Hey yall, my account is now 5 years old! (i mean, i think it is? based on timezone, idk, basically i registered it on 05.21.18)

Time flies huh?

Anyway, I didnt really prepare anything for this anniversary, but I'll probably just tell my experience with Newground so far in a nutshell (kinda long, you don't have to read anything tho lol)

DeviantArt.

So yeah, my first account ever created was on deviantart, which i dropped recently due to platform being.... inconsistent, i guess, and with recent AI shit they've been rolling out.

It was created in 2016, after two years i somehow discovered Newgrounds, either through artisits i followed on da or just by pure luck, after some research i've found out that NG was the source to most weird flash games i've played or seen other play (aka Pico vs Uberkids, which kinda scarred me bcs my older played it in front of me when i was a dumb baby lol).

I've decided to join, and started reposting my art here too.

Early years

They were kinda uneventful, i posted art, posted a crappy painting app, i think some animation too, but then I've noticed an announcement for Half Life Reanimated collab.

I've seen results of animation collabs before, but never been in one, i kinda wanted to try joining it but there was a major obstacle on my way, and that was my shyness lol.

So yeah, i was kinda scared to join, but decided to try anyway, and i got accepted!

At the time i had to combine animation with some heavy uni work, but i managed to finish my part (it was kinda flat on humor and animation quality but for a first time i think it was fine, i think i've also made a huge mistake by posting my part before the whole collab was out, but, well. hopefully i wont make that mistake again).

After some delays and other technical issues the whole collab has been released to the Newgrounds:

I am still proud of this work and i would like to thank @TerrorByte for hosting and pulling through despite all the shit that has happened in the making, and also for basically kickstarting my career.

Like i've said before, i was kinda shy and didnt really talk to anyone, but while working on the collab i've got to meet a lot of people, and it helped to overcome that in a way.

After that i've started working on more stuff, for example

Pixel Day Entries!

It's probably one of my favorite events on newgrounds so far, since i like retro stuff anyway, and there is a WHOLE DAY and a CONTEST dedicated to it, i've got to try it somehow!

But at the moment i was out of ideas, until i came across this AVGN clip about bits, you probably know it already lol.

I've finally got an idea for an entry, and i started working on it, and when i almost finished it, coincidentally the Bit meme gained popularity, it couldnt be more perfect of a timing than that!

So i finished the animation and published it, and it even got a fifth place iirc, which made me really happy (even to this day lol)

the animation was also posted on youtube, but it didnt get that many views compared to NG at the time, until, one year later the youtube algorithm bugged out and started recommending it to everyone, even me.

It earned me some subs and it has half a mil views, which doesnt really do anything, since the statistics on most other vids are about the same as before lol.

Year has passed since last Pixel Day, and i've decided to join yet again with a different me, this time it was this:

I got disqualified for using copyrighted characters, but i did make @ThatJohnnyGuy laugh, which was nice enough for me, i mean, i just like doing dumb animations, i dont really care if they win or not.

Another year has passed and Pixel Day 2023 came, due to some pressure at uni I was thinking about skipping this year's event and instead post something smaller in scale, that was the Walkin Goober Squad

(btw, even if it was intended as a smaller scale project, it took me about 2 months to complete still)

Buuut, a week before Pixel Day i've got inspiration and motivation to actually animate SOMETHING, but i only had less than a week to do so, fortunately the week was mostly free (Monday was my last exam, whcih i sapped with flying colors), so i've decided to start working and optimize EVERYTHING.

Everyday i would wake up early, and just animate, or work on anything related to the animation, i did minimal planning (all i did is basically pick a meme, imagine parts the animation would have and thats it) and mostly just added anything that seemed funny or nice looking, some smaller parts got scrapped due to time constraints but i pulled it off!

And this was the result of it!

Thanks to @baryiscool 's Awesome track and @TheRealArtie 's character this animation got a third place, got featured on frontpage, got its preview image used for Pixel Day Playlist preview image and it is currently my most watched animation on NG!

https://www.newgrounds.com/collection/pixelday2023

It was kinda overwhelming when it all happened but i am really happy that it did happen lol

I want to thank @ThatJohnnyGuy for still hosting and judging the event! You are awesome!

