The fifth season of Nigel's Art-cade that ran during 2024 marks an epic milestone in the series with a record breaking 57 characters (50 new, 7 returning) drawn. This season ran during my 7-month break from education, between finishing secondary school and starting university.

This season saw the return of five characters who have been absent since season 2: Pete, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pekeroné and Beavis and marks the last appearances of Mickey Mouse to give more chances to other characters in his franchise to be drawn, and Marco Onda from Marco and the Galaxy Dragon, as she is given a well deserved break after appearing five seasons in a row and being an iconic character in the Nigel's Art-cade saga. Season 5 also features the first two fictional characters from my country, Malaysia!

With me starting university, Nigel's Art-cade is currently on hiatus. Season 6 will happen, but likely once I complete university and/or if I'm not super busy with life. Nigel's Art-cade will return again one day.
