HI I POSTED SOME NEW ART.

I DON'T POST THAT REGULARLY SO I THOUGHT I'D LET EVERYBODY KNOW LOL

• Made a SMILING FRIENDS piece.
• Made a CRYPTID CAT piece. (This one's a collage I'm proud of)
• Lastly, made a QUEEKCHAN piece because rats uplift their fellow rats.

I hope you all like them!!!

As for a personal update: I've been pretty short on time lately. I've really just been working at my job a lot more because ya boy's got bills to pay. Nevertheless, I still make time for art & animation when I can. I'm hoping to start production on another lil toon in the near future (once I come up with an idea I actually like lol). But hey if you wanna support my creative endeavors, you can always throw a few bucks my way & get some cool stuff yourself by getting something from MY STORE.

That's it from me for now. I hope y'all are staying happy & healthy & also getting asked out by the COOLEST girl in school. You deserve it, champ. OK BYE!!!!!!!!

EVERYBODY LOOK I MADE A NEW CARTOON: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/933092

In this special little film, the world famous Bomberman shows that the only thing stronger than love is explosives<3

This is actually part of the upcoming NEWGROUNDS DREAMCAST COLLAB! So be sure to keep your eyes peeled when the whole thing drops. Big ups to @shleptboi for the invite! Also major shout outs to @techniccoloriing for making the pixel backgrounds & the drawing of Bomberman bombing his bomb all over Ulala’s face. And so with this completed, I will now return to my rat cave to make rat content.

Hope y’all like the toon!! Thanks<33

PEOPLE OF NG! I MADE A NEW ANIMATION, CHECK IT OUT !!!!

:3

This is somethin I've been cooking up for a little while and features the amazing vocal talents of @saminat

I asked him to voice a priest beating a rat with a bible and he certainly delivered

Also worth mentioning that this animation is tied to the release of my newest SHIRTS and HOODIES!!

CHECK 'EM OUT & MORE AT MY ONLINE STORE

(Trust me, you YES YOU SPECIFICALLY will look AMAZING in these)

(Plus if you want me to be able to keep making my silly art and cartoons, this is the best way to directly support me)

As far as updates go, I've been a busy bee who's been hard at work between working on animations, products for my store, commissions, a side job that keeps me afloat, but also a whole ass art show I got to do! I'm very blessed to have support from my local community and the art gallery on my mainstreet is hosting me for the month of October. Even got myself a large ratchili cut out that I hope to keep until I am dead and buried (perhaps I will be buried with it....)

I've got some festivals and events I'll be tabling at, so hopefully I'll be able to make some sales because the student loans are kicking in and there is a very real chance that I just end up broke, homeless, and dead lol

Thanks private institutions! Thanks US Government! Thanks animation industry!

But hey, as long as I can keep posting rat content on NG, I think I'll be juuuust fine

Happy Spooky Month NG! Hope you all get a KING SIZED candy bar when you trick or treat this year B^)

HEY EVERYONE I JUST UPLOADED A NEW ANIMATION CHECK IT OUT :D

^^^^^

It's about one of those ~secret~ menu items you can get a places like Starbucks

Not really, it's just something for fun & to help promote my NEW SWEATSHIRTS!

They look pretty cool, huh? At least I think you (Yes YOU specifically) would look VERY cool in it.

They're also on sale! Only 40$! (includes free shipping)

It's been awesome getting to make clothes and stickers and such, I really enjoy getting to work with physical items in addition to my digital work. Makes for a nice balance, y'know? I'm trying to stay independent with my shit so if you'd like to see me make more art and animations and such, the best way to support me is directly though my store.

I might be making a super short and simple animation in the coming weeks if time permits me, but I'll definitely be releasing more stickers and illustrations in the near future. So keep your eyes peeled!

Thanks NG love ya stay blessed<3

Hey y'all! Ratchili is BACK and I am in the holiday spirit.

I just released two new halloween items on my online store and I'm super excited to share them with everyone!

I shared some images of what I cooked up over in the art portal, check it out!

First 10 orders on the short come with 2 free stickers, so if you're feeling spooky (or just feel like showing off your undying love of pizza), I always appreciate the support<3

Also if you missed it, I drew some youtubers! I did it as a little exercise to help fight burnout but something pretty exciting actually came out of it that I will be sharing with everybody once I'm allowed to talk more about it (it's a secret hehehehe)

Happy Spooky Month every1, hope it's as scary as your mom fresh out of the shower (jk jk)

Love y'all BYE

HELLO EVERYONE!

