Heyo, not sure if anyone reads these update posts, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out here.

I am coming up on some stuff ending and potentially getting a lot more free time. Well more that the free time that I already have dedicated to certain things is gonna be freed up to be even freer time that I can choose to do something else with. I want to do some work with 3D since I have been quietly experimenting with that in the background whenever my EXTRA free time (not the free time I have been dedicating to other stuff already) allowed it. I also want to make up some more sticker designs for my friend's store (check it out for real tho, there are other artists on there and I really like a lot of their stuff) but some designs that are fully my own and not just sticker designs for JIGGLERS stuff.

Wonder what kind of stickers I could make that people would like? Let me know if you have any ideas! I think I wanna make a few for halloween, that'd be cool. Creepy-cute, or maybe not themed just like regular ol' designs people might wanna get. Or maybe yes in fact themed and have a full set of whatever thing? That could be cool too.

Anyway the point of the post was to go over the JIGGLERS project stuff I wanna do. It's been a few months and I kinda wanna make up a whole bunch of new promo material, draw up maybe alternate JIGGLERS outfits that people could use instead of the standard but still keep them all sorta standardized (if that makes sense). I also want to get people excited that the designs will be made into stickers by the end of it since that wasn't the intention of the initial project but I'm happy it turned out that it could be made into something cool and physical and in the real world and people could buy em and it was just really cool. So definitely whatever new designs come in for sure gonna do more stickers for them (provided my friend is cool with that ((he is gonna be cool with that, I guess this is just how I talk lol))) but I don't want people to think I'm stealing their characters and whatever so I'll be up front with that since that is officially gonna be the plan going into it this time.

ANYWAY AGAIN, I feel a pull to do more JIGGLERS stuff but not sure yet how to go forward with it. Should I do it annually? Twice a year? I could split it up into JIGGLERS Summer and JIGGLERS "Classic" for Winter or something like that idk. I'd like to say I could keep the projects open all the time and get to drawing everyone's characters year round but probably wouldn't be able to even though that does sound fun/cool. Plus the idea of getting burnout on an idea like JIGGLERS that I really enjoy is the worst thing I can think of doing to myself. Kinda too late to do a Summer version anyway so might just do it annually and work on other stuff in the meantime. Maybe I could do some other project that is similar? Some people suggested "I'll draw your character in a maid uniform" or "bunny suit" as a thing I should try too.

Maybe that's what I'll do. No stickers, just something to keep my hands practiced on drawing Minis of other people's characters and stuff. Could be cool. Who knows?

But yeah, just wanted to kinda put my feelings out there. Helps to write stuff out sometimes to figure things out. If you wanna say something or you got some thoughts you are welcome to comment on the post or if you wanna make it private send me a DM. Kinda curious what people think. But again I'm not sure how many people read these, I typically skip 'em when looking through people's art that I follow.

Oh and I wanna do another Speeddraw for the next JIGGLERS project like I did for the first one. Imma try to embed it but I'm just copying and pasting some stuff so maybe it won't do nuffin'.

Oh and here's the thread that was the home for the initial JIGGLERS project

Alright okay thanks BYYYYEEEE

Fantasy Contest going on over on twitter (NG too?)

So I am running another contest on twitter. This one's theme is "Fantasy", so draw one of my characters with some fantastical idea in mind. All the details of the contest can be found on twitter and on an NG post I used to just dump the promotional art.

So now I have a question... Is there a way that people on NG can participate directly here (if they feel so inclined)? I'd hate to direct people to another site just to participate but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to set something like this up for people to join in on. I'm not looking for something I need approval for (which I think you would need to do something like this on the forum) and I don't wanna take over an entire tag for the art portal or anything like that.

So if you have any idea how people could potentially enter in on the NG side without needing to post entries over on twitter let me know in a comment under this news post. If a good idea comes up I'll update the description on the art post and make another news post so that people can know how to join in.

Alright that's about it. Join in if you like to, otherwise be sure to check out the contest entries that do get posted!

Hey I'm selling stickers now on my friend's site! You can check out the details in my art post.

I talked him into giving all the artists that contributed their character to the JIGGLERS project (which are the stickers he's making selling for me) a free gift if they send proof that they are someone who participated along with their order to the store email. SO PLEASE do get your free bonus stickers if you are gonna buy anything and you participated!

That's about it. I'd like to do more/different stickers and stuff in the future so if you have an idea of another Project I could do where people can participate like in the JIGGLERS project leave a reply/comment/whatever its called on this site. I think it would really cool going into a project knowing that there are gonna be stickers coming out at the end of it!

Oh and...

