I had an account here in the Long, Long Ago Time, when I was driven by fervor and angst. Now I'm here on a mission. I write about video game culture and I'll be popping in and out as my work requires.

what a very old user

but nice to meet u tho

Nice to meet you too!

I'm Cycon, I made a cartoon to troll someone (another troll, turns out I was right about that cancer) on Gaia forums back in 2004-ish, it did okay, made another one with the word "vagina" in the title, instantly one of the cool guys, never learned to animate properly, had private lessons from RUBBER NINJA, touched Egoraptor in person and in one of my worst cartoons, drew some pictures for money for Soulja Boy, and basically never really launched other than a handful of mediocre toons with a fuckton of heart.

Nearly 40, getting divorced, father of two kids now, but something brings me back here. Its as if I have unfinished business and can't become a real adult until some prophecy is fulfilled or some debt is paid... be that as it may, I like to think that hit the NG scene at its PEAK, right before the YT and social media takeovers, back when Dave made RAB cartoons and countless legends emerged. I was there.

Now, I dabble in all kinds of things, but haven't really done anything lately. Just wanted to pop in and say, hey ya'll, "this is Cycon" and NO, I don't know what happened to that drunken barstool song, if I find it I GOTCHU FAM BET.

Also, Wonchop and me, we ain't kin. We ain't. KIN.

SB is King of the Portal, long live B

Im Waterina sometimes Winterina im just a water that roaming this planet.

I guess I should use this..

hello I was here from December to may, I left in 2023 and came back here, my original name was Caniac76 I was active on the general and supporter forums

The name's Jur. Pronounced more like "Yur".

Decided to finally make a Newgrounds account after years of having heard of it but not thinking much of it, until in recent years i've been wanting to develop a more stylized cartoon style and world, inspired by what I understood to be "Newgrounds style".

But I still seek to develop my other style(s) and stories just as well.

To copy-and-paste my first post on my profile page:

I've got a boatload of characters and stories I hope to share in a number of different styles and all manner of different themes. And by speaking of them, I may illustrate my lines of thought.

Prime among this theme, is monsters. Abominations, horrors, the freaky, the goofy, the cartoonish, etc. I've always loved monsters, and the idea of a monster to me is *the* symbol of fantasy and imagination. For there are few rules, if any, that could state what a monster can or cannot be.

There are also jesters. For jesters are not simply a target for a pie in the face, but have the potential to express many forms of art and entertainment. Acting, singing, dancing, storytelling, acrobatics, general goofiness and witty banter and remarks. And the entertainment they provide is not aimed to making people laugh alone.

Plus, jesters can simply carry a kind of mystique and intrigue to them that's more appealing than garish clown stuff.

Other themes and inspirations would include history and folklore, martial arts and weaponry, video games and pop culture, dark fantasy, bits of horror, various forms of fashion from the older to the contemporary (compare for example dresses from the 1800s or Mongolian warrior equipment to comfy loose stuff to a boatload of belts, zippers and chains plus leather and/or rubber), and elements of different cultures, and more. Food and music too.

A lot of inspiration comes from music, ranging from the likes of individual songs and independant music artists like Adrian von Ziegler and Cosmo Sheldrake, to bands such as Circus of Fools, Be'lakor, Alestorm, Poor Man's Poison, The Rumjacks, and more.

But very important too is the soundtracks of video games -and video games themselves- with stuff like Rayman, No Straight Roads, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, the Monkey Island and Darksiders series, Skylanders, Brütal Legend, Blasphemous, Grime, and yet again a lot more.

That's the stuff I like. That's the stuff that helps inspire me to do my own thing, and I hope that the stuff I like to make may be of joy, delight, interest, perhaps even a bit of fright and the like to whoever reads this.

Ah fup, just realized i misunderstood the re-introduction thing as just being introduction. That thread's right below this one on the thread page.

Apologies to the mods. My bad. Will try to figure out how to delete this and then put this in the right thread.

I'm Hoppio.

Hi, I'm yoshun. I'm just a guy who likes animation. I draw occasionally but they are really bad, but that's ok. My favorite color is yellow and my favorite fruit is oranges!

Heya! Name's Mihael/Miha, usually referred as MicPix.

I come from Croatia with a desire for friends, working with others and setting my name on here. I like to chit chat about various things that come to mind, aside from that I am interested in art and animation. Hope to get to know you! <;3

Hay !! I’m a bit new here …first time getting into talking to a community on here before. I’m a freelance, self taught artists . Currently learning animation.

