Sooo... I may have fallen in love with these two dorks all over again. xD I last attempted to draw these two back in 2021, but I ended up going back through their content recently and just really wanted to draw them again. :D Sam and Max have such a great dynamic and play off of each other so, so well. And despite all the wacky hijinks they seem to constantly end up in, you know they love each other very much and will always have each other’s backs! (Even when they're fighting over who gets to answer the phone first LOL) Sometimes true love really is a 6-foot tall anthro dog and a kinetic rabbit-y... thing! x'D So here they are, in all their glory! ^^ Probably just having some downtime before the next bizzare assignment the commissioner decides to throw their way. I've always struggled more with characters that have longer snouts, so this was a good challenge for me! As well as drawing up a proper background instead of just slapping a gradient on it and calling it a day! xD Overall, I'm really happy with how this turned out! <3 I got to stretch the artistic muscles a lil bit and draw a couple of lads I really haven't shown much love to before! So I hope you guys enjoy this too! And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sam & Max (c) Steve Purcell Art (c) Me! <3

Hey y'all, I'm still alive! Huzzah! xD I'll admit August has kinda just flown like a blur, and I'm still trying to recover from my sickness. But while that was going on I hit a nostalgia kick, and... well, this is the result! xD

As a 2000s kid I grew up watching all sorts of cartoons, but I especially remember Thomas and Friends. One of my fondest memories of that time was me and my little brother having breakfast before school, and as the intro played and Thomas went into the tunnel, we'd always be excited to see if today's episode would have the static faces or the moving ones (the show wasn't all CGI yet so we saw both types of episodes). It was a lot of fun. xD 

Of course, none of the episodes were neccessarily in order. But while I was sick I decided to rectify that by going back and watching the show from the beginning, and... yeah, I got hooked on it pretty fast. x'D And it's given me a newfound appreciation for the show that I never really had as a kid, and especially for the characters that I otherwise would barely think twice about.

Like these two little gremlins, good ol' Bill and Ben.

If there are two things I have an incredibly soft spot for, it's the found family trope and just sibling dynamics in general. And Thomas and Friends was kind enough to give me two sets of twin brothers to get hopelessly attached to! xD (I absolutely adore Donald and Douglas as well, and I want to draw them too eventually!! <3)

Between petty sibling banter and causing chaos for all the bigger engines around them, they are just so silly and I love them for it. x'D I also find their relationships with BoCo and Edward particularly sweet, especially in fanworks. There's just so much to love and I'm just such a sucker for this kind of duo. x"D

But yeah! That's pretty much how August has gone for me. Watching the original Thomas and Friends and getting hopelessly attached to the characters in it. xD It's actually been a lot of fun! And learning how to draw the trains has been both challenging and equally fun. :D I think I needed a nice challenge to really get my creative juices flowing again, and this was just the challenge I needed!

Not to worry, though! I'm sure I'll be back in the Fnaf boat soon enough. As, like William Afton, I always come back to it. xD

That's all for now though! Thanks for sticking with me during my semi-hiatus, and look forward to more art coming soon! <3

And as a bonus for making it all the way through my rambling, here's a bonus Bill!

Is he plotting revenge on Ben? Is he plotting World Domination? Or is he just judging someone? Who knows! xD And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

Well, it was only a matter of time until I drew the elusive Glamrock Bonnie! x'D So here he is! And so also continues my love for every type of Fronnie in existence! xD I decided to have some fun with these two and kinda gave them a dynamic that's a bit of a reverse on my regular Fronnie! Wherein Glamrock Bonnie is slightly shorter, a bit chubby and fairly chill, and Glamrock Freddy is, of course, a big, tall and cheery fella! xD Though they're both incredibly sweet and love to rock, and maybe every now and again they go bowling together at Bonnie Bowl when the Pizzaplex is closed. <3 At least before Bonnie disappeared one day. Lemme tell ya, that line where Freddy says he doesn't go up to Bonnie Bowl anymore because he misses Bonnie still gets me every single time. ;; For Bon's design here I did sort of base it off a popular one that I've seen floating around, though I'm not entirely sure who originally made it. Though of course I wanted to put my own spin on a design for him, so I thought it'd be fun to incoporate both that design and elements from the Bonnie Bowl design, as well as a few little details of my own! :D I mostly drew inspiration from Bonnie Bowl for the little red and yellow vest, which then got carried over into a legwarmer as well because, why not? xD His design is definitely subject to change if I ever draw him again, but all-in-all, I'm pretty happy with how he turned out! <3 And I hope you guys enjoy this too! Trying to draw this particular pose was a lot of fun and these two just look so cute. ;; I know I've been quiet the past week or so but I'm trying to get my art motivation going again, and hopefully I'll have more content for y'all very, very soon! So stay tuned!~ ;3 And thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please do NOT repost or use my art!

