Posted by CyberneticShotokan - October 16th, 2024


Edit #3: I’m only going to leave this up for a few days. I got a lot of Respect for Newgrounds. But this honestly makes it hard to respect TOS here.


So I recently got a 14 Day Art Portal Ban (My Dumbass, Not Fourteen Days. But Until November 14th), for those pieces of Girl Alucard labeled as “Lolitober”. Now that’s pretty light for going against TOS. And it didn’t really annoy me. But thinking about how often that’s broken and some Famous OG Dirty Toons I saw as a kid here still being up and blatantly breaking that, now I’m pretty annoyed. I Respect Newgrounds a lot but this is pretty Hypocritical.


Edit: Ok so my Himiko Toga Art gets to stay, and ZONE’s Teen Titans Animations gets to stay. But my Girl Alucards can’t because they were labeled Lolitober? Despite the 2nd not even having Nudity?


Love ya Newgrounds, but that’s pretty Bullshit.

iu_1278390_7490733.gifAlrighty let’s get a new Information News Post front and center. Gonna be much like the previous list, just with more Updated Info and some New Additions. Let’s-a Go!


Edgy Art Arc: Fully Kicking Off In Earnest Now. This will be an Annual Thing from now on from September-October. With some exceptions, these Two Months will be dedicated to Celebrating the Creepy. From Small Spooks, Cutesy Creeps, and Despicable Degenerates. Just going all out on Horror and Edge in varying Measures.


The Fog’s Finest. DbD Killer/Survivor Portraits: I’ve started this, but plan to restart it to keep it all on the same or a similar canvas.


Reign of Darkstalkers: An Art Series where I plan to draw both every Playable Character, and every Lore-Relevant Character in the Darkstalkers Series. I’ve begun this Series, but much like The Fog’s Finest I might restart this Series soon. I like that Morrigan Drawing but feel I can give it a better start.


Finishing Art Explosion: I’ve supplemented this with many New, Complete Drawings. But I also plan to take some time out soon to complete WIPs of Previous Years.


Getting Shit in Order: Waiting for a response to get a DMV Appointment, after that (Or Possibly Before) I’m also gonna try to get the Go Ahead to actually start working for Cash (An Insane Ballache To Negotiate As A Disabled Person On Disability). As well as upgrading my Internet for both Livestreaming and uploading any Large Art Project Quickly. After all this I’ll really not have anything getting in the way aside from Unforeseen Bullshitery of getting stuff done without having Life trying to peel my dick.


Extracurricular Creativity: I don’t like being confined by One Tone, Style, or Medium. And have actively been trying to branch out my Tools and Subject Matter more. Things I’d like to do Semi-Regularly are Livestreaming, Voice Work, Animation, Written Work, Music, and pretty much any Creative or Entertainment Medium I have an interest in.


Some Extra Bits & Bobbles: Experience, Learn About, and Write About More Media. Study Languages, Sciences, Cultures, Maths, and Religions. Increase Computer Literacy. Study Currency Conversion for Commissions. Make A VTuber Model. Work On Original Fiction Again. Write Short Stories. Write/Create Horror

I’m also going to be making a Discord sometime this week to make Communication a bit easier. And underneath I’ll post a link to the previous Project List that includes links to other News Posts that should inform you to what I’m about. This Year’s been about getting back on track after the last few of the 2020’s were Hectic as Hell. And aside from setbacks here and there it’s been successful on that front. I’m feeling much better Mentally as well which has helped with productivity immensely. It’s been a Crazy Five Years, Highest Highs and Lowest Lows. But I finally feel like I’m where I should be after 2020 broke my brain. And it feels Good.


Anyway that’s enough outta me, Thanks for Reading if you have. Enjoy yourselves out there, but watch your Ass too.

Edit: This is a Repost made 10 Days later. So here’s some Extra Information.


