🏴‍☠️ It's been a hot minute

I'm finally on break and got around to finishing this, two months past when I wanted to, but I like how it turned out. FNaF isn't my biggest interest anymore but with the release of the movie, I wanted to see how much I've improved since 2014 (it's a lot just take my word for it-).
