Hello, everyone! My name is Charles, and I go by Awksalotl on most things.
I've been part of Newgrounds since the early 2000s, and became enamored with the possibilities of indie animation when I watched Adam Philip's Brackenwood shorts for the first time as a middle schooler. While I've always loved the community and creations posted here, I never made an account dedicated for my own artwork, and before long, I stopped practicing and improving my art altogether.
Here I am, over a decade later, and I feel like I'm ready to restart. I finally finished and posted my first animated project to the art portal, and while it's not a full-fledged movie, it's a start to get myself there, and I want to keep improving.
I'm also largely introverted and seemingly anti-social, so this is all nerve-wracking to me, I'm sorry, haha~
I'd love to make some acquaintances as I continue my journey, so thank you all for having me!
