Hey! Wow, it's been longer than a long while. I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, but I'm especially sorry for, once again, disappearing for this long, and once again, unannounced. A combo of college, focus on a personal project, and gaining self-doubt has taken up too much of my time and creativity, though that may just be an excuse for my laziness and lack of self-discipline lol
I can't promise any new content for now, but I'm still an artist. I'll upload the very few pieces of art that I was able to create. That personal project of mine isn't even too "presentable" right now (and i'll still need to take a while with it); it'll just be a mod for the indie game Death Road to Canada (and given how fairly small the playerbase of that game is, there probably won't even be that many people that'd get to play with my mod in the end lmao, but i've sunk in way too much time on this project, i can't give up now.... say, wasn't there a term for situations like this? 🥹)
I'm looking to come back to becoming active on my socials though! Seems like something very bad happened on Twitter that caused a lot of artists to migrate or at least become a lot more active over on Bluesky lmao, so Twitter might be pretty bad to come back to for my art journey. I don't know if I'll be able to consistently put out my art for now (November's looking to be a really busy month for me), but I did very much miss supporting fellow artists and users all around me,,,,,,,,, like YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!??????? *pointing at you*
But yeah, thank you for reading! I've still been keeping up a bit with Newgrounds during my break. I hope you've had a great Halloween! <3
Hey hey, good morning to the west! Let's keep on doing our best, yeah?
Here's a sneaky peeky at my next piece! I had so much fun doing that piece I did for Pico Day 2024 that I still have the urge to try another big piece! For this next one I'm especially focusing more on texturing and environmental storytelling. Being able to tell stories with surroundings alone is just another one of the many fascinating things that can be depicted through art, so I've been having a lot of fun so far :D <3
Doing or done anything recently? How are you? Hopefully you're still kickin'!
In the meantime, here's a scrapped frame for the Friday Night Funkin' part of my piece! Initially, Boyfriend had a couple of frames where he'd mess up on some notes. It was ultimately scrapped for a smoother animation loop.
And here's an earlier look at what the piece was like just a couple of days ago! The piece was originally going to only have Captain alone on the road, but I figured I should include everything by everyone as that's what Newgrounds is all about <3 (also because the piece looks way too empty with just Captain there lmao)
Alright that's it for realsies! Once again, Happy Pico Day 2024! Now get out there as it's PICO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Work is in progress! Mery experiences all sorts of emotions, from feeling Flustered, Realism, Shock, to Remembering You're Genocides! And these are just some of them!
What about you, how are you feeling today? Hopefully well! <3
NO, YOUR EYES AND EARS AND NOSE ARE NOT DECEIVING YOU. LONG OVERDUE WAMYREMY UPDATE
<3
HEY HEY! Now I knoww I knoww it's been a few minutes since my last art post here :333 But no seriously, I suppose you'd have assumed this already, but just to confirm it publicly, I'm currently on a break from posting my work. School and personal circumstances have held me back from working on my own things. I've still yet to fully return, but I wanted to at least let you know that I'm doing better now, and am looking into when I can come back to being more active here <3
In the meantime, I have been drawing a bit on my own, though they've mostly been IRL sketches/doodles and practicing. Here, hope these figures and designs I did for practice are enough for now <3
Also, support other awesome artists here on Newgrounds for me! @KittyhawkMontrose, @Onimiere, and @analworm18 are ffffffreaking sweet recommendations of mine, and here's their most recent works!!!!! They make some really cool stuff :DDDD
If you have anything you want to tell or ask me, go ahead and do so, here or in PMs <3
Thank you for keeping up with me and my work! I'm honestly surprised to have been gaining Fans these past couple of months despite not having posted anything lmao (and I'm so blessed to have you here <3). Thank you for reading my update, have a WAMY day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey! Hey! I just uploaded a channel trailer over on my YouTube space, going a bit into detail over what sorta content I'll be doin' for the channel! Give it a watch!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDD <33333
Expect some content over there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, eventually :3 Not promising that I'll be consistent nor will I be quick on uploading haha, this short trailer's already taken me over two weeks to make lmfao. But I hope you'll like what I have planned in the future! <3 Make sure to SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL AND RING THE BELL AND WATCH, SHARE, COMMENT GOOD THINGS, AND LIKE EVERY VIDEO AND SHORT THAT I'VE UPLOADED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What I've Been Up To
Hey hey! Hope you've been doing better. Being briefly honest for a bit, this year has just been absolute BUTTS (like in a BAD way). PRETTY BAD stuff has just been hittin' me hard left and right and down-left and to and fro! My schedule with school became packed, I lost a good friend, and worst of all, I HAD TO BACK OUT OF A COLLAB THAT I'VE BEEN WANTING TO WORK IN FOR SO LONG :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
But yeah, I just wanted to explain why things have been a little quieter on my end! My apologies if you feel that the content has been inconsistent/slow, I promise that I'm trying!
Anyway, with all that stuff out of the way, listen yeah: I'm planning for big things to be done! You may have already gotten that with the stuff being uploaded on my YouTube channel, as well as with the more experimental pieces that I've been doing recently, but I'm looking into making bigger moves to get my name out there further!
Currently, it's three things:
One: I'm planning to open sprite commissions! - Still will be working on my guidelines and all that, but yes! Soon, you will be able to commission me for character sprites like these!
I'll be uploading more sprites eventually, to show you even more of the range of what I'm able to do! With that, I hope you'll consider getting a piece or two from yours truly! <3
Two: I will be cleaning up my Ko-fi page, start being active on there more, as well as set up a little shop! - Although I've had my Ko-fi page up for a long while now, it's rather barren and inactive. Hence why in the coming days, I'll be more active on there, touch up my page, and as I've said, set up some stuff for sale!!! No, not commissions, but digital goods like wallpapers, custom spritesheets, and more!!! I'm still working on what I would be selling, but if you have any suggestions, please share them with me, I'd appreciate it lots! I believe that this should help in getting the page into those who'd be able to support me directly. But of course, every other form of your support is just as equally appreciated! <3
And with the most interesting plans out of the way, we already know that I'm planning to upload more content on my YouTube channel haha
Let's hope that I'll actually go through with all of this and not just become inactive for a period of time again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Closing Thoughts (and Recap on what I've done so far in the year!)
I know I keep saying it, but seriously, thank you for sticking with me, and for liking my work. <3
I really have been trying to be more active on my socials, especially here on Newgrounds! And so far, I believe I've been doing that pretty well!
I've posted 16 pieces to the Art portal this year alone, already being equal to the amount of pieces I've posted on 2023, which was 16!
I'm not really one for follower milestones, but I am very fortunate to have achieved over 420 Fans here on Newgrounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Along with over 300 Subscribers on YouTube and over 180 Followers on Twitter!
I feel quite proud to have done all this within the first two months of the year, and I do not want to stop anytime soon!
For the 135901698609th, thank you <3 And also thank you for reading the entirety of this news post!!! :DDDDDD <333333 Have a WAMY day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey hey! I'm currently working on my next piece, and I'm excited for you to see it once it's done! It will be dedicated to the artists I love and inspire me lots!!!
Hey hey! I know this seems pretty random of me to bring up, but I thought I'd let you know just how thankful I am for you to like my work! I know things are a little quiet right now, but I promise that I'll be able to make something wonderful, and I'm happy that you'd stick around :>
