CREATURE COLLAB (2023) ANNOUNCEMENT:


Hey all! OneDude20, here. Just making this post to state that The 2023 Creature Collab is now underway! Already we have a solid line up of artists and creations that are bound to blow you away, but the more the merrier!


Oh yeah. We are looking for participants from all traits, including Artists and Musicians of all talents. Even people who aren't fluent in creating art can join in! It is a low effort, high reward collab for everyone to enjoy!


The main goal of the collab, like last year, is for participants to draw a 'lil creature and give it a name and tiny description! Could be a big ol' creature, or a tiny 'lil critter. Literally anything goes. The only exception is that it can NOT be explicitly human. The more deformed your little homunculus is, the better.


That's pretty much it! If you are interested in participating or want to find out more, come join our Discord Server! Doors are open to anyone. No due date has been assigned just yet but this party has to be pumpin' for us to even consider one! Also, leave your questions below and I'll do my best to answer them!


SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET UP, GET EXCITED, AND COME JOIN IN THE CREATURE COLLAB 2023! AWHHH YEAH ITS THE FUCKIN' SQUEAK-UEL!! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL PARTICIPATING!!!

CREATURE COLLAB (2023) PROGRAMMER SEARCH!


Hello again, NG users!


I'm OneDude20, and, as you might have heard, my new art collaborative project is happening right now: Creature Collab 2023! This project is a sequel to last year's (Creature Collab 2022), in which users were tasked with creating 3 lil' cretins of their very own, displayed in a timeley manner in an interactive gallery! If you somehow haven't seen much about it yet, want to know more, or want to participate, check out this newspost for more info! We have around 50+ people, including a few new artists on the scene as well as previous participants, but the more the merrier!


Now, I want to keep just as brief, but as luck would have it, we are looking for a few new programmers! Last year, the collaboration was spearheaded by the fearless @MSGHero, who took on and finalized the interactive elements that many of you saw in the finished product. Building from that initial idea of a two-dimensional interactive gallery, a few artists and I brainstormed and came to a solid idea of what the game's theme of this year should be: Sci-Fi!


Though this won't have an effect creatures submitted to the collab, it will affect general UI, the look, and ambience of the game. There's gonna be some scrolling past test tubes, npc's walking left and right, and a brief introduction given from a "crazy scientist", teaching people about the creatures! Behind the scenes, we will be dealing with numerous high quality images, so if you have experience tons of pictures at once and making it look good, this post is especially for you!


We are ahead of the curb this year; we already have a handful of concept art and sketches by a few of this years participants (which look great!!!), so hopefully we can hop swiftly into the programming phase. Additionally, this project may as well be big enough to the point where it requires a few people to code it all up, which I suppose this means we are looking for 1-3 candidates with well enough coding capabilities!


Thank you for your time! I understand that a project like this doesn't present itself often on here, and that it's a big ask, but if we've done it before, we can sure as hell do it again. I'll be sure to respond as fast as I can to whoever inquires! Can't wait to work with you all soon :)

Hello? Is this thing on??


What's cooking, NG users!! It's OneDude20, here with some exciting news!


First and foremost, some personal biz: I think I'm finally ready to return to the site! It's definitley been a long time coming, but I just couldn't bear being away for any longer. Plus, I've finished all of my university prep and everything else, so the summer is basically free time right now (save for when I'm working)! Might have to remind myself occasionally to hop on every once in a while again though...In any case, it's nice to be back!


Second and also foremost (???), there's another reason why i'm making this post here today, and thats to drum up a little conversation about a potential sequal to last years Creature Collab. Because of the overwhelming success and turn out of the initial project, there's just no way I'd let another instalment sneak away from me: Creature Collab 2023 is upon us!! I have no set idea for how we'll go about it this year, though it will absolutley NOT be the same as last year. Therefore, we need your help!!!


If you're interested in joining this years Creature Collab (2023), hop up in our discord server! There will be frequent updates, and we'll be brainstorming as best we can on how to go about this year. I'd love to hear what kind of ideas you guys have too! Also, I'll be scouting the website in hopes of finding more potential artists to climb aboard, plus a willing programmer (the most vital person, of course).


SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET UP, GET EXCITED, AND COME JOIN IN THE CREATURE COLLAB AGAIN! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL PARTICIPATING!!!

Hey guys, OneDude here.


First off (and this has been a VERY long time coming), I wanna congratulate literally everyone who worked on the Creature Collab! Thank you so much for creating your own dubious critters and placing them inside this cacophony of talent. Special thanks go out specifically to programmers @MSGhero and @NikZapp for helping conceptualize the project and putting it all together! I couldn't have done it without you guys :)


Second off, I want to apologize as to why it's taken so long to say that! In short, I've been rather busy with school work, extra curricular, family, and relationships. But alas, even with the down time in between all those things, I gotta be honest here!


