He definitely reminds me of how I used to be (I wouldn’t draw penises though).

Sorry @Fruitpummel I’ll give you a higher score.

Edit: I made things right with him in the PMs. We’re good now.

You probably saw my last post. I’ve changed my mind

I realize now that my art will not always be perfect. I need to enjoy drawing instead of throwing a tantrum when it doesn't get the appeal I want. I'm 14. I'm not gonna be the best artist right away. That's what practice is for. Keeping my old art up will help me learn what I need to do differently and the issues with it so I can see it and do better. Not erase my legacy on this site. I'm sorry for the way I acted. It was stupid. I let all of you down and I let myself down. I need to realize that its not about the awards or recognition you get. It's about how much you enjoy doing it. And I need to accept feedback and not take it personal. I should be grateful that someone is willing to critique it and help me make it better. So I'm gonna upload my art back to the portal and future art with a more positive mindset.

To Make up for the shitty quality of them, I will redraw with a better style.

I will not be redrawing all of them. Only a handful of them

Here are a list of art I will be redrawing:

SrPelo Fan art (Pelo & Skid)

Eddsworld fan art (Edd, Matt, Tom and Tord)

OC art (With the new color scheme. Orange variant will never be drawn again)

Fan art of Other OCs

The Newgrounds 30th Anniversary fan art

And fan art of @Dungeonation that I announced on bluesky but never started on

All of these will be redrawn with better procreate pens and will be drawn with a little more sketchability

Also I'm sorry for my recent crash out. I was just dissatisfied with my old art.

I’m so fucking tired of myself not getting better at art. Everyone has told me my art isn’t good enough to be frontpaged or even noticed by any admin on Newgrounds. It’s not healthy for me to keep going on Newgrounds everyday trying to please others on this platform and telling me I can’t do this or I lack that. So I’m not coming back to the portal until I upload something meaningful to the platform. Then nobody will say anything about it because it would ether get front paged, or have really high votes. And then everyone will say “Oh we were wrong to shit on this kids art. I didn’t know he had this much potential in art.” And I realize that my art isn’t good. I know everyone is just trying to help. But it’s only making me feel worse about myself.

Im not deleting this account, but I will be inactive in the portal until I upload something good to the portal.

I meant to tell you all after the song was released on Newgrounds but I remembered now.

Do you remember this song? https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1386972

IT IS AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING SERVICES

(And before you ask, no I didn’t have to get sample clearance because 2 of the drum loops I used were in fl studio’s kit meaning that I don’t need sample clearance)

ALSO THIS SONG IS NOT ON YOUTUBE’S CONTENT ID SO YOU CAN USE THIS SONG AS LONG AS YOU GIVE ME CREDIT.

Also this song isn’t leaving Newgrounds. All of my songs that I put in the audio portal will stay on Newgrounds

It’s the only way I’ll get better. And maybe if I work hard on it enough it will get frontpaged. Only time will tell.

I have gotten more comfortable on this platform so I might as well tell my story

Hi. My name is Austin. And as of right now, I’m a teenager. I grew up in Rock Hill and grew up in a struggling household. My parents were struggling financially because some asshole at my dad’s company who was his business partner spent 2 million fucking dollars on a tractor trailer. I’m not sure why my dad was unable to sue him but he lost everything. This impacted the family. When I was 3 years old, my mom had to move in to my grandparents house until she could get back on her feet and as for my dad, he had to live at his mom’s house and sleep in his car. They are doing much better now and my dad has his old company back and a job at an airport. And my mom Teaches preschoolers with disabilities.

I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters

I was raised in a Christian household where the only thing we could watch was VeggieTales and some other shitty Christian shows.

Yall had Superman

I had superman at home.

Superman at home:

My grandparents were the only ones that had cable and sadly they didn’t let me watch SpongeBob.

As I got older, I had more access to the internet and I decided to discover adult animation. The Simpsons and Family Guy were the first adult animated shows I was exposed to. Later on I would find out about South Park and Rick and Morty.

When I turned 12, I stumbled upon Animaniacs when I was scrolling through YouTube. Thankfully I discovered the 1993 series first. And the first exposure too it was when I stumbled on a clip of the Wakko’s America song. At the time, I had no idea what the hell was going on because I didn’t know who these characters were. I never watched this show in front of anyone or mentioned it to anyone especially to my parents because it had at LOT of adult humor for a kids cartoon. And I thought I would get in trouble for some reason.

Life went on until I turned 13 years old.

I was in a very dark place in my 7th grade year. I made one little mistake that comes with growing up as a teenager. The majority of the school year was a living hell because people wouldn’t stop talking about it. It gave me a lot of mental health issues. I was not in a good point in my life.

Later on as life went on and things kept getting worse, I found this site. Newgrounds. When I found this site, I was wondering what it was. Did god show me the answer to all of my problems? Did he lead me to a community with people who care about me? And that is what exactly what the good lord did. A month after joining, I became a supporter and it changed my life. I found a community who cared about me. I found a community who gave me a reason to live another day. I found a community for me.

I found a community for Everything by Everyone.

And here I am.

I became a cartoonist and learned and grew from everyone.

And I enjoy every single day to the full Because I know when I get home from school, there is this website that I’m gonna hop on for the rest of my life

Mwuahaha

I hope everyone has a great year!
