so.. what happened with me this year? Let’s just get it over with 

ANIMATION

I definitely improved within this year. Still sticking with doing animations with original characters. I’ve started up a new little series called Curious Creature. Originally just a quick little halloween thing from last year, now getting its 3rd installment very soon, I can’t wait for y’all to see what wacky stuff happens for the future of Curious Creature! Check out the playlist so far with episodes 1 and 2. 

I didn’t do as much Using the ______ episodes as I hoped. I kinda just stopped it at the anniversary which is sad to think about. I had so many episodes planned, many in production and I even wanted to do a new episode before the end of the year just to make up for the lack of them, but alas, I kept doing other things. Unfortunate

I do also wanna give a dedicated section here to the Tankmas Animation Jam! Very fun to host something on ng this year, and there’s more to be had next year which I'm very excited to show to y’all! Again, thanks to the participants for partaking in this jam! Here’s the playlist once again showcasing all of the entries + winners! 

Anyways, here are my highlight animations this year:

 https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/922564

In total, I’ve made 10 cartoons, which is actually 9 cartoons cuz one of them got deleted off the site, but it’s the same as last year, which bugs me a bit cuz I wanted to do more, but that’s okay. Lots of them did get featured though via frontpage and dailies, in which I do appreciate very much. Thank you all for liking my stuff! :)

ART

Art I've actually focused on a bit this year as well. I’ve been experimenting with some forms of art here and there and this year I’ve switched up how I do backgrounds and sketching entirely, which I do like and will continue to draw and experiment even further. I dunno, not much to say for this section lol I’ve been kinda content with my art for now.

here are my highlights:

I made it my goal to draw a lot more this year, and I'm glad I have. Will continue to draw for more years to come.

COLLABS

Here are some collabs I joined, blah blah blah 

Plus the pokemon gijinka collab which I enjoyed my time with. But yeah Not many collabs I did wanna join. There were just so many that it honestly just made it feel less special to be in one. 

As for the brainrot collab, yeah sorry I couldn’t get it done this year. Lots of more things I had to deal with, but i’m very sorry it’s not getting done sooner. Just how I want the collab to be like shifted 180. Originally, I wanted it to be interactive, but now it’s going to be in video format unfortunately. It’s just the only thing I could do now. :<

Speaking of collabs, I got a hold of one that’ll surely surprise y’all next year, so be on the lookout for that one next year. You won’t believe it. 

I’d like to give a dedicated segment to Tankmas this year. It was honestly really fun and really cool to see it all together. I enjoyed every single day of it and I wanna thank Shmoods and Squidly as well as the rest of the team for their incredible hard work to make this Tankmas feel special. It was fun to be a participant and a contributor for this year and I hope you guys enjoyed my little part with the marshmallow animation. There’ll be a firework show on the 1st of January at 6pm EST to close off the advent this year. Out of all the Tankmases I was there for, this one is truly the best Tankmas ever! :)

EVENTS

I went to exactly 2 meetups this year! I went to tmg this year and wildwood. They were really fun and I got to meet so many cool people! I even made some wood tags and i’m glad people still like till now. They were fun to make and one of the last few things I made in High School, speaking of, this year, I graduated from high school!! 

Many things happened to me this year that’ve been good and bad and just soooo much going on, just done with this year honestly. I didn’t really have a good start to the year due to some personal stuff happening at the start, cutting off ties with one of my former friends for just hurting me, then joining one thing that was now an utter waste of time on my end. I was close to being done with that as well and just *boom* kicked off out of the blue. At least it turned out to be very cool, though I'm sad I didn’t get to show off my work for that.. This year really was the worst for my mental health and I just have some people I wish I could just say sorry to for being how I was this year. My head wasn’t in the right headspace and originally, I thought I was gonna leave this year on a bitter note, but after a few talks, I feel better. While this year was terrible for lots of people, there’s always next year. Next year, I feel like I'll be much happier with what I’ll be doing and as long as I improve my own well being and surround myself with people that truly care for me, I think I’ll do just as fine as previous years. I felt a little off this year. But, now I'm looking forward instead of back. 

