Press the screen to traverse through the artwork. The left side means previous, and the right means next. 1-5: These are unreleased "Cooking With Peppino" promo art that I made. They were not sent because CWP was in development limbo when I finished them. The recent one (5) is not really a promo, but it was an outcome stating that CWP has revamped to "Preparing With Peppino," which I will talk about later. 6-18: Artwork, mostly Pizza Tower brainrot, which I made chronologically: - 6: This was going to be in the previous art dump. The thumbnail of the previous art dump was an alternate version of this outcome. I reworked it only because I was not happy with it. - 8: Even though 7 was technically the turning point, this was when I wanted to try and develop my art style with rendering, starting with a portrait of "lost footage" Shrek. - 10: This is the best Iron Giant drawing I ever made and my best-rendered artwork in this entire art dump. And then I went off-streak, and I forgot. - 12: Belated one-year anniversary Pizza Tower rakugaku (rkgk). - 15: This was when I started experimenting with "graffiti-inspired" text art. 19-20: I tried sculpting with a browser-based 3D software called "Womp". 21-24: This is where I started to consider rendering styles. (21-23 uses references, and 22-23 are based on Lyon SPD's animations.) 25-26 - * (CHECK NOTES AND CREDITS) 27 - This snippet animation is dated back to July 2023. It was a scrapped intro for announcing that I got a role in "Cooking With Peppino". It was reworked for a simpler "montage" animation "Leaning Night", which is left unfinished. The ending of the montage would also reveal about getting into CWP (the envelope in the intro). 28 - rkgk of my ROBLOX avatar, which I finished in around 20-30 minutes (thumbnail)
*IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT/TRIVIAL FACT These comics are not that deep, but I will provide context. In November 2023, I announced a "big" project called "Chopping Board". This project would be a Pizza Tower equivalent to a compilation of random skits like asdfmovies and Sonic Paradox. However, because this is my final year in university, and recently CWP got rebranded to "Preparing With Peppino", which takes a more episodic/skittish approach, mixed with the fact that I need to find a job soon despite having monetisation on my channel (but it's not reliable), I canned the project, with my 2023-24 compilation video being the closest to "Chopping Board". I really wanted to work on the "Chopping Board," but other than work, trying to brainstorm ideas was a nightmare. The ideas were supposed to be random but faithful to the source material, but they have branched into the animations/comics. Here are the following relics of "Chopping Board": - My recent PT animation, "101%", would be the "Chopping Board" intro. However, for context, there were incidents when I was on voice calls, and my wireless headphones would perfectly cut them with "battery low, please charge now". "101%"'s punchline is The Noise getting into trouble, leading to "The Noise mode", so my random experience was the punchline. However, because I didn't post for a while, the punchline came out of nowhere, and I developed the beginning; I decided to make it a sole animation. - 25 is based on a VC during which one of my friends (Makee) was speedrunning Pizza Tower. Then, one of our mutual friends joined and started commentating on the run in Spanish like a football commentator. Because The Noise is Mexican, and Mexico's language is Spanish, Makee spoke Italian as Peppino. Vigilante was included because another friend of mine, CarrotToe, was on the VC and wanted to participate. CarrotToe is known for having one of the best interpretations of The Vigilante's voice I ever heard. He is an aspiring and growing voice actor, and you can find his channel easily. Go show support once you find it. I wanted to turn it into a skit. However, I was not motivated to turn it into an animation. - 26 is my only original and faithful idea based on the wanted poster Vigilante holds at the start of the boss fight. I tried to make it faithful whilst taking inspiration from the randomness of absolutenutcase162's Spongebob comics. This was planned as a skit, but I turned it into a comic because I could not figure out how to execute it as an animation. Then, I forgot about the comic for weeks. I ended up uncovering the unfinished WIP recently. - My upcoming main PT animation was also a "Chopping Board" skit, but like "101%," it developed into a more extensive scope. All I can say about the next animation is that it developed into a simple "what if" scenario that has the potential to expand further. There is no doubt that the duration of my next animation will be over a minute. With that being said and done, I am in the final semester of my final year, and I will still be occupied once I am finished with my exams. Also, there is some personal "vent" I don't want to disclose on this site. It has been a personal struggle for a year (only old and close Scratch friends know this), which has been the core of my demotivation and recent social ineptitude. These lingering thoughts were usually shrugged off. However, last week, something happened that I want to avoid going into detail. It went to the point that the thoughts worsened, and it fabricated into a dream one night. This one dream has been hindering progress with ANYTHING recently, even the schoolwork that needs to be finished, and it made me feel even worse. Unfun fact: This project was supposed to be finished and shared yesterday, but it was because of my reasoning above that I was unable to finish it till now. With all being said, I will take an indefinite hiatus. I don't know when I will be back, and the only activity will be based on PWP. I hope you all understand about my sudden disappearance starting today. During this hiatus, I will be making progress on my next PT animation, but it will be slow. At the moment, progress on this and other small projects has been paused until I finish my semester. To repeat, "Chopping Board" is likely cancelled, and I don't want to ramble about my current mental state, especially to estranged users online. I'm going to be okay, I promise. (Furthermore, this is probably going to be the last art dump project - for a while. Art dumps will be now exclusively in Pixiv). Thank you for viewing my Scratch page and TED talk, and I will see you all when things clear up (hopefully).

Support their work, especially Antonblast, since they're still in development. #art
