Hey yall, I am sorry for being gone.
I know I made a post a few months ago about taking a break, but I wanted to give a more proper update. I have been, and still am, extremely busy in my real life, as well as a lot of personal things have been happening over the -past few months which have made me a lot less motivated for bigger projects and which has made it harder for me to keep up with youtube and discord. For those of you who know me on discord, I am especially sorry for abruptly leaving. This break has made me realize how stressful keeping up with everything on youtube and such is for me, and honestly it has been so freeing to step back. Please understand it is not anyone's fault for this becoming draining, it was really more caused by the way I handled youtube and how I felt obligated to keep making content and continue keeping up with discord 24/7. Another reason I have stayed quiet on discord specifically is because I can't really catch up on there right now. I can't use discord on my phone for reasons, and it has become much harder for me to read on my computer, so for now it would be extremely difficult to even come back to discord right now. I don't know how long I will stay off of here for. I want to keep making content, but right now pushing myself to come back to youtube is not what I need. While this may be my last update for a while, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has stuck with me over the past 4 years. While it may have become a burden on me, I would never change the past 4 years. I genuinely met some amazing people, and I grew both as an artist and as a person. I am sorry for leaving with no way to promise a return date, but to my friends and those who supported me, I genuinely can't thank you enough. This post is not a permanent goodbye, I just wanted to give an update because I think yall deserve one.

Hey yall! Sorry for a very stark lack of anything recently. I am officially going to say I am on a hiatus. I am very busy irl right now and I haven't been very active anywhere. I don't know how long this will last, I have animation ideas but no time and very little motivation right now, so I can't give an end date for this hiatus. If you want to continue to see my art, I am posting little doodles I do of my characters over on Toyhouse: toyhou.se/Mech_Criticality
It's not much, but it is something for yall!

Hey guys! A bit late, but I am, in fact, doing Artfight again this year! This will be my fourth year and I will be on team Stardust!! Wasn't originally going to do a card but since I've been making icons for my characters and I needed a way to announce it on Youtube, I made a card. I am planning on using my strategy of only doing revenges (unless we are friends/mutuals or you have characters I really want to draw) so if you want art from me, attacking me first will ALMOST guarantee getting art back! (not 100% doing every revenge for one reason or another, but there is a very high likely hood that you will get an attack back!)
Here is a link to my profile: artfight.net/~Mech_Criticality

Happy pride month everybody! I am sorry for being a few days late to this, I've been busy (which is why I have also been radio silent on Youtube for about 2 months, sorry about that) but I hope these past few days have been a great start to June! As someone who falls under many labels in the LGBTQ+ community, I want yall to know that my channel is always a safe space, regardless of it being pride month or not :]
To celebrate, here are two pieces I made right before pride month with my OCs (if it is going to be 70-80 degrees where I live, June may as well have started early) and a little teaser for something that will be uploading tomorrow!

Hey yall! With all the recent events that have been happening and with how I had already been distancing myself from the DSMP, I have decided to unlist all of my DSMP videos. They are in a playlist, I was going to just unlist them but I don't want those literal hours of my life to go to waste and I don't want to get rid of a video if someone really likes it since they either use DSMP audio or focus on a character and not the real people, although if I feel the need I may unlist the playlist too. I do not want these videos on my home page of my channel. Thank you for sticking with me. Hopefully stuff soon.

ART JUST TO BOOST - PLEASE READ!
I know I haven't said much in regard to the WC editor drama, but I feel like I should since I know it has been affecting so many of my art friends. I hate seeing so much art being stolen and the blatant disrespect being shown to so many artists by SOME editors when the artists, who spent their free time making amazing art, ask them to respect their boundaries and take down the video or give some form of credit! I am not trying to say all edits or editors are bad, I think that making things to express your own creative views is important, and I am in no means trying to attack anyone in particular, but please just ask before using art, it is not hard!! If an artist has explicitly told you not to use their art, either one on one after you asked or just because they have made their stance clear, or if you are unsure if they are okay with their art being used, THEN DON'T USE IT! There are so many artists who have said they are fine with their art being used WITH CREDIT and their art is just as amazing as the people you are stealing from (Yes, you are using something someone else has made without credit and against their wishes, that IS stealing). And don't use the excuse of "I spent so long on it!" well guess what? SO DID THE ORIGINAL ARTIST! I have made my stance regarding my art very clear many times, I do not want my art being used in edits without asking me first, and after all the drama that has happened, I most likely will not give permission even if you did ask, I am sorry. If you watch my content and happen to see any of my art used in an edit, with or without credit, please let me know. Do not attack or harass the editor, but please just leave a kind comment of my (and any other artist in the edit whose work is being used without their permission or credit) views on the use of the art in the edit and please tell me. You can either leave a comment on this post or you can contact me on Discord, my user is Mech_Criticality on there as well. Thank you all so much for continuing to help me and so many other artists trying to stop the theft of our art and hopefully this all can be resolved in the near future! Have a good day/night yall!

Hey yall! I know I just uploaded 2 videos (It's amazing what I can get done when I have time AND motivation) but I do have another finished part and one that is about halfway through sketching. I was planning on uploading the finished part, but it is pretty short and I would prefer to space out my uploads in case I run into another period of time where I'm either busy or am in artblock. So I want to know if yall would prefer me uploading it now (probably schedule it for Friday or Saturday) or wait and make it a video of both parts once the second one is finished (similar to my last MAP part upload editing wise)
