Yea it's coming along nicely

This gon be the first fight ever to become 1 trillion

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AWESOME SAUCE

I'LL FINISH IT LATER

Welcome to the AWESOME Mid-Month (Kinda) Summary!

Imma just talk about the stuff I made this month, and where I plan on going from here lol

(I'm not gonna cover EVERYTHING, though. Just the stuff I'm most proud of.)

I gotta say, this month's been going really well so far! Not just in my personal life, but I've also been a lot more proud of the things I made this month!

First off, I first made The Guy around mid-August. I decided to actually redraw him again and really like the way I did the shading this time around. I think it looks a lot better, and I may keep it for illustrations only.

Oh yeah. I made this gif featuring the cast from an animation I'm calling cubicles. Idk when it's gonna come out since I'm working on these small gifs as "practices" of sorts to prepare me for the basic parts of the animation process. I'm really proud that I was able to get all five votes that featured characters that I created on my own, and not just me making fanart of stuff I like, even if I enjoy making those too.

Oh, yeah! I also made it a whole-ass year on Newgrounds. I talked about more on that in the og post

, so check it out there.

Uploaded this one recently. I'm honestly really proud of it. I really love Sublo and Tangy Mustard, so I thought I'd make this to practice head turns and body movements. Also please watch Sublo and Tangy Mustard.

Overall, I'm happy with what I got out this month! 6 art posts in half a month, with most of them animated. Definitely beats the 5 I slowly pushed out last month.

Small Changes:

I redrew my banner a bit ago and finally decided to use it. I prefer it to the older one since it uses characters that all look drastically different.

From left to right: Sammy, 94, Riggs, & Mike.

The Fragile Four, if you will.

The old one was just a redraw of the NG logo featuring the Rigg Kids. It was fine, but I didn't really like how it was just a redrawing, which is why I never posted it. But it does appear on the "Everything Else" Playlist.

From Left to Right: Riggy, Riggs, and Riggette.

Future Plans:

• Finish reboarding Cubicles
• Practice Walk Cycles
• Practice Looping

Alright I'm done lol

(The Unfinished Animations will be posted by the end of Febuary.)

Alright gubye

Wanted to share these before the month ends. Here are some of the animations I started on but never got around to finishing!

Winter Stuff: 1/4/22

So, about this one. I was actually planning on finishing this thing. I even made refs for it. However, I decided to start this one right as winter break was coming to an end (not a good idea). That, and the fact that I generally didn't like the way it was turning out, this little gif got scrapped. Luckily, however, it didn't die in vain. I repurposed it into this drawing, so it kinda got a happy ending.

I may redo it but in the meantime, sayonara, Winter Stuff... May we meet another day....

Riggette Test: 1/16/22

Simple Test animation using Riggette. Decided not to finish this one because I really didn't know if it would be all that enjoyable to watch

We bid you farewell...

Sibling Bonding: 1/17/22

I made this one shortly after the Riggette test, now featuring Riggy! I also planned on finishing it, but I didn't really like the way this one looked either, so I threw it out.

Goodbye Sibling Bonding... may you be remembered as a hero...

Groovie: 1/22/22

I was experimenting with animating the Cubicles. Forgot about this one halfway through production, and I never revisited it since. However, there is a chance I may go back and get it done.

For now though, goodbye you guys. You will be remembered for your sick dance moves.

Summary:

I'm lazy as hell lmao.

Alright, probably should've made something like this earlier, but I'm hoping to make 2022 one hell of a year when it comes to my content output. I wanna make some good stuff.

This is more of a summary of how last year went, and what I plan to get done this year.

(Consider this an expanded version of this news post.)

2021 Shiz:

Last year, I finally worked up the courage to make a Newgrounds account. Of course, 14 year old me was kinda goofy for doing that, since I had nothing to post. Most of my drawings at the time were just the silly doodles that I made in my sketchbook. So,

However, that summer, I'd get a drawing tablet, and I'd start drawing digitally. Before that, I was using my finger on my phone screen to draw, so this was definitely a welcome replacement. But even with the tablet, my art's still definitely rough around the edges.

