Long Year.

It's been a very long difficult year since my last birthday.

Last year around this time, I was streaming regularly on twitch, then something happened. It really messed me up and it took a long time for me to even draw again. It's not been all doom n' gloom though, I've been able to reconnect with a friend, whose friendship I really cherish.

In the past few months, I've been drawing more and more, too! I'm also seeing a new psychiatrist, which I sincerely hope that it will help in the near future.

Happy — THIRTIETH — Birthday, or sumthin'

My birthday is creeping ever forward and I still have yet to come to grips with the fact that I'm going to be thirty years old. I don't think I ever imagined myself reaching that age. It's silly, but I can't help but seeing it as this big, inescapable thing that will wreck everything I had hope to accomplish before I ever reached that age.

There's an upside to that, I'm happily married.

It's been a short ride since I've actually decided to take the plunge and started to post art online. Of course, I've been doing so, with the expectation that I'll eventually build a fanbase and maybe things will go from there... But I think the boat has sailed on that one. I should be content with the fact that showing my art online makes me feel good and it's something that I'd do even if I'd be 'popular' online.

This whole post is sorta useless.

I guess I wanted to just say to those who actually look at my art and like it; a big and heartfelt thank you.

You'll see more of my art, I promise.

Hello, these are art-pieces which aren't of a high enough quality to be featured on their own. They were created when I participated in the #Bards4Bards challenge by JoCat105 (on Twatter) and I don't think they were ever featured in any of his videos, despite being properly tagged and I never received any confirmation about being received, despite them being properly sent.

HOWEVER, I will not impugn the quality of his character and I'll assume JoCat gave the money to charity.

Greetings everyone!

My user is hikiwa, but you can just call me hiki.

I'm a french-canadian ""artist"" who has just recently gone through a seven month hiatus. I'll be using Newgrounds mainly as a repository of all the work I've done, hopefully I'll be able to get back into drawing full-time soon. Also, I'm fleeing Twitter, as I've been shadow banned for drawing boobs.. So yeah. Fun stuff.

I'm happily married to my wife Kristen and we have a dog (Mabel) and a cat (Doctor Who).

We both don't want any human children.

I used to stream, I'd like to think that I'll be able to return to streaming soon.

Other stuff about me...

When I was 18yo, I was told that I wouldn't be able to walk anymore, but I'm now 29 and although I suffer from a lot of back pain and I also have mobility issues, I'm happy to report that I can still walk. With a cane. Which is something good.

I went to school to learn 3d animation... and all I got from that, was disappointment. Okay, for real, after I got my diploma, I begun drawing on my tablet waaaay more, which is why I even have pieces to show people.

I love video games, my earliest drawings were technically fanart from games I'd play on the SNES and the N64. I'd like to think that one day I'll work in the video game industry...

I think that wraps it up.

My goals on Newgrounds is to make some artist friends and more importantly; find people who would be willing to give me some pointers and help me become a better artist.

Here is me dressed up as Hatsune Miku that I drew;

Here's a few other drawings that I can't really post on their own, due to quality issue and the like.

Those asked and picked on the twatter.
