLegend87! I'm just your average Joe who really loves to draw, though don't expect said drawings to be good by ANY means, LOL! I sort of just post whenever I feel like it, so don't be afraid to expect the unexpected when it comes to me!

Hi everyone, nice to meet cha'! I'm TheLegend87, and I LOVE to draw/post whatever comes to mind! I'm a big FNAF fan but I have a TON of other interests as well! Thanks for stopping by!

YouTube: youtube.com/@TFreddy1987

DeviantArt: deviantart.com/thelegend877

Game Jolt: gamejolt.com/@TheLegend87

This is just one HUGE example of what I mean when I say I have a TON of interests other than FNAF! I love Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Yume Nikki, and so much more!

Here's just ONE example of what I can draw! I LOVE music, and recreating album covers with my favorite characters is one of my favorite pastimes! In case you don't know, this is a recreation of the iconic R&B group Shalamar's 1982 album "Friends".

As much as I like drawing regular FNAF characters, I also like drawing FNAF fan characters! The Rat here is a good example of that. Art like this is what I try to strive for: The kinda art that makes you think about things while also looking cool as hell!

As much as I love drawing, I also love writing! It's the whole reason why I try to give all my drawings pretty distinctive names: They're telling a story and that's something I truly find comfort in. Aside from writing, I'd also like to note that I'm a pretty decent character designer who LOVES to redesign characters in my own style! They won't ALL be bangers, but it's the thought that counts!

When the rain begins to fall... Take good care of my heart.

Starring Shadow Freddy (and a Stone cameo), here's a recreation of Jermaine Jackson's EXPLOSIVE 1984 album "Dynamite"! Hope y'all love this one!

Model credits are in the alt text below!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Shadow Freddy (the purple bear on the right) rests his hands behind his back while grinning. Behind him is a statue of Stone the Crow. In the background, the entryway for an extravagant-looking building is blocked by a gate. At the top of the image, big white text reads "SHADOW FREDDY", with some cursive teal text on the side reading "Dynamite".

As always, the image on the left is my recreation, and the image on the right is the original version.

Dynamite is what I like to call one of those "perfect" albums. Not "perfect" in the sense that it's generational or that it changed music forever, but "perfect" in the sense that there are ZERO misses or skips on this album. EVERY song is a banger/bop, from the infectious duet between Jermaine and his brother Michael on "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' (Too Good to Be True)" to the super ambitious concept of "Escape From the Planet of the Ant Men"! It's honestly got something for everyone, so I hope that you check it out, you won't be sorry!

Here's all the models I used to make this render, all credits go to their respective owners!

Stormy...

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month everybody! As a celebration/final send-off for September, enjoy this render of El Chip and the Rockstars recreating Santana's classic 1978 album "Inner Secrets"!

Model credits are in the alt text below!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #hispanicheritagemonth

On the right side of the render, El Chip looks to his left with an amused look on his face. On the left side of the render, Lefty, Rockstar Bonnie, Rockstar Freddy, and Rockstar Chica all look towards El Chip with happy expressions on their faces, and their hands are clasped together in unison. The entire image itself is in complete grayscale, except for the text, which is in yellow. The text on the upper-middle part of the image reads "INNER SECRETS", with the text directly in the middle of the image reading "EL CHIP".

As always, the image on the left is my recreation, and the image on the right is the original version. Also like always, I'd like to give y'all a little history lesson!

For those of you who somehow don't know who or what Santana is, Santana is the name of a rock band founded by its namesake, Carlos Santana! Born in Mexico in 1947, Santana and his family moved to San Francisco in the mid-60s, where there, Santana found some bandmates, formed his band, and released their first-ever album in 1969! With the boost in popularity from their performance earlier in Woodstock (yes, THAT Woodstock), Santana slowly grew bigger and bigger during the 70s and made some classics like "Oye Cómo Va", "Samba Pa Ti", "Black Magic Woman", and "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)". But most of you are probably more familiar with the band's 1999 album "Supernatural" and its chart-topping hits like "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" that are still played to this day in family gatherings/cookouts! With all that in mind, this 1978 album of Santana's is a lot more rock-based than their earlier/more spiritual works, but it's STILL pretty damn good! Santana's truly one of the best to ever do it, so I hope this render does their legacy justice! Enjoy my Latin American brothers and sisters, and from me to you: Al mal tiempo, buena cara.

