Alrighty, here it goes--------

October

After years of holding out I've finally joined Newgrounds on Halloween.

Within the same day I posted my first video.

With school in the way I never actually completed it, but I'm quite proud of it. I played around in blender and I learned new techniques and dealt with so many pc crashes.

November

I made my first art post on the the 6th

Afterwards I've made some other art posts here and there and played a fuck-ton of itazura madness and made some fan art of yeremey :3

Got scouted by @SpitTheSauce (tysm btw <3)

my favorite art post

December

I won an art tablet from the great giveaway this month, which I am ever grateful for.

Started posting more frequently in the blog post area.

Started to reach out to collabs and was featured in YIIKmas!

Pushed myself out of my comfort zone with trying out for the NG's Voice Collab

Submitted something for the streamers animation collab (I lost but some cool ass folks won!)

Got accepted in the FLCL re-animated collab (expect to see my shots next year)

Joined a game dev group (see my last post about it and how to join) and a Steven Universe zine.

Participated in this year's secret santa and drew @gojie 's OC. Check out their art, it looks really good!

Made a Christmas shitpost

And a whole lot more

The Cheesy Stuffᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Joining newgrounds was probably one of the best things I did this year. I've met a lot of people, made a couple of friends, and pushed myself to do more art related things. I definitely want to post more and collaborate with the community here. Aside from that, there hasn't been quite a platform that was so inviting and helpful as this one here. I'm not the biggest fan or user of social media and even the simplest sites foster some of the worst stuff (you already know the ones). As I sit here writing this I can't help but to think how interesting and hectic this year was. I've met some really interesting people and pushed forward a project I had been working for years on, take one step forward in the right direction. I learned new things and opened my eyes to the world a little more and saw not so great things but hey, that's life. A lot of emotions were felt and my mental health went haywire for a bit. In all honesty as happy as some things seemed, I felt really depressed. It was hard to wake up in the mornings and live sometimes, the task of getting a meal or drawing a picture was daunting. Seeing the art on this site amongst other things picked up my spirits and made me live a little more. I sat down and tried to lean how to use blender resulting in my first render ever (which for some reason I can't find a picture of [it's a vaccine bottle]) and a little logo animation.

I started to learn how to clean up my renders and made an ashtray

I played with the grease pencil tool a bit more and integrated my modeling with my 2d animation.

I tried to find a reason to keep on going, to keep waking up, to keep me alive.

I was mod for my friend rp server and played out some fun scenes full of drama and action. I played around with some photography and filmmaking. Sat around and binged some French New Wave films, Blaxploitation flics (because they're fun as hell and I'd love to make one day), and other little things.

I realized that I actually have a reason for being alive and what I wanted to do. I found some things that I love and pursued the hell out of them. I made a short film, I animated and drew, I did shit and got shit done.

Enough of my little tirade... all I have to say is that I can't wait to see what the new year brings. Challenges and all.

Signing out for the last time of 2021

P.S. keep your eyes peeled for new projects n' stuff that will come out soon and sorry for my trash grammar and spelling-

also uh skullgirls is $5 in the steam store rn so I'd get it now if I was you :3