Since Artfight's coming to a close, I figure I might as well do what I did last year and post a few of the other attacks I managed to complete!

Honestly my mental health has taken a bit of a plunge over this past month, so I wasn't really up to drawing as much as I usually do. But I am happy with the pieces I did get done, and I hope you guys do too! <3 Though since I'm also now pretty sure I'm coming down with something, I might not be as active for a bit. Just gonna take a bit of time to reevaluate things in my life and try not to stress about art as much. I will hopefully be back soon, but I just thought I'd give you guys a heads up. ^^

Onto the actual art though, we've got a funky lil feline is named To-Telos, and he belongs to freakeddiscord on Artfight! <3 A revenge piece since they drew my gal Mist, so it was only right to hit 'em back with some art of their funky lad! He's apparently a demonic beast with multiple faces, and I just thought it was really fun! xD Next is Bunny, since my bestie and I have been discussing Sonic again and that's been on my mind. So as soon as I saw her, I just KNEW I had to draw her! x'D She's just got such a cute design! She belongs to shortcakeys on Artfight. And finally is Vi, and with my love of pastels and doggos, there was NO way I wasn't gonna draw her! xD Lookit all that floof! She belongs to Dandybadger on Artfight.

Thanks as always for all the likes, comments and everything y'all send my way, it really does mean a lot to me. <3 And I hope to be able to continue posting art semi-regularly for a while to come! Granted I can get my own stuff together LOL.

Hey y'all! <3 Thunder’s back to drawing ship art! Yay! xD I had the wip of this sitting around for a while, but since I finally got some motivation going, figured I'd just finish it up and post that. Figured some ship art would be most fitting now that we're into June! xD (Happy Pride btw!~) Honestly I wasn't crazy about this piece at first but I think it all came together in the end! :D Something simple and sweet. I dunno what else to say other than I think these two are really cute together, and... that's about it? x'D They seem like they could have a really fun dynamic! Two badass ladies in love, can't go wrong with that! x"D Also figured it was about time I drew something other than Sun and Moon, but I'm sure I'll be back to drawing them before you know it! xD So I hope y'all enjoy! <3 Got some bigger stuff in the works, but I hope this'll help tide you over till then!

Soo... guess who's joined artfight again? x'D

Unfortunately, my art motivation has taken a nosedive over the past week, so this is all I've done so far. But hey, I really like it, so I thought I'd share it here for you guys to enjoy as well! :D

As soon as I saw these three, I just knew I had to draw them. My Fnaf Trash-iness(?) knows no bounds, apparently! xD

So say hello to (left to right) Sazzy, Trixy and Springa! They belong to the lovely NukeFur on Artfight (https://artfight.net/~NukeFur). I guess they've also decided that it's time to go out with the old and in with the new, and it's their time to shine in the spotlights!

Step aside Fazbear gang, there's a new crew in town! xD

All joking aside, I think their designs are really fun! And I had an absolute blast drawing these guys together! <3

That about does it for this piece, though! If any of y'all are particpating in ArtFight and want to find/follow me there, I'm Thunderxleaf on there as well. ^^ Heck, I might even toss some art at you if I get back into the groove again! You never know. ~ ;3

Happy Pride Month everyone! <3 

I'm sorry for not being as active as of late, been busy working on some other projects. And trying to fend off artblock for the 9000000th time. x.x But I managed to doodle a sassy bunny for you all to enjoy, and here he is! <3

Showing off his pride in a matching vest and stockings, as well as some killer shades. This bun loves strutting his stuff, lemme tell ya! x'D

I can't promise I'll be any more active, but I'll try my best! With the Fnaf Movie trailer dropping recently my motivation is beginning to come back a little more, so hopefully that'll result in a little more art next month! xD (And yes I'm so hyped for that, and I'm 100% going to go see it when it drops!! :D)

I'm also considering participating in artfight again (since it's just around the corner) to try and get my creative flow going again, and if I do, you bet you'll see some of the pieces from that here! ;3

So stay tuned!~ And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

We're quickly approaching the end of Spooky Month, so what better way to celebrate then have some Fnaf Peeps dress up for Halloween? :D Sun and Moon are definitely getting into the spirit anyway! xD So here they are dressed as the iconic Mario and Luigi! <3 And honestly? I think they're killing it! xD Those mustaches in particular look quite spiffy on em! Though it is a little jarring to see Sun with actual eyes and not just blank white ones. x"D I'd like to think he's just committing to the character! I don't really have much else to say though! Just something simple and sweet as we lead up to Halloween! :D I didn't want to do a full piece with every character in costume as that would take WAY too long, so I decided to just break it off into smaller pieces with a few characters in each! <3 So expect at least one more piece along these lines either tomorrow or on Halloween itself!! I'm excited to show y'all what some other rFnaf peeps came up with to get into the Spooky Spirit!~ ;3 So stay tuned! <3 And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please do NOT repost or use my art!~ Sun & Moon (c) Scott Cawthon/Steel Wool [FNAF Franchise] Art (c) Me! <3

