The THANK YOU posts just never end, don't they! Last night, I was shocked by the amount of positivity my Art Inspired Music 2025 promo art spawned (thank you @Random-storykeeper for allowing me to work on it!), which absolutely FLOODED me with new follows, eventually surpassing 200. Thank you so much for checking me out, I know I repeat myself a lot, but I'm just so grateful to this site's amazing and supportive community. Here's to another milestone!

Thank you @Cosmiccookie2000 for being the follower number 200!

Now onto some little news for those interested in my comic work. "I do love animals, but this news post requires me to kill two birds with one stone". I'd like to share some small details about the upcoming first full issue of Annie & Laura. Volume 1 will pick up right where the pilot left off (you're welcome, @Wegra) and will follow the titular characters missing their bus and hiking their way through the country by all means of travelling to reach the campsite. The main theme of the comic will be travelling, which includes travelling safety and etiquette, as well as some fun topography sprinkled in, all wrapped in the humorous zest, that you fell in love with!

Until then!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for reading Annie & Laura and all the positive feedback! This truly means the world for me and inspires me to continue as a comic artist. Thanks to all the new followers, who joined to see more of the comic, as well as returning ones, who always are first in line to see and rate my work. You have my undying, sincere gratitude, everyone 💖

The comic pilot is available to read anytime on my profile, EXCLUSIVELY on Newgrounds! So don't hesitate and continue your support!

And just like that, the community says YES! Annie & Laura will become an irregularly scheduled comic series, with Vol. 1 entering development in late April! If you're interested, be sure to follow me to not miss any updates. See you on the feed!

My leaderboard time says 00:00:04.05, but THAT IS 100% BS!!! I have VIDEO EVIDENCE of a time much LOWER than that!

Care to explain, Mr. Chancho? @Gr33nCvnt >:vvv

Check out my latest comic - a 15-page water-tester for Annie & Laura, in which the titular protagonists spend their summer trying to earn money for a summer camp. If you like unique, obscure artstyles, lighthearted slapstick and a rare sense of humour, this comic is definitely for you!

Hi there! Just wanted to announce that I've made my new hangout Discord server! This is a new NG-centered server that anyone can join, designed as a chill place to share your NG work in, hang out and maybe make some new friends. Don't hesitate, join DrSaturn2's Cheese Club today! 🧀🐭

While we're at it, I wanna give a huge shoutout to my friend @Rob64Bits - an underrated artist that you should check out now. He's been trying to build an audience here on Newgrounds, and I thought a public shoutout would be a good way to advertise his profile. Seriously, check it out!

THE WAIT IS OVER!!!

Astro Collab is finally out and ready to rock! After nearly 4 months since its conception, the development behind the interactive gallery, alongside almost 70 unique and colorful bots brought to you by Newgrounds artists, has reached its end, and I can't thank you enough for supporting this fun project, and spreading the love for the little award-winning wonder across the site!

Check it out here!

Big thanks to @TaigaFX and @RosesWolf for bringing their talent into the project, which wouldn't be possible without their contribution.

Hi there! It's Christmas, a good day to share some information about my whereabouts this month, stuff that I think are worth mentioning, as well as plans for 2025.

First of all, Merry Christmas and happy New Year! This has been one of the most stressful Decembers of my life, which is exactly why I felt horrible during the month's second half. I still do. And even then, despite that, this has been probably the most successful month on my NG so far.

Thank you so much for 100 followers, and thank you for my first (and hopefully not last) frontpage.

MY PLANS FOR 2025

The new year is upon as pretty soon, and I think now it's a good time to talk about what I'll work on in 2025.

First of all, January will hopefully be the release month for Astro Collab, which is developing slowly, but in a very promising direction. Thank you to all contributors, who submitted their bot, and I hope to see more!

As far as Newgrounds-specific activity goes, I don't have any more plans for now, which means things will stay mostly the same.

My New Year's Resolution is to finally come back to my Youtube channel. 2024 has been a very dry year in terms of content, both from me AND my Youtube mutuals. However, I finally feel confident enough to sit back and cook a long-awaited surprise for those who prefer my animated stories.

I'M ON BLUESKY

I made a Bluesky account a couple of weeks ago, but didn't feel like advertising it that much due to important Astro Collab news. The account is pretty much dormant, because the numbers are really low. But if you're interested, give it a follow, so I can have a reason to care about it.

My Bluesky is directly tied thematically to my NG stuff, but I might use it for my Youtube side as well, who knows.

And that pretty much does it. Again, merry Christmas and I hope you have a great New Year!

APPLICATIONS CLOSED!

Thank you so much, everyone who applied for the collab! The collab has reached sizes beyond my expectations and it's all thanks to your support, wonderful bot artists and the Newgrounds community, that we're here today, standing with over 50 Astro artists, as well as lovely technical staff consisting of @TaigaFX, @RosesWolf and @ExplosivePickaxe!

Anyway, today is December 8th, and the application doc is now closed. Now it's the best time to pick up that pencil and start drawing your bot-sonas! Remember that the submission deadline is January 19, 2025, which is the day all bots should be finished and have valid names and descriptions!

Here, at the Astro Collab, we will make sure to bring you a great and polished interactive gallery experience for the entire community to enjoy!
