(Ah, pardon me while I try to answer a few similar asks in one!)

It’s not necessarily for the fact that I intentionally try to make any of the animatronics ‘less’ creepy whenever I draw them, it’s just how I happened to interpret them! And I have mentioned this once before; I have drawn Springtrap once before and actually posted it online. 

Where exactly, I don’t admit. And by now it could take a while to find. (And given how it apparently has been reposted a few times on Instagram, when I specifically asked for others to not do that on any website, I’ve been tempted to find it again and delete it from where I posted it.) But it is still out there.

I appreciate the understanding, thank you! dA is one of countless occurrences of theft, yes. And I wouldn’t say anyone would have to ask me for permission to draw FNAF, no matter who it is for. I don’t own the characters, hehe!

And thank you so much again! Very flattered! <3

That definitely wasn’t my direct intention, but I apologize in any case if it disheartens. There’s definitely multiple reasons for me no longer drawing it. Thefts, tracings, lack of credit, others claiming they drew it, repetition (for me personally); among other things. All in all, it was becoming a bit more stressful more than it was only fun. 

(And please know, I know that (obviously) not all fans of FNAF are like this. There are some wonderful individuals I’ve come across in this fandom. And that’s another reason I’m thankful for how popular this game is. But there’s usually at least one bad apple in every bunch, and there were (and still are) TOO many for me to simply ignore, let alone tolerate.

And best way I can do that is by not posting any art related to it anymore. And ultimately, I’ve stopped drawing it as often. Not only has it been effective (for the most part), but it’s a big weight off my shoulders. :)

And I’m very flattered and appreciative! Thank you so much! Will try my best! <3
