I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go... Here's a neat little recreation I made of Michael Franks' CLASSIC 1980 album "One Bad Habit", featuring the Purple Guy Animatronic! As always, hope y'all love it! Model credit is in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

The Purple Guy Animatronic is seen standing with his hands behind his back in front of a tall open locker filled with clothing and personal trinkets. At the top of the image, baby blue text against a brown wall reads "PURPLE GUY ANIMATRONIC" and "ONE BAD HABIT", and at the bottom-left, my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit to Project FNAF and Cloudspecman for making this PEAK Purple Guy Animatronic model, here's the link to where I found it, my deepest thanks to them both: https://www.deviantart.com/cloudspecman/art/Project-FNaF-2-Pack-Blender-3-0-Port-1081526082).

Anyone who was alive during the 80s most definitely heard of this man off quiet storm radio, but for any younger/unaware folks, let me (like always) do my little breakdown: Michael Franks was born to a music-loving family in Southern California, having grown up listening to the likes of Peggy Lee and Nat King Cole. By the time he was 14, he bought his first guitar and was given six private music lessons, and just like that, that was all he needed. In the mid-70s, he signed with Warner Bros. and released several beloved/successful smooth jazz albums that got heavy (and I do mean HEAVY) airplay on radio, and what's crazy is that he did all this off SIX private music lessons from when he was a teen, he never received any other form of music education after that, so either he was just a natural prodigy or he kept those six lessons close to his heart, either way it's still genuinely impressive.

This album of his is a really good example of how playful/sincere he is, my personal highlights are "All Dressed Up With Nowhere to Go", "Lotus Blossom", "On My Way Home to You", "Loving You More and More", and "He Tells Himself He’s Happy", these songs are ones I ALWAYS go back to. I wouldn't exactly say this is my PERSONAL favorite album from Michael, but it's still a great album in an amazing discography if that makes sense? But yeah, I hope y'all check it out, and I hope y'all love this render of mine! It's a bit more relaxed than my previous renders, but in a way, that kinda just represents the album it's recreating, LOL! Take care everyone!

Share your love (and love goes on)... Happy 12th anniversary FNAF! To celebrate the big day, here's a recreation I made of Earth, Wind & Fire's PHENOMENAL 1980 album "Faces", featuring a whole BUNCH of characters! Hope y'all truly love this one! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Many characters from throughout the FNAF series are seen standing side-by-side with one another while wearing white clothing and facing forward. In the middle of the image, Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy, Withered Freddy, Golden Freddy, Montgomery Gator, Springtrap, Fredbear, and Spring Bonnie are shown standing in an almost pyramid-like grouping while a white and orange glow envelops them. Inside this grouping is an actual pyramid depicting a view of the FNAF 1 office and an orange glowing light inside of it (this pyramid also has a white glow to it and is where my signature resides). At the very top of the image, a purple rectangle with big gold regal text reads "FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S".

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right.

It's no secret that these past few months have been a ROUGH time to be a FNAF fan, both in small and big and even tragic ways. But despite everything, this community (or at least, the creative side of it) has found a way to turn water into wine EVERY time and remind me WHY I'm still a fan of this franchise 12 years later. From the fanart to the fangames to the fansongs to the cosplays to the theories to the fanmade models to the animations to even the memes, I don't think it would be particularly crazy to say that FNAF owes a massive chunk of its current relevance to its fanbase. I could legit go on ALL day listing examples, but even now, with things like Frickbear's 3, the Walten Files, Markiplier returning to FNAF, Knuckles' Week at Sonic's, The Magic Hour, Forgotten at Fredbear's, the new TLT FNAF song, the new sneak peeks of the TJOC remake, etc, it's all just so beautiful. I still can't comprehend the fact that we're blessed with this kind of stuff completely free of charge from people who are usually not even out of high school yet. This community is full of genuine visionaries, and it's about time they receive their flowers.

To the creative and talented folks in this community, I just wanna say: Thank you. You may not know it yet, but just your existence alone has brought so much love and happiness to the world. I don't want you to ever believe that you haven't made a difference in people's lives. From the bottom of my heart, I love you. I don't exactly know what's gonna be in store for FNAF in these next couple years, but as long as y'all exist, I know it's gonna be alright. You know, I feel as though in a way, this render represents what it means to be a FNAF fan: We all come from different walks of life, and we may not always agree on the same things, but at our core, we are all dedicated to this franchise one way or another. For a moment, even briefly, we are one.

Due to just how many unique models I used for this render, I had to make a completely separate image listing out all the credits for the original model creators/contributors in color-coded squares. I want to give my deepest and sincerest thanks to all these creators for making these models, without their incredible talents this render wouldn't have even been possible in the first place. If you can, please give these creators a follow (whether it be through DeviantArt or the Steam Workshop), they truly deserve the world.

It was a sacred kind of love... To honor Mixlas and his legacy, here's a recreation I made of Grover Washington Jr.'s exceptional 1989 album "Time Out of Mind", featuring Mike. May your beautiful soul rest, Mixlas. Model credits are in the ALT text below. #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Mike (the beaver wearing the white cap and overalls) is seen standing in a grassy field during the early morning with his back turned. He has his left hand resting on his head and his right hand grasping a saxophone. At the top of the image, thin white text with a pink shadow reads "MIKE", and directly underneath it, that same white text (with a bolder/flatter look to it) reads "TIME OUT OF MIND".

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right. As I used multiple unique models for this render, credits for everything are down below, my deepest thanks to everyone for creating these blessed models.

1. Mike: Model by Mixlas. Link to model: https://gamejolt.com/p/mike-3d-model-and-contest-ueb44md6

2. Saxophone: Model by Mr_Nachtmahr on Sketchfab. Link to model: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/realistic-saxophone-1f5185760cdf4d6390d29b1df830bd8e

Before I head on out, I would like to say this: Mixlas, thank you. Thank you for creating such incredible fangames, thank you for being such a visionary, and thank you for being so utterly kind and blessing us with your presence. You were one of the greatest to ever do it, and from the bottom of my heart, I will continue to remember you for decades to come. The next generation of FNAF fans need to know how much you all changed our lives, and it will forever hurt that you aren’t here with us anymore. But I know you’re still with us in heart, body, and soul. I don’t believe in people being gone when they die, because as long as we have faith, there will always be a you. I love you Mixlas, and I’ll deeply miss you. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family, and I hope the journey to reach the rainbow bridge is a peaceful one. Everyone, please take care, and never forget to love one another.

As one final parting gift, I have written a short eulogy to Mixlas. Though the text is in the image itself, I figured it would be convenient to have it in transcript form, so here it is:

"Growing up, Mixlas was one of my all-time favorite creators in the FNAF community. From the very beginning all the way back in 2017, I was an 11-year-old boy utterly mystified by his talent. Even now, as a 20-year-old, I yearn to one day be as much of a visionary as he was. And that's why it so deeply pains me to have to deliver this message, because I never thought a day like this would come so soon.

