It's important that you read the entire post, you must take into account everything that is said here before posting your reply as it will increase your chances of being noticed. Thank you.

I love cars, I love road trips, and I love drawing people's OCs.

Ever wonder what your OC would look like driving? What car they'd be driving? What kinda place they'd be driving in? When they'd be driving? What they'd be doing whilst driving? How'd they feel doing it? I'm going to be answering that question by making a drawing (completely free) of your OC's in a car. All you have to do is respond to this post with your OC and how you'd like the artwork to be done.

Here's a quick reference sketch to show you a glimpse of what I mean, and which I'll be using as a foundation for all the artworks I plan on making:

Notice: If you're OC's car of choice is Right Hand Drive, this will be accounted for.

Here's what you should describe in your reply to this post so that you can join in:

• First post an image of their OC, give their name and talk a bit about their personality.

• What kind of car are they driving? You must not request a real car be driven for this, just give a brief description of what kind of car it is, but you can post a real car as a reference. The only exception to this rule is if it's a very iconic recognizable car like a classic Beetle or a Mustang.

• Where are they? What does the environment around the car look like? What time of day is it? The environment has to be on Earth, so no trips on the Moon unfortunately.

• What kind of details are there in the cab of the car around your OC? It can be litter, decorations, pictures, stickers, wear and tear, objects, etc.

• Finally, how's your OC feeling, and what are they doing? Are they tired or are they pumped up? Are they focused on the road, or distracted by something? Are they just going to work, hanging out with friends on a road-trip, or racing somebody?

Notice: You can describe the scenario in a modern setting if you wish, however for those who don't recognize my art style, I'm centered around making 90's CEL-animation artwork. Because of this I'd recommend you describe the setting anytime around the late 20th century. From the 50's to the early 2000's. This is not a requirement though.

Here's an important rule: Do not Direct Message me your submission for this post. You may send me a message if you have any questions regarding this post but that's it. Please be patient for your OC's artwork. I'm making all of these artworks for you for free, and I know that there's gonna be a lot of you responding to this post with your OC's. Please do not send me a message with your OC submission in the hopes that it will get your post seen and done faster. I want you all to know that it's not the end of the world if I inevitably don't reach your submission, because regardless I find you all to be creative and inspiring no matter what your skill level is, and I appreciate all of you who are actively sharing your stuff with the world.

Thank you all for reading all this, and I'm excited to see what you all have to offer!

Peace!

Posting this here because I don't have money for a real therapist to talk to about this, so you shmucks will just have to do for now.

As you can tell I haven't been super active in a while except for that small movie I posted almost 2 weeks ago now. It's because recently I feel like I've been having issues actually doing the stuff I want to do and get done. The only stuff I've been doing recently are the bare minimum stuff I need to do in real life, and the only thing in real life I need to do that I haven't half-assed in some sort of way is my Door-Dashing career (although when I realized I left my phone in my car uncharged today it prompted me to make the executive decision to just take Sundays off even though I originally intended to make the runs all 7 days a week).

I'm not sure if it's really as simple as motivation issues, maybe it is I dunno, but for some reason every time I'm actually doing something, I have the urge to just do the exact opposite of what I'm doing. Every time I'm at my computer I look to my bed and suddenly I just want to take a nap, and every time I'm in bed I'm restless because I want to use my computer to work on my art and college stuff. Whenever I'm enjoying my leisure time at home I get stressed out because I'm not out Door-Dashing and making money which my family and I kind of need right now, but of course when I'm actually out Door-Dashing I get stressed out dealing with traffic and it makes me want to come home sooner than I should, even though the whole point of me wanting to Door-Dash was to earn money by doing what I like to do, which is driving.

I can't focus on making art because I keep doubting myself on whether I should change my style or keep doing what I'm known for doing, and god forbid that I actually put effort into my college assignments. I want to be normal but I also want to stand out. I want to involve myself with real life events, socialize, and put effort into my business life like a good 'ole modernist man, but I also want to sit behind in the shadows Raoul Duke style, shooting my smack as I watch the animals bleet and babble with wary eyes. I have zero idea why this is happening to me, and it's getting to the point where I just feel comfortable doing literally nothing, watching the world go by through my window as my computer drains power and pours into our electricity bill.