After this weekend I’ll have nothing major planned until Christmas Time. And I’ve gotten some Important Things settled, so until sometime Next Year I’ll just be going back and forth between working on Art to working on Winter Prep. Along with spending more time away from Creative Work to just kinda spend time with Loved Ones and Exist. I’ve been working my Ass off since 2019 on Art and Real Life stuff. This year has been about getting back on track after 2020 really fucked with my mind for Years. But, with it being Fall now, it’s been more than a Year since I’ve felt a sense of Stability and Peace again. Even with some rough shit happening in my personal life and stuff I’ve seen from the wider world. I’m interested in a lot of Things, Art and Otherwise. So I try to keep up with as many going’s ons as I’m interested in and can stomach. I see people hurting all the time, and hear a lot of people who’ve been hurt. It really, really gets to me at times. But. I do see a lot of Strangers helping eachother out, even trying to talk through difficult things. It’s a Big Part of why I’m interested in VTubing, because as many Dramas as I see in the Sphere of it I also see a Powerful Way to build bridges and connect with Humanity. That’s also a big reason why I’m an Artist. I like Creating for the Sake of it. But I’d also like to make Art that can be Cathartic, Reassuring, or just bring out a Giggle or a Nut. Used to be a Class Clown because I am intimately familiar with Physical and Emotional Pain that will always return, but know it can be overpowered temporarily by the Joys, Understanding, Enchantment, and Empathetic Catharsis Humans can offer eachother. Even Art or Conversation meant to draw out one’s Shadows and Negativity to face it in a controlled, safe manner.


All that to say, despite everything, I am glad I’ve made it to this point. And am close to being the kind of Artist I’ve always wanted. All that’s left is to Improve my Skill, gain more Experience/Knowledge to draw from, and start pulling my weight more Financially for my Loved Ones. And for me. All that nearly being ready to solve sometime Next Year. That. And trying to connect more with Humans. I Love People. But they terrify me. It’s never to a debilitating point, in fact I tend to thrive around Strangers. But it’s smart to always be on guard to an extent. The only problem there being the exhaustion it can bring. Everyone’s Psychological Dials are set differently and subject to change. Adaptability is Key to most things honestly, but Humans especially.


But at this point I’m rambling. I hope to make Art and Experience as much of Life for as long as my body lets me. I’ve got a ton more I want on both fronts. I hope to end this Life having contributed more than I’ve exhausted. But like with my Art, just want to do it for the sake of it. Despite what my mind says at times.


Anyway sorry to get so emotional there. Just had some time to really reflect lately even before the Trip. I don’t really feel like I’m scrambling for purpose anymore, but I’m still not sure how to deal with that. But sometimes training in the Field’s the best of all.


Stay Safe and Enjoy Yourselves Folks

💓🫀💓

Looking upon the Waves and Tide, the Drink and Herb taking me on a gentle ride.


I wonder observing this all with unclouded mind:


“Why’d we forget simple pleasures of this kind?”


Taking these trips to the Ocean nearby my home annually has been very cleansing to my Soul and Psyche, and I understand why it wasn’t possible.


But it’s just…I just don’t understand why we all can’t crack a drink, roll a joint. Help eachother out, and appreciate Life’s Beauty.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not naive, but man Life just feels like a different dimension right now. After a bit of a Talk with my Mom and Sis. I just wish everyone else gets the chance to experience something like this. That and there’s a lotta folks I miss.


Anyway Enjoy Yourselves.


This is the most Hippie-Ass Shit I’ve written on my Art Socials.

Bow Down to the Birthday Boy, Bitches!


🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

🎈🎈🎁🎁🪅🪅🎊🎊🎉🎉🎈🎈

🎹🎹🪗🪗🎸🎸🎸🎸


Actually made it to 25. It’s been a Crazy First Fourth of my Life, part of me thought I wouldn’t make it this far. But I’m glad I have. Now if we get past 27 we’ll really make it.


Today I’ll be just hanging around for the Most Part, both Online and IRL. And Hopefully going to the City to Hangout at various places, maybe even grab some Drinks at a Bar.


But yeah. I’ll be around, but it might take a while to respond. Hope ya’ll have a Good Day.


I’ll write a new, updated schedule to put here at the end of the day. It’ll mostly comprise of previous stuff stated. With some Extra Inclusions I plan to work on.


Posted by CyberneticShotokan - July 16th, 2024


Just writing a quick update for the middle of 2024, how my Plans have shifted and my current mindset on things. Figured this would be a good redux of the 5 Year Anniversary Review as well.