Here's all the models that I used to make this render, all credits go to their respective owners!

I'm having a LOT of fun with Blender lately, and considering the response to my last render, I figured I'd make a new one! Here's a recreation of some Kirby's Dream Land 3 artwork starring Dee Dee and friends!

Credit to BennetJL for these amazing models!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #Kirby

7 squares/rectangles of different colored backgrounds are placed onto a white backdrop, with a character corresponding to each square/rectangle, like a portrait. Counterclockwise, we have Dee Dee, Lolbit, Nightmare Chica, Minireenas, Bonnet, Plushtrap, and Shadow Bonnie.

As always, the image on the left is my version, and the image on the right is the original version.

I have so much love for Kirby's Dream Land 3 (and Kirby as a whole!), and this was always an idea I had on the back burner for years, so I'm glad I was finally able to realize it now! I hope you all love this, and please let me know if you wanna see even more renders like this!

Once again, much love and credit to BennetJL for these AMAZING models, they came from his 2025 FNAF World model pack, which you can find here: https://www.deviantart.com/stars255/art/FNAF-WORLD-PACK-2025-1218672591

I'm so glad I'm standing here today...

Starring Freddy, Candy, and Popgoes, this is my first-ever standalone render! To celebrate, here's a recreation of The Crusaders' awesome 1981 album "Standing Tall"!

Model credits are in the alt text below!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

At the top of the image, text in white reads "FAZBEARS", while text in blue slightly below it reads "STANDING TALL". In the middle of the image, three characters stand in front of a building. Freddy (the one in the middle) has his hands on his hips and has a happy expression. Candy (the one on the right) has one hand on his back and the other on his hip. His eyes are closed. Popgoes (the one on the left) has the same pose as Candy: One hand on his back and the other on his hip, but his eyes aren't closed. But with the description out of the way, here are the model credits!

You must be from another galaxy...

As a gift for my good friend Joyful Rhys on Gamejolt, I've drawn his OC alongside Dee Dee! Man, it's been a little while since I last drew, so apologies if this looks a bit rusty, but I hope y'all love it!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

A blue and purple gradient surrounds the top and bottom parts of the drawing. The text (in a light blue to pink gradient) at the top reads "COSMIC LULLABY (Stairway to the Stars)". The light blue text at the bottom reads "Tell me a bedtime story...". The drawing in the middle (highlighted by 2 white borders around it) shows a galaxy with many stars surrounding it, and Dee Dee (the girl with the pink and yellow propeller hat) is hugging Joyful Rhys (the little bear wearing an orange sweater and magenta pants). Joyful Rhys is holding a huge pink and purple lollipop. Both of them are sleeping.

Hey everyone! Lately, I've been wanting to expand my range when it comes to art, and so, after experimenting with Blender, for the first time ever I'd like to show you all both a drawing AND a render of Dee Dee!

Credit to BennetJL for his Dee Dee model!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

The background is of a pink checkerboard pattern with Frutiger Aero-styled flowers to accompany it. The text at the top-left side of the drawing reads "When 2D Meets 3D". In the middle of the drawing, Dee Dee (the one on the left who's a 3D model) looks up at Dee Dee (the one on the right who's a 2D drawing). 2D Dee Dee says "Aww, you're so cute!", to which 3D Dee Dee responds with "Well of course I'm cute, I'm you!".

