Illwillpress is the creator of Neurotically Yours, mostly known for his series Neurotically Yours, which has a major Collection on Newgrounds. This collection is subdivided into Foamy's Rant or Foamy Fanmail cartoons. Illwillpress is a very well known author and the nature of his material- social commentary about the whole world around his characters- have sparked much controversy. The submissions are mostly highly rated and continue to win many awards. However, the popularity of his flashes varies and at least two have received Turd Of The Week (e.g. the cartoon Suggestion Box, which has now been deleted). Illwillpress does not keep any movies which score less than 3.5 in his portfolio on Newgrounds, though this still leaves a massive 116 movies as of November 2009.

Success

As of November 2009: Illwillpress has won 74 awards, a significant achievement for any author- especially a single author who is not part of a crew. The majority of his submissions score over 4 and have thousands of views. Four of his movies have over a million views and the current top score is Zip Codes with 4.37, as judged by nearly 6,000 votes. Despite some criticism that his quality has dropped, his latest four submissions all scored over 4 with three Daily 3rds and one Daily 5th.

Criticism

Illwillpress has been criticized for not being funny, for using basic motion tweens and the same symbols over and over again, for only using one traced scene in his movies, and generally for putting far less effort into his work or having far less flash talent than other authors who have similar ratings. It has been described as construction-line flashes, every flash made very much the same way, with very little attempt to animate in any clever or visually appealing way. He has also been criticized for not partaking in the NG community at all and for advertising more than other artists. His defenders think he is very funny, though the content and topics depicted in episodes are often little more than rants of day-to-day activities and situations.
