Following the closure of the General forum, we're missing a thread where we can highlight the User of the Day. The Wi/Ht forum seems like the most logical place to migrate the thread to. Let's get this restarted!
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
Today's UOTD is @Nihaho!
Nihaho joined Newgrounds in 2013 but started submitting animations in 2019. He first caught my attention in 2021 with the fantastic Bridge Kids: Smokin' Butts:
Since then, the Bridge Kids series has been a main focus of Nihaho's submissions:
And even being in the runner-up for best of February animations this year!
Even earlier, Nihaho was creating animations during his time at the School of Visual Arts in New York
I really like Nihaho's art style, it seems like something that would be right at home on Adult Swim. Congratulations to Nihaho for being today's UOTD!
Today's UOTD is @LJTLegendaryL, a user with 63 audio (and a bunch of other things!) and has participated in a bunch of audio contests over the years.
Take a listen to some of their works:
They've also been working on a game called Isometric World: Frame of Mind. There's a preview below, maybe there will be an update on where things stand to come

Today's UOTD is @Ditchu!
Ditchu is a pixel artist and animator, and has a super impressive portfolio, despite joining NG just shy of two years ago.
Their earliest submissions consists of some nice pixel art:
And their art has only improved with time:
However, I first noticed Ditchu after he submitted Susie's Sick Skateboard Tricks:
Another really cool submission consists of a Deltarune/GTA4 mashup loading screen:
Most recently, he submitted a remake of Undertale's intro video, titled "Long ago...":
This animation was not only frontpaged, but also won Daily Feature and Weekly Users' Choice. Impressively, all of @Ditchu's animations have been frontpaged! (hope I'm not putting too much pressure on their future work by saying that!)
@Ditchu has a patreon if you're interested in supporting them. Check it out!
Congratulations on being today's UOTD, @Ditchu!
Today's UOTD, @EhFilms, joined Newgrounds all the way back in 2001!
Their submissions consist of some quintessential early Newgrounds material, a lot of which was really good for its time! Check out these animations:
And of course you can't forget the dressup games that were so popular back then:
Newgrounds wouldn't be the place it is today without people like @EhFilms making these kinds of contributions over 20 years ago.
More recently, @EhFilms has been running a youtube channel. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/@personreviewslife/
Congratulations to @EhFilms on being today's UOTD!
@Onionboss, today is your day!
Onionboss unfortunately needs to update their social media links :(
Onionboss has contributed art to NG, such as a these recent works:
Congrats, Onionboss! Hope to see new art from you soon!

Today's UOTD is still not The-Great-One.
It's @CometComics!
An avid fan of Kamen Rider (based on their submissions), CometComics has 26 games
It looks like there may be a new animation coming out, if their twitter is any indication. Hopefully we'll see it in the portal soon!

Today's UOTD is @Kinoshita-Crazy!
I'm a sucker for a good lo-fi beat, so Kinoshita-Crazy's audio submissions are right up my alley.
Their first submission, Lullaby, is a nice listen
And the backstory to Down & Down sounds like it was equal parts interesting and terrible
Most recently, Synthwaves from earlier this year was great!
Other than audio submissions, @Kinoshita-Crazy also dabbles in animations that are centered around their audio creations.
Check them out!
Congratulations on being today's UOTD, @Kinoshita-Crazy!

R is for Randomness
Today's UOTD is @BreBrz! (AKA Breab which tripped me up a bit!)
BreBrz is an Australian animator and artist and has been submitting some awesome creations early 2020.
Fans of FNF will love this FRIDAY NIGHT GLITCHING music video:
And this lo-fi music video, Riley Davis - Time Away, is just lovely:
(the full version is here, I definitely recommend a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gChX19ijPx0)
Most recently, BreBrz animated this great collab of sketches!
As for art, I love how you can see the progression of style over time.
Congratulations to @BreBrz on being the UOTD!

@Mich, your number has been drawn!
Mich is a musician who joined Newgrounds in 2008, and has been submitting music to the audio portal spanning several genres since then. A few selections for the interested listener:

Lastly, I wanted to highlight his involvement in the 2015 collab for NG's 20th anniversary! Of course, he supplied some of the soundtrack!

Thank you for featuring some of my work here, much appreciated :) Looking back on it now, some of it makes me cringe a little, while other pieces I'm still pretty proud of.
One day I'll actually make some more music
Today's UOTD is @ScarStuff!
With over 200 art up on NG, ScarStuff has certainly been busy, but not so busy they don't have time to take commissions (if anyone is interested).
ScarStuff has had some art frontpaged, such as tankman and Saul Goodman:
Congrats ScarStuff, enjoy your day!

I think it's important for people to see that not everything you create will be amazing, and that real improvement comes with time, practice, and from listening to feedback. If you're brave enough to share something with the world, it's fine that it's not perfect! Really that's mostly the point!

Thank you so much for featuring me, it was a really nice surprise, i didn't expect this. I hope you enjoy my stuff and expect more in the future!