Looking back at last year, I was able to get 16 art pieces out right before the year ended. My first piece that year was Madness Rigging. It's a pretty meh drawing all things considered and an even more mediocre Madness Day drawing. Don't get me wrong, I don't despise it. In fact, I remember being ecstatic when I first saw it hit 50 views, especially considering the fact that I wasn't even scouted in the art portal. Along with that, I'm glad I got to introduce my characters, the Rigg-kids in it as well. Nevertheless, there was room for improvement.

After that, I made a drawing featuring a couple of characters from my unrealized idea known as Cubicles. Afterward, I made a Halloween drawing, an Eddsworld portrait, and a minimally animated gif. I also did the Newgrounds character meme, which actually got me my first favorite, so that's definitely another high point. However, things really began to pick up steam when I made my Rumble Reveal contest submission. Not only was that my first submission to actually be fully voted on, but it's my highest viewed submission as of now! Not to mention, I also ended up getting scouted by @picolocity366, who's help provide a lot of support during this last month. Along with that, my Peter the Ant Day submission went alright too. I believe I could've done better tbh, so that's definitely an event I'm looking forward to this year.

The year ended off with my animation practice of Doraemon. I'm proud of it. Again, it could be way better, but It's still pretty good practice for a medium I'm trying to learn about.

Overall, not a bad start I suppose!

Now, that's last year done. But what about my plans for THIS year?

2022 Shiz:

Alright, so 2022's started off pretty sweet too. Outside of the renewed hope I have, along with the motivation to keep building on top of my skills, I'd say this year's gonna be a bright one.

I'm honestly pretty content with how my Alien Hominid piece turned out. Not a too shabby start off to the new year!

Right now, I'm working on another submission to the art portal. It's another basic gif, but here's the rough animation because why not.

Definitely planning on getting more animated this year. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to join this community in the first place, animation is just rad, man.

Pixel day's right around the corner, too! Probably not gonna make a whole-ass game, but I may do another gif.

For Pico day, I'll probably just stick to a still image. Considering the fact that I wanna do Newgrounds character group drawing, my skills are not at all where they need to animate it. Then again, there's about five months 'til the big day, so who knows what crazy things I'll learn in that time.

For Peter the ant Day, however, I might animate something. It depends on how much time I put into a project like that.

I also wanna make Cubicles, or Riggs into an actual "episode". Y'know, the kind with voices and writing and all that other stuff. However, a project like that takes a lot of time, work, and devotion. Oh, and help. Help is also very important. Considering the fact that school's gonna be eating up a lot of my time, that may end up being pushed back for a very long time.

Oh, and I'm gonna be putting more time into learning different art techniques. Lineless art is something I definitely wanna try sometime in the future!

Final Things:

I just wanted to give one last thank you to this wonderful community of artists, animators, musicians, game designers, and many more for making this really feel like a wonderful place to be. You rarely find any communities that burst with this much creativity, ambition, teamwork, and general well-being. I may be new to this place, but I'm definitely gonna make the most out of my time here. Thank you, Newgrounds.

With the first day of 2022 coming to an end, I took a bit of time to reflect upon last year. I've gotta say, it was definitely a mixed bag. Won't go into any of my real-life events, but I'm glad that I'm here to see another year. Last year in February, I started my Newgrounds account, (albeit, I didn't really post anything until Madness Day, heh), and finally started to post art here. I actually acquired a drawing tablet this year back in June, so that was helped me leap into this medium a bit better. It was a lot of fun participating in Madness Day, the Rumble Reveal contest, and Peter the Ant Day. Hopefully, I can learn pixel art in time for Pixel Day this year, and I definitely wanna do something for Pico Day. I also owe a thank you to everyone who followed me this year. I know my art isn't the best, so I'm grateful that you guys believe in me enough to give me a follow. Along with that, I owe a thank you to picolocity366 for scouting me into the art portal! That really helped boost my confidence to continue making and improving on my art! What are you waiting for? Go give them a follow, if you haven't already! As for next year, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I don't wanna say I have a huge project in the works in case it doesn't get done, but maybe this is the year it comes into fruition.

Well, that's about it from me. I can't wait to see what this year has in store!