I'm just not attracted to social media anymore.


Maybe its because I'm so busy? Or maybe it's because I'm overwhelmed with platforms to use on a day to day basis that I can't manage my time properly? Not entirely sure. All I know is that I find myself less on a screen, and more living life. Over the past few months following CC2022, despite all the work, I've gone out with friends, snagged a girlfriend, done surprisingly well on schoolwork, played very few videogames (save for a few, club penguin especially), gotten into anime (msg00), began reading the original Dragonball manga, and started to take care of a Christmas cactus.


I'm aware listing the things that has happened to me immediately after I said I'd keep it short is like, very asshole-like of me, but I wanna emphasize something here.


Because I'm in my grade 12 year, I've realized that there is a lot less less time for me to do stuff before i gotta get serious. Hell, It's already too late! I gotta put a portfolio together with some of my stuff (i have basically nothing!) so i can hand 'em into these art schools! The future is very scary to me. I know I'll survive, but I absolutely wanna get the skills down so that I do, which is why I'm not active online anymore. Suddenly, the internet becomes a resource!


That's not to say I won't log onto tiktok or some shit and find a video that makes me cry laughing, but all that's recreational to me! I've shed my need to be in a community, at least for now. I've already forsaken some of the friends I've made on here too. But, if they are reading this, I hope this finds them well, and I also hope they understand that eventually life takes priority one way or another. I hope some day I appear again in full force with the same motivation I had when I first began posting here, and if some of you still retain that drive, and that ambition to create,then more power to you! I'll be here, rooting from the side lines haha.


My account isn't going away. It's just gonna be dead for a while! I might post, and I might not. We are sure as hell doing CC2023 because my goodness was it awesome! But for now, I suppose you can catch my very limited activity on my instagram. There you can find some stuff. Good, bad, doesn't matter. I'm sure it's linked in my profile, but I am NOT gonna link it here. Too much work, and it feels disingenuous to do so!


OOO! P.S.! If you have any experience with portfolios 'n stuff, feel free to comment or dm! I'm going into illustration, and I'll need all the help i can get :)


That's all for now!

CREATURE COLLAB (2022) PROGRAMMER SEARCH!


Hello again, NG users! I'm OneDude, and, as you might have seen around the site, I've been advertising my new art collab happening right now: Creature Collab 2022! If you somehow haven't seen much about it yet, want to know more, or want to participate, check out this newspost for more info! We are well over 45+ members, but the more the merrier!


Now, I want to keep this brief, but it seems like lightning has struck again. Happening upon a certain set of circumstances, the collaboration's project is now in need of a new programmer. There's no large feat that must be accomplished here; This is a simple project, so I assume there is not much that needs to be done in terms of coding. As of right now, only a mockup and a few progress videos exist of the project, so If you are interested, leave a message below, or send me a DM! I would love to work with a person smart enough to help me on the programming side of this collab haha.


Thank you for your time! I'll be sure to respond as fast as I can to whoever inquires!

CREATURE COLLAB (2022) ANNOUNCEMENT:


Hey all! OneDude20, here, and I am back with another exciting post!


SO, as you may or may not know, a few weeks ago I created this newspost detailing my plans for a summer art collab. Since then I've been a little busy with school, but now that I've finally finished my exams and wrapped up the year, I took a little time to put together, finalize, and glue all the main bits of this lil idea. But what does all this mean???


The Creature Collab is now underway!


Oh yeah. We are looking for participants from all traits, including Artists, Musicians, and Coders!! Even people who aren't fluent in creating art can join in! It is a low effort, high reward collab for everyone to enjoy!


The main goal of the collab is for participants to draw a 'lil creature and give it a name! Could be a big ol' creature, or a tiny 'lil critter. Literally anything goes. The only exception is that it can NOT be explicitly human. The more deformed your little homunculus is, the better.


That's pretty much it! If you are interested in participating or want to find out more, come join our Discord Server! Doors are open to anyone, and we are aiming for a due date of Late July! Also, leave your questions below and I'll do my best to answer them!


SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET UP, GET EXCITED, AND COME JOIN IN THE CREATURE COLLAB! I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL PARTICIPATING!!!

Erm.. Hello?


Hey NG users! Long time no talk. I'm OneDude, and I have no clue how to open these blog posts anymore. It's been way too long since I've made one of these because school is a BITCH rn. Tons of work nowadays cuz exams are coming up, but that's not the point of my post today!


