Good to see you doing progress, despite the odds.

I don't use Twitter. This site is a fastest growing pile of junk, like much like Andrew Ryan's Rapture from BioShock. Cancel culture/toxic users are basically splicers, the tragic monsters addicted to ADAM and went crazy for it. Twitter is dying, but your diversity of available internet media is very good, let alone it increases the availability for your works nonetheless.

[Switchy in Despair]

Console preservation is a good option. Even if the second Switch will be real, you can just keep previous-gen Switchy active together.

[Shantae Advance]

"Advance" can be referred to the one cancelled Game Boy Advance game, Risky's Revolution. It had oversized Sky's parrot for fast travel. Interesting...

['Murica]

The glamour Amelia is quite patriotic woman. She possibly used to be a soldier, since she believed that it will serve the country well if done right. One of the best ways to celebrate this national holiday are fireworks, national anthem, relatable stories, etc. Hmm, something quirky with that flag she is holding with both arms. Maybe it's dual-sided, unmirrored...

“O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
-"The Star-Spangled Banner", United States national anthem.

[diar the rat (TARHEAD)]

Good art style, but it aged poorly, as the character belonged to a Twitter groomer, as confirmed by this documentary video: https://youtu.be/-F-kADNt2Ik.

[Ranamon]

Attempting to say that Pokémon is better than every single digiwhore will result in unpleasantness. Digimon franchise has memetic classics too, Pikachu-tier. Remember Renamon?

[Spider-'Gwen']

The new Spider-Man movie with the same trademark art & animation styles is here, and it still rocks. Having enjoyed this movie, Gwen, sharing the same first name as the Spider-Gwen, decided to cosplay the latter.

[Lotte - Ref Sheet]

A new content! Frog in Cape and leaf "hat"!

[Fly - Ref Sheet]

No further information about those characters yet? Oh, sorry; this is expected from the new announcement of new IPs. We'll wait for now. I hope something interesting about these characters will come, like you did with your old ones. Also, love those orange frog paws, they're authentic and accurate. Oh, and flies have no backbones (invertebrates by nature), by the way.

[Liru Forest]

Anime series, adults-only video game, doujin, fan art... Liru is easily sympathetic and lovable lady you can encounter on various types of media, just like many other characters and series people desire to experience, even fan arts.

Finding and playing a good video game is not an easy task. Remember Xbox 360's Red Ring of Death, PS3's weak launch title line-up and Yellow Light of Death, and Crysis' inhumane system requirements? Those were the infamous hardships from the mid 2000s in gaming history.
Exploring the good artist by the taste is actually not that easy and simple either; TwistedGrim is very slow nowadays,
(weak activity rate, but 'quality > quantity' mindset as one of the positive side effects), BuxbiArts' certain tigress OC being falsely advertised as sort of mom (false advertising, and joking about your certain mature female character as a mom is not funny; mom-related stuff is an serious concept based on concern on your son/daughters' lives), FOX-POPVLI suffering from art blocks ever since the Truck Off 2020 ransomware fiasco that halted the webcomic's production (art blocks and project-killing fiascos), Kilinah's variety of available social media is weak (hinders public availability, only currently active sites are Twitter and Patreon, both of them are unavailable in Russia as of 2023), DeviantArt fails to display images to Russian ISPs properly (regional bug due to the undeserved sanctions against Russia, with WixMP stopping their work for Russian servers), Diives being too busy to work on his own series' canon in favor of non-canon adult-only art (non-canon quantity > canon quality), Shexyo is an alleged art tracer of charming and mysterious Cutesexyrobutts (copyright infringement and fraud) and doesn't apologize for these unpleasant actions, certain anthrofied Pokémon fan projects receive unfair copyright strikes (copyright abuse and failure to comprehend Fair Use) and many more difficulties I've explored for my lifetime experience (I personally witnessed those, so I wanted to vent and cope). Seeing you learning and overcoming various difficulties is actually very inspiring and satisfying :)
Oh, and I forgot to say: the artists I've mentioned in my hardships list also have talents, but none of them are without flaws, like the rest of us. Nobody is perfect. Learn from mistakes. I apologize if you were embarrassed about that. I enjoy making reviews, sometimes they can be scathing when I'm criticising something. No, I'm not a role model, because I've done so many things that I deeply regret and not proud of them.
