Purplestin (12/16/2015)
This isn't William Afton, before you ask. According to 9 year old me: "It's a diffrent purple man,it's the evil twin brother of me."
Fanmade FNAF wrold gameplay (12/16/2015)
Mockups of various fights and scenes from the then unreleased FNaF World. Did you know that FNAF World just turned a decade old while I'm writing this? Jesus christ I'm old.
In the comments of the third gameplay mock-up someone got on my case for having Shadow Bonnie be an enemy. I defended myself by saying that in the context of this mock-up you'd unlock him as a playable character by beating him. Turns out that is exactly how you unlock characters in the actual game. Who's laughing now, /u/Plushtrapped?
The Death Boy stuff uses an edit made by /u/Evanetot that I didn't ask permission for prior to making it. The original art source itself seems to be long gone so in a way I helped preserve it
FNAF 3 remastered loading screen (12/16/2015)
Mockup for a hypothetical 'FNAF 3 remastered". Bare in mind the game wasn't even a year old when I made this. Why was the idea of a remaster on my mind at the time? tHe mind of nine year old me is hard to comprehend.
Austin wearing a N.Fredbear mask (12/16/2015)
My persona at the time wearing a poorly cut out head of Nightmare Fredbear. I remember being really proud of this when I made it.
I'm getting outa town! (12/17/2015)
Art I made in response to being temporarily banned from r/fivenightsatfreddys, depicting me running away from the Freddit mod team at the time.
Obviously, since I was banned I couldn't actually post it on the subreddit, so I did the next best thing: post it onto an unrelated subreddit (in this case r/Spongebros, a subreddit for Spongebob-themed Super Smash Bros memes) and beg people to post it on Freddit for me. With credit, of course!
Needless to say, nobody did me a solid. I ended up uploading it myself on the 22nd after my ban expired.
Undertale austin fight (12/17/2015)
Art I made a day after I got banned from the fnaf reddit. I found the moderation for the Undertale reddit quite a bit more lax in terms of 'low effort content' compared to the fnaf reddit (Rule 8 used to be my kryptonite). That, combined with the slightly more positive reception it got (which to this day I still cannot tell if it was genuine) made be believe the Undertale reddit could be my safe haven. That thought was quite short lived.
Undertale was like three months old at this point and I was just getting into it. I don't think I actually watched any gameplay footage of it until a little later so I didn't actually know a whole lot about it. I watched Jacksepticeye's playthrough of it in order to get my fix and I wouldn't actually play the game until a little bit after it came out on Switch. To this day I still haven't completed a full Genocide route.
Friskstin and austin! (12/17/2015)
The third Undertale fanart I made at the time, featuring Frisktin and Floweystin. They have the 'stin' suffix because they were drawn in my 'art style' at the time.
Like I said previously, I thought that the Undertale subreddit could've been a safe space to share my art without any criticism, but the feedback I got from this art shot that down quick. As one reddit user put it, "this is shit"
updated fazbear fright exit cam (12/18/2015)
A shoddy edit of one of the cameras from FNaF 3. I was still banned from the main subreddit, so this was uploaded to the dedicated fangame subreddit, r/fivenightsatfangames. That sub has since died.
If you couldn't tell already, the majority of my edits and drawings were either made with good old MS Paint or Scratch, a coding website that I frequented. It was basically my main art program for a solid year or two before I learnt how to use Paint.net
Made this (12/19/2015)
I found the pixel art style from the FNAF games at the time quite easy to replicate, so you may see a lot of 'So Retro' style pieces here. Turns out the FNAF minigame art style has a lot of nuance that makes them look somewhat appealing. Don't ask me why the animatronics are facing the wrong way. I have no idea how I screwed that up.
I was still banned from the main subreddit, so this was uploaded on r/FNAF, which is basically just an in-joke for the main subreddit now at this point.
Five Splats on Freddy (12/19/2015)
Oh boy, Five Splats on Freddy. I uploaded this on the Splatoon subreddit since, again, I was still banned, yet still wanted to make FNAF content. I was hyperfixated on Splatoon at the time, so thus, this thing was made. This would eventually spin off into a series of fake games on Fantendo (video game fanon wiki), which is its own entire seperate can of worms that is deserving of its own day in the sun.
Keep in mind that 2015 was a time where posting about FNaF anywhere that wasn't a dedicated community for it got you loads of hatemail. Cringe culture was at its peak around this era, and being a stubborn autistic child who frequented Reddit and Deviantart put me right in the crossfires. But I didn't really care. In a way, I wish adult me was more like kid me. All this to say that the r/splatoon community really didn't like this piece.
What if Scott pulled us the world's biggest prank? (fake) (12/22/2015)
A mockup for a FNaF 5 teaser, back when the idea of a fifth mainline game was up in the air. Remember when it felt like FNaF could end? Good times.