We don't talk enough about how much of a silent killer depression is. It slowly but surely destroys you from the inside out, and by the time the signs are fully visible, it's just too late. It terrifies me to imagine how much pain Mixlas was most likely going through, because you begin to spiral and wonder what you could've said or done differently. You even begin to wonder if, somehow, you could've saved him from it all. But I know Mixlas wouldn't want us to give in to despair, and now, more than ever, we all need to be there for each other. I can't stress enough how much even a simple 'hey, is everything alright?' could be the difference between life and death for the person on the other end.

If you have a friend who you haven't talked to in a while, or even notice that a friend has been acting slightly differently than usual, it never hurts to send them a message. Reaching out has never been more important in this digital age of cynicism. We must all love one another the same way we loved Mixlas and his creations, and we must all pay our respects. Rest in peace Mixlas, may your family find closure and may you continue to forge the path between Heaven and Earth.

Goodbye my friend, you will always be in my heart for as long as I live."

I'll try a little every day for you... Featuring Dee Dee and Endoplush, here's a recreation of one-off duo Byrne and Barnes' INCREDIBLY underrated 1981 album "An Eye for an Eye"! Enjoy everybody! Credit to BennetJL for these WONDERFUL models! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Against a blue backdrop, Dee Dee (the animatronic girl with the pink nose) is seen lying down with her eyes closed, and a shadow is cast over the side of her face. Lying down on Dee Dee's nose (though in a more frontal position) is Endoplush (the small endoskeleton robot). On the left side of the image, white italicized text with a faint purple shadow on it reads "An Eye for An Eye", while that same white italicized text (without the purple shadow) on the right side of the image reads "Dee Dee and Endoplush". On the top-right, my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right.

Despite living relatively separate lives, Robert Byrne (who sadly passed away in 2005) and Brendan Barnes had one big similarity between them: They LOVED to sing and write songs. From the 80s to the 2000s, they helped to create HUNDREDS (and yes, I do mean hundreds) of hit songs for some of the biggest artists around. Just to name a FEW of those artists, you got Earth, Wind & Fire, Phil Collins, the Pointer Sisters, Ronnie Milsap, Michael Johnson, Mac McAnally, Dottie West, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Boyz II Men, CeCe Peniston, the list goes on. Sharing a love of smooth West Coast-produced soft rock, the two met up at some point and decided to team up to create the very album you're seeing here. Why in the world they didn't continue to make music together after this album (or why this album was ONLY released in Japan) is a mystery to me, but regardless of all that, good lord is this album a fucking GEM.

I'm genuinely not exaggerating when I say this album has some of the best soft rock you'll ever hear. It's so lush but it's also never too sophisticated. From the moment you hear the first song "Never Gonna Stop Lovin' You", you already know you're in for a ride! And even with ballads like "One More Try for Love" and "Standby Lover", you never feel like they're trying to be bigger than they are. Hell, I wasn't kidding when I mentioned the album having funky/soulful aspects, songs like "Crack the Whip" and "Right Through the Heart" couldn't sound more 80s if they tried, LOL. There isn't a single song on this album that feels like it goes on for too long or just doesn't hit hard, and that's legitimately impressive considering this is an 11-SONG ALBUM (and that's not even including the two bonus tracks included in the 2001 reissue)! You guys should seriously listen to the rest of the album when you get the chance, you won't regret it a single bit!

You just have to wait now (it's alright)... Starring Dee Dee, here's a recreation of Dave Mason's BANGIN' 1977 album "Let It Flow"! I wanted to make a water-themed Dee Dee drawing for a while now, so I hope y'all love it! Rock and roll me away baby... #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Dee Dee (the animatronic girl with the big propeller hat) is seen standing on the left side of an underwater landscape with rocks at the bottom, and bubbles are coming out of her mouth. The entire image is framed inside an uneven red border, and at the top-right side of the image, orange rounded rectangles are placed on the left and bottom-right parts of a white/black/teal typhoon spiral. Lowercase white fancy text is placed on the rounded rectangles, and the text reads "Dee Dee" and "Let It Flow". At the bottom-right, my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right.

As a kid, Dave Mason was inspired by the likes of Hank Marvin, Elmore James, and Buddy Guy, and by 1964, he was already making connections by joining the Hellions, a local band in Worcester that was QUITE in demand. At one point, he even managed to become a roadie for the Spencer Davis Group! But 1967 was when he REALLY hit his stride by being a part of the band Traffic, which could be a topic in its own right! And I'd be remiss to not mention some of his session work with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, AND Fleetwood Mac! In the 70s however, Dave split from Traffic and went on to form his own solo career, and over the decade he would release albums of varying success (at least chart-wise). Once the 80s rolled around, Dave went through a bit of a hiatus and sporadically released albums for multiple different labels in the years that followed, but he continued to tour as much as one COULD tour. Tragically, due to health issues, Dave passed away just a couple months ago in April at the age of 79.

Though it was only recently that I discovered Dave Mason, once I heard of his passing and listened to this album of his, I thought of making this drawing in part to honor him and his legacy, not only because he deserves it, but also because this album is truly just a blast all around. I listen to songs like "Mystic Traveler" and I legit imagine myself just flying into the night without a worry, and "You Just Have to Wait Now" sounds like something I would've heard in a road trip comedy movie (and I mean that in the best way possible). "What Do We Got Here?" is also one of my favorites, but you know I love me a good saxophone number, so I might be biased, LOL. But man, it's really something special, and I hope y'all listen to it sometime! Rest easy Mr. Mason, even though you've been let go, our tears will still flow.

I'll be with you all the way... To end June on a good note, here's a recreation of the late and great Paul Davis' WONDERFUL self-titled 1980 album, featuring Withered Freddy! Model credit is in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Withered Freddy (the big broken-down animatronic bear) is seen standing with a forlorn expression on his face in front of a white backdrop with a heavy dark brown shadow cast on its right side. Fancy navy blue text on the top-left simply reads "Withered Freddy", and on the bottom-left, my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit to Project FNAF and Cloudspecman for making this SUPER cool Withered Freddy model, here's the link to where I found it, my deepest thanks to them both: https://www.deviantart.com/cloudspecman/art/Project-FNaF-2-Pack-Blender-3-0-Port-1081526082).