It's that time of year! :D Time for the annual art summary from yours truly! Honestly I had a lot of fun with my art this year! I tried out all sorts of different poses, tried more complex backgrounds, and generally just drawing stuff that was a little more out of my comfort zone. Although this was also the year where my Sun and Moon brainrot hit full-force, sooo.. there was plenty of art of them as well! x'D I'm overall pretty happy with how my art has progressed, and I'm certainly looking forward to trying all sorts of new and wonderful things this new year! xD Don't worry, though, there'll still be plenty of my usual fluffy ship content as well! ;3 It's fun to try new things every once in a while, but cute ship art is still my bread and butter! x"D So you best believe there'll be plenty more of that to come in 2023! With that, I hope you guys had a good 2022, and here's to an even better 2023!! :D 

I can't thank you all enough for all the support you've shown my art over this past year, and I'm super excited to bring y'all even more content in the new year! <3 And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FNAF Characters (c) Scott Cawthon/Steel Wool Jackieboyman & Marvin the Magnificent (c) Jacksepticeye Art & Laela (c) Me! <3

Welp, I knew I was gonna have to draw some Fishy Boys eventually-xD

(Will also be posting semi-references for both of them, but thought I’d toss that in separately as to not clutter this up pft-)

Decided to try something new this week and since Mermay is a thing... well... My immediate thought was "let's draw some Fnaf boys as mermaids", and since the Sun/Moon brainrot is still going strong, here they are! xD I have seen SO many fun designs for them here on Tumblr, so you bet I wanted to jump on that! x'D (I blame @bamsara @vurelly & @solarrush mostly, cause their art and their fics are just.. AGHHH so good ;;; seriously go check them out if you haven’t, they have incredible stuff and they have kept me well-fed with sun/moon content LMAO) But hey! I got to try something new, experiment with a different background and with water, plus honestly I've never really drawn mermaids?? So this was a new experience! :D All things considered, I think it came out pretty darn nice!

I'll probably still mess around with the boys' designs but overall pretty happy with it! <3

The only other thing of note is that Moon is older then Sunny, and Sunny is roughly 8 feet long while Moon is around 11 feet long (subject to change though, still trying to figure it out xD But Moon will likely be at least a little bigger then Sun)

So I hope y’all enjoy it too!! :DD

As promised in the last post, a general ref sheet for the Mer Boys! <3  (Things are subject to change as I’m still trying to figure out their designs pft)

Moon is based on a Whale Shark mostly, and he is actually relatively docile compared to Sunny. Dude just doesn’t want to engage with people and he’s good xD

Sunny, meanwhile, takes after his original self, being very spunky and outgoing. I also HC he likes to pop up near tourist boats and do a little swan dive or twirl for them. He just likes the attention lol. (also he trusts people far too much) Catch him laying on a bunch of rocks just dousing himself with water every once in a while, waiting for people to come by he can show off to.

I don’t have a concrete backstory for them just yet, but the general gist of there possibly being some wacky stuff at play. I both like them being wild and free in the ocean AND being contained in an aquarium so I’m very torn in that regard PFT.

I’ll figure it out eventually though...! Hopefully. xD

But there ya go! If you were kind enough to read through my rambles, have some little Mers for your trouble. xD

And with that, enjoy y’all! <3 And see you again soon hopefully!

I had a hit of nostalgia this week, so here's something unexpected; Undertale fanart! xD Since day one I have absolutely adored the skelebros and their dynamic ;w; And after spiraling down the Undertale rabbit-hole on YT, I figured, what the heck! Why not draw them again? It's been a while but honestly, I think they look better then they ever have! <3 Plus a fun little winter-y background, keeping it simple but also adding a little more depth then some of my other art. All around, it was fun! :D And hey, while Fnaf may be my life-blood, I like to stretch my artistic muscles every once and a while with something different! And when the nostalgia hits, man... you just go with it. xD So here they are! <3 Enjoy!

Hey guys! Sorry this is a bit late.