If you noticed, I changed my pfp. Originally, I never wanted to ever change it cuz I wanted to show how far I’ve really come from when I joined the site to now with one of my first publically online creations i’ve made, to now… but now I don’t wanna think about the past any longer and wanted to start new and fresh for this next part of my life, so I changed it to my sona I made a few months ago. I do wanna thank you all for being here with me and sorry for being me at times.. and being a bad friend. As the clock reaches 0 soon, I’ll enjoy a moment of peace for a good bit, before starting all over again and reaching to be a better person. It’ll be slow, but I’m hopeful that 2025 will truly be my year.

 I don’t really give special thanks a lot in these newspost cuz of my reasons, but just know if you were someone close to me and that I consider a friend, you have my special thanks and thank you for making my year less sucky :]

thank you all for reading this and have a happy new year.

Well well well…

It looks like we’re done here. We’ll finally announce the Tankmas Animation Jam 2024 winners right now. All of these animations were very wonderful and had their own unique charm to them. We really appreciate the participant’s time and effort for this jam. In total, we had a total of 10 submissions. That’s a LOTT more than I expected. You guys really made my year! :] 

@MrShmoods and I have judged all of the submission now and now we have our Top 3 winners for the jam. 

With that being said, here are the winners of the Tankmas Animation Jam….. 

The winner is………….

ME!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I WIN ALL OF THE MONEY AND YOU GET NOTHING!!! AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MERRY CHRUSTASMAS SUCKERSS!!!!!

Nah i’m joking. There’s actual winners. Sorry for the scares and anger you may have had. I'm not held accountable for that lol, but here’s the actual winners for the jam starting with…

HONORABLE MENTIONS

The submissions were a part of the top 5, Here they are in full glory! 

now with that out of the way, let’s get on to the TOP 3 SUBMISSIONNNSSSS!! At first we have…

3RD PLACE - $25

This animation made by @QueenBoo had good story telling. The description really warmed our hearts, “How dare she try to win our favor with those damn puppy eyes. It’s working though” - Shmoods 

Jokes aside, we really liked the work you put onto this project. We really like the gag reel at the end as well and we really like the Poster made by @BonGuy as you can tell by the playlist, we love it so much, we made it the thumbnail… though -100 points for the among us piss in the snow T^T

2ND PLACE - $50

For @MayaLaCookie ‘s animation, It was a surprisingly creative utilization of the characters. Mr. PeanutBudder being a plushie (we love it so much, we want a plush of him right now. Get to work on it before I send gooble to your house!! >:’] ) as well as the PeanutBudder album cover which was hilarious lmao. Durooge being depicted as someone cosplaying as him in the background. I really liked how it all comes together at the end with the cassette tape. Overall, it has a very good aesthetic with the hybrid mixed media style! Love to see more stuff from the Blam Sisters :D

1ST PLACE - $100

As the title expresses, this WAS an unexpected surprise to see. @VrdOficial did an incredible job with his submission. It’s clearly an animatic, but the usage of it made it feel like pages off of a storybook with its monochromatic color scheme. You really got a lot of mileage out of very few frames, lots of dynamic stills, and that takes a lot of skill. The detailing in the backgrounds were really fun and seeing small little details like the poster of Durooge and the evil smoke stacks polluting the atmosphere. The story is very short and sweet, but very effective. We really enjoyed the usage of the two characters. Really something Dr. Seuss like about the animation and we love it! We’d like to see this continue on cuz the world is really cozy. Congratulations!

Top 3 winners, MrShmoods will contact you for payment. Congrats all of you and congrats to all who have participated. 

Originally, Top 3 would’ve premiered on Tankmas 2024, but after some consideration, ALL submissions to the jam will be premiering on the Tankmas Advent 2024 as a movie premiere on the 28th of December which is National Short Film Day. Here’s a playlist featuring all of the TANKMAS ANIMATION JAM submissions if you’d like to watch them all in a row. This was a very exciting event to host. I hope y’all stick around for the next animation jam I’m gonna host early next year, so keep an eye out for that. I hope y’all had a nice Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year very soon, bye bye everyone!