It could be because I have undiagnosed OCD's. Is this what it's like to have OCD's? Is this what it's like to be obsessive and compulsive as I, unprompted, walk into the kitchen to pour yet another glass of Arizona? To have intrusive thoughts which halt me from doing what I want to do?

This is impossible! How do people live like this???

Do you try to be more like your parents and the generation that your parents grew up in, or do you guys try to get with the generation you live in?

I mean this question in terms of personality and life-decisions.

I wanna know what art style you guys like better. This will determine the style that I will go for from now on.

Should I go for the cinematic analog 70's/80's one?

Or the 90's CEL animated one?

The cinematic 70's/80's style I really enjoy the aesthetic of and is easier to make than the 90's CEL style. The 90's CEL art, however, is more satisfying to complete, and I have more freedom to determine the details of the line art.

I've thought about trying to somehow merge the two styles together even, but for now I need you guys to let me know which one of these I should stick to. Thank you!

This is Rob.

(This artwork is not reflective nor relational of the art made by it's artist. Credit goes to soapchuwa for this, please check out his other art.)

As you can see, Rob the Blob by himself stands as an excellent example of how not to design an Original Character. Rob knows this of course. He knows that he's ugly and boring and inelegant, and no matter how many times he asks people who are offering to draw other people's OC's to draw himself, he get's ignored every single time. Sometimes even outright rejected. . . .

Well now I say it's time to make a change, time for all of us to make a change. Let's show this humble little creature how fair and welcoming the Newgrounds community is by making the best artwork we can possibly make of him! Use your unique and impressive art style to make him shine, and draw him doing something exciting and cool like fighting off a dragon as a brave and noble knight, or defusing a bomb as a cool action hero just seconds before it blows up, or even saving the day as a marvelous super hero!

Use your imagination and your talent to bring this fella to life, and when your done with your artwork make sure that when you post it to Newgrounds you upload it with the tag: #Rob-the-Blob. Show the world that we as Newgrounds care about all of the small artists of the internet, by showing how much we care for and love Rob the Blob!

Rules:

1. You must be a scouted artist to join in on this collab, I'd prefer to have as many popular and talented artists working on this as possible.
2. No making artwork of Rob the Blob that depicts him committing harmful or controversial actions, he's not a villain or antagonist, he's just a humble little blob who wants joy for all. People who make vulgar depictions of Rob the Blob will not be accepted.
3. You're encouraged to upload your artwork of Rob on Newgrounds, and with the tag: #Rob-the-Blob. This is to make the amount of artworks made for the collab easier to track.

Attention: There is no deadline for this collab. However eventually I will end up making a video showcasing all of the artworks people have made for the Rob the Blob collab. I will eventually start making this video at the first day of June. So it's recommended to make your artwork before this point in time, that way your artwork has a better chance of entering the video. Thank you for reading, and I can't wait to see what you all make!

Rob and a New Planet.

For the new year I have a new alt account. It's an NSFW alt.

Here's the link to it -> https://ostan6000.newgrounds.com/news/post/1500974

Can't make any new drawings at the moment cause I'm doing stuff with the family. So just wanted to wish y'all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I have an account on Cara now, and I posted the link to it in my Bio.

Again, like I asked in the last news post, I would like to know if you guys have any suggestions for other art sharing platforms to try and gain a following on.

I already have my eyes on Cohost at the moment...

So first of all, you can completely ignore the last news post I made, as I was being pretentious about artwork scores, and I am NOT posting to Instagram because of their AI situation.

I will instead be posting to Cara. Though I haven't set up the account on that site yet, eventually I'll make another news post saying that it's ready. I'm basically just making this news post on my school laptop because I wanted to make this news post yesterday but had to go to sleep.

So with that being said, I wanna know if there's any other websites for artists like me that you'd suggest I branch out to.

Let me know down below, thank you!
