Well, this one also took me quite a while

But this one was also made with a lot of care too!


Octo is this lil' fella I met in 2021, and although I've first heard of him

on Newgrounds due to his rotoscoped FNF' animation, the first time we truly

interacted with each other was ironically, on Twitter, a site we both despise

and that we'd eventually quit pretty much simultaneously


And ever since I met Octo, I've been introduced to so many cool things, I got

introduced to so many new people, and I've learned so many cool things

In fact, most of the stuff I like doing nowadays is pretty much because of him

either directly or indirectly


Octo got my interest on Linux to peak, eventually making me do the full switch

to Artix Linux once I got tired of Windows' bullshit

Octo got me to give Quake a chance after I had such a weird dislike towards it

And now, it's something I play on a daily basis and pretty much inspires my

style and preferences a lot, and he also made me remember my love towards Worms

so there's that too

Octo got me into this cool group that introduced me to so many cool friends

real ones that I talk and interact on a daily basis, and have been a big

highlight in my life, specially in recent years

Hell, this site itself, including some of it's features only exist because of

Octo, because his websites really resonated with me, and that inspired me to

seek to create my own


Octo's will be a big fucking meanie and call you racial slurs at the first chance

he gets, but he's a real one, the type of friend I've been asking for my whole life

and I'm glad we've come across each other, and the more I sit and think about it

This little fella' did a lot for me, so this is a way of saying

"Thanks for being a little rascal, and a great friend"


Octo's a real one, so are you.


This piece is pretty much a re-imagining of a piece he made a while ago

Even the quote himself is straight up ripped from the original art

I also added a lot of references an jokes, some of them either inside-jokes

or just references to older things or things he likes, so this is kind of

a celebration piece all things considered


I also plan to make more art of my friends, specially those who reached to me during

the fucked up episode I had a while ago, so keep in tune for more


I hope you're all having a great day

Cheers.