This is just a comparison of Dee Dee (the 3D model of her on the left, created by BennetJL) and Dee Dee (the 2D drawing of her on the right, drawn by yours truly)!

TheLegend87 @thelegend877.bsky.social · Aug 12

A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon this AMAZING drawing of Dee Dee originally made by the incredibly talented FNAFTheVendorTrio on Gamejolt, and as a fellow Dee Dee fan myself, I decided to pay homage and redraw it! Enjoy!

Talk about a so-fish-ticated taste...

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Dee Dee's holding a large orange fish that has a metal jaw for a mouth, with an angry expression on her face. Her left arm is on her hip. Seaweed covers her right arm and propeller hat. Behind her is a large glowing sun with a smile on its face. The background is of a grassy area with a large pond in the middle of it. Dee Dee says to the fish, "You're lucky I only catch and release!".

My version of the drawing is on the left, and the original version of the drawing is on the right. Y'all should go give FNAFTheVendorTrio some love, she's genuinely such an awesome artist/game developer who deserves to be checked out! Take care y'all, I hope I did the original drawing justice! You can check her out here: https://gamejolt.com/@FnafTheVendorTrio.

Happy 11th Anniversary FNAF! Apologies for being a day late, but I just had to make sure this was EXTRA perfect! Whether you're an OG fan like me or you're a more recent fan, I think we can all agree on how much this series has done for us! Enjoy y'all!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

The drawing is split up into 3 parts: Past (on the top), Present (in the middle), and Future (on the bottom).

The Past represents FNAF from the first game all the way back in 2014 to what's considered by many to be the "end" of that era with Pizzeria Simulator in 2017. The Present, represented by Toy Freddy, is meant to just showcase the celebration itself, he's "in the moment" and isn't particularly stuck in the Past or worried about the Future, he just wants to appreciate what we have CURRENTLY. Lastly, the Future represents everything we got after Pizzeria Simulator, starting with UCN in 2018 and then moving on to Help Wanted, Security Breach, and then SOTM as of 2025. Before you ask, yes, I KNOW UCN is considered to also be part of the Past era, but being real, I only included the game in the Future section to give it more characters since I'm admittedly a bit biased towards the Past era of FNAF (in case you couldn't already tell, LOL).

About a day ago, it was my official 6th anniversary of being on Gamejolt, though since that day passed already, consider this a normal drawing from me! Here's a recreation of Jermaine Jackson's AMAZING 1989 album "Don't Take It Personal", starring Toy Freddy!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Toy Freddy, wearing a red shirt and pants, rests his left arm on his knee while keeping his right arm straight down. The background (and Toy Freddy himself) is monochrome, with the only semblance of color being Toy Freddy's red highlights and the text on the right side of the image. The white text over the blue hourglass shape says "Toy Freddy", while the yellow text below it simply states "don't take it personal".

As always, the image on the left is my version, and the image on the right is the original version. This is the part where I would go on a long yap session about my history/time on Gamejolt, but considering I'm on Bluesky right now, it wouldn't really resonate, so I'll just talk about the album itself.

Don't Take It Personal is a CLASSIC, and even beyond just the title track (which was a huge R&B hit back in the day), not a single song on the album is skippable, and this album had 10 SONGS worth 4-5 minutes each! Nowadays, albums feel so bloated with forgettable 2-minute-long filler songs because the singers/musicians try to promote their hit single in it without actually fully cooking the album itself. THIS is an album that has a hit single, but it can actually back up that hit with equally good/enjoyable songs. My personal favorites in the album (besides the title track) are "So Right" and "Two Ships (In the Night)", those are BANGERS!!! There's a reason I called the album amazing earlier, it's legit quality over quantity. But yeah, I hope you all enjoy this drawing (and the album as well, PLEASE check it out!)! I might be radio silent for a while, but it's ONLY because I'm trying to brainstorm ideas for what to draw for FNAF's 11th anniversary! Take care y'all!

