Hey there! I’m FieryExplosion, sometimes known as FierySprites on other websites. I can best be described as a guy who likes playing video games, reading fanfiction, and spending way too much time glued to a digital screen. I’ve been present on DeviantART since February 2015 (though I’ve been lurking for a lot longer), and though I’m not the most active guy in town, I like to think that I’ve carved out a comfortable little niche for myself here. I specialize in a variety of trades, none of which really fit into the category of ‘traditional artwork’: custom sprites, sprite comics, fanfiction, and TF/TG content.
My sprite work primarily consists of recreated UI and menu elements from across various gaming franchises—most commonly, Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Kirby, and Kingdom Hearts. I also have various mock-ups demonstrating how some of them would look in action, which can be found in their own dedicated folder. Occasionally, I’ll branch out and make some more physical entities, but those are few and far between. If you want to use any of them yourself, then go right ahead; just make sure to credit me somewhere, be it in the work itself or an accompanying description.
You can also find my own gag-a-day sprite comic, Epicly Random: A Sonic Comic, here, as well on ComicFury. Check it out, maybe! It’s got over a hundred issues, some really fun character interactions, and self-indulgent crossovers a plenty. I’ve recently gotten back into making issues as of late on an infrequent basis after being hit by a dose of nostalgia in April 2025, so don’t be surprised if you see those pop into your queue every once in a while.
Writing fanfiction has been my most passionate hobby for several years now, with my preferred franchises being Super Mario Bros., Kirby, Persona, and Danganronpa, though I’m not remiss to branching out every now and again. I have a number of one-off and connected fics alike, with the Make a Friend (Kirby) and Nothing is Decided Entirely by Fate series (Mario) being my two biggest examples of the latter. They don’t get a whole lot of activity here as compared to FFN and AO3, but that’s no reason to ignore the audience I have here, no?
Easily my most prolific work on this site, however, is my library of TF/TG literature (which invariably involves boys turning into girls), in the form of both captions and long-form fics. I primarily write them using characters from various fandoms, most commonly from Persona, Danganronpa, and Kingdom Hearts (with their protagonists being particularly favorite victims of mine) – though as of late, I’ve been more willing to write some more self-insert and original TF/TGs as well. I put together the caps using RaZupaN’s Caption Creator, which—while definitely aged—is a handy and convenient tool to have.
My upload schedule is extremely erratic, as expected from a hobbyist such as myself. Usually, I post stuff as soon as I consider it done, and no later than that. Don’t be surprised if I go months at a time without any major activity, though I am trying to be more consistent as of late. That being said, I guarantee you that I’m not gonna leave anytime soon. This place has been my primary stomping grounds for over a decade, after all. If you can stick around and be patient with me, I’m sure you’ll be delighted by all I have to offer.
Also, since it's become increasingly more frequent on this site and the rest of the world as of late, I have to make it clear: this is a no AI art zone. The only trace of AI you're gonna see is if it's attached to a cap in my favorites that I think has a decent enough premise to offset it. Please support actual artists wherever possible.

Have you seen and fully experienced Star-Crossed World and Air Riders from the Kirby Series? Just wondering if they helped get your motivational juices flowing on the Make A Friend Series front. And again, is there anything myself or anyone else can do to help you with that, since we both really enjoy that series and care about you?
Just Curious to tell you this. But what do the Voices Are Mental & Voices Are Not Mental Tropes respectively mean?
I, uh. Why are you asking me this? You can literally just look up TV Tropes for that.
Oh sorry... Please don't be mad.
Oh no, don’t worry! I’m not mad, just… confused.
