GOOEYCANDY Newsletter & Updates! ๐Ÿ–ฑ [NOVEMBER2025 - Issue #22]: "New Site Who This?"

Welcome back for another Gooeycandy Newsletter! Let's dive right in!

๐ŸŽจ Art & Project Progress:

So, I was feeling a bit burnt out art-wise after the gauntlet of GooeyWeen, but I promise I'll be back up to speed soon. In the meantime, I went ahead and started polishing up my website, as I'm planning to do something fun & interactive with it soon!

Candy's character profile is about 70% complete, and character profiles after that should be much faster to create, since I'll have the layout down, so stay tuned there!

But here's a cool new update to the Gallery page:

There's now a sections for downloadable social icons & phone wallpapers! Just a few for now, but I plan to update it from time to time! Def let me know if there are any past pieces of mine you'd want me to include here!

There's also a new area just for videos!

I also added more in depth descriptions for pieces in the gallery (some are still in the works). Plus, just a new coat of paint yo the site with updated art. Def check it out if you haven't in a while: gooeycandy.com!

๐Ÿ›’ Shop Updates:

I've been wanting to see if there's interest in smaller stickers, so I've added some teeny 1.5 inch stickers to my shop. I really like how they look, and may make more in the future if the demand is there!

Right now it's just for Sweaty Guzma and Howlin' Honey, but I'm curious to know if there's other designs you'd like as a small sticker.

Posters are also back for a limited time. I may be discontinuing them (after these sell out) for a while as they're really hard to ship safely/cheaply so get em' while they last!

๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Hands On! Progress:

Still in the process of finding Candy's voice, but progress has been made on the rigging and animating fronts. Not much to show, so enjoy biblically accurate Candy:

๐Ÿ”Ž Current Focuses:

๐ŸŽHigh Priority

โœ… Ongoing Poll:

In case you missed it, the Series Ensemble poll is now LIVE! Go vote here to help decide which series will get a big ensemble piece!

"Date Everything" has taken a hefty lead, but I've seen these turn around on a dime! Still half a month to sway the vote!

๐Ÿ’ฌ Suggestion Box:

There is no current suggestion box! One will open after the Incineroar (the last poll winner) piece is complete!

โ” Questions For You:

As the first year of this "Gooeycandy Newsletter" concept comes to close, what do you think of the format?

I'm always looking for ways to improve this Patreon, so brutal honesty is accepted! Is it too wordy, would you rather these updates were all separate posts? Let me know!

This section focuses on my personal life & stories, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to skip this segment!

So, after the minor burnout of GooeyWeen, I've been taking a little bit to focus on smaller tasks & life stuff. I deep cleaned my car and house from top to bottom AND decorated for Christmas! It feels SO FRESH IN HERE NOW, I love it!! It did a lot for my mental health. Now just...trying to get through organizing my Pokemon cards... a never ending battle.

I also started some new medication for ADHD (which is my first time being treated for it, even though I've been told I had it for years!) So hopefully there's some cool progress soon! Not much else to comment on other than I'm feeling pretty good! Hope you guys can ride this wave of positivity with me too!

๐ŸŽฅ NOW WATCHING:

SPOILERS AHEAD!! Don't read if not caught up!

๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿป Dancing with the Stars: Yeahhhh, I think it was Andy's time to go. I'm really worried about who's next tho because I've come to like so much of this cast. Robert is my winner pick, but that's my biased love for animals and Australia speaking. Also, saying Carrie Ann Anaba is the best vocal tick I've had in ages.

๐Ÿ‘ฝ X-Files: Getting towards the end of season 2 and wow it's been a string of insanely good episodes. This show has become such a comforting thing for me. Lay off my girl Scully though!!!

๐ŸŒด Survivor 49: RIP MC I hate the small voting pool twist it always screws players over. Ah well, Rizo made a REALLY good play. Gotta keep an eye on him! REALLY looking forward to this seasons endgame.

Also sidenote, I'm also watching Gabon and I just have to say this season is slept on. It's a mess, funny as hell, unique visually and why is old man Bob kinda hot...

Need new shows to watch while I work! If you're feeling something, recommend it down below! Feel free to hmu in the comments if you're also watching any of these!

GOOEYCANDY Newsletter & Updates! ๐Ÿ–ฑ [NOVEMBER2025 - Issue #22]: "New Site Who This?"

Comments

Awww thanks for the input, king ๐ŸŒธ i dont plan to remove the newsletter, but maybe treat it more like a monthly recap next year instead of something I need to have an announcement for each time. Because honestly there are just some weeks where all the work I do is not presentable! Like packing orders or Hands On technical stuff. As for medication, well see if I notice any substantial changes for now (they have me on a literal baby dose lol). YOU GOT IT DUDE go get medicated ๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ”ซ

candy puppetry.... they are doing thigns to him...... I really like the newsletter format!!! it's nice to see the updates of your wips over time and seems more comfortable not having to have huge finished projects on deadlines all the time! It's also nice to hear how your doin and have the lil comfortable spots to engage with you here and there. ^_^ As long as the format is feeling nice to work with for you then I'd say you've nailed it! Also congrats on medicating!!! I hope the new meds works out for you!!! i've been needing to get rediagnosed for ADHD meds for years but i keep executive dysfunctioning myself out of it, i miss my uni years where i was far more productive with it ๐Ÿ’€. if anything i hope it makes completing work less stressful for ya!!
