Nothing major, just a picture of your persona/favorite OC(s) in any pose you wish, so I can mush it into a big collab poster for the one year anniversary. Inspiration being this...thing I suppose. (I'll be the guy in the front lol)


I went on hiatus from NG for a couple weeks, I’m not sure if I have the motivation to get involved in collabs for a while. That does look fun, though, and I hope it comes out looking good!


Someone please help me revive my clubs

Guys, a little question i have, hope you don't mind lol

iu_1307587_9123886.webp


Secret Santa it's here!


And you know that i love these events. However, there's a small problem that really don't know what to think. I really can't decide which one of my bois should be part of the event this time. Since in past years i've doing a small change. My first Secret Santa was May, then Henriette, then Mumble. I would easily say that May should repeat, but idk.


And that's where YOU come in!


You can choose which one of my boyos will be part of the Secret Santa this year! Whoever many people pick up will be the the winner! You can choose one of these guys:

But hurry! Or we'll miss the Secret Santa aplications! So think fast, and let the best one win!!


Cool, wild and Groovy beat.

Working on my collab submission today! But in the meantime, I have a question that's been on my mind for a while... why is this place called Abandonware?


Just glitchin' about.

To be blunt, because I thought it sounded cool XD


Buuut, if the name needs a bit more of a concrete meaning, a lot of time when software ends up becoming Abandonware, it's up to the community and fans to keep it alive and recognized. In a way, we're keeping ourselves relevant and pushing on? I dunno, something like that.

I've finished my piece for the collab :3< . I'm accepting everyone's submissions either on the main thread or by DM until December 4th, that way I can edit things together and publish it by the 6th or 7th.


iu_1310730_8995593.webp

Little guy to my left is my sona's adopted son Marcello (Marc for short). I felt like I just had to include him and his grumpy little face. Adds some extra variety. There's also me, of course, because what kind of celebratory Abandonware piece would be missing it's illustrious leader?


If anybody needs extensions, let me know, I just can't go past December 9th because I have to study for finals that ENTIRE time.

I might need an extension by a few days .. so hopefully it's not too much of a hassle by then. >_<

This is one of my favourite characters I've made this year so far. His name is Cyril, and he's a cylinder!

Cyril is made up of 4 equal-sized segments which he can freely move, stack and rotate at will. Personality-wise, Cyril likes nothing more than going outside and hanging out with his friends, although fishing is pretty neat too. He's a bit less happy when he's indoors... but aren't we all?

Just gave this guy a redesign! I was aiming for a sort of 90s platformer mascot angle with the oversized gloves and boots. Was originally gonna give him a different hat too, but decided to stick with his trusty ol' bucket hat.

Err, I fixed some errors but is there anywhere I should upload the art to share it nicely?


I noticed trying to share it here doesn’t seem to be the full quality. >_<

If the quality is an issue, you can send it over DM. But it looks great :O

I don't know if I will be able to do the collab piece, I may be able to squeeze some time for it, but I feel like it would be unlikely for to finish it before the deadline.

... I though i was finally over with this topic... But here we are again


Idk why i've having these weird experiments of giving May a redesign, but idk.

iu_1321262_9123886.webp

iu_1321263_9123886.webp

Like, after all the random ass attempts i finally got this one but at the same time, feel conflictuated. Like, it's the Twitter OC thingy affecting me? Why i am doing this if i know May doesn't need a redesign? (Plus, people here know it too, i made a thread about that months ago)


But, eh, whatever, maybe i'll let you guys choose, May it's cool the way she is? Or this might be the best take to go?

see, that's the fun thing about OCs. you think you've finally got them nailed down and are never gonna change them again, and then one random day it just * happens *.


i thought i was done with yuki's design like 5 years ago, so i know the feeling lol.

Yeah, the problem is that everyone including me agreed that May design is perfect and it doesn't need changes.


But don't know why i started doing those again, i just have a problem? (Plus, May is (Mentally) 15), why i keep experimenting these changes?


Man, i hope it's the last of the redesigns for May i make, specially the "May thinks pants are stupid" ones. Don't know why i started thinking about them.

Do not sweat the "we thought the char design was perfect" part. As an artist who has it's own character, you can expect to start redesigning your characters every once in a while (specially if you're young), some of these redesigns might be low, like a more or less toned color palette, and some might be bigger, like a change in style or general appearance


In some cases, designs stay for a lot of time, and that's not bad, as it shows the current design works. Changes might happen because you want to see how the character develops in other environments, intentionally or unintentionally, and that's great to start knowing what makes a certain char be that certain char
