As of today, I am discontinuing & removing Japan Empire from my gallery. All illustrations of her will be purged, with no intentions of re-release or re-creation in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

Being a CountryHuman is no longer a sustainable excuse for me to comfortably draw JE without it brewing negative effects. I'm sure this news stings for quite a few who liked JE, but this change was inevitable given her controversial real world history. I've still got a passion to create unique designs for modern countries, present Japan included, but the worst baddie I'll draw is North Korea.

Having reached1K followers on Newgrounds with balloons.

I've got a 18+ Inflation Fetish Discord Server come join, and have a "fulfilling" time!

With how well CountryHumans USSR Wrath turned out, I have already begun working on my next SFM project. This scene will be familiar for those who watch @SrPelo so you'll know what you're in for when this is released.

Artwork Updates

You may've noticed I've posted no new drawings. This is because I'm updating older pieces like this most recent one. My standards for my art have changed, and getting the idea out doesn't cut it for me anymore. Expanding the depth of my art is my most important mission. My Third Reich artwork is also being changed to her new design which is less controversial while still maintaining her original vibe.

Long story short, I'm working on better art presentation, and started my next animation project.

Edit: Happy Pico Day >:)

Brand new video posted, proud, and satisfied! Happy to share with you all my first Newgrounds movie. This was quite a challenge for the last 4 months to get done, but I am very happy with the end result. I got to include some cameo features in the background, and I got to put my 3D animation skills to the test!

USSR Shenanigans 2 is finally complete, however two months after release, I had to censor it because YouTube age restricted it. Ironic considering the videos I edited this from aren't restricted, but honestly it shouldn't be. Swearing it not a war crime, and it shouldn't be.

I was making my contest entry for the Among Us Purple Imposter animation jam, however I couldn't make it in time. Not that I was nearly finished with it anyway. I think I stopped trying so hard after the 3rd when I realized I was just too ambitious with making the "perfect" story, and animation. If you're interested in a preview image, this is what it looked like. This scene takes place for the intro of the video. Now that I don't have to worry about deadlines I can work on it slowly but surely. Though it may be a while, since I'm slow with my work.

Nothing like spending an unnecessary amount of time overthinking a simple background just because you want it to be just right, and realizing those several hours could have been just 10 minutes if you weren't such a nitpick. 5 Hours, just to complete a single background that may only last 15 seconds in the final render.

I went through the effort of rebuilding the lobby in Minecraft just to take screenshots for 3D reference perspective, only to toss it out anyway, since it seemed too "3D like", and that looked ugly to me.

Trying to make the oh so special ice cream Sunday that's in my head, and applying it to drawing is a battle I just can't win. Why am I even trying so hard? I have no idea, since I know I'll be extremely critical for my first time 2D animation, and then a few years later I'll look back at this and be like "Man I can do so much better now."

Ya know, I'm just hopin' when I post this to Newgrounds that I'll look at this newpost afterward, and think I was paranoid.

I think of any form of creativity like sentences. You can write it normally without consideration of being grammatically correct. Does the lack of commas, or capitalization make the sentence unreadable? Of course not. If it's still English, and it's a language you understand then you will have made a legible letter. Albeit not professional, but legible, however that shouldn't stop you from trying. The little things even if you know that nobody will notice, or care as much as you do still matters. It's satisfying to perfect the crafts you love.

The many times I loathe doing shading, because it looks fine without it. The many times I am happy that I shaded it, because I know it looks better with it than without it.

I don't have any dignity, or honor in it I can tell ya that much HA, but do I take any pride in it? Yeah just a tad, and I enjoy making my ideas come to life. The r/CountryhumansCringe reddit sure seems to take a liking to my drawings, and it's the funniest stuff to me. Almost motivates me to make more ridiculous concepts for them to get upset over thinking I actually care to adhere to their gate keeping.

Though I don't see myself making a career out of drawing, so much as I see myself doing that with editing, and 3D animation. Don't get me wrong, I love drawing, but I definitely don't want to turn it into a job. It's a fun hobby for me, and I don't want to ruin that. If I ever do take commissions, I'll do it rarely, and I'd rather make that bread from my skills I take more seriously than I do with my artwork.

Anyways lads, I don't have much of a future planned with my drawings other than making more of them, and getting at the top of my fandoms search engine. But it's fun while it lasts, and I don't want to give up on this either. Cheers!

I near High School graduation, and I'm as confident as can be with presenting. I'm used to the life inside as is, so displaying my senior project will be a breeze. Tomorrow (Friday afternoon) I will be completing my final task to attend the ceremony, and receive my diploma. Achieving this feels more like a relief than something to be proud of. The last three years have not been my best performance, but have been the most difficult. My parents struggle together, my mother losing her strength, the family troubles, the constant pressure from school, a past relationship that ended bitter sweet, and having to take more responsibility than ever to keep my world going has exhausted my well being. In spite of my personal troubles, I have turned to my friends, hobbies, my significant other, and sibling to challenge myself, and remain sane as best I can. Many choices were made that I felt were mistakes, but others thought was right. As right as they were I still never wanted to make those decisions.

There's the little things online I've done too that were unnecessary, and done in the spur of the moment, but that taught me some too. I've got a lack of control over many things. It's really upsetting when things don't go the best possible way. I always try to act like everything is okay, and deny it every time I think to myself that it's not. The household I grew up in taught me to suck up a lot, and deal with problems up front without asking for help. Having to heavily rely on myself made it difficult to express my feelings, and learn who I am.

Mom, dad, I know you weren't the best, but you are my only mother and father. To my ex, I still don't know why you did that to him, but hopefully you call yourself stupid for doing it. To my teachers, I am glad you held out for me. To my current friends including the ones that I neglect to talk to all the time. Just sticking around means a lot to me. To my Taekwando master, I do apologize for neglecting to do the regular exercise lately.

Already getting self-conscious about saying too much.

TL;DR I'm worn out, and I am grateful to be where I am. I made it, so thank you very much.