Five Splats on Freddy 2 Old Puppet (12/23/2015)
A shoddy edit of a Withered Puppet, which I called Old Puppet. This was for the sequel to my fnaf 'fangame' series, Five Splats on Freddy. If I recall correctly, the Puppet was in the first game and the OG cast would be withered, including Puppet. Wasn't I just so creative back then?
What Can We Use (12/23/2015)
Back during the 'golden age' of fnaf, it was common to see 'resource packs' of various cutouts from FNaF renders in order to assist in making edits. This thing was the result of me slapping a bunch of assets from resource packs together into something vaguely inspired by prerelease FNaF 3 theories of some sort of frankenstein animatronic. The tongue ears are my favorite part.
Inkstin (12/23/2015)
Me as an Inkling. That kind of derp face (T_T) was very common to see on art like this.
Five Splats On Freddy 2 cutscene 1 (12/23/2015)
A mockup cutscene supposedly in the style of the FNaF 2 scenes for Five Splats on Freddy 2. This uses two pieces of uncredited fanart, which as of now I cannot find the original source for either. My justification was that 'Eh,No one really uses them anymore,anyways" (sic)
Austin in FNAF 2 (12/23/2015)
Mockup cameras of me in FNaF 2. I replied to someone with a jumpscare image but I'm afraid it is lost media.
FSOF 2 Icon (12/24/2015)
App icon for Five Splats on Freddy 2. I don't think any of the FSOF 2 stuff I uploaded to reddit actually contained any Splatoon stuff. I'm sure people were confused about why it was called that.
I apparently uploaded this to a dedicated Five Splats on Freddy subreddit, which has now been restricted.
I Tried to draw Brow Boy (Keyword:TRIED) (12/25/2015)
I sure did try alright.
LOL_i_HAVE_rETURN
Five Cr@ppy nights @ Austin's (12/27/2015)
A Five Nights at Fuckboy's parody starring me. The BB edit may or may not have been stolen from somewhere else.
Demolished Chica (12/27/2015)
Or: Withered Withered Chica. Making fnaf edits with Scratch is hard you guys.
A.C.Gaster (12/27/2015)
Me as Gaster. Or Gaster in my artstyle at the time. Hard to say.
Five Nights At Phantom Freddy's (12/28/2015)
Another Scratch edit. I am positive that Phantom Bonnie edit was stolen too. I had a pretty big problem with stealing edits for a while. In my defense, this edit was thrown around a lot back then and I think to this day as well. No clue who originally made it.
Springtrap's Left Leg (12/28/2015)
During this time, Bonnie's Left Leg was a bit of a niche meme. It was literally just Withered Bonnie's leg with a hat on. This is the same concept but with Springtrap. Really stretching the definition of 'art' here.
Phantom JJ (12/28/2015)
Man literally all i did was cut Phantom BB's face in half. I cannot blame the Freddit mods for taking this down for rule 8.
Austin EX (12/28/2015)
My badass final boss in Undertale. This is obviously a knock-off of that one Omega Sans animation from this era. I made a page about this detailing a fight on an Undertale fanon wiki, and it was pretty much just a play-by-play of the same animation.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR FIGHTING?
Adventure Bonnie's Left Leg (12/29/2015)
What the hell am I even doing.
Made A FNAF Office (1/2/2016)
A very basic office derivative of the one from FNaF 2
Insertunsernamehere_
JJ Sprite (3/12/2016)
Lazy recolor of the FNaF 3 BB sprite to look like JJ. I think it looks just as good as it could've been.
YouTube Rewind Freddy Plush (3/15/2016)
Oh my god dude i literally just hue shifted a Freddy plush. Yeah the freddy in the video was blue but oh my god this is insanely lazy. What was 9 year old me thinking???
Nailed it (3/15/2016)
A very 2016 image indeed. Honestly not sure what the point of this one was.
WII-Ustin
scott AND THE RADICAL RAINBOW! (5/15/2016)
One of many FNaF X Undertale AUs I came up with. Does anybody remember when Undertale was only a year old and both it and FNaF had a somewhat intense fandom rivalry? Undertale fans didn't really like seeing FNaF crossover content and vice versa. Nowadays they've of course mellowed out but I thought it was funny because most people I knew back then liked both.
r/FNAF RPG (5/15/2016)
A teaser for an RPG I would've made featuring various r/fivenightsatfreddys users, depicting Invaderzz, the head mod at the time. I believe there was already a Freddit RPG being made at the time so most people just saw this as redundant.
I'm pretty positive that RPG ended up cancelled. Mine didn't get much further. I think I made like the main menu and intro before I called it quits.
Here's my enteration of this Banner Contest (5/17/2016)
A submission for a banner contest for a subreddit known as r/FNaFBannedPeeps2, a place for recently banned Fredditors to hang out. I'm pretty sure that subreddit is long gone now.
