Heres A Digital Art Thing I Made Recently! Its My First Real Attempt With It So Its Nothing Fancy Yet,

Here’s a digital art thing I made recently! It’s my first real attempt with it so it’s nothing fancy yet, but I’m glad I’m starting to get back into drawing more - it’s something I’ve missed a lot.

Speaking of missing a lot, I actually posted this a whole month back on Twitter... haven’t been on Tumblr in a long time, I really need to fix that. How many memes have I been missing out on???

2015 Year in Review

For some reason my brain keeps telling me that 2015 sucked. There were some not-so-great things about it, sure, but it wasn’t totally awful. Thus, I’m writing this list to focus on the positive aspects of the past year. If it sounds like I’m bragging, I’m really not - I’m trying to feel better about what I’ve accomplished. A lot’s been happening!

Got my first job! Because of it, I enjoyed a lovely summer of working in the morning, then getting home and chilling for the rest of the day.

Super Mario Maker came out and I made a bunch of levels for it. Some were even promoted by big names like GameXplain and Nintendo UK!

At college, I’m now senior-level by hours, even though I’m in my third year.

Learned my way around Photoshop - enough to make a new avatar! I’m not 100% done with it yet, but this is pretty close at least.

Speaking of Photoshop, I digitized a bunch of mazes. Wait, actually, that was Illustrator.

Broke 50 followers on Twitter, and 200 followers on Tumblr (most of the latter is just bots, though). Also, 1000 video views on Youtube?? But why???

Got a new phone that I absolutely love. It’s been a big help in keeping me up to speed with everything.

I’m realizing as I go back through my social feeds that I posted a LOT more than I thought I did this year. Like, wow.

Worked up the courage to start drawing again after about five years. It’s been a slow start, but I've drawn more complex stuff than ever (like humans).

In any case, I’m looking forward to 2016! New year, fresh start, lots of big plans and opportunities. Can’t wait to get started!

I don’t normally announce streams here on Tumblr, but this is an important exception: I’m hosting a Switch Launch Party stream on Twitch this Friday, March 3rd! I’ll be playing a bit of Super Bomberman R, Fast RMX, and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment. Unfortunately I don’t know what time it’ll start (dunno when the mail will get here!), but you can follow me for notifications and updates:

Edit: You can watch the whole stream here!

I reuploaded this level with some bugfixes - Mario could get stuck in a few places, which is to be expected with something of this scope. Shouldn’t be an issue anymore. Course ID is above.

I made a level in Super Mario Maker called Duality that flips upside-down every time Mario enters a pipe. The course ID is 2FA8-0000-0030-C2AD if you want to try it out!

good luck will were rooting for you..... willwere.... will ware... wow. www stands for will ware website

Thanks for the encouragement! Funny you should mention the web, actually; one of my big plans is to buy a couple of domain names. For, uh, reasons.

Video content is go! Here’s a highlights reel from my recent streams of the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire! If you’ve never seen my streams or haven’t been able to make it to them, here’s a quick taste of what they’re like.

This is the first of (hopefully) many more, so I hope you enjoy!
