I’m a pretty cheery guy and an avid artist with a pretty active imagination, a wicked sense of humour and I enjoy meeting new people and making connections. I enjoy playing games on the side, picked up reading again recently because goodness knows my eyes need the rest, got into working out and exercising last year and still doing it,

I’ve actually been here since last year but haven’t REALLY tried to be more integrated into the community until recently. I wanted to try being more active here and really build an audience and such for the stuff I make. It’s always felt kind of discouraging to really try to build traction for the stuff you make on social media nowadays since most of the time what you put out gets drowned by so many other voices and posts. I’ve heard Newgrounds has always been a place for people to have their humble beginnings/ big breaks, connect with others and a place to express yourself and your creativity and that sounded like my cup of tea and wanted to try giving it a shot.

It’s always been a goal of mine to turn what I love making into a living and so I’ve propelled myself into different art avenues. Having almost an experimental phase with doing stuff like portraits, illustrations, landscape, currently trying out pixel art and stuff but mainly I’ve been looking into becoming a Graphic Designer, either freelance or under a company. A slight pipe dream but I do want it to not stay that way by continuing to improve myself and put myself out there for opportunities to work with and for others. Other then that hopefully anything else I left out on this post, people get to find out by getting to know each other better. I hope to get the chance to really make progress on my goals here as well as making new friendships.

I'm working on a comic about an alcoholic monster that can never get a drink no matter how hard he tries, which is still in the works, but you can keep up with my art here in the meantime. I post much more frequently to my Tumblr, though. I like that this site is very friendly to unusual content and I look forward to exploring everyone's work.

Welcome back to NG. I'll definitely be tuning in.

Does the monster ever think of drinking Monster?

Welcome to the core community then. You got that right, it's the starting point for many artists who can trace their beginnings back here. I hope you succeed, and know I believe in you.

I studied game art in uni but never took art seriously enough to really create stuff in my free time besides some small stuff here and there, and some shitposts, but that's changing now that I have an ipad in my hands and an unexpected buttload amount of free time.

I dig videogames, cool animals, guns, beer, and medabots, all of which I want to start drawing.

It's nice to meet you fellow NGers.
And if we've met before - sorry lmao

I branch out to try different genres and to try to push my limits so not everything I make will be high quality. But I do release basically everything as creative commons, so if there's a track you like and you want to use it for a project, you don't have to ask, you can do it. If there's something you like and want it looped or extended or broken up into subtracks just message me and I'll probably do it.

Outside of music, I'm pretty experienced with software. I do know webgl and emscripten in quite some detail so maybe that could result in some sort of interactives / game stuff eventually. I dunno. I have written some webgl 3d engine stuff before, mostly to make browser-hosted gamedev tools. If anyone wants to learn about a technology stack that lets you make one codebase that targets webgl, opengl on desktop, android, etc using open source stuff, feel free to DM. If there's interest I could make a tutorial or something...

Anyway, I guess that's it for the intro, nice to meet y'all and see y'all around!

It's nice to meet you too. No sorrow here, you sound fun.

Medabots was/is fun. So is Angelic Layer, if you've ever heard of it (is very similar).
