I'll sometimes leave notes on artists that leave an impact larger than being underappreciated.

@Cobalt-C3rberus
@Juicedupmangoes - Unscouted, and for some ungodly reason has 90 Followers, one of which is me. Somebody scout'em for god's sake!
many many many thanks for including me, it's super sweet to see my name in there!! i'll be sure to have a peek at everyone else in the list - this stuff brings me joy!!
since i'm here i figured i'd take a shot at the questions everyone seems to be answering, because i've been looking for a way to engage more with the community side of NG (and also a way to get me more motivated to draw!!)
but first, i'd like to recommend some artists i think need more love!
@zxc6713 - really cool character designs!!
@Ronan10G8 - great style, colours and expressions!!
@pompeyraptor - absolutely adorable characters!!
and i'd be remiss if i didn't put @kiotoonyando on this list, since his fox sticker has adorned the back of my phone for ages now!!
so uh, who am i?
i go by sleeeeeenky, or slinky if that works better, and i'm a funny little game developer from new zealand!! i do art just because designing & drawing cool fellas makes me really happy.
what do i make?
my main shtick is making games, as i'm currently a game dev student, so most of my art is all character-y stuff. lots of angsty looking dudes with various weapons!! lots of big circle heads and squinty eyes and big teeth and stupid ears looking all angsty!! but in a real colourful way, since i really defined my style using only the brush tool in adobe illustrator. me likey crisp lines and bright colours. i also play the drums in a funny little band, so i guess that's creative output as well.
what got you into art?
i was always doodling as a kid, but my art really kicked into full swing when i wanted to impress my new uni classmates a couple years back. as of late, though, i've wanted to get away from just trying to impress my friends, so i post all my art exclusively on NG, where none of my friends know it is.......
what are some goals you wanna achieve?
i'd like to be frontpaged someday, that'd be cool, and i'd like to be able to start my own indie game studio after uni, if all goes well.
that's me!! thanks so much for the mention, @DesertSage, and thanks to everyone else here for making this a thing! it's super cool.
