It's been a bit!!
probably gonna have to edit this a bunch... lol
Hellohello again!
I promise you I didn't forget to write one of these! I've just been waiting for more public facing stuff I can talk about, and I just so happened to take a trip to Philly for the recent TMG Newgrounds Meetup! So we are are obviously gonna start there before we get to the more standard stuff
NG PHILLY TRIP
Last year there was a tiny lil get together at TooManyGames consisting of myself and a couple others, all of us were either already traveling together or just scrambled together from twitter posts. I remember on the drive back to my airbnb I hoped there would be another one next year and to my delight one got announced! I was really surprised at how absolutely massive this was in comparison! Thank you so much @cortat-g & the rest of the organizers for bringing this back and making it into smth really cool! It was so inspiring I straight up don't even know where to start recounting my experience! I had such lovely conversations with basically every single person I spoke to! Bumping into some of y'all outside the meetup just in various corners of the con or city was such a surreal experience, and its nice to finally put faces to names!
For the meetup (and the con itself) I went in cosplay as ENA, both because I really love the character and because I knew NG folks would recognize her. (I kinda underestimated how popular ENA is if im being honest... I spent a lot of time taking photos with people.)
This was my first ever time cosplaying and I'm extremely proud of how it came out! He wasn't at the meetup but I have to thank my good friend @sugaphys for helping me put it all together.
As seems to be tradition with peoples posts about the event, I'm gonna quickly tag some of the people I remember having nice lil interactions with:
@GirZiggler @LineThickness @PieLordCollin @Hibachi @ant @ivanalmighty @cryptospore @Droid @heyopc @alyxandr @shal @brandybuizel @mkmaffo @anislug @Dungeonation @EugeneDoesArt @HollowLugia @PhantomArcade @RavioliBox @SageIsReal @Slimygoo @Squidly @TheDyingSun @MSGHero @hekdiggity @marshybruh @SrPelo @greengungegirl @elikapika
I feel a lil bad laying all the names out like that cause I've most definitely missed someone, but we press on!
If you met me at the meetup: I'd love to talk to you again! I think one of the biggest things going through my mind leaving the meetup was just "I really hope I see all these people again!" I really felt at home in that lil corner of the con and I hope you all had just as much fun as I did. I made a ton of new friends and grew a even larger than ever before love of this site and the people on it :D
if you couldnt tell by now i very much have a "default" photo pose lmao
I even got to meet @TomFulp himself !
I find it difficult to truly express the joy I felt at TMG this year, esp due to some personal life junk, just know that if we spoke u have a nice lil corner in my brain that i look to whenever i wanna smile. I genuinely had the time of my life talkin' n chillin with all of you, and I hope our paths cross again soon. <3
Artsy Farrtssyy
Back into the standard emistatus stuff now: I didn't post as much art as I would have liked but I still extremely proud of my progression as an artist! I can see my own improvement and it just gets me more and more excited to make stuff.
Experimented with painting style stuff with this one! I think for a first attempt it came out pretty good
I also got to participate in the MSPAINT collab aswell! I've never actually attempted to use mspaint for real art stuff so it was a bit of a struggle but I'm proud of the result
Content or whatever
There are literally like zero updates on the Twitch side of things cause I fell out of streaming hard, I have infact revived my Youtube channel as I said I would in the last update! I just make whatever shitty lil gaming/news video I want to and because of that I've found this new love for the process
I've got a nice lil thumbnail format n everything! (I've started drawing my own thumbnails too)
This is my new video I made with some pals on Dead By Daylight, if thats ur kinda thing
The Ending part
There is so so so much I want to talk about but I try to keep these not too big and also easy to write, I've got a lot of cool projects in the works in the background that I can't wait to share with you all! The next post should come out a lot quicker than this one did.
If you read all of this, Thank you!! I hope ur having a great day wherever you are
byebye~!
