@DerangedKnite I am not a professional artist, yet, but thank you! Just think of how much easier everything will be once you finally get that tablet. Another thing you might learn when you get older--"triple A" $70 video games take like a full year or more to finally work out the bugs, and people who buy these games on Day 1 at full price are basically paying the company to bug-test their game, instead of the company paying them. Be patient, don't give into Internet FOMO (especially if people stop talking about the latest, greatest game only a week after it launches), wait for sales, play more indie games like Pizza Tower, and hopefully you won't end up hating the entire video game industry by your 30th birthday. I still remember when paying $40 for a DS game felt outrageous...

Funny enough, I did play and finish pizza tower, And it was a pretty rad game on its own, Like I really loved it1 And I was playing vampire survivors too it costed only 5$ but it was pretty addicting, And I think I stopped playing once i beat the entire game, And managed to unlock everything on it, I'll say this, Indie games are really the future of videos games, They are cheaper, And much more fun, Putting the game in video game, Yeah, I'm already not too interested in resident evil 4 remake, Hell I don't even like hogwarts legacy, Since it was just harry potter crap and preferred pizza tower over it, Also yeah, I guess things will go better from there once I get my hands on that tablet, All i have to do is wait for april 20 or slightly above since I know theres another holiday that comes right after it, And it kind of sucks because I have like entrance exams at april 18 and what not. And I know I will get my ass kicked hard on math. and what not, Its one of the reasons why this whole thing is stressing me out.
Still as for the games, I haven't bought a game for the switch in ages, nintendo really did become stingy at this point. My switch is like collecting dust, guess TOTK might be the only thing I buy for it for a while I ended up playing SMT V and BOTW the other way around.
HOLY CRAP I GOT CHRISTMAS MIRACELED! THANK YOU MYSTERY SUPPORTER!
Your art looks amazing! Don't let anyone get you down. If you need a friend, I'm here for you.
Thank you very much! I haven't been posting much recently, Since I'm drawing in private most of the time. I'll have to say tho, My work with circles are getting better now, I'm drawing heads in confidence and ease. Still thanks for appreciating my art, Means alot
@DerangedKnite Np! :D

The good news is that Newgrounds does not have an algorithm, so don’t feel pressured about putting out content for the sake of content, it’s not like Twitter or YouTube where frequent posting makes it easier for people to discover you, regardless of the quality of said posts. Newgrounds is like social media, however, in that it seems like you are comparing yourself to artists who are older, more experienced and overall simply had more time to practice and hone their skills. My art and especially my animation sucked when I was 18, too, and unlike you I wasn’t aware at the time that I could learn all this stuff for free on YouTube channels and waited until college to properly start learning this stuff. Hayao Miyazaki didn’t get to direct his first Studio Ghibli movie until he was 48, for example. You have way more time to get better than you think you have.
Also, no one is expecting 18-year-olds to consistently to make enough income to pay for monthly subscriptions of any kind, not even Newgrounds’ $3 a month fees. People who do support the site, like me, are older adults with stable jobs and incomes and/or healthy savings accounts, not teenagers relying on allowances from their parents and maybe a summer job.
Take a long break if you need to, but don’t be so hard on yourself next time. One of the benefits of being an artist is that your “peak” is still a very long ways off. You’ll be blissfully drawing masterpieces in your 50’s and 60’s while your peers are freaking out about midlife crises and wrinkles, just keep practicing until then.

jthrash you always came to news and posts, And any threads I make about art and supported me, I just wanna say, Thank you so much for being there for me, I actually mean it, You and some few other professional artists on this site helped me out quite alot, But thanks for supporting me in alot of ways, Everytime I feel like I'm in the gutter, You come up and pick me up and tell me to walk again. So I wanna say thank you very much, Really does mean it.
But still, I don't know if I really should take a break in uploading sense, I mean I don't have much in my head to draw fanart for anyways. Expect for your usual characters, But i have been pretty much training hard on drawing as much as I can. I don't know if what I'm doing is doing progress for me, But only time can tell at this point, As for the subscription I only paid for a newgrounds supporter once, Then I had someone help me out back when the general is still open, But now thats gone, I don't think i have anyone to hold me up on that anymore, So I got no one to talk to that much aside from some few people.
Believe me, Me having the ability to purchase a game especially one that costs 70$ is like a extremely rare miracle at best.
I have to agree on the artists too, They do seem like people alot of history on their drawing careers. Hell they even got the right tools for it. I'm only practicing a hellton and trying my best to improve my art at best to an atleast acceptable term, While slowly trying to build an audience through newground's forums well thats gone, Don't really know where to build an audience next.
Still thank you very much honestly.