https://cyberneticshotokan.newgrounds.com/news/post/1450709


Sharing the previous News Post, a list of Projects/Plans for the rest of 2024 (And Most Likely Beyond). Nothing has really changed to be honest, except for continuing the Edgy Art Arc probably until after Halloween. Feeling the Spooky Vibes Hard, but the Summer Vibes Hard too. Though I’d be lying if I’d said I was in consistent Good Spirits. From various, harrowing things going on in Fandoms and Industries I Love to the Crazy Stuff going on in my Country. Some days I’ve been just as depressed as I was in my Worst Times during the last few years. Despite all that though, I’m still feeling much better than every other 2020’s Year. Been getting a lot of Important Steps in my Art Journey does. My Artistic Skill has been improving and I’m resharpening my dulled Computer Literacy. Been hanging out in other Creator’s Streams and slowly opening up again like when I first started back in 2019. And getting a lot of Practical Work done in my Everyday Life. I feel like people are getting equally getting Kinder and Crueler as well as Smarter and Stupider in equal measure. But I am not blind to how bleak things are at the moment. So I’m currently just doing my best to prepare for whatever while getting stuff done and not Overwork my Mind and Body. Luckily even if it’s messed with what I thought my Schedule would be this year all the Prep Work’s been nearly completed. There’s only a few more things I need to do, Practically and for Creative Work. Then I can focus on actually getting Work done much more. I’d like to have my Finances fully figured out before setting up Commissions and finding Part-Time Work. I get Disability, and while I’m free to utilize it more than I thought I mainly use it for Necessities and Bills with exceptions here and there. I really want to Work, and finding Part Time is also a bit easier than I thought. But I need to be careful with earnings. Which is why I haven’t jumped to Comms/YouTube/etc yet. I would also like to start Streaming this year. But I want/need to Upgrade some of my Tech and make Assets. Taking more Time to just Relax too which has been helping. My Main Art Sites are Newgrounds, Twitter, and DeviantArt. With Substack for Written Work. I spend a lot of Time on Twitter, but I’m going to balance my Time and each better like I’ve been meaning to. And for here in particular I’m going to actually start voting for Stuff of the Month. For as much Respect is thrown on it’s name I still believe Newgrounds is Highly Underrated/Undervalued in the Internet. I’m trying to get back into exploring more of the Peripheral Web as well. And catching up not only on Old Media but a lot of Newer Stuff I’ve missed as well.


Anyway to wrap this up, Stay Safe out there Folks. It’s getting Crazy. But people are still worthwhile so try to get out and enjoy yourselves when possible. Be Mindful but Have Fun.


Sincerely, Devilman Shotokan.

Five Years! Five Incredible, Terrible, Long and Short Years!


iu_1216783_7490733.png


This probably won’t be as long as the others, but I’ll add links to them and some other News Posts I feel are worth putting here for comparison. But this year has been the actual Turnaround I kept thinking other times were in the past. Not only have I been much more productive both in my Art and Everyday Life. Not just busy but productive. But I’ve felt “Alright” for the first time in a Long Time. The 2020’s have been the Best and Worst years of my Life. I’ve had a lot of Fun, a lot of Anger, and a lot of Heartache in these 5 years. I feel at a more stable version of my Teenage Mindset, which is usually a Good Thing getting towards 25 years old. Been making friends, reconnecting with Old Friends IRL. Getting things I thought would take ages done very fast. And have been learning to enjoy Life and People again despite this year especially having the potential to be just as bad if not worse than the Low Points in 2021-2023.


The Internet has changed a lot in this Time, such as the World. But at the same time things haven’t really. It just feels Hyper-Accelerated nowadays. I’ve learned just how Kind people can be as well as just how Evil. I’ve always been a blend of Hypersexual Edgelord and Hypersensitive Bleeding Heart. And I’ve been using my Art to explore that dichotomy. I’m a guy who went through some of the Worst Shit one can go through before I was even 18. Losing Loved Ones, Suffering A Disease That Can Be As Invisible As It Can Devastating, Having A Series Of Strokes And Seizures In 2015, Being Sexually Abused Very Young, And Trying Not To Ignore How Scary The World Is Without Drowning In It. In 2019 the Allegations against Vic Mignogna (Which To My Knowledge Are False) got me scared to work in the Dub Industry. Then in 2020 so much shit happened that nearly killed me quite honestly. The Smash Scandals. The Skullgirls Scandals. Activision Blizzard. The EVO guy. The George Floyd Murder. The Riots. COVID. And my Final Grandfather dying.


It was all almost too much.


Since then, I’ve been up and down, Emotionally Volatile and Exhausted, and Isolative. But I’ve also tried my Best not to remain stagnant. Especially since I got a new house (Trailer) in 2020 as well. Been working my Ass off damn near Everyday since. I already had been since I dropped out of High School but I spent much more time alone and working. But it gave me an opportunity to plan for the Future as I spent more time actually participating in the Internet.