My schedule's changed and I'm realizing now my current art routine isn't gonna work with it. So I gotta adjust. :"D But to make up for the lack of new art, next Sunday will be a double upload! x3 So definitely stay tuned for that! But for now, I'm keeping on with the spooky October vibes... albeit this time, it's cute instead of gorey! xD I knew as soon as The Curse of Dreadbear DLC happened that I'd need to draw him and Grimm Foxy eventually, but... you know. It took me a little while to get around to it. xD Alas, here's mister Dreadbear at last! But wait... who's that little goblin on his head? x"D Plushtrap is a friend to all shapes and sizes, and given his own papa is massive, he's not afraid of Dreadbear! ;w; And Dreadbear himself, while a little confused, is actually kinda happy to find someone who doesn't cower at his mere presence. And now, a few HCs about Dreadbear to wrap this up; - Dreadbear only communicates through growls, groans and other guttural noises, as well as gestures. (He can, however, understand spoken languages to some extent) - Dreadbear is massive, rivalling the heights of Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear - Grimm Foxy is the only guy he really trusts, given that he's also the first person he ever met Aaaand that should about do it! :D Thanks for being patient with me, y'all, and hopefully the art for next Sunday will be worth the wait! <3 And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Please do NOT repost or use my art! ~ Dreadbear & Plushtrap (c) Scott Cawthon [Five Nights at Freddy's Franchise] Art (c) Me

Hey everyone! <3 Gonna try to make it short and sweet this week. Started working on a bigger piece but that'll have to wait 'till next week, so here's some Shadow Fronnie fluffiness instead! x3 I love the dynamic of the lovable, wild goofball and his quiet and patient partner. ;w; Especially since you know Shadow Freddy enjoys his bunny's antics, even if he isn't the best at showing it. xD Also yes I have the feeling Shadow Freddy has to catch and/or carry Shadbon around a fair bit. Dude is definitely accident-prone. xD Gotta keep him safe! Anyway just a simple doodle-ish type drawing all fancied up with some shading! Next week will hopefully be bigger and better! x3 That's all for now though!

Ah, this thing I have for big bois and their itty-bitty partners... x"D It's the first time I've drawn a proper sitting pose (at least in a while I think?), and boy howdy do I like how it came out! x3 References are a life-saver, people, don't be ashamed to use them! 

I'd definitely recommend them anyway! I know Baby is supposedly the biggest of the Fnaf SL peeps according to their blueprints, but I just love the thought of Funtime Freddy being this big, big boi. I know he's like, 6'0? in canon, but that's the size of regular Freddy in my AU (who is considered fairly short xD). 

Ah well, he’s still a pretty big bear! x”D Wanted to do something kinda colourful, kinda soft. Was originally gonna be scrapbooking between these two (had that idea in mind for a while), but somehow I ended up just drawing stickers on FT Freddy instead. xD 

But hey, it's a sweet, wholesome moment nonetheless! Man, I just love drawing this duo so much!! ;w; Alrighty, trying to keep this short and sweet, so that's it for now. See you guys next week!~ ;3 Thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

Hey guys! I'm back with more cats! xD Been back on a bit of a Warriors swing the past week, so I whipped something new up. Thought it'd be fun to stretch the ol' creative muscles a bit. Don't worry, there'll still be plenty of Fnaf content coming y'alls way very soon.~ ;3 But for now, here are some more Warrior OCs! Wolfdusk (big dark gray tabby), Plumwind (blue-gray she-cat) and their son, Stormpaw! :D Not a happy family moment though, unfortunately. Wolfdusk is a former rogue who turned for the better and eventually settled down with lovely miss Plumwind. They had two kits; Stormkit and Pearlkit. Pearlkit got curious about Wolfdusk's former life when the rogues he'd been travelling with re-emerged. Wolfdusk warned her, time and time again, that it wasn't safe to go after them, but she didn't listen. After she and her brother were apprenticed, she left the Clan to chase after the rogues. Wolfdusk was obviously devastated by this, as were Plumwind and Stormpaw. So he turned his sights to his only remaining son, pushing him to be a great Warrior even harder! But unfortunately, Stormpaw didn't really want to be a Warrior. In truth, he wanted to be a Medicine Cat. Wolfdusk, already blind with grief and anguish, disowns his son, despite the desperate pleas of his mate. ;; She begged for him not to, knowing that Stormpaw needed his parents now more then ever, but Wolfdusk made up his mind. Truly the loss of his daughter broke him. ;; And poor Stormpaw got caught up in his father's grief-stricken anger. But yeah! I actually really like this backstory for Stormpaw, even if it's pretty devastating :"D And I hope you guys like this too! It's been a long time since I've attempted to draw a forest, and I think it came out alright! ^^ But let me know what y'all think. And whether or not you'd like to see more of this lil broken family, or just more Warrior Cats content in general, in the future! Alrighty, before I ramble some more, let's end it here! xD Thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please do NOT repost or use my art!
