I love/miss this show. <3

I went through my inbox a bit today and saw I still had questions relating to art of it, but I’m still on an (as I shall call it) indefinite haitus from making any sort of FNAF art, even including any pairings. And please remember, folks, I don’t guarantee/promise I can draw every suggestion folks ask of me. :)
Hehe, speaking of which, I’m actually finding myself liking Freddy and Bonnie more whenever they’re paired up in any sort of situation. I think I can see why folks were really starting to like ‘em, much less asking me to draw it often a few months ago.
I feel I should clear the air a bit and apologies for pretty much stopping my silly and accidentally created.. “storyline/AU”(?) of Freddy crushing hard on Bonnie while Bon’ is just oblivious as ever. Honestly, it was mainly to satisfy folks that were requesting it often (as well as others that apparently liked seeing that sort of thing), but I was actually trying to settle this whole thing with Freddy spilling the beans around Christmas last year.
Given all that continued to happen with my FNAF stuff, though, I no longer had any 'determination’ or 'desire’ to finish it. But, I do still have the files on my Cintiq, and, while these past few weeks without really doing art of these animatronics have been refreshing, I have been considering finishing it soon just for the heck of it. No guarantee, but it is tempting. And I am still thinking of how I’d want Bonnie to reply, but all in all, it’ll be positive. :)
.. Ha, woops, pointless ramble! I guess I’m just trying to get myself in the mood to draw these robotic fluffs again on occassion, much less post! Ah, we shall see!
Hope everyone’ll have an amazing weekend! <3
finestelite-archive asked: Hey OrlandoFox, this message is probably going to get even but at least it's a try. I just want to say that I really love your art style because of how adorable you draw characters. So much that it has almost brought me to tears. Because of how well you draw the characters I compare it to my art and how I draw them, that I always think mine isn't good enough. I never like my art, I hate it so much. When I'm drawing I say to myself "Wow this is good!" And when I post it, I hate it. Any tips? :/
Aw, thank you! Really appreciate the thoughts! <:)
Aye, that’s definitely a struggling position to be in. I can’t say I recall ever being in that same particular position, but I do recall being dissatisfied with a piece upon completion and feeling the exact same way upon posting, perhaps even being a bit disappointed with myself and thinking, “Wow, you could’ve done better.”
And it’s okay to feel like that. Honestly, that sort of thing can actually help you see what flaws your work possibly contains, if not at least tells you what you can focus/improve upon! At least, that’s what I can to realize after some time!
I’m not sure if this could serve as a good tip (and I apologize if it just doesn’t), but really, just keep drawing. Continue to try and see the flaws you feel you make in your pieces that aren’t that good to show to anyone else. That will let you know where to direct your focus towards (sometimes even subconsciously). More so, don’t be afraid to post, even if you’re not satisfied! There’s likelihood that someone else could see it and make comment on it, perhaps one that could boost your confidence, if not even offer a tip or two!
It’s all part of the process of improving, though! Not every artist is satisfied with their work under any/all conditions at first (or even when they may imrpove their skills greatly). But just keep at it and try to keep that confidence, and you’ll find yourself being just as happy posting your work as you are making it.
It wasn’t until late last year I found myself able to come back to something I submited somewhere and I still found myself pleased enough with it. :)

bleh I love this silly penguin
Yes. ❤️❤️❤️
tearboyinyoursoul asked: You orlando, A Toy bonnie see him as a man or woman?
Hehe, my opinion on keeping Bonnie (old, toy, or any) as androgynous and no specific gender still stands! Not gender less necessarily, mind you, but still no specifics!
(Yes, I am aware they are technically male as confirmed by the second game. But regardless, I still like that bit of freedom with Bon’!)
Plus, whenever I drew Bonnie and people still had that bit of ‘debate’/'argument’ over this, I wanted to satisfy all parties. If they seem female to you, great! If you just stuck with male, just as great! Neither, 'cause robots, sweet! Anything inside/outside the spectrum, fantastic!
ihasjessiekat-deactivated202103 asked: Orlando, could you consider trying out drawing "golden bonnie?" and what do you think of it?
Technically (and ironically enough, given my responses to asks relating to FNAF yesterday), I actually did do a small/quick/unfinished something of the new animatronic. And more so publicly post it.
I will say, it should be veeery easy to find. It’s not really hidden, I’d think. But, I’d ask that if folks do happen to find it, :
Please do not repost it anywhere.
Again, if you know where this is, please do not publicly mention it’s location (be it through a text post, reblog, etc.
Please don’t edit it, use it as an icon, banner, or anything, anywhere.
I was already really hesitant to post it where I did, despite being most comfortable submitting many things there, and I didn’t really want to post it. But, it seemed to be a sort of.. ‘ritual’ to me to create something based off the FNAF games before/early in their initial release dates, I wanted to keep with it.
Perhaps when I feel comfortable posting FNAF things here again (and more so actually finish this said piece), I’ll just put it up here. But until then, I really want to try and keep that piece only where I submitted it. For folks that happen to find it, hehe, I hope I could still do animatronics justice! <:)
… AH, wow, rambling! My apologies!! Haha, in terms of what I think of it, I’m really intrigued, and actually somewhat creeped out by it! VERY excited for the third installment! <3
My gosh… this is far too sweet. Just… such kind words.
I’m super flattered I could’ve been so much of an inspiration as to help kick back up your interest in art! THAT’S the kind of stuff I love to hear people do under any circumstance!
I wish you great luck in continuing your art endeavors!! ❤️
(And I’m grateful for you folks, thank you. :’))
(AH, I’m sorry I can’t tag my ask posts right now, folks! Internet’s being really wonky with me lately so I have to reply with my phone, which also ‘restricts’ my use of text emoticons for some reason!)
But I hope ya’ll are having a good day/night!!