It's no secret that I've been on a bit of a hiatus these past couple of months, and I don't really have an excuse for it, it just is what it is. With that in mind, I hope you enjoy this recreation of Joe Sample's amazing 1978 album "Rainbow Seeker"!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Toy Freddy stands with his hands on his hips and eyes closed while a dark shadow overtakes his right side. A faint rainbow-like outline also appears on his right side. Behind him is a grainy background that's darker on its right side too. The text above Toy Freddy reads "TOY FREDDY • RAINBOW SEEKER".

Like always, my version of the album cover is on the left while the original album cover is on the right.

I feel like this album best represents me currently, because sometimes it's hard to really seek something so wonderful, but like everything in life, love and hope can make anything work. Maybe this drawing might spark the passion again, who knows? But regardless, I hope you all love both this drawing AND the album itself! PLEASE go give it a listen, it features some of the best piano work I've ever heard. Before I head on out, I'd like to conclude with a quote originally stated by Mr. Joe Sample himself on the back of the album cover:

"As I near the next decade of my life, and reflect on the past, I realize there are many stops along the way. Too frequently those stops were islands in the rain. It was the melodies of love that my family taught me and inspired the discipline to dream and work for a meaningful life. In all my wildest dreams, I never dreamed I could feel and touch that life now, today. I learned that I could not make it alone, because together we'll find a way if we are stones in an everlasting pyramid. Fly with wings of love for the rest of your life. As long as it lasts, I am a rainbow seeker. If you seek the rainbow, you'll find it."

HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY FADEL (@gamescage.bsky.social)!!!

For those unaware, Fadel's a really fantastic YouTuber who's also a huge Sonic & FNAF fan, and to celebrate his birthday like I did last year, here's some new art! Enjoy guys, sorry for being gone a while!

#sonic #fivenightsatfreddys #fnaf

Fadel's sona (the guy with the purple Saiyan hair, sunglasses, and hoodie) is sitting on a chair while crossing his arms, and Sonic's behind him crossing his arms too! Behind them both, you can see Starlight Speedway and a major assortment of FNAF characters.

I believe in skies forever blue...

It's been one CRAZY week for me, but I finally got some new art to share! Here's a remake of a drawing I made back in 2020, starring Paula and a Purple Pikmin!

All that I needed (was you)...

#mother #earthbound #pikmin

Paula (the girl with the blonde hair and pink dress) is holding a Purple Pikmin while in front of a fountain, with two rainbows surrounding said fountain. At the very top of the fountain, a glowing light shines through. On the left of the drawing, a white rectangle with a heart at the top of it displays light gradient text, reading stuff like "MOTHER", "all that I needed was you", and "wisdom of the world".

Alongside the drawing itself, I've also added a commentary piece to it, showing the original drawing I made that inspired this remake!

So uh... Man it's been a minute. Yeah I'm not even gonna lie, these past couple of weeks have been CRAZY for me, and I'm not even saying that like "oh I procrastinated badly" (well, that was kinda it too), I mean I had to deal with NEARLY 3 WHOLE DAYS OF THE POWER BEING OUT. No, I'm not kidding. On Monday night, my local neighborhood's transformer (no not THAT kind of transformer) caught on fire and we had to basically conserve as much power as possible. We couldn't eat anything from the fridge/freezer, none of the lights worked, we couldn't charge anything, the shower only had cold water, we couldn't microwave anything, it was hot as hell, etc. It was an absolute mess, though thankfully it came back at around 1:00 AM Wednesday, so everything's good now. But I was working on this drawing for a good while, so you could imagine how it felt not even being able to finish it during that time. But now onto a more positive note, let's talk about the drawing itself!