Oher projects

Beside Pixel day i've also made some more original projects and participated in the making of others, i'll probably shortly mention some of them

Eat bean Series

First started off as a meme, but now its kinda a dumb franchise of sorts lol

https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/c795c539b8306d4a3e13718ca131e8a1

You can check out all of the games in the series here

Stepford's Mobile Jam 2022

I've made a two week game for @Stepford 's Game jam

it's kidna bad lmao, but the event was fun and produced many cool ideas and games, hopefully i'll get to join it this year too!

Pet the Capdog!

This was made as a silly birthday gift for @irri

but somehow this has become really popular (for context, this still has the highest views of all of my entries, it even manages to still beat Artie's clocks, IDK HOW)

i am still quite confused lol

@Ant projects

we both contributed to each others projects (and maybe there are some that you dont even know about yet, hint hint)

Mainly i did some art pieces for the games, and Ant did voice acting for mine projects

he is currently the official voice for Yosh from Eat bean series

and he also voiced a fucking racecar in the other game lol

Thank you Ant, Awesome Work!

Closure or ending idk how to call these

There are a lot of other projects and art i've made, but i dont think i ahve enough time to talk about it lol (i am also currently reworking a paper for uni, because they changed the standarts or some shit, which means i gotta redo about 90% of the thing, so the time is kinda limited)

These 5 years on Newgrounds were Wonderful, the people are great, the portals are filled with gems, that could not have existed on other platforms, and the support has been great too!

I hope that i will be able to contribute and be apart of this great community, because without it, i would probably be the same shy dude posting art on da lol

Anyway, big thanks to @TomFulp for running and maintaining this place!

Without you i would be nothing lol

And thank you Newgrounds for being an awesome place and an awesome supporter!

Thanks for reading or looking through, hopefully i'll have more time to post some project in the near future!

(also the text is kinda messy, mostly cuz i was writing fast, English is not my first lang and im overall tired, so excuse me for that and feel free to point our obv mistakes ive made)

idk when i get to model this, but have a small behind the scenes thing, i'll probably rework hands and legs, i feel like there's something wrong with proportions on my sketch.

(character and reference art belongs to DullVivid)

Sorry i did nothing for it, kinda not feeling it lately, but i hope yall have a fun Pico Day!

Check this thing by @HawtDogull i playtested tho!

(technically its 71 now but eh, it WAS 70 before i posted this lol)

smol update about nsfw content and design changes

#$00 - UH OH, NOT SAFE FOR WORK

As mentioned in my 69th post, now all (or most) of my nsfw content will be posted primary on my nsfw alt, mostly just for convenience, but also bcs it didnt feel right to post nsfw stuff on my main

basically not much will be changing on my main, but now i'll also post some bad stuff on other acc as well, and i will not feel as guilty doing so, or idk

Currently working on adding content to it (expect a small game)

(Also, NO underage users are allowed on my nsfw alt, if i find you there, i will bite your damn ears off )

otherwise feel free to sub, if you are into this kinda of thing, and above 18 years old

#$01 - DESIGN CHANGES

As some of you may noticed, now i have new banner image and a new profile image on my active platforms

this time style is closer to my banners and pfps from like 2019-2021

#$02 - BOOSTY...?

Currently working on my boosty page, mainly for donations, i have no ideas on what to offer for subs, but i'll make a doodle for any donation currently

#$00 - ZNIW QUAKE

Quake mod featuring a very cool dino (< Download link)

It's mostly just a model swap, but i also did mod code a bit, melee damage is now 4x the base one, which is a lotta slapping force, and almost all of the ingame text got changed

and here are some of the dev pics lol

Broken handz

Asserting dominance

Zniw oc multiplayer support test

Goofy ahh Zniw

#$02 - ANGELA DRESSUP LAST UPDATE (SOON)

I'd like to thank everyone who enjoyed my crappy horny nsfw ass flash game, i am planning on releasing a final updat to it that will add more clothes, more features and such, i've already received a lot of suggetsions to add, but feel free to suggets more stuff to add.

Thanks to everyone who decided to check out my little blog thing, and also thank you if you are followwing me!

Lately thanks to Angela Dresup and Artie's Clocks i've gaine a lot more followers, almost 700, thats a lot!

