heyyyyyy! guess who just got locked out of their go-to 2D drawing and animation program!

yeah so today this afternoon i opened up flash to do something real quick and after several years of using this program no problem, this thing popped up before i could do anything

i think adobe being adobe might've borked serial numbers for older versions of flash or something, cause i tried a different serial number and it still didn't work

i'll... update you guys on this once i get this sorted out.

HI,

sorry for the lack of anything, really, been busy doing other stuff and totally not procrastinating, but I do have a few new things I have to share

NEW SOCIALS?!

Yep. Twitter is dead. Instagram is dead (to me.) and I found a couple more socials to projectile vomit my stuff on.

BLUESKY:

JPiXeLAir--now boarding! ✈️

MASTODON:

for those who forgot their boarding passes

I kinda needed somewhere else to dump my doodles, cause I feel like the nature of Newgrounds revolves around more finished and refined works, and to be totally honest, it just didn't feel right dumping a bunch of black and white doodles from my phone (especially those that i may or may not colorize, anyways), gunking up the art portal with that stuff, so if you want to find more of my doodles and sketches, or if you just want to see me talk about random crap, such as retro Videos Game, and other-type stuff, you can go to these pages. Unless you still like me posting doodles here, let me know.

KOFI?!

Yes, I do plan on taking commissions through Ko-Fi, however commissions are currently on hold until I set ground rules first, set the pricings and stuff, but you can still support me financially by buying me a cup of coffee, or else the coffee withdrawal will kick in, which ain't a good feeling!!

nah, seriously though, college ain't cheap, could definitely use a couple bucks if you'd like to donate, thanks in advance

The page is a bit of a work in progress, but I'll add onto it over time.

Aight, that's it for now. See you on the next blue moon.

whew sorry about the extremely long gaps between posting stuff, been busy working on finishing up a new cartoon rn that i've been working on for a while

in the meantime, i'm gonna be reuploading the three animation projects i did from animation class last year onto my YouTube page (starting with THIS one)

also i have a few new flipnotes up on my sudomemo page i haven't posted anywhere yet that you can check out if you'd like

►►WEEKLY SKETCHES

aight, so as a followup from my previous post, here's what i'm gonna do

so every other week, if i don't have anything to show at the moment, whether it be due to having a busy schedule or college related things, i'll put up some doodles and sketches from my sketchbook one or two days per week.

some more recent, some a bit older, or some that hasn't been posted anywhere else outside of small or obscure discord servers

here's some of the stuff i uploaded so far if ya want to check em out:

...would you guys mind if i just put up my doodles and sketches to fill in the gaps between posting stuff?

don't worry, it's not gonna take up the art portal, they'll all be here

my instagram page was mostly just for posting sketches and doodles, but i kinda got sick of instagram, and most of the doodles i post end up being lost in the sea of random mutual discord servers i'm in

what do you think of me putting up my sketches here instead?

4-1-23

Yes. This is real.

After nearly a decade, my old game I made in high school is FINALLY getting a sequel. Check it out.

3-23-23

sorry if i haven't posted much for a while, kinda busy scraping the 3DS/Wii U eShops for some hidden gems before it shuts down lol, but anyways here's the one new thing i have today:

►►ANIMATION

i just made another new flipnote, this time it's about super mario

(this was gonna be a MAR10 day piece but i started it a bit too late, haha)

check it out here: https://flipnot.es/WFKY69

►►ANYTHING ELSE??

well, i am making a new banner for my profile

(sneaky peeky)

but other than that, i still got some unfinished business to do in flash, i'll keep you guys updated

'til next time

been a while since i used that gif, huh

anyways, yo!

i just threw up a bunch of stuff here on newgrounds that you might wanna see

►►ANIMATION

First of all, I know it’s already a few weeks old, and its definitely not new, but thanks for the great feedback on my cel animation! I haven’t had time to reply to them, but I really do appreciate it, it really helps!

oh and thanks for the daily pick that week, too ( i meant to get this blog post out much, much earlier but i’ve also been trying to finish my music, too. plus i got sick last week, so i hadda push this back even more.)

Secondly, here’s the YouTube version I uploaded where you can see the process of the animation, from rough sketch, to rough animation, to ink and eventually paint:

►►NEW MUSIC

In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’ve been putting up several “backburner” songs I started somewhere in the early 2020’s and never got to finish until now.

Here’s the three I put up in the audio portal so far;

FIRST UP:

Chaotic Energy - A weird, warped, but sick experimental track I made in GarageBand.

NEXT:

good4ursoul - A piece inspired by old-skool tracker music from the early 90’s.

LATEST:

The Circuitry Stroll - A track inspired by the fun, synthy beeps and boops of Jean-Jacques Perrey, and maybe Gershon Kingsley.

(in case you missed em)

I was gonna put this up on Pixel Day, but since it’s a total remake of a track from a show, I thought I’d put it up on my YouTube alt instead:

Here’s a DnB track I made in December:

And here’s a Rayman cover I only recently unprivated around the time they announced DLC for the new Mario & Rabbids game:

And last but not least…

►►NEW PROFILE PIC

(ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!)

Felt like the current one I had has been showing its age, with the ugly airbrush shading and all, and the vaporwave looking aesthetic of the background's kinda worn off on me after a while.

And it was up there since 2019. Back when I was still trying to figure out how to use Flash and out how to draw the snout of my own sona's face. Even with me redrawing the nose later that year, you can still see a lot of jank, especially in the shading area.

(bleugh.)

For a while I’ve been really wanting to switch out that old profile pic, but I haven’t really gotten around to doing it until now, which you can take a look at down here:

This’ll eventually apply to the rest of my socials, too, but please, let me know what you think!

►►THINGS I'M PLANNING ON DOING

• I did mention this before, but what do you think of me eventually taking up commissions at some point? Genuinely asking. This is something I've been considering doing for a while now (because college isnt cheap and we kinda need help :\) I've been trying to brush up my drawing skills, and I was wondering how you'd feel if I just started setting up commissions and such, like drawing your characters and stuff?*

(*********AS LONG AS IT'S SFW)

• I also want to get around to sharing some more of my photography work from 2020, too (dont worry, they're not like plain, boring stock still life photos that will eat up the art portal)

If you want to know what that's like, here's one of my personal favorites I uploaded a few months ago:

• And eventually, I want to try to get around to finishing the animations I hadn't got a chance to finish because of the work piling up from college. This semester's a bit more lightweight than the other one, so I think I can manage being able to finish some stuff.

But that's pretty much all I have for now, refreshing to not have a depressing blog post for once, huh?

I'll try to do more stuff, when I'm not busy back at home, at least.

'til next time