I have a personal soft spot for this drawing. Like Earthbound/MOTHER and Pikmin itself, it just reminds me of when I was younger and had more innocence of the world around me. 2020 was a dark time in my/other people's life (for obvious reasons), but this drawing just gave me hope (a GARDEN of hope, if you will) that things would get better, and to be fair, things DID get better, but of course it took a while. I've had a bit of an epiphany recently regarding my art, so consider this remake a new change in direction, at least until I can reach the point where I can make new drawings consistently. All in all, hope you guys love this one, sorry for the long wait but at this point, it's just who I am. And I wouldn't change it one bit.

I can't help it...

So Secret of the Mimic came out yesterday and legit, it's become my second favorite FNAF game of all time! To give it some love, here's a recreation of Michael Jackson's ICONIC 1979 album "Off the Wall"!

BURN THIS DISCO OUT!!!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

The Mimic's grinning while wearing a black-and-white tuxedo, with his hands by his pelvis. Behind him is a brick background with a sky-like window on the right (at least I THINK it's a window, maybe it's a mirror?).

As always, the image on the left is MY version, and the image on the right is the original.

There's a REASON songs from Off the Wall are still being played in cookouts and parties to this day. Even the people who hate on disco can't bring themselves to say anything bad about the album! It was a classic back then and it DAMN sure is a classic today. Not a SINGLE song from it is skippable in any way. You got the signature "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" that you've probably already heard like 50+ times at this point, the chill groove of "Rock with You", the pure adrenaline that is "Get on the Floor", and my personal favorite, the song equivalent of a warm Friday afternoon shower, "I Can't Help It". It's got something for everyone, and I want this drawing to have that same feel-good energy. Apologies for being offline so long, but I hope y'all love this one!

Happy Pride Month everybody! To celebrate, here's an ESPECIALLY colorful drawing featuring Lolbit, Dee Dee, and Mendo! This is a remake of a drawing I made back in 2022, and MAN have I gotten better since then!

Love whoever you want and be ever wonderful.

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #Pride

Lolbit, Dee Dee, and Mendo are all standing in front of a rainbow cloud wireframe-like background. Lolbit's holding the non-binary flag, Dee Dee's holding the progress and lesbian flag, and Mendo's holding the gay and trans flag. Boggled text on the bottom reads "BE EXTRA FUNKY AND COOL!", while the text on the top left reads "HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!".

I know I draw these 3 a LOT but can you really blame me? It's not JUST because I like them though, this drawing in particular is actually a remake of a drawing I made back in 2022 (the drawing on the right to be exact)! While the drawing didn't actually come out during THAT year's Pride Month (it was an early December drawing), I still wanted to rework it since it's a drawing I've always been proud of even back then. I gotta say, I've REALLY improved since then! All in all, I hope everyone loves this little drawing of mine, but before I go, I wanna leave y'all with a positive message.

Never give up. I know the world may seem scary right now with all the anti LGBTQ+ laws being passed and bigoted politicians denying people's right to exist, but I believe in you. I believe in every single one of you. I also believe in love, and love conquers all. As long as you have someone close to you that you can hold tight and embrace, that's all you really need. We've all been through stormy weather before, but a little rain could never dry out a rainbow. We got this y'all, I KNOW we do.

Take me through the night...

To end May on a strong note, here's a cool recreation of Howard Johnson's JAMMIN' 1982 album, "Keepin' Love New", starring Mr. Mouse! Hope everyone loves it!

Credit to Mr. Mouse's original creator is in the alt text below!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Mr. Mouse has his hands tucked into his pants while having a "cheesy" look on his face. Now you may be wondering "who's Mr. Mouse?"? Well to give you a little context, Mr. Mouse is a character originally designed and drawn by a FNAF fan named Cody (shout-out to you Cody!). In a video made by the FNAF YouTuber Weirdos Speed titled "Turning YOUR Drawings Into FNAF Animatronics", Mr. Mouse was one of the submitted drawings!

Using Weirdo's version of Mr. Mouse as a reference, I then drew the drawing you see above! You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZjLRLTmXxc&t=204s. I wanted to really do him justice, so Cody, if you're somehow reading this, all credit and love go to you dude! Much love and appreciation also goes out to Weirdos Speed, his Mr. Mouse model was IMMACULATE and really helped me shape this drawing up to be as good as it is!

