Hello everyone,

you are probably not used to seeing news posts from me since I am very reclusive, but I wanted to give a small sign of life nontheless.

2025 marked a big change for me: I stopped trying to find a stable job in the fickle videogame industry and went freelance instead! It is all very intimidating at first and I felt like I was falling into a void for a time, but now I'm helping out with some game projects again and it's a blast to just.. hop on and work. Granted, I have yet to do my taxes so my euphoria may wear down to a realistic level eventually.

Regarding my personal works, I'm still toiling away on my little 4-panel comics. I started drawing them to explore the personalities of my characters and to dip my feet into comic stuff in general before I try to do anything bigger with a continuous narrative. Only 6-10 more pages to go before I upload the whole collection as one Art Portal submission with higher resolution. In the meantime, you can find the released pages in my Art Thread or here:

That's it, have a good day!

I'm also active on Bluesky now, in case anyone wants to connect!

Lots of Newgrounds peeps already made accounts over there to escape Twitter or just for fun. It's genuinely a refreshing experience to see such a big art migration, leaving all the dirt of old social media behind. Only time will tell if Bluesky is made to last, but for now it is a nice oasis to dip your head into and immerse yourself in some positivity.

Tango/Renée made a useful Newgrounds Starter Pack that will help you to find some of us on that platform, and you can find even more Newgrounders by scouring the feeds of those listed there.

My number one platform will always be Newgrounds, of course.

Hello!

Some older followers may remember a short animation I posted in 2012, titled Out of Order 1. That project never got a continuation since I was occupied with other matters - like learning how to draw with a graphic tablet - but I still have years of concept work lying around. Now that the Art Portal has received the necessary upgrades, I finally took the time to compile them all into a simple 28-page artbook:

The webseries obviously got shelved before it really begun, but I still think it was time well-spent since I used that project to train myself up in all sorts of disciplines. The characters are alive and well in my heart, may this artbook serve as a small window into the strange world they inhabit.

Edit: Added a PDF download link to the submission.

That's all!

Good day, I hope you are all doing well.

Forgive my infrequent activity, game development, you know how it is! I'll drop some new drawings of Lago soon, but today I come to you with something more interactive:

Steam Nextfest starts shortly and a new demo for ITORAH, the game I'm animating for, will be available so feel free to check it out! This time you can get lost in a forest, bash some skulls in and meet a new boss. Uh oh.

Also get MadnessProjectNexus, do I even need to explain why?

See you on the road!
