Well since some of my friends are making end-of-the-year news posts, figured I might as well too, as a way to cap off this year.

SO, how did this year go? Well, one of my goals was to post more shit to my Newgrounds and looking at it compared to last year, yep I actually succeeded.

Not too bad I'd say. Hell I somehow got Frontpaged for the first time this year.

Have I gotten better at art? On one hand, I'd like to say maybe, but on the other, it wasn't any HUGE improvements or anything. I'd say it was pretty minimal overall, I'm still pretty lacking on fundamentals like anatomy and perspective. Still no where near anywhere I'd say I'm good.

I hosted a little collab with my good friend Tacopug in celebration for Godzilla vs Kong's release earlier this year.

Little collab involving animated entries from good friends like LobsterMango, Joe-Mega, and my special boyo TeaButt

And some music by Midgetsauasge for my part

Did some more collabs like the birthday collab for StaggerNight and the FINALLY released Christmas Collab hosted by RGPAnims

But was it really all I wanted? No not really. I wanted to release a lot more cartoons but life got in the way, and I'm still trying to improve my art fundamentals and finding animation jobs. Latter has been extremely difficult, and I feel it's directly related to the former.

Now that I've gotten advice from plenty of people, including Crashgen, think the thing to do is this: study anatomy but also actually do projects I want to do. I noticed from years past I had put off animating to focus on strengthening fundamentals, and I feel doing that has lessened my output.

I am a better animator than I am an illustrator, not saying I'm good there's a lot of flaws with my animations.

Realistically this ain't nowhere near the peak of my artistic endeavors, so I gotta stop stressing about it.

Next year I hope to release a Sonic short I've been developing since summer of this year.

As well as possible adaptations of Alice in Wonderland and A Christmas Carol, as I enjoy both stories.

Maybe even an adaptation of Batman Hush, be better than DC's shit movie of it.

And now we get to the sappy stuff.

To my friends, I thank you all so much for even wanting to be my friend to begin with. Because to be quite frank, I am a certified, home-made, all American annoying cunt. So for that I cherise the friendships and support I have recieved this year. Wendigo, Teabutt, Jatmoz, Crashgen, Midgetsausage, Smallphroge, 0chin, RedAndrew, Tacopug, PKToasty, Meulinex, LobsterMango, Kolani, Joe-Mega, Holden, Pyro, MKMaffo, and so many more cool people!

I wish us all a Happy New Year!

Also god bless Tom Fulp