As always, left is MY version of the album, and right is the ORIGINAL album.

Keepin' Love New is an album I just absolutely LOVE, there's genuinely not a single song on that album that is a skip or even just mediocre. Of course, while it's most famous for its absolute smash hit "So Fine", there's a lot of other gems on it that just didn't get the attention they deserved, just like Mr. Howard Johnson himself. I hope you guys check it out and see just what I mean, it's PEAK early 80s boogie music. Overall, hope you guys love this one, I'm quite proud of how it turned out and I can't WAIT to see what I cook up for June!

Hey guys, I'm happy to announce that I'm officially done with my semester! As a gift from me to you (and to tide y'all over while I work on bigger drawings), here's a goofy little recreation I made of that one Garfield meme, starring Toy Freddy! Enjoy!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #meme

Toy Freddy looks at a big sign depicting himself with a big red cross-out symbol attached to him. Below the sign, a caption reads "Huh. I wonder who that's for.".

This is just a side-by-side of MY version of the meme (left) next to the original version of the meme (right).

Happy (SUPER Belated) Mother's Day everybody! It's been such a difficult week and a half for me, but I PROMISED y'all I was gonna get this done. Enjoy this drawing I made of Ballora and her little Minireena's, alongside the return of Art Evolution!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #mothersday

Ballora has yellow glowing eyes under a moonlit sky, while her 4 Minireenas surround her. I wanna seriously apologize for drawing this SO late, originally I was planning on drawing something on time for Mother's Day, and I had a whole concept set up and everything. Well unfortunately, 3 things conspired that day to completely delay all of my plans.

One, there was a whole crazy-ass situation on Gamejolt that I had to take care of (it's a long story but thankfully everything has been resolved). Two, as I started to draw Ballora, I didn't realize just how DETAILED she was in comparison to everyone else I've drawn (she's tied with Nightmare Fredbear and Molten Freddy for being the 3 hardest characters I've ever had to draw), so it was deadass a JOURNEY to look for reference material, design her outfit, AND I was basically drawing her entirely from scratch since I didn't really have a "base" to use, and considering my old designs of her... Yikes (the Minireenas were actually pretty easy, probably because they're so small and simplistic). Lastly, I also just had another bad case of procrastination and college work I had to take care of (thankfully my semester's just about over, but still). All in all, the stars didn't align that day for real (though I DID have a wonderful Mother's Day with my mom, so at least that was a bonus).

But despite all that, I DID make a promise to draw something for the day, so that's what I did here (only took me like 9 days...)! I hope y'all still like it! Hopefully (no promises though), I can FINALLY start to get on a proper groove and make art consistently like my golden days.

Just so that everyone is on the same page, Art Evolution is this thing I do where I show off all of my past designs of a character and then compare them to how the character looks currently.

Redesigning Ballora and Minireena was genuinely a journey in every sense of the word. Back in 2023, I drew them both for THAT year's Mother's Day, and at the time I was pretty proud of how they looked, but looking back on it now... UGH. For starters, Ballora's legs were WAY too long, she looked too human and just overall had a scuffed feel to her, and the less I say about Minireena the better.

Fast forward to 2024, and they both got a BIG glow-up. Now they actually RESEMBLE their designs in the official games and Ballora especially looks quite upgraded. That being said though, the skirt was pretty ugly and her ears were WAY too big. There's also the bikini being worn despite her already wearing a shirt? I got nothing much to say about Minireena, she's just been objectively improved upon (and I don't even LIKE to use that word but it's the truth). Overall, a definite improvement, but they could still use some work.

