(rapping poorly) uh yeah its artist shoutout 3 yo

i've been very lazy on newgrounds recently, in part due to being sick and also in part to me becoming the sweatiest cookie run kingdom gamer ever after toybox collab. i said i'd never go back to that game, but clearly im in some sort of strange, baked goods themed unhealthy relationship with it. BUT WE AREN'T HERE FOR MY ESCAPADES. we're here for me to show YOU whimsical-wife's favorite artists on newgrounds. AND WE WILL DO THAT RIGHT NOW. if you follow me specifically for cute and whimiscal art, you are for sure in for a treat with these artists.

artist no.1: @VioletBird

there are many great artists on newgrounds of course, but i do feel it's rarer for me to find fellow creators who embrace cuteness in their style. i do not necessarily see it as a bad thing, it just makes it all the sweeter when i do find artists who play into aesthetics i love. you can imagine i was thrilled to the core when i happened upon violetbird's art on the portal one day.

i do not remember the exact art of her's that i found intially, but i do have to say this one is my favorite.

i'm a big fan of angels, and this is just too cute. the bear on its own is simply adorable, not even to mention the fluffy wings and delightfully cute rainbow scarf. the color palette is incredibly pleasant. i need not to say more, i think the art speaks for itself.

it is always very nice to see lesser known artists get a well deserved frontpage, especially when they excel at what they set out to portray in their art. as far as cute little critters go, i do not think you could get much better. if you need something to brighten your day, def give this artist a look over

artist no2. @Ferbun

if you're into lineless art, get ready to meet another of newgrounds many talented lineless artists. i found ferbun's account thru the art forum and instantly followed. cute, lineless little critters are right up my alley, and probably up your's too if you follow my account.

this was part of an art trade i did with ferbun. perhaps you've seen it before as i did link it on my part of the trade, but who's to say it doesnt deserve promoted a second time? it is just So cute. i love the shading and lighting. the pose is very sonic-esqe to me. it's probably one of the cutest fanarts of wifecat to date. not to mention, the backround is very cute. one could say, perfectly pink even.

dude is drawing CATS for real. do not let my choice in art to promote fool you, he does draw more than cats. he is a rabbit himself after all. but anyways i think this one is wonderful for all the same reasons above. ferbun has a very gentle and pleasant style that manages to be energetic as well. i think the details on the clothing are well executed, and he does a good job at going beyond just a normal colored background and is able to make it into something more interesting. i always enjoy getting his art in my feed and you might too!

that's it for episode three. if you excuse me i have to go rob my friend who just pulled awakened pure vanilla from the normal cookie gacha (he knows who he is, dude if you're reading this im sending my beasts after you right now). Looking very forward to shouting more artists out in the near future, i will be keeping my Eye peeled 👁️