As a child growing up in Mississippi, Paul's first experience with music came from church, and by the time he was barely even out of high school, he was already looking to make his own music. He started in the late 60s as a singer-songwriter for local bands before joining Bang Records in 1970, where he would then release several minor hits throughout most of the decade until he went BIG in 1977 with his album "Singer of Songs, Teller of Tales". To put things in perspective, his biggest hit from that album, "I Go Crazy", spent 40 WEEKS on the Billboard Hot 100, which was unprecedented at the time! While Paul would eventually become disillusioned with the music industry during the 80s (and fully retired from it by 1988), he still continued to contribute many hits of his own AND for other artists. Tragically, Paul would pass away from a heart attack only a day after his 60th Birthday in 2008, but the love and joy he expressed through his music is also expressed in his legacy to this day, and I personally think that's very sweet.

This album of his truly something else man, and I mean that in the best way possible. You'd think with him looking forlorn on the cover and having song titles like "Let Me Know if It’s Over" and "Cry Just a Little", it'd be an angsty album, but no, it's legit the opposite. EVERY song on this album is incredibly smooth and upbeat, and even when the lyrics talk about things like breakups and memories, it's in a genuinely emotional way. Now, does the album SOMETIMES border on "roller skating rink" music? Yeah. But I'd gladly take that over something that just feels like it's trying too hard you know?

A few days ago, I stumbled upon this SUPER cute animation of JJ originally made by "DOUBLEBBBATTERY" on Twitter, and I loved it so much I thought I'd redraw it in my own style! Please go give the original artist some love, he ESPECIALLY deserves it! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Against a slightly off-white backdrop, JJ (the girl in the middle of the image) is seen standing and waving in front of a big purple gradient-colored heart, with her body being outlined in that same off-white color. On the sides of the off-white backdrop, Dee Dee (the girl on the left) and Balloon Boy (the boy on the right) are seen framed. On the top-left side of the image, purple gradient-colored text reads "JJ's LOVE DANCE (Heart to Heart)", and on the top-right side, my signature resides.

As with my album cover recreations, the original image is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (here's the link to the original animation, again I implore y'all to go follow this artist, he makes some pretty neat redesigns of the Balloon Kids: https://nitter.net/DOUBLEBBBATTERY/status/2061110386922061995#m).

I gotta say, recreating this was a TON of fun! I think I've gotten so used to drawing/rendering album cover recreations and holiday celebrations that it feels rejuvenating just making art for art's sake (not that I wasn't doing that before, but you know what I mean). I was initially worried that I wouldn't be able to do the original animation (and its artist) justice because of my more "static" method of drawing, but looking at it now that it's fully finished, I really don't know what I was so worried about! At the end of the day, it's the thought that counts, and I mainly drew this BECAUSE I respect the original artist and everything he draws. It's not every day you come across a FNAF fan who's so enamored with the Balloon Kids specifically, but it's our differences that also make us human (as cheesy as that sounds, LOL). Ry, if you're reading this, stay goated AND talented!

Let's make it together... Happy Pride Month everybody! To celebrate, here's a recreation of Masaki Matsubara's SERIOUSLY underrated 1983 album "Painted Woman", featuring Dee Dee and JJ! Hope you guys love it as much as one can love another! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #pridemonth

A close-up of Dee Dee's and JJ's legs (shown left and right respectively) is shown against a yellow backdrop with an orange drop shadow. Underneath said drop shadow, a wide black rectangle is displayed with big fancy light blue lowercase text in the middle of it reading "painted women", and much smaller light pink bold text underneath that reads "DEE DEE & JJ". On the top-left of the rectangle, my signature resides in the same color as the light pink text.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right.

For those unaware, Masaki Matsubara was a guitarist who was QUITE popular/known in Japan, especially for his contributions as a session musician across nearly every genre you could think of. This particular album of his is pretty notable, not only because it was his ONLY album to ever be released outside of Japan (being given an American release in 1984), but also because of it featuring Eric Tagg on vocals, and anybody who knows Lee Ritenour most definitely also knows who Eric Tagg is. Tragically, Masaki passed away in 2016 from duodenal cancer, and it's incredibly unfortunate that he never got to live long enough to see his music make a resurgence amongst a whole-new generation of people. This whole album is genuinely FANTASTIC, and I HIGHLY recommend y'all check it out if you wanna hear some classic jazz-funk!

I know life's been hard (if not outright draconic) lately, but, you know, rain could never wash away a rainbow as bright as your heart and soul, so I ask of you all to never give up and be as you are. Don't let the politicians/policies/bigots prevent you from being YOU. Do what you can when you can, and it'll all turn out alright in the end, I just know it. I believe in y'all from the bottom of my heart. Take care everyone, and I'll see y'all next time!

As a neat little bonus, I've also gone and recreated the original album's back cover! A portrait of Dee Dee and JJ are seen standing next to each other in front of a pale yellow/orange backdrop. In said portrait, Dee Dee is seen with her eyes closed and is blushing, while JJ is seen with her right hand wrapped around Dee Dee's shoulder with a wink on her face. This display is framed inside a thin black square, and said black square is placed in the upper-middle of a light pink border. On the sides of the square, thin white rectangles with thin black outlines are presented, and bold black text inside the rectangle reads the characters' names (so "DEE DEE" on the left, "JJ" on the right). At the bottom of the square in the upper-middle, black typewriter-like text is placed, reading:

"I think I fell in love with you at first sight. I know your love wasn't for free, but I don't care where you've been or what you've done. You're the one I need to talk to... I'd love to take you far away and offer you a chance to change your life... I guess it must be love!"

At the bottom-right of the light pink border, bold black text reads "HAPPY PRIDE MONTH", and at the bottom-left, my signature resides.

Ain't nothin' for a heartache... To end May on a cool note, here's a recreation of Larry Carlton's absolutely GNARLY 1980 album "Strikes Twice", featuring Nightmare Bonnie! Hope y'all love this one! Model credits are in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Nightmare Bonnie (the heavily damaged animatronic bunny on the left side of the image) is seen standing and staring at the night sky while strumming his also badly damaged guitar, with two thunderbolts striking down on a city in the distance. This entire display is framed inside a black border, and at the top-left side of said border, fancy white music note-like text imposed on thin red lines reads "Nightmare Bonnie". At the bottom-right side of the image, slightly spaced-out blue bold text reads "STRIKES TWICE", and at the bottom-left, my signature resides (also in blue).

Seeing as how I recently redesigned JJ, I figured I might as well redesign BB too, and this time, he's rockin' some SUPER cool suspenders! I admit, his glow-up isn't AS notable as JJ's, but hey, I still hope y'all love it all the same! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

You know the drill by now, the raw information of the redesign itself is in the image, so apologies if you have to zoom in to read it all!