As of 2025, THIS is my current Ballora and Minireena design and... Damn, talk about the improvement of the CENTURY. Where do I even begin? Ballora has gotten a whole new hairstyle with a tiara to boot, her outfit has been absolutely revamped to look more fancy-like, and her proportions are now ACTUALLY defined without it being too amateurish or extra! Minireena is MOSTLY the same, though she now has a better-looking hairstyle, her proportions have been made fully robotic to match Ballora, and her skirt got an upgrade. All in all, she just got more detailed, I was already pretty satisfied with her previous design. But yeah, I'm genuinely so proud of how much my art has improved over the years, I went from scuffed to TOUGH!

Baby, don't break your baby's heart...

Featuring Toy Freddy, here's another tribute to Kashif, this time recreating his AWESOME 1984 album "Send Me Your Love"! Once again this is another album I HIGHLY recommend you check out!

That's how it goes...

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Toy Freddy's wearing a red long-sleeved shirt with some black pants while resting his hand to his head. If this outfit looks familiar, then that's because it's basically the exact same outfit Old Candy wore in the previous drawing of Kashif's previous album, just red. I didn't wanna just draw Old Candy again since that would be lazy of me, so I decided to have Toy Freddy be the focus for this drawing since red perfectly fits his vibe!

While I personally prefer Kashif's previous album (the one where he was wearing blue on the album cover) to this one, make no mistake: This STILL has a bunch of bangers in it! Songs like "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart" and "I've Been Missin' You" have some HEAVY playtime on my playlist! Sorry that this isn't really a HUGE drawing or anything, this is more so just something I personally made for my own fulfillment (and to also honor Kashif again!), so consider this a bit of a fun side-project! Enjoy y'all, make sure to check this album out too, I PROMISE you won't regret it!

I just GOTTA have you...

Featuring Old Candy, here's a pretty neat recreation of the late and great Kashif's 1983 debut album! I genuinely can't stress enough how FANTASTIC this album is, PLEASE go give it a listen!

Stone love...

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Old Candy's looking up while wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt with some extra-detailed black pants to boot! Normally, this isn't what my actual Old Candy redesign looks like, but since I wanted to REALLY do Kashif justice, I made him look as accurate to the original album cover as possible, i.e, wearing the same outfit Kashif did.

For those of you who don't know, Kashif was a singer/songwriter/producer who not only helped to create a BUNCH of hits from the 80s (like Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Love Come Down", Howard Johnson's "So Fine", Whitney Houston's "You Give Good Love", etc), but also made albums of his own, with THIS one in particular being a personal fan favorite of mine. Tragically, he passed away in 2016, but to this day I STILL jam to all the songs and albums he helped make.

I genuinely can't express enough how much I LOVE this album, there's deadass not a single skippable song in it. The bangers bang, the soul souls, the ballads ballad, it's all just so PEAK! Please, whenever you're free, PLEASE listen to this album! I PROMISE you it'll be worth it! Kashif's legacy deserves to be remembered, and I hope this drawing was able to convince y'all. Have a wonderful day everybody!

Oh my gosh I'm SO sorry for replying so late to this, but thank you so much! Everyone always redesigns Mendo to be a mechanic so I wanted to do something different and give him a surfer feel you know? Glad it paid off though, hope you have a great afternoon!

Hey everybody, today I've decided to draw something a bit different than usual! Recently, I had the pleasure of playing a new FNAF World fangame called FNAF World Refreshed, made by the AWESOME Pyturret! To celebrate the game's launch, enjoy this promo art I've made!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Lolbit, Dee Dee, and Mendo are all standing in front of a grass field, with a wide rainbow in the background and an especially bright sunlight. Normally, I don't USUALLY draw stuff like this for FNAF fangames unless I really, really, REALLY like it, but I can absolutely tell you right here and now that this game is the TRUTH.

But, I wouldn't be singing all this praise and glaze if it wasn't true, so as an extra bonus, I've posted a full review of the game to my Gamejolt account, which you can read here: https://gamejolt.com/p/hey-everyone-for-the-first-time-ever-i-m-doing-something-i-ve-nev-sztrkscp.