It's fucking WILD to me that Cycon is posting in the Newgrounds forum and nobody said hi! I'm personally super stoaked to see you're still around! I watched all your videos back in the day, was always checking Podunkton for the Big Update, saw all the art style changes etc...I'm a big fan! All my friends were back in the day!

Now that I'm done sucking your dick, what's brought you back here?

Hi you can call me Ener, i forgot forums were a thing on NewGrounds until i accidetally clicked on something that got me here uhhhh hi

Hoi, honestly I have never made an introduction on NG for years, but I would like to introduce myself now, extremely late by 5/6 years... let's begin...!

Howdy, I'm FrænkDragon71 but for friends I'm known as Frænk or Ciccio 03 (pronounced Chiccio).

Meaning of my name(s):

I call myself "Frænk" because as a kid I didn't know enough English and I wrote the name Frank wrong, over time I called myself FrænkDragon71.

Ciccio is more of a nickname that many friends give me.

I admit that I have been given many nicknames but it is better not to talk only about those, they do not matter to anyone, lol!

I love drawing and I often enjoy (sometimes) composing music, write or editing videos.

I admit that I'm not very good at drawing and I'm trying to improve, I have many projects in my head that I'm trying to put together but sometimes I have problems realizing them, either because I have blocks or because I think it's not 100% complete and therefore I have to perfect it or because I don't have the skills to finish them at the moment.

I have often tried to make animations but I am not a great expert in the field, maybe I will try to learn to use an animation program that is not so complex.

Besides that, I try to make friends, obviously as long as they are not toxic or too chaotic for my tastes or for others.

I say this for certain people I've met in the past and I would not want to meet exact copies who only know how to cause trouble and spread hatred towards others... yeah... I'm a very selective person, my problem sorry.

But that doesn't stop me from looking for people to meet and talk to about my interests.

Anyway, Nice to meet you all!

P.S.

Sorry for the long message and the details I put in, I'm not very good with introductions! (￣∀￣ ;)

Hi my name is pac,I’m a 19 year old artist/writer who really likes video games and cartoons.I’m working on a few projects rn that I’m hoping to get atleast somewhat finished sometime.I’ve got a lot of passion for writing and game development, and while a lot of what I consider my best work isn’t public yet,I’m still proud of what I’ve done.so yeah that’s a little insight on who I am

I am Erasmus Magnus, maker of eclectic and sporadic multimedia. Seeking the new and novel wherever it may lie. I also write subtitles.

hi yall. You can call me gator. I'm a college student studying game design! I also do 2d animation, sound design, and enjoy writing from time to time. my current goal is to make more personal work i'm proud of that i can share on here.

I'm also thanking my lucky stars that I didn't do much with this account when i made it at 12 years old.

hello.

cha boy from 2002 back.

my username is from diablo2 battle.net

"jasonismad"

I was pvp griefing someone who

scammed my friend for some pskulls and

a soj.

and we took turns smashing him.

It was cut to jasonism. It was never my name lol.

I may step back to animating inthe future.

I mostly do art now.

hi my name is pål and i used to have an old account on here under the username risbolla but i do not have access to it anymore, and also later an account called supergandhi64 that i used to make fun posts on here

i am thrilled that newgrounds is still alive and kicking although i rarely check in anymore except to dig out some of my old favorites

Hej, Pål.

Hey! I'm nimlos. Really love everything that happens on NG and people here. Forum feels cozy like in 2000s when I discovered internet.

I try to find new people, maybe do something together. It's hard to concentrate nowadays though, so much sh't happening around. In times free from depression I try to make music or something like that, also some visual-programming on unity engine. Wish you all the best people

Hello there!

I'm AzraelusGuy and I've created my account on NG something like 10 years ago - then I was mainly hanging-around DeviantArt and coming here just to check something sometimes... now at last it is time to manage some profiles and really be here - especially because People here are WAY better than on DA....

I like cooking... drawing... building my own furniture...

Maybe this is enough this time :3

If You want something don't be shy - ask - I looking forward to nice conversations :)

I don't know if I count as an old user, but I've definitely been off the platform for the while! My name is Aidan, I've always wanted to be an animator, the one problem is I kinda suck at art. So, I'm trying to take things more seriously and actually studying the craft, it's only been a few months, and I think my skills have improved considerably! I really want to find a circle of people in a similar spot as me, I think I've found some pretty good tips and tricks when it comes to study habits and resources, and I'd love to share them. Don't be afraid to PM me and chat!
