You Guys Remember Pole-bear's Human Designs For The FNAF Animatronics, Right? Well, I've Been Feeling

You guys remember pole-bear's human designs for the FNAF animatronics, right? Well, I've been feeling kind of nostalgic for them lately. I always thought they were cute and fun takes on otherwise spooky characters.

I just wish they'd given the Withered animatronics proper designs.

Yeah, they drew a faceless Bonnie, and they made Freddy, Chica, and Foxy look tattered to show that they were "withered," but compare the actual Classic and Withered animatronics to each other. They may fundamentally be the same characters, but they have notably different designs between the two games. I wish pole-bear's art back in the day could have conveyed that.

That being said...

I found some colored pencils in my room, so I figured I'd give it a try, starting with my boy, my main man...

Withered Freddy

I wanted his outfit to have a more "antique" feel to it than their normal Freddy design, so I gave him a nice, classy suit with a tailed jacket. I thought a nice, deep chocolate brown color for his suit would really sell the upscale vintage aesthetic; however, it doesn't look the best here since I had to make do with a medium brown pencil and a black one...and I'm kinda trash at coloring anyway. The pants are a slightly lighter shade than the jacket here, but I might change them to be the same in the future. The bandages around his knees coincide with the actual Withered Freddy's leg damage, and I included a few smaller rips and tears for good measure.

Here's a closer look at his face. It's pretty close to the basic pole-bear Freddy face, but to match his in-game counterpart, his pupils are always glowing white. I like to draw all my Freddys (Freddies?) with little fangs, too.

Stay tuned for Bonnie. ^^

I've survived all my finals!!!

Best one? Chemistry. Even though it was at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Chemistry was my easiest class this semester by far. I even had time to write some of the FNAF lore on the back; I had been joking with my professor that I would tell him all the lore one day.

Worst one? Experimental Physics. It should have been easy, but my horrible time management skills wrecked me. It wasn't a traditional final, but a project with an accompanying poster, presentation, and lab report.

So yeah. My life is no longer chaos. ROTTMNT incorrect quotes will resume tonight!

So, how has everyone's week been going?

If it's been bad, don't worry. I'm right there with you. I've basically been swinging between these two states:

Man, I wish my responses to stress were actually productive. :(

Yes!!! I'm lucky that my school is in the middle of Amish Town, Nowhereville, USA, so the areas surrounding campus have skies dark enough to see the Milky Way. On campus, though? Blue lights everywhere, all night. The dimmest thing you'll see is maybe Polaris. And forget trying to observe the night sky close to the city. The light pollution from one small college campus is nothing compared to the light emanating from a whole city.

Oh, and to heck with non-shaded street lights. Thanks to this stupid light right in front of my house (that shines right into my bedroom window, by the way), I can't even see the Pleiades Cluster when I'm at home.

Casual Aro-spec and A-spec Erasure 🙃

So, I was visiting a gallery in my home city, and they had some interesting items for sale. One of them was a neat-looking postcard from 1920s France that said "Bonne Année" (French for "Happy New Year"), and I wanted to buy it. The seller made some remark about how it will "attract my lover to me," I guess since it has a romantic picture on it. When I said that I only really want dogs in my life, she said that I'd eventually change my mind.

Then she told the cashier. They joked about it a bit, then started to put everything together so I could pay for the postcard.

I tried to just stay quiet and move on; I didn't want to cause trouble, especially since the seller knows one of my aunts. We talked about other things for a while, but then she brought it up again, unprompted. She said that I'd meet a man who's interested in the same things I am, and we'd connect. I said that I'd ideally just be friends with this hypothetical man, but she laughed it off and said once again that I'd change my mind.

So yeah. That was annoying. I know she didn't mean serious harm; she was very sweet and friendly to me otherwise, and she even gave me a 44% discount on the postcard when I went to buy it just for the heck of it. But man, I wish romance and physical attraction weren't always assumed to be parts of everyone's lives.

You know how Raph is afraid of puppets, right? Well...

I might do a full list of FNAF headcanons for the Mad Dogs, but I just had to draw this.
