GOOEYCANDY Newsletter & Updates! 🐺 [AUGUST2025 - Issue #16]: "Back to the Background"

Welcome back for another Gooeycandy Newsletter, where you get up to date with ALL things gooeycandy! Let's dive right in!

🎨 Art & Project Progress:

So first off, since a lot of my pins are running out quick, I placed a re-order! I also made some adjustments to the "Nice Cock!" pins, including a gradient on the dick (I have yet to receive an progress update, I hope the gradient looks good) as well as a 3rd skin tone option!! We now have Pale, Tan and Dark skin tone options! ♥

I also got an update on the new "GayBoy Advance" pin and wow it goes crazy, check it out!

I'm really enjoying designing pins, so if they continue to be successful, you can bet more designs will be coming down the line! And maybe I can even resurrect a certain pin related project I had to put on hold...

👋🏻 Hands On! Progress:

FINALLY some steady progress is being made again! I've joined forces with a new programmer (proper reveal soon), and we're being very ambitious about bringing you a whole new & fresh experience!

The main background is mostly complete! This time around, the background is going to be more alive and fluid than ever! And...widescreen! Just a teaser for now, but know we're prioritizing Hands On more than ever, so LOTS more updates are on the horizon!

🔎In Case You Missed It!

Earlier this week I posted a touched-up version of a Mr. Wolf piece from a few years ago, since Bad Guys 2 just came out. Click here to check out that piece + all the alts!

I also threw together a silly TikTok of some of my OCs. These videos are always really fun to make, so hopefully I can make them more often! Check it out here!

🔎 Current Focuses:

🍎High Priority

• Hands On Expressions and Clothes

• Complete a character bio for my website!

💬 Suggestion Box:

There's also a new type of suggestion box open! For this one, I'm asking you to suggest an entire franchise/game/show, etc. This will help decide a future “ensemble” piece with 3 or more characters! Read more in the actual post!

❔ Questions For You:

With Gooeyween right around the corner, I'm brainstorming new Halloween merch & prompts for the Gooeyween art challenge! So...

Are there any words of inspiration you've got/on-theme characters you wanna see?

I'm all ears. Let's get spooky!

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

So, uh. It's been a pretty unorthodox couple of weeks. Got into a huge fight with my dad over politics and AI (gross). And now I'm kind of... avoiding home for a bit. I'm realizing how truly important found family is. I feel like I should be sadder about it but this isn't the first time we've butt heads like this and I sort of just want to throw myself into work and not stress it too much. My brother was also so awesome and supportive during the whole blowout. There are SOME good straight men out there lol.

On the upside, I went to a theme park and a card trading event this weekend and had a blast. Hands On progress also has me SO SO hype. I guess I'm a bit confused lately, because I have so much good going on lately, but with some huge bummers sprinkled in. I gotta remember to focus on the good first n foremost.

Hope you're all having a wonderful end to summer!

⚽ Now to Gooey with Sports: Dodgeball has been so fun this season!! I'm playing harder than ever and really feel like I'm getting better!! Our team is in 2nd place right now. Just a few weeks to go let's GET THAT MEDAL!!

🎥 NOW WATCHING: X-Files!

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

X-Files: Just finished season 1... CRAZY. I love Scully so much she is so down bad for Mulder (me too, girl) and their bond is so adorable. Ugh, it's so hard fighting the urge to go on the tags to see funny X-files memes but I don't want spoilers for the other ELEVEN OR SO SEASONS lol.

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!