Though I kinda already implied this in the text of the image, I figured I'd might as well go into it a bit deeper: Usually, most other FNAF artists would redesign the Balloon Kids in game order (from BB to JJ to Dee Dee), but in my case, I actually did the opposite (from Dee Dee to JJ to BB)! I think my decision to tackle them in reverse order mostly came from me not wanting to center my redesign project SOLELY on chronological order, as that would put unnecessary pressure on my back and would essentially force me to have to redesign characters almost on the fly without much conceptualizing/planning. But also, I just think it's fun to be unpredictable about this sort of thing, because you never know if I might decide to redesign someone like Fredbear next, or someone like Endoplush. I have to admit, there isn't really an ENDGAME to my redesign project, the inherent goal is to redesign everyone from FNAF 1-SOTM, but of course I'm only human and with my track record (and with FNAF ever continuing), this isn't something I wanna straight-up BOUND myself to you know? At the very least, I PLAN to redesign everyone from FNAF 1-UCN (or if I wanna make things as easy as possible for myself, everyone from FNAF 1-4). And I haven't even talked about me redesigning FAN characters yet, so yeah, safe to say this whole project is simply for the love of the game. I know I'm not gonna be able to redesign EVERYONE under the sun, but that's ok, because I'd rather have people discuss and analyze the designs I WAS able to make than to force myself to try to redesign everyone for the sake of just "completing" the project. That was certainly a yap session, but hey, it's the truth!

Here's a side-by-side showing the differences between my old BB redesign (on the left side with the text that reads "old") and my new BB redesign (on the right side with the text that reads "new"). If you want a more in-depth description of the differences between both designs, here you go:

New BB (on the right) has a flatter cap with a more accurate propeller design, his hair is a bit of a lighter brown, his eyes no longer have an additional sparkle to them, his nose has been made bigger, his shirt collar has been completely redrawn (and he now has a proper neck), he's been given added buttons for said collar, his torso has been made a bit more square-like, he's now wearing suspenders with his shirt, his shirt buttons have been made slightly smaller, his arms and legs have been made more animatronic-like, he's no longer wearing gloves, he's now properly holding a big balloon and sign like his canon design, his shorts were completely redrawn (and now have proper drawstrings), his shoes have been made smoother in shape, and he now has EXCEPTIONALLY better shading than before. As I stated, BB's redesign isn't QUITE as much of a glow-up as my other redesigns, but I felt as though his old design was nearly perfect as is, so this is more so just a "definitive edition" if that makes sense?

TheLegend87 @thelegend877.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I'm back again with another FNAF redesign showcase, and this time, JJ's the star of the show! She's gotten a MASSIVE glow-up since I last drew her, and honestly, I think she might be my best redesign yet! Hope y'all love it! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

As with my previous redesign showcases, the core information of the redesign itself is in the image, so you might have to zoom in to read it all. But I wanna take this time to give a special shout-out to a fellow FNAF artist who has so deeply inspired me and several others: SuperBioman4! Many, MANY years ago, I stumbled across an edited render he made of JJ (which you can check out here: https://www.deviantart.com/superbioman4/art/JJ-567553720), and in said render, JJ was holding a sign that read "Games!". This seems like such an innocuous detail in the grand scheme of things, but no joke, it's stuck with me for SUCH a long time that it's lowkey become a whole-ass praxis for how I've gone about characterizing JJ! This isn't actually mentioned in the redesign showcase itself, but I personally like to headcanon that JJ isn't able to make balloons as intricate as BB can, but she's much more knowledgeable on arcade games, and she would be stationed in the arcade section of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza helping out kids who were struggling with the games. It really IS crazy how much a simple little fanmade render from 2015 influenced me, but it's the truth, and I implore all of you reading this to give SuperBioman4 some love, he's an underrated GEM of an artist! MUCH love and credit to him!

Here's a side-by-side showing the differences between my old JJ redesign (on the left side with the text that reads "old") and my new JJ redesign (on the right side with the text that reads "new"). If you want a more in-depth description of the differences between both designs, here you go:

New JJ (on the right) has a traditional sideways cap instead of a propeller cap, her hair color is now a dark purple, her hairstyle has been made longer, her left eye is now properly layered behind her bangs instead of in front of it, her nose has been made slightly bigger, her shirt collar has been completely redrawn (and she now has a proper neck), she now has additional buttons for said collar, she's been given a blue and yellow vest to accompany her shirt, her arms and legs have been made more animatronic-like, she's no longer wearing gloves, she's been given a big balloon and a sign to hold instead of being propless, her shorts were made a lighter color and the drawstrings of said shorts are properly drawn now, her shoes have a smoother look to them, and generally speaking, she's drawn in a higher quality with substantially better shading than before. Yeah, safe to say JJ's gotten the glow-up of a LIFETIME!

Hot rod hearts... Featuring Blank, here's a recreation of Robbie Dupree's 1980 self-titled debut album, one of my all-time FAVORITE soft rock albums! It ain't anything too crazy, but I still hope y'all love it! Model credit is in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

A close-up portrait of Blank (the slightly disheveled-looking animatronic in the middle of the image) is seen framed inside a large white border. The entire image itself is in grayscale, and on the top-left, bold black text simply reads "BLANK". On the bottom-right, my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit to DiscoHead for making this AWESOME model of Blank, here's the link to where I got it from, much love to them: https://www.deviantart.com/discoheadofficial/art/FNaC-Inaccurate-Pack-Release-Blender-2-9-904505372).

You're probably wondering who the hell Robbie Dupree is, and unfortunately I wouldn't blame you since his peak was in the early 80s, but MAN was it a good peak! Inspired by the likes of such legends (no pun intended) as Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke, Robbie started out in the 70s performing in clubs with such people as THE Nile Rodgers before moving to Los Angeles in 1978 to officially kickstart his solo career. For all intents and purposes, this man is a hidden gem of the soft rock genre, and this album of his is proof of that. Everything about it is just wonderful from beginning to end, and even when it gets all sentimental and cheesy with its sole ballad ("We Both Tried"), it never takes away from how incredibly infectious the rest of the album is. Like, when you listen to songs like "I'm No Stranger" and you just hear that saxophone going CRAZY at the very beginning, you KNOW you're about to hear peak. I HIGHLY recommend y'all listen to the rest of the album, it's some genuinely great stuff!

Long way home... I wanted to end March on a good note, so I hope y'all love this render of Rockstar Freddy and Rockstar Bonnie recreating England Dan and John Ford Coley's neat 1976 album "Nights Are Forever"! Model credits are in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Rockstar Freddy (the brown bear with the purple top hat/bowtie) and Rockstar Bonnie (the blue rabbit with the red bowtie) are seen standing side-by-side in front of a dark brown backdrop. Lime green-colored text on the top reads "ROCKSTAR FREDDY & ROCKSTAR BONNIE" and "NIGHTS ARE FOREVER". The entire image itself is framed inside a lime green-colored border, and on the bottom-left is where my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit to Urall and Cloudspecman for making these SICK models of Rockstar Freddy and Rockstar Bonnie, here's the link to where I got them from, much love to them: https://www.deviantart.com/cloudspecman/art/UU6FMP-Blender-3-0-4-0-Port-1208513120).

