Sometimes I really enjoy drawing these two in some stupid or serious situations. Although, when I was drawing the second art, I thought: Darnell has pyromania, right? And fr it's a very difficult to live with such a problem in certain situations. ESPECIALLY when a fire takes someone away or you yourself are in a burning building. You simply can't react to a fire like a normal person, and it's also impossible to explain it normally to another ppl. And yet, in the first game, he even wanted to become school president lol.
For some reason, both of Pico's friends have serious issues. One has suicidal and masochistic tendencies, the other is a pyromaniac. It sounds like he has some kind of savior syndrome lol. It's a shame I haven't seen any fanfics about this...
Wow, it's been almost a YEAR since I signed up in Newgrounds, learned about Pico's School, and started annoying my followers with my weird fan arts, lol. I won't be doing a big year-end review just yet, but I honestly can't believe it's flown by so quickly. I don't like celebrating New Year's or Christmas, I don't even put up a Christmas tree btw, but I really enjoy drawing something Christmas themed as a tradition.
Well...as you can see, something very interesting awaits you! I won't say any more, I want to hear your opinion! (I censor some parts cause of YouTube rules, y'know)
Recently, I've noticed that some people somehow think I represent my views on life in Cass. Well, I have some unpopular opinions on certain topics that some people might find "disturbing". But here, Cassandra is literally the embodiment of radicalism. She'll tear apart anyone who disagrees with her, and beating up someone with different views is absolutely normal for her. The most I can do is troll my opponent online, not wishing them death. Nevertheless, it frightens me that there are quite a few people who don't distinguish between the opinions and actions of the main character and the author's opinion. As if the main character SHOULD be a bastion of morality and that the correct morality must always prevail in history. Or, alternatively, that the author is a Nazi/fascist, and so on. This is no better than religious activists who have been blaming everything for years, and pushing for total censorship of everything. And it's sad.
* By the way, a small detail from the development: several times a month I get a very unpleasant thought like "maybe I should change my sex? Maybe it would be better for me?" And practically nothing helps get rid of it, like a song stuck in my head that I can't get rid of, and it really bothers me. I've tried a lot to get rid of this thought. And the only thing that helps me at the moment is sketch Cass lol. Yes, exactly in this version. Because she's funny, and it helps get rid of bad thoughts for a while. I know this may sound really strange, but hey! At least art therapy can work somehow.
Daaamn! It's a shame there aren't many fan-arts featuring this couple (Pico x Cass). Especially considering the original game indirectly confirmed that Cass has feelings for Pico lmao. They're a perfect duo, perfect for both comedy and serious drama or conflict. Writing dialogue between them is incredibly interesting. But unfortunately, as far as I've learned, there are some people who downright despise the people who draw art featuring them together, calling them "heteroslop" (though something tells me if they come up with a different term for homo couples, many would be really mad lol) and start trashing the artists over such trivial matters. And that's the kind of person like this I want to respond to aggressively: "Then your family is heteroslop, since it instilled in you a hatred for such a group of people." Harsh? Yes. Fair? Yeah. When did like a lot of ppl who "fight for minority rights" start despising onther people/ships for their... orientation? Madness.
Pheeeew, I'm kind of tired this week, even though it's only Tuesday, but at least I had the energy to finish this difficult art, on a topic that's so important to me personally.
I wrote about this a while ago, but I'll repeat myself: I often notice that many people crave popularity and recognition too much. I think we've all been like that at one point, and I'm no exception. I thought, "Once I find a huge audience and create my own studio in the future, everyone will respect and love me!" Now I'm VERY skeptical about this idea, especially when I gained some sort of fame in 2023 by complete chance, having amassed a YouTube audience of around 14,000+ over the years. Views and reach on this channel were truly massive, and in some places I started to be recognized (some even idolized me; later, they became bitterly disappointed in me once they got to know me better, as a person and not the as a content creator, but that was clearly later). For me, it all became escapism from the reality that I didn't stand out from the crowd.
You can always post something recognizable and it would get a lot of views and reactions, and that's it – now you're not alone. But popularity is such a thing that you have to know how to maintain it, otherwise it will disappear without you even noticing. I had two options: continue to work as a conveyor and get lots of reactions, or focus on my other arts and ultimately get significantly less. And somewhere around this point, I made a friend irl who I could confide my secrets and worries to with absolute peace of mind, and I could discuss almost anything with her, which made some things easier for me. And after that, somehow, I stopped chasing numbers and began to freewheel, releasing what I found interesting and close to me, rather than chasing popularity. Did a video or art get a lot of views? Cool. Did it get few? Well, okay.
And that's why I look at some people with indignation when they make popularity practically their main goal. Cause more often than not, such people, for various reasons, can't find someone close to them among the people around them, and they try to drown this out with dreams of fame and PROVING their worth in life. And that's truly sad. I'll give everyone reading this post one advice: "No matter how big is your audinece, but matter the audience which is really interest in your work." I genuinely enjoy it when people share their thoughts on my work, their reflections, and even when they argue with me (as long as it's a genuinely reasoned debate and not just mudslinging). Even though these people are few and far between compared to my popularity two years ago, the irony is that as I write this post, exactly 200 people have subscribed to me on Newgrounds. But again, this is just a nice bonus, and it's important to keep that in mind. And don't chase frontpages, tons of likes, etc. Otherwise, the point of creating will be lost.
Some of you have probably noticed that my posts have become less frequent. No, I'm not planning on disappearing, and I'm not burning out at all (thank goodness). It's something else entirely: I started training to become a hairdresser at the beginning of this September!
I don't plan to make my art my main source of money (and I have no desire to take on commissions/YCHs yet), plus I really enjoy working with hair and transforming it. Even though I've NEVER been to a hairdresser, or even a beauty salon, for that matter. But for now... I'm having a really hard time with it. So much so that my teacher suspects my parents sent me here. Which is actually completely wrong; I found the school myself, and they talked me out of it for a long time. But I've already made some progress. My classmates may be cutting people's hair while I'm still learning on mannequins, but damn, I love working with hair rn. Now I can draw, animate a little, write music, programing novels, and even do some haircuts. Looks like all that's left now is to fly into space or become a politic person. Lol.
*btw I actually like how this post contrasts with my recent work. Grime, darkness, depression, and... a cute ginger hairdresser.
Some time ago my friend started telling me the plot of FNF. Cause this thing had completely passed me by at the time, and I'd practically never heard of it, not joking. I asked him what the plot was... and honestly, I don't even know what to say. It was so weird that I jokingly said to myself, "Oh my God, this sounds like something made up with glue/weed or something even heavier." (At least Pico School had an interesting foundation for the game—a real-life story. But here, it felt like randomness for the sake of randomness, and the music... to put it mildly, not my thing at all.)
But around one in the morning, an absurd idea came to me for my version of PS: What if this plot is that girl's fantasy, including her boyfriend/demon parents—it's all her hallucinations from the glue and escapism? It sounds unusual to me. I don't know if I'll add this somewhere in the future, in which case I'll need to come up with a name for her (since for some reason it's not in the original)... I can't think of anything except Gabriella. What do you think?

Cass and psychologist comic!