WHYDIDILOGOUT
Every,Child,Ever (3/26/2016)
Jokes on you, 9 year old me.
Also the face here is clearly inspired by Sweet Bro & Hella Jeff. This is long before I ever even considered reading Homestuck, but I thought SBaHJ was funny. I had no idea it was even related to Homestuck at the time.
Springtrap Turns The Tables! (3/30/2016)
My bread and butter spritework, complete with mixels and sprites at angles!
I believe this started as me spriting out Springtrap in Mettaton EX's pose before I noticed that it looked like he was a DJ. The rest is a somewhat entertaining historical fact.
Fnaf 57 Teaser 5! (4/2/2016)
Mock teaser for Scottgames.com's April Fools prank that year: A fake game titled FNaF 57: Freddy In Space.
For some reason I got quite a bit into the idea to where I made multiple teasers and mockups, but most of them hardly qualify as art under my own arbitrary ruling.
Did some FNAF sprites (4/2/2016)
Simple fnaf sprites, with mixels and all. All of the pixel art I made during this time was done with the Scratch rectangle tool, hence why it does not even bother following any rules or logic whatsoever when it comes to pixel art.
Minigame FNAF WOrld W.I.P 2 (4/4/2016)
Attempted recreation of the FNaF World teaser in my signature mixel art style. I never actually finishing it.
I got a bit into pixel art during this time since I felt confident in it. You can see that that confidence was doing a lot of heavy lifting. There are definitely some good faces that came out of it, though. Just look at that Chica!
Cartoontale Timmy (4/5/2016)
An edited Timmy Turner sprite to vaguely look like Papyrus. This was apart of an Undertale AU I had at the time, where the cast of Undertale was replaced by various cartoon characters. I made a sprite for Spongebob over Sans but it's lost media now.
Accurate BB Sprite (4/9/2016)
Another sprite recolor, this time of the FnaF 3 BB sprite again to resemble his traditional color palette. I don't know what's up with the outline.
Withered Rachel (4/10/2016)
Edit of Rachel from Those Nights at Rachel's. Does anyone remember that game?
This reminds me of an event where the creator of TNaR, Nikson, approved of some porn of his characters. I found out and blew up at him over it. Today I see people of that age do the same exact thing. Old habits die hard.
Toy Withered Bonnie (4/10/2016)
Edit of a Withered Toy Bonnie, clearly derivative from that one Withered Toy Bonnie edit that was about a year or two old at this point. You know the one.
Unwithered Freddy (4/12/2016)
Edit of an Unwithered Freddy. Apparently in newgen FNaF lore the unwithereds aren't a thing. The Withered animatronics just kind of looked like that from the start. Or so I've heard.
Accurate Shadow Bonnie Sprite (4/13/2016)
Dude all I did was color it black
Full Body Endo (4/14/2016)
Attempt at a full body edit of the FnaF 1 Endoskeleton, stanced up. For some reason this uses a lot of FnaF 2 assets.
E.V.I.L (4/16/2016)
Oh dear god. For some reason this piece specifically gives me a lot of second hand embarrassment. Or since I made it, first hand embarrassment. I don't like looking or thinking about it.
Omega Grand Dad (4/17/2016)
I was really into Siivagunner this year (or Giivasunner as he was back then), I made a lot of content dedicated to it. This is one of the few things I'd consider worthy of putting on this site.
If NBB actually LOOKED like a Nightmare (4/18/2016)
I sure did scratch him up a whole lot.
FANF WERLD (Old Man Consy Ending) (4/21/2016)
The name implies that I was gonna make a graphic like this for all the other FNaF World endings, but of course that never ended up happening. Probably because it wasn't really that funny.
Bon Bon in the FNAF1 Office! (4/24/2016)
A simple edit of Circus Baby in the FNaF 1 office. At the time we only had the first Sister Location teaser to go off of. I assume that it was a variation of Bonnie, hence why I used Toy Bonnie's body. I also called it Bon Bon, which just so happened to be the same name as a character in the finished game. Neat.
FUDKGFSJKGJKGFJKDGJKFG (4/24/2016)
Hypothetical design for the then unnamed character's full design. Do not ask me why I named it keyspam.
FUDKGFSJKGJKGFJKDGJKFG In the FNAF2 Office! (4/24/2016)
Man I really tried to make that name stick did I
Doggo (4/26/2016)
Another attempt at making a full design for the mysterious new animatronic. This time I tried to argue that it was a dog and subsequently named it Doggo. Obviously I wasn't really spot on.
Fredbear the Flower (5/3/2016)
I remember when Undertale was still new people compared Flowey to that one FNaF 4 screen where the Fredbear plush's head was on a flowey. AUs abound.
The Joy of Creation Custom Night (5/3/2016)
Mockup for a Custom Night screen of the Joy of Creation fangame. I think the game was still in the tech demo stage by the time this was made so I have no idea how this would've even worked.