Allow me to (like always) give some context on the artist (or in this case, artists) I decided to shout-out today: England Dan and John Ford Coley had known each other since high school, and they initially started out as just a local cover band in their hometown of Dallas, but their first big break came when they toured with psychedelic rock band Southwest F.O.B.. Through the success of the band's sole hit "The Smell of Incense", Dan and Coley found themselves opening for such bands as Led Zeppelin and Three Dog Night. In 1970, they decided to split from Southwest F.O.B. to do their own thing, and from that point on, the duo of England Dan and John Ford Coley was officially created. They signed with A&M Records and recorded a total of 2 albums for the label before ultimately/unfortunately being let go in 1972. This caused the duo to essentially go on hiatus, but in 1976, they made a comeback after signing with Big Tree Records and released their first album in 4 years, that album being Nights Are Forever!

Slightly garish/generic album cover aside, I genuinely REALLY rock with this album. Dan and Coley's voices sound smooth as silk and when they harmonize on songs like "I’d Really Love To See You Tonight" and "It’s Not the Same", you FEEL their vulnerability. Even the songs that are much more country than rock (like "Westward Wind" and "Showboat Gambler") still sound cool, and this is coming from a guy who's almost never really liked country music like that. Even if this album isn't your exact cup of tea, I still at least hope you like the render!

Only a dreamer... I figured a little render wouldn't hurt anybody, so here's a recreation I made of rock band Pages' self-titled 1981 album, featuring Withered Freddy and Withered Bonnie! Model credits are in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Withered Freddy (the broken-down brown bear on the left) is seen with his hands on his hips and a stern look on his face. Behind him is Withered Bonnie (the broken-down blue rabbit) standing in a more reserved pose. Nearly the entire image (except for the text on the top-right and my signature) has a sepia-like filter to it. The backdrop is a dark-to-light gradient, and it's adorned by palm trees. On the top-right is a light red brush stroke with fancy white text placed inside it, reading "Fazbear". On the bottom-right is where my signature resides.

Happy Women's History Month/International Women's Day everybody! To celebrate, I'd like to officially present my brand-new Dee Dee redesign! Also included as a bonus are some neat concept designs! Hope y'all love it! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth

Like with my previous redesign showcases, the core information of the redesign itself is in the image, so you might have to zoom in to read it all! If you've been following me for a while, you probably already know how much I LOVE Dee Dee. I've been drawing her for YEARS at this point, and with every year comes me attempting to essentially reinvent the wheel and keep her fresh, and this year's no different! I truly hope y'all love this redesign, it took a LOT of trial and error to make sure everything looked top-of-the-line you know?

Also I'm gonna be so real, the stars sort of aligned when it came to making this whole thing. I don't think you'll catch me making a drawing that ends up being so beautifully timed ever again, or at least not for a WHILE you know? But back to the topic at hand, I wanted to dedicate this redesign showcase to every woman everywhere: Please know that even when times are tough, it's important to be even tougher. Your body IS your choice, and you deserve to be respected and treated as the beauty you are. I know we're living in scary times right now, but truly, there's nothing you or anyone else CAN'T do. I'm fully aware of the fact that FNAF as a series has infamously never really handled its female characters too well (Toy Chica/Ballora/Roxanne Wolf are just seen as goonerbait, JJ and Bonnet have no personality beyond just being BB/Bon-Bon recolors, Charlie's a robot, Vanessa came and went with zero flare/support, we have no idea who Mrs. Afton was, Eleanor barely gets to DO anything, and Fiona Murray's literally dead), but I want to push the envelope and show that, no, it doesn't HAVE to be this way. FNAF absolutely has the blueprint to do more with its female characters, and I pray that one day a new female FNAF character will be introduced that won't be shafted or be an extension of an already existing (male) character.

Redesigning Dee Dee was surprisingly difficult, not necessarily because she was hard to draw or anything, but just because I didn't really know HOW to go about redesigning her. As I stated in the other attached image's ALT text, I was trying to essentially reinvent the wheel with Dee Dee, and considering how long I've been drawing her, it got to a point where I had to make MULTIPLE concepts for what she would look like (at least outfit-wise). The first design option was a "classic" look, which would've made her look as accurate to her canon design as realistically possible. I scrapped that one because I felt I could do better, and I didn't want to be TOO faithful (or else all my other redesigns would be naked by that logic). The second design option was a "modern" look that was essentially me imagining what Dee Dee would look like in a more contemporary setting. She gained overalls, more detailed shorts, and an alternate shoe design. Although it visually looked cool, I felt as though it was still missing something special, and honestly, LOTS of others have redesigned Dee Dee with overalls, so I wasn't exactly making something revolutionary you know?

But, this is when we finally get to the last design option, which was aptly named the "fusion" look. This design combined the best aspects of the previous 2 designs (simple shoes, detailed shorts, buttoned-up collar, etc) and added in a defining detail that I just KNEW I had to keep: A raincoat! As Dee Dee is canonically a fisherwoman, I wanted to give her something that suited her occupation while also making her stand out compared to everyone else. This "fusion" design was the closest to the final design, but as I'm sure you've noticed, the final design contains some differences that generally complement Dee Dee's style even better! Let me know which of these 3 designs you prefer, as I think they all work in their own right!

The one you love... Happy 10th anniversary FNAC 2! To celebrate (and to end February on a good note), here's a rendered recreation of Glenn Frey's pretty neat 1982 album "No Fun Aloud", featuring Withered New Candy! Model credits are in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #fnac

Withered New Candy (the broken-down animatronic cat) is seen holding a black guitar in front of a white background. Above him is black bold text reading "Withered New Candy", and to the right of him is a white wall with a sign reading "NO FUN ALOUD" with a crossed-out symbol of a guitar. On the bottom-right is where my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit/much love to Arrechebautista and MrSpringy for making this SUPER cool Withered New Candy model, you can check it out here: https://www.deviantart.com/realmrspringy/art/Blender-FNAC-2-The-Twins-Pack-Release-1172954613. Additional credits to Torres and Weeez for creating the Unwithered Bonnie guitar model used in this render, here's the link to it: https://www.deviantart.com/weeezstudios/art/Blender-UnWithered-Models-Retexture-Release-1215177618).