Actual JIGGLERS shirts would be baller AF so... keeping that personal dream alive!

Quick Little Idea

I did a couple of these outfit ideas for clothes that Bianca would never wear but might be forced to wear by some outside malevolent force. I wanna draw some more tho but coming up with outfit ideas is tough. So I figured I'd outsource it to you, the people.

So...

The pic basically explains it all. Use the base I made, draw on some outfit that you think she'd look cute in, then if I like the idea I do a drawing of Bianca wearing it. That's about it. Send your version to me through a PM here on NG or over on my twitter where I'm gonna have a post asking for the same thing. Idk, maybe if I get enough good drawings out of this I'll turn it into an art portal post or something with your reference and my final art of it.

(Here's the base all by itself for you to draw on)

(Don't be gross about this. It's a fun idea for fun.)

The final line-up of all the JIGGLERS Minis has been completed and uploaded. It was quite a bit of work and I thank everyone who contributed to making my idea into some kinda idea thing that is more than just an idea... that I can share!

(Super small blurry sucky version)

The final line-up is SUPER big so I cannot properly post it in this news post without it being compressed to the point of not being able to make anything out. But there is an Art portal post that you can check out with the full sized Line-up along with some alternate versions, as well as each of the individual Minis included all in one convenient place!

For anyone unfamiliar with this JIGGLERS project there is plenty for you to catch up on, including;

• JIGGLERS Onboarding Brochure
• JIGGLERS Art Forum Thread
• Kiki JIGGLERS Promo 1
• Kiki Valentine/JIGGLERS Promo 2

Also, I did a timelapse of my entire process which I uploaded to Youtube

featuring music from NG user X-MC-X as a backing track, check him out!

It was a lot of work to do a project like this but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I may do something like this again in the future, who knows? If you are the type to comment on news posts, let me know what you think of the whole project. Would you want to get in on the theoretical next project like this? Did you miss out because you didn't know about it but totally would have? Do you have an idea for some kind of theme for the next project like this?

Lemme know!

Summary

I'm working on doing a sort of large scale collaboration/project/asking people online to draw my idea. The details can all be seen in my art post, but the gist of the idea is for people to draw their OCs in a theme restaurant uniform, and that theme restaurant is known as Jigglers... so you can kinda guess the theme the place is going for.

Minis!

Just like the image below lays out I am dedicating myself to drawing a Mini version of every OC anyone draws in a Jigglers uniform by the 20th of February (This may be limited to 1 character per artist, and probably will be). Then I'll post a great big line-up of all the Minis in their Jigglers get-ups for all to see and enjoy!

Where?

Originally this project was just gonna be another twitter thing, but since I am posting it here too it only makes sense to include a place here for people to participate if they want. Currently there is an Art Forum Thread where I think would be best for people to post their Jigglers girls to make sure that I see it. You could also check it out on Twitter and, so long as you at least tag me in your post, it should be just as easy to participate there too. I would also like to encourage you check out the Art Post here on NG to see the full size introductory brochure and understand a bit about the Jigglers™ brand and the incredibly deep lore of this silly idea.

Hope to see you participate

Already have a few people's OCs Minified and posted in the Forum thread and on Twitter

Check them out!

-Thanks for reading!

(Posting this just in case anyone that follows me hadn't seen I figured I'd make a News Post about the project I am doing over the next month until February 20th.)

New (Old) Comics

I recently posted a few old comics here on NG. They are all old but nothing totally ancient. Most of them were pretty rough so I opted for them not to appear in the portal. I just wanted to put links to them out there though a news post so if people wanted to see them they could get the chance without them just slipping by.

Looking for Voice Actress(es)

Also a little thing that came to mind recently was that I wanted to try getting some people who do voices to maybe voice one or a few of my characters. That way I could possibly put together an animatic or animate some lip-sync or do a dubbed version of a comic. I do not have any solid plans for what EXACTLY I would do but if I find an awesome voice actress fit for Kiki or Casey or whoever then I'm sure I could put something together that would be really fun. So if you think you could do a voice for any of my characters (here's my gallery) send me a message! Or if you know someone who you think might do a good job and wants to try out voice acting, refer them to me so that maybe we can make something happen.

Thanks for reading!

Doing a little contest over on Twitter

Head over there if you feel like participating. All the rules and specifics are under the linked OP. All participants get a sketch request and winner gets a full pic or animation.

Hey NG people, I recently did a poll on what character my followers would like to ask questions to. The winner of the poll ended up being Bianca!

If you want to participate I'm doing the whole deal over on twitter, so head over there if you have questions to ask.

Woohoo!
