Its been one year today since I made my Newgrounds account.

I haven't come very far just yet, but I did have some experiences that would help me move forward. Some good and bad.

I think the biggest thing that I have done (kinda) was the porn rant I made. I still do look back at that post and do self reflection on what I can do better next time. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I made a rant about porn here on Newgrounds. In that rant, I wrote about how I thought porn was hindering the website in some capacity and that I would be leaving. The response that I got was mixed at best, ranging from advice to some scorning at my responce. A lot of the backlash that I got was justified because the rant sounded like I was being pissy about my lack of popularity. Honestly I didn't mean it to sound that way, so I decided to take it down and put up an apology.

What I learned from that experience was that I shouldn't think on impulse. It leads to incidents like the ones I mentioned. Again I'm still sorry about that post.

Looking past that mistake, I have plans for the upcoming future. I have an unfinished MF DOOM request that I need to get to. I'm sorry that I haven't finished it, I just got too busy with school work that I put it on the back-burner. I'm setting up stuff for future animations, still working out what software I use and to get. I set up a twitter just this week. I'm going to post shitty drawing I made on a whim and animations, I made it so I can get into contact with Jimmy Davis (a popular YouTube pooper) so that I can get advice on video creation. For now on, I'm going to post not too serious projects to my twitter. So if you have the time, please go check it out. also

And finally, I want to thank those of you who are following me on Newgrounds so far. I know I haven't posted often on here, but I'm hoping this year will be different. I just feel that I need to make something of quality to post here as akin to something of quantity. Hopefully I'm able to make great animations that I can post here by the end of the year.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a happy new year

Just a quick update, I have a twitter now. I was thinking about uploading animations, and shitty drawings on there if I want to.

Also on the 9th, I'll have a large life update so that will be fun.

Ok so I’ve been gone for like a week, and I’ve been on a cycle where I post something onto newgrounds and then I take a break. It’s due to the fact that I have no interest in newgrounds then I did at the start of the year. I think it was the fact that I didn’t know about a lot of stuff about newgrounds that I didn’t find appealing until I got further into the year. So collage is staring soon, so I might have some motivation to do art here. Also the part time job that I mentioned is going to get back to me this month, so I hope that goes well.

Thanks for reading and I hope to post more stuff in the future.

I was thinking about this Newgrounds account today,

I pondered the last few months and what I have been doing in that amount of time, thinking about stuff on Newgrounds, what I like and don’t like about it, and my future career. The biggest realization is that I was not having fun with my art. I realize that I’m still growing as an artist but I have an unhealthy mindset of thinking that my work has to be like the art you see on the front page but I end up not liking what I made as a result. So what I’m going to do is make this account more of my personal account as a way of my art to grow naturally so I don’t rush myself and eventually become a mediocre artist. If I make a serious project in the future, the best thing for me to do is ether make a separate account for it, or set up its website so that it’s away from this account, and it could act as my portfolio. I’m hoping with this strategy, I would be able to have more fun with the projects that are not as serious. If you have a question about what I’m going to do, or

about this post, feel free to leave a comment below, I’ll do my best to respond.

later,

Hey its me again,

As of late I graduated from High School last Thursday and I'm going to go into College this fall. During the first weekend of leaving High school, I wanted to take sometime to reflect on my goals as an artist here on New Grounds. My final conclusion is that I shouldn't focus heavily on New Grounds as a full time career. This is mainly because, like iDubbbz once (loosely) said, people who focus on online careers full time with eventually fail. I also want to focus on making art that make me happy. For example I felt like making an art piece for the Mermay trend, but the Idea I was going for was probably already done by several other artist on this site. So For the summer I'm going to focus on stuff outside of new grounds. Theirs a job opportunity at a local restaurant I'm thinking about taking, so that will help me get some money for my future career. I'm still going to be on New Grounds from time to time, posting art that I feel is worthy of your time. But over the summer I'm going to focus on improving said art, so that I can eventually make a masterpiece.

See you later,

William

Just updated one of my art pieces. Go check it out.

It can be found here. :)

Thank you for reading this update,

I want to apologize for the last news update that I made. After I made the post and got some feed back, I realize that I have came off as harsh towards the website and its policies. I appreciate everyone's feedback and thoughtful conversation.

All the best,
