Legend has it, you can watch and play thousands of videos and games... FOR FREE

Just gotta let the world know I have the coolest boss at my day job. Gave me this Redbox kiosk for free!

I was able to bypass the internal boot sequence and start it in safe mode, but it's pretty much locked down unless I reinstall windows or linux, but I don't want to wipe anything. Has important drivers and such, like the touchscreen, and probably code to run the internal servo motors.

I tried some workarounds from a discord group that is repurposing the kiosks, but most of it wasn't working for me. Can't even bring up the task manager even though I reenabled it using regedit. That, and it crashes shortly after booting into normal mode with the boot environment overrode with explorer.exe. Oh well, besides that everything is in good condition and still functions outside the actual Redbox software side of things.

The screen has both VGA and DVI inputs, and luckily I had an old DVI-to-HDMI cable lying around. Hooks up to the Steamdeck just fine, and looks amazing! Basically an instant arcade cabinet with a wireless controller.

Eventually I wanna do some kind of project with it, maybe an arcade cabinet, some kind of digital jukebox, A giant PC tower with RGB lights, or SOMETHING. In any case, it's gonna be stuck out it the garage for a while, so I'm hesitant to put a different PC in there.

Plus, there's no room in the house right now, so having any practical use is out of the question. It'll be winter soon, and I ain't gonna freeze standing out in the garage later this year. Just gonna have to clean it up and keep it safe until I have a good plan for it.

But man, this thing is cool.

Haven't drawn as much as I'd like this year (busy with work, and having a little artistic burnout lately), but here's a bunch of doodles since the last dump!

I post a LOT of doodles on twitter, but they usually don't make their way over here since I like to keep my uploads mainly finished work that I've spent a decent amount of time on.

Anyways, here's a handful of doodle pages from the last couple months! Enjoy!

aka, sorry for the art spam! Did some art for followers on twitter, and figured I'd upload them all in one go.

11 artwork in 4 days. Not too shabby

Newgrounds Requests:

Twitter Requests:

Thanks to all of those that left requests while I had them open! I'm glad I was able to draw some new things for people, and hopefully put a smile on a few faces while doing so. I'll have to hold another one of these later on at another milestone when I'm up for it! It's always a load of fun drawing characters I'd normally not get the chance to!

UPDATE: As of writing this, I've decided to do two more existing requests, of which I've already picked out. One from twitter, and one from Newgrounds, to make a total of six request illustrations completed when I'm done. (3 for each site)

When I finish these last two, I'll mark this as 'ENDED', and make a new post containing all six pieces.

I wanna thank everyone who took the time to leave a suggestion, and say that it's been really fun drawing characters that I'd normally not get the chance to draw.

Alright, since I've hit 220 followers, and 350 over on Twitter, this time I'm bringing back the art request event over here too! If there's anything you've wanted to see in my style, or an OC you have, feel free to suggest it down in the comments! 👍

This is for anyone who's following me on either site, since it's a good way to say "thanks for sticking around". It means a lot that so many of you enjoyed my art in one way or another.

If you want in, you know what to do ☝

• Only a couple things to keep in mind:
• No nsfw, or real-life photos.
• I'll prioritize human characters, but simple mecha/robots are good too.
• Finished art will be posted here, twitter, and ko-fi. If it's an OC, I'll either tag you, or give credit in the description.
• Reference images would be helpful!
• -- If your character is in your Newgrounds gallery, just let me know.
• -- If it's from a game, show, or series, just put their name, and what they're from.

Don't worry if I've drawn for you before, or if it's a character I've done already in the past, it's all good! This is all done for fun anyways. It's an excuse to draw a variety of things to improve my art, and to interact with you all more since I'm a quiet person, ahaha.

There's no money or anything involved, I just want to have fun and draw some things for people. So if I don't get around to drawing something, you don't lose anything by leaving a suggestion. You can just use the comments below, no need for DMs if you don't feel like it. I'm also running this on twitter, so don't fret if I don't get back to you since I can't reply to everyone.

Since I have a day job (even if it is just part-time), there might be some delay between posts. I'm not putting a deadline for this event, but I'll let people know when I've decided that it's over. You can just check the post title, and if it has a "(ended)" at the end, then you'll know what's up.

Edit: Done!

Sort of a slow start art-wise this year, since I decided to work on a bigger fanart illustration of G Gundam. Haven't tried to make something of this scale since 2020, 'cause it just takes so much longer than just a singular character.

Been posting wips of this on twitter since I started this on the 5th, but figured I'd share a little something over here too.

(here's a link to the tweet, since this image is so tiny for some reason)

Blue lines are what I haven't inked yet, so I have 25 little character to ink left, before heading on to color and rendering. 27 characters in total, and three gundams. Probably my most ambitious illustration yet in my opinion!

Just using my overly large watermark as a placeholder for now, since something else will go there after the inking process. Drawing this at 8k because my brain is dumb, and thought it was a good idea, ahahaha. I'll probably upload it at 1080p though, just because I tend to keep full resolutions for myself.

Hope the new year is treating you all well so far!

Held a small event over on twitter, where I'd draw peoples suggestions and ended up drawing ten of them before I decided to call it good and end the event. I hope to do another event like this in the future, and open it up to you all over here on Newgrounds too!

Turns out skipping the lineart refining process I usually do saved me a lot of time. Usually takes me two days to finish something, instead of two in one day!

I know some of the colors could be a little better, as I was limited on time, but as for the line art, thoughts? I feel like I'm too picky with line quality, so some of these I'd deem a bit rough around the edges. I'd love to hear if everything looks alright, as I might end up trying to be a little looser with my lines if I can keep up the speed
