Oops almost forgot to post, this haha. I'm a day late sorryyy. Wrote some parts of this blog in school and I'm ngl it's not preferable, buuut I don't have any other options, so here we go. 

First thing I wanna talk about are the promises I made last year. Which includes;

1. Talking in forums

2. Voice acting 

3. Y2k art

Yeah... I did none of that. I don't know why. I think I just lost motivation throughout the year and wanted to do something else. The more time passed, the less I had aspiration to do them. Not that i wont EVER do smth like voice acting, but probably not rn. I sorta accepted my fate as a filthy filthy youtuber (or a programmer idk)

On the bright side, I've been using the site a lot more over the past year. Checking out the front page and seeing all the cool art that people is awesome. Some of my favorite artists I've found are from Newgrounds, and most of them I definitely wouldn't have found on any other sites.

The YouTube Side of Things 

I would bet a lotta money that most of you found me on my youtube. I made 3 videos since my last post, and people seem to enjoy them. While editing i always think about how shit the video is, but after reading the comments and giving the video some time to breath i do come back into liking the video. My best work is probably the week 8 speculation video, although modding before whitty is also pretty good.

Youtube motivation just kinda swings every other month or so, sometimes I'm REALLY feeling it, and some other times I'd rather do something else. I still have a lot of video ideas, don't worry!! And I'm sure some of you will enjoy them. 1 video every 4 months is a pretty pathetic upload schedule though, i hope i can fix that.

Other things I did 

Aside from youtube, I've been making visualizers in after effects. After watching the erect sampler, I was inspired to make my own. My first attempt at making a viz in the style of the erect sampler was this. 

Looking back, there are a lot of mistakes in this viz, don't know if you can spot them all, but to me they're very apparent. Even with the subpar execution, I'm still quite proud of this viz. Because of my video of it on twitter, I got contacted by Solaris to help on the Funkin Sound Project. An fnf project where they make fake hypothetical fnf songs. Joining the project was a new experience to say the least, I was shy to ask questions and was way too scared to talk to the people there. Though it was a nice experience overall, and I made 4 visualizers for them, which you can watch right here. 

Sometime later, I got contacted by Krimzon to work on Doyliah, a project actually very similar to Funkin Sound Project, in which they both make fake fnf songs based on future content. Met and talked to a lot of cool people, and I'm still helping on Doyliah stuff to this day. Working on it has been such a fun ride, and I hope I can see it until the very end. 

Don't know how to fit some of the miscellaneous viz I did, so here's a playlist for both of them, here and here. Mahdi and the Funkcon were very fun to work with (I definitely didn't feel like ending it all when I was editing the Funkcon interviews)

I also did some singing since my last blog post, have been taking vocal lessons since December, and I've realized that I REALLY like singing. There's no video online, but soon maybe. 

The Future 

Unlike last year, I won't make promises that I can't keep, instead, I'll give some notes on what I'll definitely be doing. I will, of course, continue making videos and help friends on visualizers. I enjoy making both of those things, so why would I stop. And I'll do some shit like programming, designing, and singing. One last thing, I WANT to make a website, but it's really hard to get the motivation to, I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

The End

Thanks for reading! Wow, this is way longer than I expected. It turned more into my creative journey in 2024 and 2025 rather than a Newgrounds-centric blog post, I hope you enjoyed it either way though. I love the site and wish I could contribute, but seeing people's art is good enough for me :)

P.S. sorta rushed the end section I wanna sleep badly okay

1 year on Newgrounds

Isn't it crazy how fast time flies by? Man... i kinda remember the day I hopped onto this website to see fnf because I'm a zoomer of course. I have a lot of memories of watching multiple videos about flash games (henry stickmin, salad fingers) and one video by blueshade in particular that I vaguely remember. Nothing popped out to me until I see hank motherfucking wimbleton, when I see that guy I instantly remembered that video for some reason. And like a bunch of other fnf fans, I got pretty obsessed w/ newgrounds shit, especially w/ the iconic characters.

I don't know how long it took me to have the motivation to make an account, I think it was a couple of days before I actually made it. After going through the process tho, I didn't know what to do. I'm not an artist, programmer, or musician of any kind so I felt lost. This was until @MasterHand444 commented nice shit and guided me that made me think you know maybe it's worth it to fuck around and use Newgrounds.

As you can see tho 1 year later I still haven't really used Newgrounds yet. I dabbled with Art of the Month posts but I just stopped and never looked back. I dunno it didn't motivate me that much, but I do have a semi-good plan for the future that might actually happen maybe hopefully.

The Future

So first of all of course I'll continue to do reviews and maybe talk in forums (@rizumuplus said that's the best thing to do to know more people so I can try it lololol). The second thing is to upload voice acting shit, I'm not the greatest but if I get people to criticize and shit on me that might push me to have the motivation to improve at that stuff (thanks

@samaadbae5 for the inspiration). The third and final thing is to post real art, again I've kinda done this in the past but recently I got really into y2k designs and iconography, while it's not allowed to post your graphic designs on the art portal (I think) if I improved enough on drawing I can probably convincingly draw something in that style.

Thanks for reading the whole way through, another thing I might do is thumbnail breakdown when a new video drops but that's a small thing. Anyways, before I end this off I also wanna shoutout @NewGrounderInfinite, @whizchis, and @Wallpaper0 for following for whatever fucking reason it makes the number go up which makes me a better person (fr tho thanks to wallpaper specifically nice guy).

I haven't really used ng that much. Ya know sometimes I comment or review here and there. But I haven't actually used it like a normal person, like posting art or music. So i think the plan rn is to post a collage of all my art for the month, maybe i post specific ones i'm proud of, tho that probably will be uncommon since i only started to draw a couple of months ago. It also doesn't help i'm drawing with a mouse so.... Anyways thanks to whoever reading this (4 followers lol) and see ya for the first art post saturday or sunday we'll see.

Oh also I wanna make a neocities website soon, i'll probably make a separate post when that's done.

I guess I need to credit this thumbnail is made by @NewRockstars and the movie was made by Marvel

Gotta Start Somewhere