THIS IS OFFICIALLY YOUR ONE WEEK WARNING TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR THE JAM!!!!

Again it could be something short and sweet as well and anyone is still free to start working on it now if you’re just hearing about this for the first time.

All of the rules and info are on the newspost below

https://kingcrowned.new grounds.com/news/post/1492121

One last time, the DEADLINE is DEC. 22nd at 11:59PM PST

Well now folks, you’ve been waiting for a bit, so I think it’s time to reveal the theme for this Tankmas Animation Jam. Inspired by the Big Boy Rumble Tumble Jam, and Hellavision Television's The Guy, everyone, please welcome…

These Dudes below!

Scroobenezer Durooge

A man that’s old, cold, and full o’ mold.

A man of indeterminate old age who’s very cold and bitter. He despises the holiday seasons. Every single one of them.

How do you pronounce his name, you ask? 

Fascinating question!

———————————

Moving on to the other half of our dynamic duo, we’ve got…

Mr. Peanutbudder

He’s a gnomish Santa figure. You get it. 

(Big fan of Peanut Budder™).

The polar opposite of Scroobenezer Durooge in every way, and his main foil/accomplice/rival/frenemy/parner/brother/lover/bowling ball… he’s whatever you want him to be!

———————————-

Now for…

The Jam Guidelines:

1. BOTH characters must be in the cartoon, somehow. 

• This is your one, and only requirement. Don’t like the characters? NO PROBLEM! Read on to the next point!

1. These characters DO NOT need to be the main focus!

• They can be the main characters, characters in the background, clouds in the sky, plushies on a shelf, anything at all! The choice is yours! (for reference, check out how the titular ‘Guy’ is featured in The Guy)

1. Must be ‘festive’ in some form.

• Whether that be Christmas itself, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Little Candle Day, just a general snowy theme… or none of those things! If Die Hard can be a Christmas movie, who are we to judge what you find festive!

1. NO Time Requirement

• Do whatever best suits you, but don’t get so ambitious you can’t get it done. We remind you this is the holiday season, so please don’t overstress yourselves. If you’d like a timeframe anyways, somewhere between 15-90 seconds is a good metric to work in.

1. NO COPYRIGHTED MUSIC

• We encourage people to use music from our lovely musicians from the Audio Portal (y’all are amazing :3), or find a musician on your own. There’s also plenty of great royalty free music to choose from!

Please submit the link to your portal entry in 

THIS FORM, and use the tag “tankmas-jam-2024”

Due Date:

Sunday, December 22th, at 11:59pm PST

Top 3 WINNERS will be showcased in a special Tankmas ADVENTure 2024 movie premiere!!!

$ Cash Prizes $

1st - $100

2nd - $50

3rd - $25

All animations added to the full Jam playlist will be featured in Tankmas ADVENTure 2024 as honorable mentions!

Keep in mind, Tankmas is E-Rated. 

• If you want a chance at a Tankmas premiere, be mindful of the E-rating (We understand Durooge is an irresistible subject for NSFW, but you simply must resist).
• If you’re just looking for an excuse to make something for December, you’re free to make whatever you want for the Jam (even A-Rated!)

Oh you thought all of the tankmas events were done??? NO! @MrShmoods and I have gathered to create… 

The Tankmas Animation Jam

Yes a holiday funday for the last month of the year. Now you may be wondering, what’s the theme? What’s the jam about? That’ll all be answered on the 30th of November! Ohhhoohoo, you better prepare yourself, but not really cuz you CAN’T do an animation till the 30th, I repeat

YOU CAN’T START AN ANIMATION TILL THE 30TH OF NOVEMBER 

That’s why we’re not giving a tag to put your animations under.. not that it matters cuz you don’t know the theme itself, so. But whether you actually read this or not, you could read the word “prize” as that intrigues that little brain of yours. Here are the current prizes 

Prize Info:

1st - $100

2nd - $50

3rd - $25

Current Sponsors:

@MrShmoods - $125
