UPDATE

I am so sorry to say this, but I don't think I can continue this project anymore. At least for the time being.

Simply put: It's just not fun anymore. When I first started this, I was in a very different place. So, writing and consuming horror and drama was very cathartic when I was going through a bad time. And I'm extremely grateful that I'm in a much better place now. But because of that, I don't really want to explore horror now.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed writing Frightguard. But it hasn't been fun for awhile. So I'd either need to reboot it to something I'd enjoy writing more, or I need to hand it off to another artist/writer to take it from here.

I mean it, if anyone is interested in taking over, DM me. I have thumbnails for this current arc ready, several character references, and outlines and ideas for scenes for future arcs. You can do it in your art style and change the writing if you want.

But if neither of those happen, it's safe to say this series has been discontinued until further notice.

To everyone that has stuck with me throughout all of this, or even helped out my Patreon a few years back- Thank you. I really appreciate it. Your support has been invaluable.

Btw let me know if I accidentally post non-FNAF stuff here. Sometimes, I forget to switch to my main blog.

Switching to a B&W style going forward so it'll be easier to draw.

i love your takeaway from the JJ Abrams Mystery Box was "it's because what's in the mystery box is developed/good/exists. you wouldn't get it."

It only works if you set up several conflicting theories as to what is in the mystery box that are all equally plausible. The audience has to feasibly be able to reach the "correct" answer, but they can never be sure. That's intrigue! Otherwise, all you're doing is telling the audience that a really deep and well written story is happening just off screen I promise.

One of the writers of LOST came to speak at my school once. He told the crowd "I could totally tell you guys what the island is but I'm not gonna" And the crowd went nuts. That shit made me so mad. It has been a decade since that show went off the air. If you had an actually narratively satisfying answer for that question, you would have said it by now. Or better, you would have put it in the damn show.

I'll be honest, I've been feeling burnt out on creative stuff. I second guess & over analyze everything I make. It constantly stops me from making stuff. I hate making hiatuses in the middle of stories, but I can't get myself to make more right now. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry for the weird effect, it did that when I rendered. I can't fix it.

Concept: Everyone had Vanni masks at Silver Parasol during play testing HW. All have to follow a similar shape for easier production. Vanessa edited a Spring Bonnie mask to become the Vanny one.

I think that every character in Frightguard should be allowed to hit SpringTrap with a metal chair. As a treat.

The grand finale of Frightguard just looks like this.

To anyone following this blog and commenting and liking, I want to say: Thank You. I know I lash out sometimes and I shouldn't do that, but I really am grateful for everyone that's been supporting this little project.

I know the output has slowed down in the last year. I do want to do more, but I've had various real life issues that were more pressing that needed my focus. I can't guarantee I'll have more regular uploads, but I want to make clear I haven't forgotten about this series or anything.