I'd like to believe most of y'all recognize Glenn Frey (and if you don't then my GOD am I getting old), but for those of you unaware, Glenn Frey was the founding member of the Eagles, one of THE biggest/most successful rock bands of the 70s. When I say the Eagles were big, they were BIG. They made classics like "Take It Easy", "Desperado", "Tequila Sunrise", "Best of My Love", "I Can't Tell You Why", and SO many more. And you wanna know what ELSE they made? Hotel California. I don't even need to say anything else, if you know you know. Unfortunately, the Eagles broke up in 1980 (after years of inner strife), but pretty much every band member went on to have successful solo careers, including Glenn Frey!

No Fun Aloud is what I like to call a perfectly acceptable album. Is it anything that completely shook up the industry and changed music forever? Not really. Is it a perfect album just because it was made by a member of the Eagles? Also no, but I think it's fine, because it didn't TRY to be that. Not to sound like a boomer or anything, but what I respect about the album (and Glenn Frey as a whole) is that even if it's not my EXACT cup of tea (and there's some songs on the album that I felt just went out one ear and through the other), genuine effort was put into it, and in a poetic way, maybe that might apply to FNAC 2? You at LEAST have to respect the vision, so I hope that y'all do the same for this render!

Happy Black History Month everybody! To celebrate, here's a render of Fredbear recreating Roy Ayers' INCREDIBLE 1978 album "You Send Me"! I dedicate this render to him and his legacy, may his beautiful soul rest. Model credit is in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #BlackHistoryMonth

Fredbear (the big yellow bear wearing the brown top hat and bowtie) is seen with his hands on his hips in front of a tan backdrop. Said backdrop is much lighter on its left side than on its right side, and this also applies to Fredbear himself. Text on the top-left side of the image reads "FREDBEAR" and "YOU SEND ME". On the bottom-right is where my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (credit to Eggboi-SFM, Thudner, T.M, HectorX, and Cloudspecman for making this PEAK Fredbear model, here's a link to the model pack where I got it from, much love to them: https://www.deviantart.com/cloudspecman/art/MinigameSpringlocks-Blender-3-0-Port-935347107).

As is tradition at this point with every Black History Month, I take the time to shout-out a Black artist who I deeply adore. In this year's case, I wanted to shout-out Roy Ayers, a man whose music has probably inspired me more than any other artist I've talked about before. For those of you who somehow don't know who Roy Ayers was, he was without a DOUBT one of the greatest to ever do it. As early as the 60s, he became heavily known in the jazz world for how skilled he was at playing the vibraphone, but by the 70s, he blew UP. He formed his own band known as the Roy Ayers Ubiquity (a band that could honestly be highlighted in their own right), produced/composed/arranged the entire soundtrack for the 1973 blaxploitation film Coffy, got DOZENS of hits on the charts, and essentially became the progenitor of house music (which would then officially blow up in the 90s)!

There just wasn't anyone else like him: His feel-good-energy music, his vibraphone skills, and his desire to make people smile. It was all just so... Genuine and wonderful. Tragically, Roy Ayers recently passed away last year at 84-years-old, and while I and several others deeply miss him, I also recognize that nobody is ever TRULY gone, they just stay in our memories, and that's why I wanted to make this render: So that his legacy can live on forever. I dedicate this render to him, and I hope that you not only enjoy the render itself, but you also listen to the original album that inspired this all to begin with. Have an AMAZING Black History Month y'all, and rest in power to Mr. Ayers. May he continue to love the sunshine.

Only with you... Happy Valentine's Day everyone! As an act of love, I've rendered a recreation of Nick DeCaro's 1990 Japan-exclusive album "Love Storm", featuring Mr. Hippo! Hope y'all LOVE this one! Model credit is in the ALT text below! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #ValentinesDay

The image mostly consists of a white background, with the bottom-middle portion of said background being a rectangle containing a zoomed-in picture of a rose. The text at the top reads "LOVE STORM", and on the right-side of the image, a square-shaped portrait of Mr. Hippo is presented with a dark brown border and a baby blue backdrop. Very faint muddy-yellow text underneath the portrait reads "Mr. HIPPO", and at the very bottom-left side of the image is where my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right (oh yeah, and credit to UU6FMP/Urall and Cloudspecman for making this AMAZING Mr. Hippo model, here's a link to the model pack where I got it from, much love to them: https://www.deviantart.com/cloudspecman/art/UU6FMP-Blender-3-0-4-0-Port-1208513120).

At first, you may assume that I decided to just randomly shout-out some obscure artist just for the fun of it (and, yeah, I did), but Nick DeCaro is possibly the most prolific artist you've never heard of. While his actual solo output was pretty muted (he only ever made 4 albums in his lifetime), his collaboration output was EXTREMELY expansive. He was a full-on arranger, producer, conductor, composer, AND musician! He worked with some of the biggest names in music, such as Dolly Parton, Randy Newman, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Cash, the Doobie Brothers, and literally HUNDREDS more that I couldn't fully name here without going past the character limit. According to Wikipedia, he collaborated on over 380 albums, but on his Discogs page, he's credited with a jaw-dropping 1058 collaborations. Yeah, safe to say he's left his thumbprint on music as a whole.

For all intents and purposes, Love Storm is essentially a cover album, with Nick DeCaro singing English versions of famous Japanese singer Tatsuro Yamashita's biggest hits (like "Touch Me Lightly", "Theme From Big Wave", "The Girl in White", etc). Unfortunately, since the album was ONLY released in Japan (and was filled with covers of songs made by an artist nobody in America knew), it didn't really get to become as well-known as it should've been. But despite all that, this album is something REALLY nice, and if you have time, I recommend listening to it! With all that yapping aside, I hope y'all LOVE this render of mine, and I also hope that y'all have a great Valentine's!

It all begins again... As my first proper drawing of the year, here's a recreation of Kashif's CLASSIC 1987 album "Love Changes", starring The Cat! Also included is his redesign showcase, which I hope y'all love! I'm in such a midnight mood... #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

The Cat (on the right side of the image) is depicted in complete grayscale wearing a black leather jacket. The entire background is in complete grayscale as well, except for the text on the top-left side of the image. On that top-left side, 2 yellow rectangles are positioned, a piece of big/long red text reads "CAT", and a much smaller/thinner purple piece of text reads "Love Changes". On the very bottom-left side of the screen is where my signature resides.

As always, the original cover is on the left, and my recreated version is on the right.

Love Changes, as the name implies, is all about love, and you can tell just based on how many ballads/duets are on the album! I mean, even beyond the opening title track (with Meli'sa Morgan), you have "Reservations for Two" with Dionne Warwick and "Midnight Mood" with Kenny G (though this last one isn't REALLY a duet, it's just an instrumental with Kenny G making a cameo)! But don't think that just because it has more ballads/duets than usual means it isn't an entertaining album, because it IS. You got Kashif attempting to do hip-hop with "Loving You Only" (which ain't half bad if you ask me!), you got a new jack swing-ish bop in the form of "Who's Getting Serious?", and if you're listening to the reissued bonus track edition of the album, you even got the originally B-side-exclusive instrumental "Kathryn"! Pretty much everything that made Kashif stand out at the time is here, and if you ever just wanna listen to some solid R&B, this album's the one for you. I hope y'all love this drawing, and I'm gonna try to be more active with art considering my current circumstances regarding college (don't worry I didn't drop out or anything, just that I'll be having a lighter semester than before).