My Goals as an Artist are pretty simple in concept, increasingly complicated in Execution. I want to make whatever Art I want to make, share my Thoughts on others, and potentially help people out with their Lives if I can. Whether it’s exploration of Serious Topics. Catharsis through Art. Or just talking about and comparing Experiences. Even just making someone Smile makes the World a little bit better. And making a Living on my own terms sounds nice as well.


I’ve met and talked to so many people in these Years. Made some new friends. Starting cultivating a Following. And have been learning a lot about Humanity. I wish I could remember it all. And I’m sorry if I’ve ever made you feel Ignored. All this on top of Studying various subjects as well as dealing with the Worst Depression I’ve felt has made it all feel like One Long, Blurry Year.


Which is why I’m taking more time nowadays to just have Fun and get things done. I also want to spend more time on my Art Socials and Across the Web in general, as well as IRL. Reconnecting, meeting new people, gaining as many Experiences as possible. I’ve pretty much got the next Decade+ planned out, and most Goals I want to achieve set. It’s just a matter of getting them done while staying Healthy.


It’s been a Wild Ride. Unbareable at times. But I’m glad I’ve had it. I Hope to keep doing what I do but better until my body finally gives out on me. I wish ya Luck on your Journey, Reader. Hope you wish me Luck on mine.


P.S: Some of my recollection of events is muddied since I was handling so much shit. And I didn’t spend too much time really pouring over my presence Online this year before writing. Was also way too critical of myself at times in those Early Posts. It’s sad seeing how much of a Cycle I was caught in but at the same time that Early Enthusiasm is nice to see. Nice to know I’m feeling more Stable than I did before I even started this Journey nowadays. I was legitimately losing it at times, but Summer of Last Year felt like a Big Turning Point. I feel a Good Blend of Happiness, Cynicism, Drive, Caution, and Enthusiasm again. Feel like I did before I dropped out of School, except more Experienced and at Peace. Still got a lot to do, but I’ve been having days where I can truly Relax for the First Time in a Very Long Time. And I feel like it shows in both my Output and Presence this Year.

Well here we are, One Day to Five Years.


It’s been a Great Learning Experience. And even in the Worst Years I’ve had some Great Times. No substitute for IRL interaction, but I feel I’ve learned a lot about Humanity in that Time. And have comfortably settled into my “Role” here. From this point on I’m taking a lot more Focus on getting various Projects complete, including those outside of Illustration. And spending more Time just chatting with people and appraising their work. Blending the Best of the “Old Days” w/ the Good and Bad learned in this Time.


Now that I have all the Art Socials I want for the time being as well, I’m trying to spread my Activity on each evenly. I want to Start Streaming this year as well, hopefully with some sort of Model for my Avatar but I’m ok with VO-Only. Anyway to wrap this up, Thanks to all who’ve stuck through my Bullshit at times. Especially on Twitter where I’ve used it as a venting tool a lot. I’ve been shown a lot more Kindness and Appreciation in these Five Years than Imagined. It’s all helped me out a lot this Decade.


Even if I don’t remember due to just how Crazy the 2020’s have been in every sense of the Word. In a Time where my Mental felt in Constant Flux every Nice Interaction helped in the moment and was Very Pleasant. Especially helped when my opinions of Humanity was getting Low.

Once I get a lot of the Big Stuff I Want/Need to do this year done I’ll likely start getting ready to stream. I’d like to get Semi-Decent Equipment First, and have been making Studio Space along with Rearranging my entire Second Floor these past few years. Honestly just really been setting up for the Rest of my Life, Creative and Personal. I’d like to help my parents achieve their Dream of having a Log Cabin, to start traveling when COVID isn’t as Scary, and be as Self Sufficient as I possibly can while still having Fun.


Once I set up various streaming accounts, and figure out ways to get paid I’m comfortable with for my Work; whether Art or Entertainment, which feels Rude to Distinguish but you know what I mean, I’ll be able to have a more Consistent Flow.


I want to work for my Meals, pay for things I like or causes I believe in, support my Loved Ones, and Experience as much as possible with what I got. Don’t worry I’m not saying this all because I’m upset, quite the opposite actually. Just kinda looking back and thinking ahead. Honestly this post was just meant to talk about what I’m planning for after the Art Explosion. In that regard just a steadier, more varied Workflow after getting that and making various Art Pages done. Making sure I’m paying decent attention to ‘em all will be Important too.


Which will be much much easier using a Phone and Computer in Conjunction again. I’m planning to Learn blender, RPG Maker, Source Filmmaker, and more as well. Also playing Instruments/Making Music again as well. Just basically playing around with Tools I have and haven’t as a Kid.
