So this sketch was meant to be for an IG story but I love this guy so much.

This is Lizard Dude. He was one of my characters in the comic book I was gonna do until I realised it would take me 5 years to create one issue.

He's a goofy lanky dorky kid who dreams of being a professional wrestler. He doesn't wear other clothes and keeps his inhalers in his thigh high boots

There's more on my Instagram - Feel free to send some love ;)

I'm doing loads of drawings at the moment, but one of my main projects is a comic about rebels and eccentrics who are forced out of major cities, and have to create new lives in the peripherals of the city.

I don't quote know how I want this drawing to look, but I've scribbled over it plenty of times. Maybe one day I'll finish it.

Got the grades I needed to get into architecture school.

It was torture at the start but in my masters I started to understand more of who I was as a designer and person, and I flourished. It took time, but I'm glad I perservered.

After 9 years of study and internships, I became an architect in 2018.

I've moved to London and landed myself a couple good roles and got to lead in a few projects.

It's fun and rewarding, but not without it's difficulties. The pay is low as an architect, I've been made redundant twice since the profession is heavily dependant on the economy, and there's a lot of long hours.

On my last post, I was 18 and for me, being an architect meant everything.

Now at 29, it's not even one of the main things I use to describe myself.

Maybe I'll be an architect for another 11 years or so; I'll go for whatever feels right when it comes up. If Newgrounds is still around in 2031, then I'll let whoever's reading it know.

Anyway, keep fighting and persevering. There were so many times in my teens and early 20s that I questioned myself, and it often worked out in the end. Hell, I question myself all the time now, but I just have to remind myself that I'm capable and there are so many amazing opportunities out there.

I'm getting my A-Level results on the 20th and I'm starting to lose it!
I need to get at least a B from all five of my subjects, or I won't get to study architecture at Kent uni :(

So are any Newgrounders out there waiting for their big exams results?

(Or is it just me? :X)

It's taken approximately 50 months of hard work, but the time is near fellow NewGrounders!
By tomorrow I shall (hopefully) be added to the elite list of Supreme Commanders, and be dubbed a total stat whore :D

I have many people to thank for this - those who submitted the poor submissions, those who submitted the great, and also Strawberry Clock for the CC and clock day.

Well, 73 more submission to go!

Well apparently, my dad along with a fair few of his friends, will be jetting off to Louisiana during the October/November months (and yes he is aware of Hurricane Gustav, so I have no clue why he still wants to go).

Anyhoo, one of the things he asked us was

'What shall I get you all, when I return?'

I for one, have no clue about what America has, that I need so desperately
(Well, apart from Lucky Charms cereal, which they stopped selling here over a decade ago D: ).

So people of Newgrounds, what glorious items from the US, shall I ask for?

*Goes back to portal stuff*

Well the weather here is abysmal, so it looks like I'm stuck here, doing sod all for a good while.

Anyhoo, I just want to know how many people actually visit my user-page, and stuff.

So post away :D

Also, here's a bit of Eddie Izzard for you.
(Completely unrelated, yes, but still a good laugh).