You may or may not be aware but I've got a NEW ANIMATION and some NEW ART, NEW ART, NEW ART.

I've been a bit quiet, busy at work on starting my own little online art business.

THE RAT CHILI STORE.

I put a lot of love and work into it and plan on releasing all sorts of fun things. So if you like what you see and wanna support your local art rat, please take a look and maybe cop a thing or two. It'll help me eat and help you have swagger.

As far as updates go, I've thrown in the towel with Mr Beachcomber. I need to make money and the amount of time and energy that depressing ass film would take to finish is not really worth the pay off at this rate. The past couple years have been very tough on me and I've felt like I've spent the past several months crawling my way out of the gaping maw of depression and anxiety. SO, rather than working on something that bums me out and gets me nowhere, I'm just going to work on this new crazy cast of characters I've got in the works that you'll be seeing in toons, comics, and merchandise. Hopefully y'all enjoy what I've got cooking up! (Zines, prints, and gifs coming soon)

Appreciate the front page on my latest animation, NG stays undefeated as the most supportive place I swear<3

So keep your eyes peeled, I'll be back soon!

Thanks every1, have a good day :*

Hey everyone!

It is I, the chili'd rat.

So there's this really dope collab with a lot of cool creators coming out soon, called THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN COLLAB. Obviously this is a tribute to Lemon Demon's classic piece, The Ultimate Showdown, and the iconic flash animation that accompanied it. I just uploaded my portion separately as a gif over at the art portal, CHECK IT OUT!

Major shout outs to @blabberdookie and Beverly for having me on the project, I'm very excited to see the whole thing!!

So what about Mr. Beachcomber? Good question...I know I said it'd be out by now but turns out graduating college, moving, and ending a long term relationship all at the same time while still feeling the effects of a pandemic was a lot harder than I anticipated. The project is mostly finished but there are a few scenes left I need to animate if I'm ever going to be satisfied with it, I just needed a few months to get back on track because life does what life do. So rest assured knowing that I'm still working on it and have actually picked up the pace the past week. I'm looking to have it done by the end of the year so long as I don't die or end up homeless. (Maybe I should start a Patreon? Idk)

I really appreciate the support I've been getting on my more recent projects, it means a lot and I hope to deliver some more really cool stuff to you all very soon<3

Here's another little peak at my film just to show you what I'm cooking up:

See ya soon, party people.

Hey everyone!

Just a quick update about my student film, Mr. Beachcomber.

The voices have been filled by @saminat and @dreojpuerte and myself, but seriously thanks to everyone who took the time to offer their voices. It made me really happy to see so many people showing support and excitement for this project, so I can't wait to have it finished for all of you!

I'm planning on having my film done between July and August. Normally this would've been finished in April but covid kinda fucked up my whole thesis process and I lost a good amount of time I had for the original deadline. Nevertheless, I'm making something I'm real proud of, so I'll let you guys know the exact release date ASAP. I've been working real hard and you will be seeing Mr Beachcomber REAL soon.

Here's an extra little sneak peak as evidence:

There's a lot more but I don't wanna spoil too much! I'll be back with more soon

Thanks again ya beautiful bastards!!!

HELLO I NEED VOICE ACTORS AND MUSICIANS FOR MY SENIOR THESIS FILM "MR. BEACHCOMBER."

Here is a link to the collab post with all the details.

This is a paid opportunity and pretty neat one at that. If you wanna work on a gross, dark, and funny film that could make or break my entire career as an animator, then please reach out! I'm willing to answer all questions if you got any.

You can PM me or e-mail me at RatChiliArt@gmail.com

Thanks y'all.

SO here's a new thing I made:

It's small but I felt like I needed to post SOMETHING.

Anywho, I've been surviving the pandemic fine thus far. I'm still working and doing what I can to produce content for school and for you wonderful people online. I'm gonna try and upload smaller things more frequently, so hopefully you'll be seeing more of me around. Not like I'm gonna be outside or anything lmao.

As for a life update, my school has been switched to an online curriculum for the remainder of the semester and we've all been kicked off campus. It's a very anxious, depressing, confusing time to be alive and a lot of young artists have had internships and jobs they worked very hard for suddenly cancelled due to everything happening. So if you can, throw some extra love to all the artists who are still doing their best to produce content for everyone in these dark times! Hell I'm broke but I'm still an NG supporter!

So stay strong and work hard, everyone!

Also wash ur fucking hands.

<3
