Today has taught me that a smile from somebody random can make a difference :)

and no I don't mean a creepy smile from a stranger but a good one in public

After I experienced receiving 1 racial slur and 2 sexist comments (in public >:( ) in the past week, I feel now a bit relieved.

There are good people on this planet and that's a nice thing to know imo.

So

Keep Smiling :)

and take it easy y'all out there!

Thanks to user CatBoyTweek for sending me that invite and thus scouting me! :D

Keeping this post as note for myself here

Ok so that update from last time... I think I have mention this

My arm I mainly use to draw is feeling tired and I recently got this stupid splinter in my index finger.

Not so good idea to press 'n draw when that hurts, so if I get rid of the feels I'll be back! :D

For once a positive news headline in here

I've just posted a piece and I hope my next will be here soon as well :)

If I have trouble writing proper descriptions again, that might block me but anyways . .

Stay tuned!

Though my birthday was yesterday, I intended to post something very special.. :D

Shoutout to this amazing artist NYANPIZZA for delivering me such a special birthday gift!!

Their art skill is top and I feel its underrated so they deserve to be noticed:

• DeviantArt!
• Furaffinity!

I have actually visited Japan in the past and I just feel the need to say

Happy Tokyo Olympic Games 2020!! :D

Yes, I'm aware of the pandemic situation

and also that 2020 is the correct number because of rescheduling.

"I MADE IT THROUGH WOOOHOOO!!!!"

It was quite the act, I almost fainted out and had to lay down on the floor in that

public space where everyone else had to sit for their 15 min. side effects check.

Did you know I was super scared to actually go and take it? I am soooo relieved :)

I regularly find awesome people on Artfol, but I rarely catch up so well that an artist offers to do a commission! :D

Go check out @stellka's profile if you're on the app!! Her work is amazing and deserves to be noticed

I'll show the finished thing here too once it's completed :)

FUN FACT: This character is based on what I look in real life

I keep getting notifications about a Forum post I made while I was Supporter.

And whaddya know, it's real xD. I can't open my own topic anymore

Welcome to my Big News Update!

Table of contents:

• Changing my username
• Linking my Artfol with Newgrounds
• Future vision

1

Changing the game, by changing my name! In the old days of 2010 when I was a lot younger, I made online accounts with childish structures and use of numbers. This is also the case with my Newgrounds and I want to get rid off this name that's difficult to type and getting found through search engines (like Google).

My new username will be Tobieshima

2

With the unpleasant experience and broken algorithm of places like Instagram, I am now moving onto a place called Artfol. You may not have heard of it, but it's probably becoming a game changer for visual artists on social media!

Just like Newgrounds it has the ability to post News Updates, Art and Filters for NSFW/Gore Art.

Well I definitely won't be doing Gore but the point is:

Artfol & Newgrounds are platforms surprisingly with equal features which I really like, so that's why these 2 will become new my front line for posting my stuff! :D

Now for the fun part, I'm writing down lines like New Year's resolutions but instead they are for the future!

• A. Firstly I hope my English will improve in time and particularly my writing. So that I don't have clashes with people misunderstanding me, drama and all that kind of thing.
• B. Climbing higher on the ladder is hard but if I ever reach it, I hope that one day my name can be found through Google and that people easily can find me. It's going to be a long way to get noticed and making good stuff, but if it ever happens I would be very grateful for that.
• C. "Hey I like your style" is one example of my goals throughout the journey. It takes time for me to understand fundamentals and stuff but the more I progress I hope (one day) to find out what people think my style actually is.

That's it for now! More news may appear in the future.

I hope my info is clear from now on and that anybody who read it enjoyed it.

Cheers :-)
