My original webcomic, Gauntlet and Halo, turns 7 today! Old as hell!

That comic helped me rapidly improve my artstyle over time. It was definitely rough, sloppy, and frankly kinda sucked, but I'll never regret working on it!

Here's a rough idea of the evolution of my art during the comic's run!
Some of the original art of Layl from Gauntlet and Halo. During this time, I used a weird rainbow outline effect for some reason. Kinda neat! A battle damaged Layl from Gauntlet and Halo. Another battle damaged Layl from later on. You can see the improvements being made over these art pieces. The final Layl art I have to share for today. She's in space, surrounded by broken rubble with her cool sword. The art has dramatically improved, as you can see. Honestly she looks pretty cool!

Last night I ranked (pretty much) every single jumpscare in FNAF!

Here's the final result, and if you're curious, yes, a couple were perhaps influenced by chat donations. Maybe.

If you want to see the reasoning, watch this!

youtu.be/0rdBsECY4fM?...
A tier list for almost every jumpscare in FNAF! Look, I'd love to type out every single tier, but it's like 244 animatronics, so I'd recommend you just check out the stream VOD instead.

I just went through and updated the logos / icons for CCHC on WebToons, Tapas, and Tumblr! It isn't much, just makes it a little more interesting and eye catching, hopefully.

I also updated the WebToons Thumbnails to match the Tapas ones!

...that's it. Just trying to make it all more interesting!
The updated CCHC Logo for WebToons. It features CRISS and CROSS posed around the CCHC Logo. The palette is a green to match WebToon's site. The updated CCHC Logo for Tapas.

Art from 2020 VS Now!

#art #digitalart #thenandnow
A simple image, to which I wish I had the credit for, that simply reads "Art at the beginning of COVID" on a white background. An image drawn by GD in early 2020, featuring the protagonist "Layl" from his first webcomic "Gauntlet and Halo." She wears jeans and a red top that was designed after a ribbon. Over her shoulders is a translucent jacket with black hearts on it. She sits sideways in a grass-covered hilly area, the sun shining down behind her. She also wears light pink lipstick. A simple image, to which I ALSO wish I had the credit for, that simply reads "Vs. Now!" on a white background. GD's most recent art piece, featuring SOUL from CRISS CROSS HEART CONNECTION in a one piece swimsuit, a radiant sunset behind her. The color palette is that of a sunset, as CCHC uses limited color palettes in its art.
