Happy Anniversary to “Using the _____”!!!!

Man I can’t believe it’s already been exactly 1 year since Using the Brain and the start of this stupid little series, but yet here we are. I wanna thank those who’ve been enjoying the series so far! Yknow originally the series was going to be about more using body parts like the heart, lungs, bones, etc. but in a more twisted literal sense. In fact the sequel to Using the Brain isn’t out cuz i’ve been working on other ideas. At first I saved it for valentines day, but now that that’s pasted, I dunno then, but the sequel to “Using the ______” is Using the Heart which its release is still unknown

With a grand total of 6 episodes so far, somehow Gameen has been making people like you smile with her stupidity, ignorance, and silliness that puts a smile on your face and makes Gameen’s little heart smile :)

Now I question why I even named my series Using the ______ in the first place? It could’ve been named a little differently, but I am not a fan of changing names, so the series name will not be renamed cuz i’m lazy. Well with more episodes to go, I dunno if Gameen will run out of things she can use.

Now with that being said I hope you enjoy the anniversary animation that is right her-… 

Wait… hold on. W-where is it? I scheduled it for today at 7:30.. where did it go?.. wait a minute, where’s Gameen? Where is she? I swear she was here a moment ago- uh oh. Oh no. It seems like Gameen is is m-m-m—m- MISSING! Well I don’t know what to say. She’s missing. Well there’s always one culprit, so which one of you took Gameen? Where is she? Where did she go? I know one of you took my precious little character away from me. She couldn’t have ran off herself despite her ignorance.. oh no, I have to put missing posters around. I can’t just continue making this series without her… where did she go really? Aw man welp guess I gotta find her. And I gotta find her before the 19th, otherwise it wouldn’t really be an anniversary without celebrating it on the date. I gotta find her, I really do no matter what. Well I can’t do this by myself I needa assemble a search party or something, but where can I find a search party? Well in the meantime, I’ll put some missing posters around and move on with my day.

Ok I setup a form to join my search party for Gameen. If you are valid to join my search party, I will link you to a discord server or something and you’ll be apart of my search party

So did I set out what I wanted to do in this post? I dunno, let’s see what I have done this year.

Animation

This year i’ve done lots more animation this year and now starting to make cartoons that I want to do. I really wanted to show off original stuff for animation, and doing so, i’ve made a little series for myself staring my character, Gameen

But that’s not all. I’ve also created some non Gameen cartoons including the following

I’ve also made a halloween cartoon this year.. though I kinda rushed it, so not my greatest, but it’s a halloween short

Out of all of the cartoons that I’m proud of and that I enjoyed making a lot, it would be the following

It’s a shame that Using the Pizza didn’t do as well, but that’s what happens when you promote stuff by using your frontpage newspost. I’ll make sure not to promote my original stuff anymore on newgrounds :<

So what’ll happen in the future in terms of my animations?

well i’ll continue to pump out some animations as well as work on something that’ll be big and cool. It might take months or years, but it’ll be worth it and definitely not ambitious.

I’m also gonna start dumping all of my animations onto youtube. Maybe early January.

That’s all for animation. It was the more bigger one as it was a big step up on my artistic journey.

In total i’ve uploaded 9 cartoons, and 4 of them have gotten daily featured!!!!! Thank you newgrounds for liking my animations and will be making more animations just for y'all and for me :3

Art

Art was the same old same old. However I have started to get more into dynamic posing as well as drawing a lot more of Gameen. My reasoning for that is because I haven’t been able to draw her as much back in 2022. As well as drawing more of my characters that I’ve made. I wanna draw less fanart because I like drawing original stuff as well. I might doodle some other characters and might draw fanart for stuff I really like though. It’s just that to me, I want more original work of mine to be more known rather than constantly drawing fanart. Well I guess draw what you like.

big stuff for art this year, here are some of my highlights this year:

I haven’t made much drawings this month, but that’s fine. More to come next year!!! I dunno what ima focus on for art next year. I guess time will tell.