More than anything though, I dedicate this drawing to Pyturret and everyone else who worked on FNAF World Refreshed. They've made a legitimately fantastic game and I want them to get the flowers they deserve you know? Hope y'all like the drawing, and y'all should go check the game out on Game Jolt, ALSO linked here: https://gamejolt.com/games/FWrefreshed/946129. Happy adventuring everybody!

Happy Autism Acceptance Month everybody! To celebrate, I've drawn Dee Dee! I wanna apologize for posting this SO late into April, but I hope it's at least still valid! Don't ever let the typicals stop you from being the best rainbow you can be.

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #autismacceptancemonth

Dee Dee is clasping her hands together while presenting a rainbow infinity sign, the symbol for the autism community. Behind her is a mountain partially submerged in the ocean, an outline of a rose, and a rainbow. On the top, the text reads "Happy Autism Acceptance Month!" and "RainGlow". On the bottom left, rainbow-colored text reads "I like you just the way you are".

Last year on my Gamejolt and DeviantArt page, I posted something for Autism Acceptance Month and I was SO proud of how it turned out (that being said I also acknowledge that it hasn't aged all too well, ESPECIALLY with the proportions). This year, I was expecting to do the same exact thing, but college legit took up ALL of my time and I wasn't able to actually GET to drawing what I wanted to draw. I originally intended for this drawing to be MUCH bigger with way more characters, but in the end I realized it was straight-up unfeasible to draw EVERYTHING before the end of the month, so I had to stick with only Dee Dee here. I REALLY wanna apologize for taking the entire month to get this done, it's not even my best work but I made a promise to myself that I WOULD make something for Autism Acceptance Month before April ended, so yeah, kind of a crappy set of circumstances but I still got by.

With all of that being said though, I hope you all still love this drawing! It's not my best work but it serves its purpose and I wanted to at least fulfill my personal quota of 6 drawings a month you know? No matter what, you deserve to be loved and appreciated, and if the typicals can't see that, then you gotta be the best rainbow they've ever seen. Be forever wonderful, and I hope you all had a fantastic Autism Acceptance Month!

Everyone else sees the world in black and white, but you see the world as a rainbow. A rainglow, if you will.

It's a bit chilly outside, why don't we... Break the ice?

I've been obsessed with Sonic the Fighters lately, so here's some cool art featuring GamerJoob's FNAF OC Patrick the Polar Bear! Sorry that I've been gone for a while, but I hope y'all love this one!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #sonic

Patrick is standing in a huge snowy landscape while holding a huge light blue Chaos Emerald. The text on the top right part of the screen reads in order "PATRICK THE POLAR BEAR", "AURORA ICEFIELD", and "BREAKIN' THE ICE!". On the bottom right, a quote from Patrick says "I'm too cool to fool".

Just for further context, Patrick the Polar Bear is a FNAF OC made by the YouTuber GamerJoob as part of his series called "What Needs to Be in FNAF", where he basically creates characters and explains how they could tie into the official games. All credit goes to GameJoob for making Patrick, and I highly recommend you check out his content!

Happy Easter everybody! Apologies for being a bit late to the party, but to celebrate, I've drawn Freddy, BB, and JJ all having some vintage fun! It's been a bit of a chaotic week for me, but I hope this at least brightens up your day!

#fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #Easter

This is a pretty loaded drawing so let me try to explain everything: Freddy, BB, and JJ are posing alongside a bunch of bunnies and Easter eggs (with a Frutiger Aero background to boot), and they're all positioned in the frame of Windows 98's MS Paint program.

Honestly, I wanted to go for a pretty comforting vibe when making this, since Easter's a day where everyone should just get together and have fun! Whether you celebrate the holiday religiously or not, I really hope y'all like this drawing! Let me know if you guys want future drawings to have this vibe!
