I had become internet mutuals with Kyle A. Carrozza back around May of this year. We didn't really interact short of me making fanart for him and liking and commenting on some of his art on Cara and on Instagram for the brief stint I was on there. This news has fucking devastated me in a way that has hurt me on a personal level. I never knew the guy that well, but Jesus Christ. I feel like shit for having associated with the guy or having drawn art for him. I'm honestly surprised and disappointed by this information. I didn't know any of this, and despite that, I really feel sick to my stomach. I'm not going to delete any of the Mighty Magiswords or Moobeard the Cow Pirate art I have posted here, as I have no interest in pretending I never drew any art based off his stuff, as it's the coward's way out. I just feel sick to my fucking stomach, and idk if I can go to sleep tonight because of how bad I feel about this shit.

I too have only just found out of this info as of this news post being posted 9 mins ago, and I am not really in full knowing of what exactly happened yet, as I am currently looking into it. Like right now as a matter of fact. Saw some comments on an unrelated art work earlier make a vague reference to, "The events of today" and I was curious about this. Your news post is actually what I found next after checking the NG featured content. His Instagram is lighting him up atm about the charges and such. Don't lose too much sleep over this, you have done nothing wrong. I'm just another user on this platform, but hear me when I say that feeling uneasy in your situation is ok, for most it could be considered the appropriate response. At the same time, don't let this consume you. As you said, you hardly knew him. Even if you can't put your mind to rest over this terrible news, please rest for your body's sake.
P.S I like your traditional works that you have posted, I favorited the practice doodles you did on Daffy as well as SpongeBob and Plankton. Your expressions are really enjoyable, Id say you are making great progress! The Mighty Magiswords art you mentioned is also pretty good, and good on you for choosing to keep them up. You still put effort into them, and that's truly all that matters.

Thx. I did somehow manage to get some sleep, but when I got up, I didn't want to get up either after everything that happened. I'm probably going to go back to bed in a sec because quite frankly, I don't want to be awake after the shit that happened yesterday. The only good thing about yesterday was the fact that it was Tom Kenny's birthday. Otherwise, it was complete crap.
As for my art, I've even improved since the work I've posted so far in many areas, but I still need more practice. I might start posting some of my newer work, but my drive for art has been shot for a long while, and idk if it's coming back anytime soon.
