(Edited 'Cause One Part Came Off As Pretty Rude When I Didn't Mean That At All Here) So I'm currently Busy with some Christmas Projects and two more Pieces for this Year, one Christmas-Related the other not. But it's been Nice getting my Art Shit going in Earnest, as well as Interacting with some New and Old Faces. Honestly that's One of the Biggest Benefits I get outta this Newgrounds thing. I Really Love talking to People, and that's only Bolstered when Art's the Subject. I've spent a Lot of Time Studying and Practicing my Arts/Mediums, and while I've got Family and Friends IRL who I Love Dearly; I've been Dying to get out and meet People. That's One of the Best Things 'bout Life, as Corny as it is to Say; seeing all the Different Flavors Humanity Comes In. However, as I've written before in Previous News Posts; that Desire to share Interactions with Fellow Artists around the World started becoming Corrupted into an Easy Form of Praise and Escapism (By Easy Praise, I Meant That I Know A Lot Of Artists Who I Feel Put More Creative Work In Than I Do, I'm Sorry If That Sounded Conceited) Now by that I'm not saying I don't appreciate all the Kindness showed to me or that it was "Easy to Impress 'Em" or anything Douchey like that. But I was spending Way Too Much Time Writing Comments instead of actually proving Worthy of the Attention. So when Life started demanding more of my Time and Mental Health, I knew if I continued at that Rate I'd become nothing but a Nuisance. In Fact, if anyone has a Problem with me or feels like I'm getting Too Close please feel free to Message Me. I'm Only Looking for Fun and Artistic Knowledge/Fulfillment on here. I'm afraid I may have Driven some away from the Site and even Art in General with my Antics back then, especially considering my Mental Health was Strained from Tragedy within my Life and in the World at Large. All of this is to say that I'm hoping this is the Start of a Healthier Relationship with my Work Life and this Site in general. I'm just another Artist Hungry for Interaction and Personal Growth with others. I've got Plans but at the End of the Day I'm just looking to have Fun, Learn Stuff, and maybe even provide for me and mine through my Abilities as an Artist someday. And after seeing how truly Vile the Industries surrounding the Mediums I Love are shaping out to be, even just on a Surface Level; Newgrounds is the Best Place for a lot of Us. So with All of That outta the way, allow me to Share My Plans for 2022 with you.
- At Least Two Pieces Of Art Uploaded Each Month
- More Fully-Colored Pieces
- Reviews Of Media I've Consumed
- More Graphic, Edgy Art
- (If Everything Goes To Plan) Animation!?
- Personal Review Commissions
- Artist Recommendations
I need to start getting this Page adourned with my Work. So starting Next Month, I'ma try to get Two Complete Works uploaded each month. I could probably Strive for more but I'm trying not to make Too Big of Promises. I'm also gonna make sure at least One per Month is Fully Colored too. On top of that, I'm gonna be letting my Darker Interests flourish a bit more in my Work so Be Warned. Though for most who'll read this that won't be an Issue. I'm also gonna be practicing my Writing, both Analytical and Creative, a lot again. So as an Extra Incentive to Motivate me I'm gonna do Dedicated Reviews on pieces again; and once I feel like I've Earned It I'll offer my Services as a Reviewer as Paid Commissions. But honestly don't expect me to ask about Commissions for a Good While. However I follow a LOT of Creatives, so I'd like to write Recommendations on 'em to Pay Forward the Kindness shown to me; from Up and Comers to Well Respected Giants, anyone I'm Interested In is On the Table unless they Object. Especially with a lot of You out there it'll give me a Chance to Familiarize myself with Artists more and in turn learn more about Humanity. Plus, maybe this'll lead to some Interesting Conversation from myself and the Interviewed. Which yes, I will ask anyone I'm Working On if they want Input on the Project. Though I'll have to Consider this one for a bit before I start that. And finally I'd really like to Start Animating again, but I'm gonna need Time to get the Tools again. And a Program that'll actually let me Upload for Free unlike my Last One. Hopefully that'll be Settled Sooner rather than Later.
Aaaaaaand that'll do it for this News Post. I'd like to Finish This by saying Thanks for the Hospitality Newgrounds. I'm Hoping that the Revival I knew was gonna Happen keeps on Trucking, and that this Beautiful Goddamn Website Sticks Around Forever. Seriously people at Newgrounds HQ, Ascend to Cybernetic Bodies and become the Immortal Keepers of Everything by Everyone you're all meant to be. It's Great to be Back in Action!