Some of y'all may remember a good 2 weeks ago when I posted my full redesign showcase of Toy Freddy and implied that several more characters would be getting the redesign treatment. Well, here's an example of that! Since I JUST drew The Cat for "Love Changes", I figured I'd add this redesign showcase as a companion piece (though unlike DeviantArt, where I would post the redesign separately, it comes included in this as a bonus). I'm gonna try to do a pattern of "drawing, redesign showcase, drawing, redesign showcase", though this pattern will be slightly altered if I decide to make a 3D render instead. I don't wanna make any BIG promises though, so just assume that IF I make a standalone drawing of a character, the full redesign showcase of that character will probably/potentially be included/follow suit (pun intended given the subject of this redesign showcase, LOL). But yeah, here's The Cat's character bio complete with his color scheme, quote, and artist's note! All the information you could ever need to understand my thought process behind this redesign is in the image itself, so y'all are spared from a typical Legend yap sesh, LOL. I hope y'all like this redesign, and hey, depending on if I feel up to it or not, I might take some suggestions on who to redesign next (within reason/time/logic, of course)! Until then, have a great day!

Like someone in love, you've been flirting again... To celebrate FNAF World's recent 10th anniversary, I've gone and recreated Björk's iconic 2 albums "Debut" and "Post" featuring XOR and Dee Dee! Credit to BennetJL for these AMAZING models! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Since these are essentially 2 renders in 1, I figured I'd show them here side-by-side so you could see the contrast of their themes better! The actual descriptions for the images are in their standalone versions, so check those out if you need more context!

XOR (the girl in the middle of the image) is depicted in complete grayscale with her hands clasped in front of her mouth. The background is of a simple light gray to dark gray gradient, and my signature is displayed on the bottom-left side of the image.

Dee Dee (the girl in the middle of the image) is depicted with a bright/cool color scheme, and behind her is a big pink disc with several collages of blurry pictures behind said disc. On the bottom-right is where my signature resides.

Unlike what I did last year (where I depicted the drawing/render first and THEN the original inspiration), from now on I'll do the opposite: Depict the original inspiration first and THEN the drawing/render so it's easier to understand the comparison (and because most comparisons go in a "before/after" sort of way). Since I'm recreating 2 album covers, I've composited both of them with their original covers so that things don't feel cramped/bloated.

So I assume 99% of us have listened to Björk at SOME point in our lives, no? I'm not even really much of an alternative/experimental music fan, but Björk is DIFFERENT. From jazz to orchestra to dance to electronic to house, she does it all, but it's only recently that I've actually taken the time to listen to her discography in full and... My GOD. I get it now. I don't think I've ever listened to 2 subsequent albums back-to-back by the same artist where pretty much EVERY song was a hit (except for Off the Wall and Thriller by Michael Jackson, but that's Michael Jackson so that's a discussion for a whole other day). I don't know how hot of a take this is, but I personally prefer Debut to Post, but don't take this as me saying that Post isn't good, because it 1000% IS, it's just good in its own way you know? I'll put it like this: Debut is a red velvet cake (my favorite), while Post is a carrot cake (still just as delicious in its own right). But yeah, I HIGHLY recommend listening to both albums if you've never heard Björk before, and I hope you all love these renders! I'm gonna try to post more often since I went nearly the entire month radio silent, but like always, I make no promises and will make sure to work at my own pace. Take care y'all, and have an amazing day! Shout-out to FNAF World, it REALLY deserves a proper sequel!

You know what they say: NEW YEAR, NEW ME!!! After a few days of working on this, I'd like to officially present to you all my brand new Toy Freddy design! I'm seriously INCREDIBLY proud of how he turned out, and I hope y'all feel the same way! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

This image contains a LOT of details in it, so I'll go through everything one-by-one as briefly as possible: The image itself is of a red border, and within that red border are multiple squares of varying sizes/lengths. The big square on the left of the image is where Toy Freddy (the subject of the drawing) resides, and inside the top-left part of that square reads some biographical information concerning things like his name, debut appearance, gender, pronouns, and famous quote (my signature also resides there). The long square on the top-right part of the image displays Toy Freddy's head, with text on the side that describes his general personality/character. The 2 smaller but taller squares below that long square display Toy Freddy's accessory (his microphone) and color scheme. Lastly, the second long square underneath those 2 smaller squares reads my "Artist's Note", basically a long piece of text describing my history with the character, what I appreciate about them, and what their design was inspired by.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!! It's officially January 1st where I live, so enjoy this little portrait I drew of Toy Freddy to celebrate a fresh start! I'm still working on things behind the scenes, but consider this a tease for what's to come soon enough! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

A portrait of Toy Freddy is placed in the middle of the image. The background of the portrait is a reddish-pink gradient with a white bubble in the center. Outside the portrait is a white and wide square on its sides, and the background of the raw image itself is of a faint red plaid pattern. The entire image is encapsulated through a light red border. Text on the top of the image reads "HAPPY NEW YEAR!", while text on the bottom simply reads "2026". Finally, the bottom-left corner of the image contains my signature.

Let there be love forever... To officially end the year on a poetic note, here's a recreation of Kenny Loggins' ROCKIN' 1985 album "Vox Humana" starring Toy Freddy! I wish you all a truly wonderful New Year, and never forget... Love will follow. #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Toy Freddy is depicted in a watercolor painting with multi-colored highlights, and behind him are brown and green silhouettes in his shape. The background is split into two parts: Left is the blue side, and right is the yellow side. Text on the top reads "Toy Freddy • Vox Humana". On the bottom-left is my signature, and on the bottom-right is my imprint signature made specifically for the painting/drawing.

As always, the image on the left is my recreation, and the image on the right is the original version.

Funnily enough, this actually isn't the first time I've recreated a Kenny Loggins album cover on the last day of the year! I did this EXACT thing back in 2023, though I didn't have Bluesky back then. Kenny Loggins is a SERIOUSLY good artist, and quite honestly, this album holds such a special place in my heart, mainly for its closing song "Love Will Follow". Although Loggins mostly does rock and roll, this song (and the album as a whole) was essentially his attempt at making an R&B hit, and unironically, it's AMAZING, from the instruments to the vocals to the genuineness of it. It's the perfect way to close off the album, to the point where even if it didn't have that song attached to it, I would STILL hold it in high regard. Not to get TOO sentimental, but I'd just like to reiterate that I'm so deeply grateful for all of the support I've gotten throughout this year, and I sincerely cherish every single one of y'all. I don't know exactly what the future will hold for me or my art, but whatever happens, I'll embrace it all the same. Thank you, and I can't wait to see what next year holds for me!

