As for what's next? If I remember to, I've been meaning to do more Drawpile compilations...

Oh yeah happy Pixel Day! Haven't really done much pixel art recently, unless you count making alternate outfits for Minecraft skins...

More characters in this year's group are from games I didn't personally play myself, others are from games that appeared last year that were added in later updates.

Additionally, I have gone back and tweaked some details on "Characters of 2022". The original will still be there for the sake of comparison with the newer version being in the forefront.

OLD versus NEW

I finally have something to post! Haven't been in a drawing mood too much this year...

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate(d)! Next thing I post will very likely be a 2023 version/followup to:

Made a playlist for my favorite tunes here on Newgrounds. That's kinda what I was using my favorites for but this way I can save my favorites for the extra special stuff. There's also a fair amount of of music that's here and not on YouTube.

Wow, does this update add a lot of new features! I'm going to go back and adjust my currently posted stuff where necessary. Other than overhauling the Isaac Quick Draw Showdown post, linking inspirations in the artist list will probably take the longest.

In other news, this year will not have an art summary. Mentioning this since new people may not know that 2022 was the first time I was able to reliably get something for every month. If you're curious about the yearly google doc I make for art summaries it looks like this:

A lot of my time this year I sunk into modding Left 4 Dead 2, going through hard drive deaths, and revisiting Minecraft modding. Speaking of, the first series of Left 4 Dead 2 modding doodles will make it here eventually. Either it will mimic the drawings found in the first Tumblr post (with less text), or I'll hold off and just make a collection of the better looking doodles.

Check it out:

Description is WIP, I'll add stuff as I post this on my other soicals cause they'll cross reference eachother.

As I added in an edit to the old news post, when the new art system rolls out I'll consider uploading some Modded L4D2-inspired doodles onto here with the upcoming gallery mode.

For another niche indie game. Man I do that a lot huh?

bounty on me for my unfinished projects lol

Edit: If anyone is interested, I just did an art dump of some doodles based on my addiction to modded L4D2 that you can see here!

If there's enough interest, I suppose I could make a Newgrounds version of the collection. Although it is a lot of text...

Edit 2: Above image is almost done; it will be posted tomorrow. As for the L4D2 Modding doodles the update to the Art portal will likely make that easier to go through so I'll wait for that

The One From Every Heroics series isn't dead; it's just kinda... crawling. I have technically made more progress since my last post but it's not much. Here's some previews:

I also made this full group shot; it will be used for the collection on Newgrounds but I may also use this image to log the project on Pixiv (aka the only place other than Twitter I've seen the most One Way Heroics fanart). I'm also updating the description of the collection here on Newgrounds with more detail.

Slay the Spire Downfall: Patsy Beta Art (2022)

Winter 2022. RTGame is playing through Persona 5 Royal and got me interested in the Persona series again (last time being SuperJeenius' LP of Persona 4 Golden in 2013-2014). This card is a play on Persona 5's Baton Pass Mechanic with Gremlins wearing masks and dressed up accordingly.

I never decided which Gremlin to make Crow (I think I went with Mad Gremlin at first but wasn't set on that choice). Social anxiety caused me to be too afraid to look at the three pings I got in the Downfall server so idk what they said to me. Fast forward months later, most (if not all) beta art for Downfall's characters as of this post are done. Some cards still need proper art so I still have a chance to get in more art but it's unlikely. I'll probably wait for a new character at this rate.

Yeah I know I've been kinda dead when it comes to posting art (because of too much gaming); even so I've been seeing that Color Wheel challenge go around and I have interest in trying it! As a test I made this one featuring outfits that my Fall Guy has, but sooner or later I do want to try and draw one (you bet Bean will be taking the Turquoise/Cyan slice of course).

Red: Captain Redshift; subject to change but I was using screenshots I already had to make this as the game has been acting up for me recently. Otherwise I would make one consisting of all Blunderdogs in different colors haha.

Orange: Plushfox

Yellow: Don

Green: Driplodocus; probably the least fitting but I like this costume

Cyan: Bean's Signature look (Turquoise Delight)

Blue: Nutcracker

Purple: Ultimate Idol

Pink: Freezy Dream Bean; aka my attempt at referencing the Genderfluid pride flag with Pink/Blue/White/Purple (because this OC is Genderfluid; not me)

Gray: Looks like MonoBean is trying to sneak in...

I have seen an alternate version of this incorporate Black and White into the wheel but I'll probably do this one.

What? You want actual art? Well I do have this:

A challenge in perspective featuring the L4D2 modding team