Collabs

Here’s some collabs I’ve participated in:

I’ve also made banner art for my friend, @Tritnew for his slumberland collab

I haven’t participated in much collabs this year cuz I was focusing more on myself and really that’s fine cuz I don’t need to be in every single collab ever :)

with that being said, early 2024, Ima host my collab and in dear honor of my friend @Taka , I’m gonna make another cute cat collab!! This time it’ll be a combination of Animation and Art showcase. I’ll sort it out later, and also i’m not doing applications yet, so hold on to your seats!! I was suppose to do it this year, but some stuff came up that didn’t allow me to do so this year.

The Future

Other than what I’ve said above, I’m gonna maybe come to some meetups as I went to the toomanygames meet up this year. I wish I got to mee everyone there, but I’m happy I went :)

This year was really like THE year for me, I dunno how ima top this next year, but I’ll wait and see.

I wanna thank everyone for supporting me and my work as well as my friends who’ve been there for me. Y’all be the best yknow. With that being said, I don’t think I have anything else to say other than saying thanks for newgrounds, so yeah.

have a great say everyone and I hope next year is good as well. Bye!

500!!!!!!!!

woah that’s a lot of people. That’s pretty big accomplishment and I thank all of you for liking what I do.

I got some final few animations I wanna do before the end of the year and drawing a little Christmas drawing as well!!! Here’s a teaser of one of the more bigger animations coming out soon below. I really wanted to go all out on this one and it’s close to being done.

I have some small animations I wanna do now that i’ve bought myself Procreate Dreams which i’m learning how to still use. I hope I can pump out as many animations as I can before the year ends even though i’ve made so many this year already. Now that i’ve started making so much more animations this year and finally learning how to animate in general, I might look at some past jams here on newgrounds and maybe do something for some stuff that i’ve never been able to take part in. Never the less, i’m glad I'm able to make animations now and make y’all happy!!

That’s all I gotta say, till then, thank you all for 500 and now i’m halfway to 1k!!! :D

Later y’all

Well this is a cool little update. Now I can polish up my playlist of Using the _____ and give it a bit more of a fancy look. In the meantime, you can watch the last 4 episodes of Using the _____ here!!

that’s all I really have to say Yknow. I wanna make a poster for my series and have that somewhere on the playlist, so yeah. Have a good day y’all!!

Yes you get a free pizza. Even the cat gets some free pizzas as well

the cat got his free pizza :3

.. ok this was just a news post to promote my latest animation about pizza which you can watch :>

but wether you want to watch it or not, you’ll still get a free pizza from me, so here you go

I hope you enjoy it and have a good day :>

Hello people today i have a special announcement

I have made a discord server!

That is right i now have a discord server that any of y'all could hang out in and I would appreciate if y'all would join it… I mean it’ll have me 🥹 you just chill in it and that’s it you can join using this link

https://discord.gg/PKbeehgNV9

Anyways, I also wanna give some updates about me rather than just this announcement be the discord server.

what have I been through?

well… I’ve been doing somewhat good tho this month and a bit of last month weren’t so great.. I just haven’t been feeling as good and that I’ve cancelled the planned cute cat collab 2023 due to not feeling good + I already have some stuff I wanna do like some animations n stuff. So ultimately while I haven’t even announced a cute cat collab this year other than my tmg meet up recap, I WILL do a cute cat collab early next year, so I hope y'all are gonna look forward to that.. I know from the teases I made in other discord servers that some of y'all were very excited for this collab so it hurts me that I had to cancel it

:<

Anyways I have loads of things planned like more cartoons cuz i’ve felt a little more confident about them after my last 2 animations got daily 5th, so there will be more stuff coming from me

Well that’s it for me, I hope y’all could join my server and I hope y’all have a good day :)

420

My cat ate my pizza :( i want a new one

I was very happy to reach 400 fans that I went and gave my cat some pizza. He enjoyed it very much.

Anyways, Damn 400 fans. I never thought I’d even reach 100 to begin with. Thanks y’all for the support

I have a couple of stuff I wanna do for the future. Mainly some small animations to work on my animation skills and yeah. Other than that I have nothing else to share. Bye bye…..

I know someone’s been in my basement recently. If you’re that person, get out of my basement please. Unless you like the smell of a litter box I don’t think my basement is the place for you :3