Since the year's just about over, I figured I'd make an art summary featuring all of my best drawings throughout the year! This year was kinda rough art-wise, but I still had fun all the same. Let me know which drawing here was YOUR personal favorite! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #artsummary

The background is of a red ocean with the moon embedded in it, and the night sky is filled with stars. In the foreground, icons of each drawing I made for each month are neatly organized in 2 rows with glowing white borders to make them more contrastive. January features my RAT "I, Assassin" drawing, February features my Withered Freddy "LOVE X LOVE" drawing, March features my JJ "We Can Do It!" drawing, April features my Rockstar Buster "Midnight Love" drawing, May features my Ballora "Mother's Night" drawing, June features my Paula "Love Garden of Hope" drawing, July features my Toy Freddy "Don't Take It Personal" drawing, August features my Dee Dee "Dee Dee's Fishing Redraw" drawing, September features my Lolbit "Freddy's Dream Land 3" render, October features my Shadow Freddy "Dynamite" render, November features my additional Toy Freddy "Music Maestro Please" drawing, and lastly, December features my Freddy "I'll Be Home for Christmas" drawing!

Merry Christmas everybody! Safe to say it's been a GOOD while since I've last been on Gamejolt, but I can now finally announce that I'm done with my semester! To celebrate, I've drawn/redesigned Freddy as Santa Claus! I wish you all a WONDERFUL night! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #christmas

Freddy (the animatronic bear in the middle of the image) is dressed as Santa Claus, and holds a present in his right hand while holding a microphone in his left hand. Behind him is a snow field, while an aurora borealis shines from above. Surrounding the drawing itself is a red and white candy cane-themed border. Text on the top-left side of the drawing reads "Merry Christmas!", while the text on the bottom-left side is my signature.

This is a comparison piece of my old Freddy design (the one on the left) vs. my new Freddy design (the one on the right). As you can probably tell, the new Freddy design has gone through some major changes: His proportions are now much more animatronic-like, his color scheme is a bit darker/more contrastive, and the shading is much less "pillow shaded". All in all, Freddy looks MUCH more accurate to his official design. I'm genuinely incredibly proud of how good he turned out, and if Freddy looks THIS high-quality, imagine what every other character will look like fully redesigned? Consider this comparison piece as a tease for future drawings/designs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOURS TRULY!!! I'm officially 20 years old now, and to celebrate, I've drawn Toy Freddy recreating the Love Unlimited Orchestra's beautiful 1975 album, "Music Maestro Please"! From the bottom of my heart, I so deeply love you all. #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Against a greenish-blue background, Toy Freddy wears an orange suit with a yellow long-sleeve buttoned-up shirt. He has his hands in the air, and in his right hand, a yellow baton is held to the sky. At the end of the baton, a glowing light complements the text on the top, which reads "LOVE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA" and "Music Maestro Please". On the bottom of the image, text on the left side reads "HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO THELEGEND87!" and text on the right reads my signature.

As always, the image on the left is my recreation, and the image on the right is the original version.

For those of you don't know, the Love Unlimited Orchestra was an over 40-piece string-laden orchestra formed by Barry White. Yes, THAT Barry White. Alongside serving as a backing unit for Barry White's own iconic songs, they were also their own musical act, releasing several albums from the early 70s to the early 80s. They're perhaps most famous for their 1974 hit "Love's Theme", which is quite honestly one of the greatest instrumentals ever created. There's a genuine magic to the orchestra that is not only MASSIVELY boosted by Barry White's compositions, but also by just being filled with some of the best musicians ever to live, such as Wah Wah Watson, Ray Parker Jr., Wilton Felder, Ernie Watts, Lee Ritenour, and even Kenny G! This is a truly EXCEPTIONAL album of theirs, and I hope that you can listen to it and understand where I'm coming from.

Seeing as how I reached such a massive milestone, I thought I'd take the time to write a personal message reflecting on my general life as a whole, and how much I truly appreciate you all. Everything I needed to say is in this image, so I implore you to read it in its entirety. I truly adore each and every single one of you, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. May there be peace and prosperity for as long as I live.

Happy (late) Halloween everybody! Apologies for my extended absence, college has taken up most of my time, but I hope y'all love this quite romantic drawing starring Toy Freddy, Plushtrap, and Nightmare BB! Why find candy, when you can find love instead? #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys #Halloween

The background consists of a purple-colored grass field and night sky, with a glowing yellow crescent moon on the left side of the image. On the top-right side of the image, text reads "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!", "Love on a Spooky Night..." and my signature, "TheLegend87". In the middle of the image, Toy Freddy (dressed as a vampire) stands behind a bench, and sitting on that same bench is Plushtrap (the small green torn-up rabbit), Nightmare BB (the slightly taller human wearing the striped red and purple open jacket), and a jack-o-lantern with glowing white eyes.

Apologies for posting so late at night, but today, it was the Birthday of 3 AMAZING friends of mine from Discord! To celebrate, I made them some FNAF-themed Birthday cards! I hope y'all love these as much as my friends did! #fnaf #fivenightsatfreddys

Here's all 3 Birthday cards lined up in one full image! This is mainly for the people who wanna see them all side-by-side, but if you wanna know more about each specific Birthday card, check their ALT text for that!

This Birthday card is dedicated to my good friend FusedNebula! He's a MASSIVE fan of Bouncer from FNAF World, so that's why Bouncer's the main focus of this card! The characters in the background consist of the Toys, which Nebula is also a big fan of! I went for a "cool blue" vibe with this one, so enjoy! Happy Birthday Nebula, YOU ROCK!!!

This next Birthday card is dedicated to my wonderful friend Joyful Rhys (also known as Joyful Freddy)! Having his own dedicated OC/sona, he graciously lent me their model, and with how much good taste he has character-wise, I just KNEW I had to cook up something good! Happy Birthday Rhys, you're such a sweet guy and I hope you know that you made my days better just by being yourself!

This last Birthday card is dedicated to my super cool friend SomeGuy! Per his own words, he tends to prefer "big and bulky" characters like Mendo, Nightmare Bonnie, Withered Freddy, etc, so you already KNOW that I had to turn up! I'm really happy with how everyone's posed here, and the red lighting DEFINITELY gives it even more aura. Sometimes, we may end up butting heads, but trust me, SomeGuy's one HELL of a guy (pun entirely intended)! Happy Birthday SomeGuy, keep on being you!