Have a nice dya yall!

haha, That was a fun pixel day, i hope you had some fun too, and, per my lil tradition, i am gonna show some behindthe scenes and unused stuff

#$00 - GOOBER SQUAD

Here is a list of unused goobers! (or rather old versions of some goobers)

Some of the designs were copied to a separata document to save it in case i need an older version, or when i found older design to be funny (top left one supposed to be HawtDogull lol)

This is a spreadsheet i used for tracking my progress on goober squad, aside from keeping obvisous stuff like is art done or not i also used this list to keep track of artist's @'s, whenever they are a ng user or not and other stuff like picture references to their characters

you can view full art pieces here: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/tscoct/walkin-goober-squad

#$01 - CLOCKS TIME

I wasn't planning on making that animation at first, i was kinda busy in the december of 2022, and i wasn't in the mood to work on anything big, so i slowly was just making the goober squad (it took about 2 months to finish btw, aside from bad mood i also had exams and shid), but a week before pixel day suddenly i got an idea for a small animation based off a meme. It was planned to be 30 seconds long at first lol.

Anyway, here is the final thing, if you havent seen it yet:

While i was trying to optimise the making of that animation, i did not optimise enough, so i have some leftover stuff, which i am gonna show with other behind the scenes stuff

This is an unused preview image for the animation, i rushed it too hard and it end up looking kinda bad tbh, thats why i choose to use a screecap from the animation itself. That particular art also looked the best tbh, so this art got completely left out.

This is what timeline looks in video editor lol, not much to say i guess

That transition scene was actually 3d

And here what the material looks like.

main problem was mapping dynamic prerendered animations to a smoothed out cuboid, but otherwise it was simple and cool looking in the end

(i ran out of image space, so i glued some pics into one)

Anyway, Artie has some unused psrites, the three at the bottom row are the alt talk sprite, that was inteded to display alongside with regular one, like a bruch stroke animtion or something, i dtopped that diea bcs it was taking too long to animate.

Animated Earthbound-like backgrounds are made from different images, one of them is vintage coca-cola ad, lol, other one is a screenshot from Vinesauce Vinny's Corruption streams.

Noise was hand painted, idk why i did that.

#$03 500

WOAH, thanks for subbing! Love yall!

#$04 THIS IS NOT MINE BUUUT....

This animation looks so cool! But i feel like it lacks views a bit, so like, if you havent seen it yet, go and watch it, it's short and sweet.

#$05 END

Anyway, that was a fun pixel day, i did feel like there werent as many movie\ game entries this year as previous, but we still got a ton of cool pixel art and music, hopefully you had fun viewing my or other srtist stuff,

I would like to say thanks to anyone who watched my stuff and to the newgrounds staff for helping with spreading it (Two frontpages on two pieces, wow)

oh, and also, THE ARTIE CLOCKS IS FEATURED AS COLLCETION PREVIEW FOR PIXEL DAY 2023

YIPPIE!

#$00 BEFORE RECAPPING....

the wall of art is done

you will see the unblurred version at the pixelday 2023! (hopefully)

#$01 GAMES MADE THIS YEAR

4 Games! thats a lot for me, especially consindering the fact, that 3 out of 4 are more "serious" projects compared to others, Eat Bean: Another Plane took 6 months to finish, and maybe about 2 years to actually write and think trough.

I am still kinda dissaponted that Zniw pebble game got overlooked, i still consinder it a solid platformer.

#$02 ANIMATIONS MADE THIS YEAR

Didn't make so many animations this year, but these are still pretty good i think, alsdo i've tried using flash again in like 2 years.

Bean trailer turned out pretty nice, i managed to make my own VHS like filter in blender for it, the Zniw parody trailer is not really a trailer, but i still like how it turned out.

#$03 ART THINGS

Since i do not have much to talk about, here are some good arts i'm still proud of, here you can see two versions of Yosh!

Which one is real you ask?

Both. But only one has survived.

I really like how this one turned out, and it seems a lot of people liked it too!

This piece is my peak at painting-like style, i should proably try making more art like this in the future.

This was a disaster to rig, but the end result is pretty nice i guess lol (do not ask me to make her bend her thigns, the rig will break.)

My first attempt at painting (or SPYROTAING haha)

#$04 IN OTHER NEWS...

I Would like to thank @Peti for making me cooler and gifting me a supporter!

I changed my name a bit, so you don't have to shout it anymore!

uhhh, yeah thats about it for project stuff i guess.

See you next year, and, hopefully, i will make somethin cool for the next Dewslog!

Happy New Years eve everyone!