TJOC Bonnie FNAF Styled (5/4/2016)
Ignited Bonnie from The Joy of Creation remade with FNaF assets. Stanced the hell up as you can see.
Sans has a pretty Hard life... (5/27/2016)
A spoof of the Sans fans that were common at the time. I find it funny how I was real deep into cringe culture when I was often targetted by it more often than not. Friendly fire, much?
Papyrus X Springtrap (PapTrap) (5/31/2016)
This looks like found footage. Anyways more joke art making fun of the fanbase yes.
Ladies And Gentlemen, I present to You... A Zombie Apocalypse (6/15/2016)
A simple scene made by coloring a bunch of fnaf sprites in. At the time I was permabanned from r/fivenightsatfreddys, so I posted this to an alternative subreddit at the time, r/FazCo. I think that subreddit is dead too.
Withered FNAF1 Freddy (6/25/2016)
An important milestone in my internet career. This was the first thing I ever made using Paint.net. I don't even think I knew how layers worked at this time. I've come very far if you couldn't tell.
Animatronic Me (6/26/2016)
My iconic persona from like 2014 - 2016, in animatronic form! May or may not be the second ever thing I made in Paint.net.
Some Sprites I Made (7/4/2016)
A different style of pixel art I experimented with. As you can see it isn't much of an improvement. Again, I was banned from the main subreddit, so this was uploaded on the little known r/fivenightsatpixelart. It's probably also dead by now.
Unine (7/7/2016)
Joke comic featuring 'Unine'. This turned into a little series that I would upload onto my old Deviantart for a bit. I think I forgot to put a background on this one.
Forgotten Freddy (7/8/2016)
The first of a series of edits for "forgotten" animatronics. Honestly not bad for me being somewhat inexperienced with Paint.net.
I Has Made a Proper Recreation of Undyne's Date (7/8/2016)
Another Unine comic, recreating her date. Except I don't think it was really a date in the game? Whatever it uses the dating music.
Forgotten Bonnie (7/9/2016)
The second of the Forgotten animatronics. The Springbonnie(?) there I think is a bit cheesy.
Funtime Wat (7/9/2016)
I believe the context for this is that someone on a DeviantArt group I was in found this clown statue thing and asked someone to make it into a funtime animatronic. Naturally, I obliged.
Forgotten Foxy (7/10/2016)
The last of the Forgotten animatronics apparently. I didn't upload Forgotten Chica to Reddit so she doesn't count as of right now.
NEW FNAF GAME/s (7/10/2016)
Another reason why I am very happy to make this site. I completely forgot I made this and it likely would be LOST MEDIA had I not found it.
Forgotten BB (7/11/2016)
Okay so I lied apparently.
Hello There! (7/11/2016)
I forgot this era where I got really into FNaF World edits. These are Adventure Forgotten animatronics if you couldn't tell.
Forgotten Puppet (7/14/2016)
Ok so this is definitely the last Forgotten animatronic. Unless I did mangle or springtrap or whatever. Maybe I did and they're LOST MEDIA...
Some Kind of Freddy land BB (7/16/2016)
Rare traditional art preserved from this era. Back then I felt like my traditional art was way better thany my digital art, but I didn't exactly have the means to scan my traditional art at the time.
FNAFCringe Drawings: SMK, Austin, And Doomedis Vore-on-Vore (7/17/2016)
I promise on my soul, this was supposed to be joke art. I was really early on this whole 'irony' thing.
Do people even remember Super Minecraft Kid anymore? I remember him being on the levels of Chris-Chan and SammyClassicSonicFan, but I think he's been mostly forgotten. Probably because he was doing a bit, probably because he was only really big in my neck of the woods.
Unine finds her Famili (Tragic Tale) | Part 1 (7/20/2016)
Another Unine comic. This was going to be a small arc presumably, but I don't think I finished it (un?)fortunately, nor do I think I made any more Unine comics.
Ghoul Freddy (8/2/2016)
The start of another set of animatronics, the 'Ghoul' animatronics. I'm pretty sure this was inspired by a set of Loud House / Tokyo Ghoul crossover art. I had no idea what Tokyo Ghoul was about so I kinda just made the animatronics look vaguely intimidating.
pleasemakemeaccepted
Withered Bon-Bon (10/13/2016)
One of the first few FNaF edits I made that started to actually look kind of alright. I remember being quite reliant on this FNaF Sister Locaiton asset dump on a Google Drive that was made shortly after the game released for my SL edits. I had it bookmarked and everything.
some failed fnaf icons (11/26/2016)
Various icons for various FNaF characters. For some reason I was really self-deprecating about these. I think they hold up decently well. There's a lot of empty space because I planned to fill the rest of the space with even more characters.
2026 2025 2024