As you might know, me and a bunch of other talented artists came together and made a bangin' art collab in December of last year: YIIKMAS 2021, to be precise. I'm still super proud of how it turned out even after all this time, and i couldn't thank the artists enough for coming on board and giving it a shot!


But now, as I come outta this 'lil hiatus, i wanted to start this summer off strong with another kick ass art collab...


The Annual Creature Collab 2022!


Oh yeah. That's right. I'm talking a big collaboration with tons of artists on board all coming together to make a bunch of lil creatures! Its a simple idea, so lemme explain:


  • The aim is for participants to draw a lil creature! Could be a big ol' creature, or a tiny 'lil critter. Literally anything goes. The only exception is that it can NOT be explicitly human. Think of those shitty art Instagram posts that tell you to draw something "properly". Fuck that! The more deformed your little homunculus is, the better.


  • Give your lil creature a name, and then submit it along with a link to your Newgrounds account! In the final project I imagine that all the creatures will show up on a big mural, and when you hover over one, it highlights and shows its name and a link to the creator's NG account in a little text box to the side of it.


Its still a very rough idea. I haven't really pitched this around much so I'm still somewhat thinking of ways to make this better! That's the real point of this post, actually.


Based on this information, how would you make this a better project? What would you add or subtract? Would you want to join this collab? Leave a message bellow! I'd love to see what the people of Newgrounds think of this idea. It would be a really big project with relatively limited input from participants, making it even bigger.


Thanks for reading!

Holy Bagioli!!!!


Ok I'm not ashamed to admit this, but... I joined in part due to FNF. WAIT WAIT LEMME 'SPLAIN FIRST!!!!


I didn't join NG because of its gameplay, because yk, who would? I didn't join NG because of its art, even though it was and still is really fucking appealing. I joined because I saw passion in the game. The amount of references and call-backs to Newgrounds culture and characters really resonated with me. It gave me a sense of community, something which I shouldn't have felt, because I wasn't around when it was all new. The freshest Tankman cartoon, the newest Henry Stikmin game, the gayest Pico parody video. It was all foreign to me.


The minute I went onto the site to play that game, I saw it all first hand. It was like being a kid in a toy store for the very first time. Without hesitation, I made an account and played the game, and when that wasn't enough, I wanted MORE, so I browsed the site, voted 5's, voted 0's, favorited shit, commented shit, rinse and repeat, almost every day, and NOW...


A year's past and I'm still doing the same things. That's the beauty of Newgrounds, it's like a flowing fountain of fresh content. It never gets stale! It doesn't even matter how good the content is because with the sheer size of the community, there's always gonna be someone who likes your stuff. From there, things are bound to get better.


DUDE I HAVENT EVEN MENTIONED THE AMOUNT OF FRIENDS THAT IVE MADE!!!! So many creative minds, talented voice actors, impossibly good music makers, illustrious artists, and just some downright awesome people living and thriving in every crevasse of the site, it makes my fucking nose bleed! I'm so glad that I got the chance to meet them. And that's another good part about NG; if you don't fit into one group, you're bound to fit into the next!! You will always find a group to gel with.


Personally, I'm really proud of the projects I've helped or led this past year, namely YIIKMAS. It was so inspiring to see ton of new faces join this collab and the strength of our teamwork throughout the whole project. The finished product was something I never thought would come into fruition. If you worked on this project, I want you to give yourself a pat on the back because, without you, it just wouldn't be the same :)


And all of this, within a year. Its amazing, truly. I'm proud to be apart of this community, and honestly imma be a part of it for years to come!!! This year I don't have much planed, but I do have a few ideas. I'll keep you guys posted ;)


Thanks for a year, here's to another!

Hey all! I'm OneDude, and if you didn't know, I'm hosting an art collab by the name of YIIKMAS 2021! I wont go into details since this post is urgent, but if you want to know more, check out this post. I also previously made a post in the forums about this topic, but I figured I might as well make a news post as they tend to get a lot more traction.


With that being said, I'm in need of programmers. This should not be that big of a project: its a simple "rotary wheel" of all the submissions, the name of the creator, and the submission title. It's in the similar vain of the Halloween Art Collab, for reference. The deadline is planned for the 20th of this month, but I'm willing to push back as much as I can. I have mockups for the UI made, as well as backgrounds too, but that's it. there is still a bit we need to conceptualize in order to make it the best fucking thing evar11!!!!1!


This is a really big thing for me. I took on the responsibility of creating such project with the hopes that it would showcase smaller artists' talents, bring together Newgrounds under a common (hated) character, and potentially blossom into a large project for everyone on the site to see. I really don't want this to fall through.


Thank you for your time. DM me or reply here if you are interested.
