I can't stand it. I can't stand living. Being alive is such a damn chore. I should be happy that I basically just got a job, but I could not be more anxious. And not in the good way. I kind of am in the good way, yeah, but... I don't know.

It feels like the first day of school again when I was a little kid. But it turned out ok then didn't it? Yeah, I should be ok, right? Yeah. I'll be ok. I'll be ok.

This has good possibilities too.

Just gotta keep telling myself that.

This website is such a cool place I'm glad I can share my art and see artwork from all sorts of different people. I've made cool online friends from here! how cool is that? The games and music and art and movies are all a complete vibe and a living tribute to everything good about the internet.

Thank you Tom Fulp for making this place!

If I ever make a website one day it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of the giant that is you!

I have some cool artists I like that I wanna give shoutouts to on the frontpage as well!:

Mnzozo

She makes cool art, is very nice and makes neat gifs and short animations!

Jojo

He makes cool, interesting music, and enjoys writing! Is also pretty nice, too!

Robiiin

They make art and music! Both end up good in my opinion! So check that shit out yo!

So yeah, it's great to interact with the newgrounds community at large like this again! Always fun posting crap on the front page!

Hey! TheBestBroster is here with some news update thingy! I'm just posting this to show off some things I've done lately and talk about life a little.

So for what I have already completed lately, there is:

This artwork turned out pretty good I think! I wanted to share because of that!

I've embarked on making walkthroughs of video games for fun, and this is the one I'm currently in the process of making! I've had a pretty nice time making it so far!

This is the previous longer-term Let's Play that I have completed! I fuckin' love Castlevania.

I have also animated some stuff too, so hell yeah! That stuff will be shared at a later date of course, when it's finished.

So, for life:

It's been up and down. On new meds, and they help a lot. Who knew I needed mood stabilizers so damn bad? Not me, that's for sure. Good god.

Also looking back into applying for some jobs around me soon enough. Because of the new meds, largely.

So yeah, little bits of progress here and there, but still the same old shit. Same old depression and waking up groaning every day. But I suppose it has it's good moments from time to time. Weed is part of those good times, for sure. It's really nice. Almost too nice, heheh. If you know, you know. I'm slightly addicted, but nothing that will end me.

I've been getting outta the house a little more, too! I even took a walk myself today, and that wasn't too bad! I got sweaty, but yeah y'know, its Florida!

Not much more to say to you, fellow Newgroundsers, other than Happy Halloween, and a wonderful day to you!

Video games.

I have them up.

Twitter is here.

Sheezyart is here.

Hell yeah peep that shit. Haha. Ahh man I'm fucking tired. No sleep. Only Grand Theft Auto III.

Hi! I'm not gonna do the news posts of the monthly recaps like I did before because it was a little too mechanical in my eyes.

Anyways, May of 2024 was really good for me! I had fun drawing and stuff! I am so happy that my Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door mural got frontpaged! Thank you so much for whoever is responsible for that, it made me very happy! I feel like I am myself. I have got my life and myself figured out to some degree. Not all the way though, as I am still pretty young, and still am going to have many years of learning and growing ahead of me.

But yeah, I am very happy with May of 2024! I am a better artist than I have ever been, I feel smarter than I have ever been, and I sincerely feel like I will come to great success in the future. I am trying my hardest at my artwork, and I know I will become something great. Because I believe that I am a really cool guy! And you are cool too. You just need to believe that you are beautiful. Because you are. Give yourself a hug right now. But yeah, on top of that other stuff, I am working out again, and I feel pretty good about myself because of that! I've only worked out for the past week or so, but I hope to be able to keep that up because I feel so proud of myself.

Anyways, that has been my month of May of 2024! I hope I have a good June, and you too!

You have a great month I wish you love and peace!

Hello to everyone on Newgrounds! I have had a strange, depressing day today. And I am experiencing feelings that make me want to share important things with everyone I can.

Be kind no matter what. I know that is a rather simple statement that we have all heard since the time when we were small children, but in the simplicity is emphasis. The only way I could possibly make the message any clearer is if I screamed it directly into your ear.

Life is hard enough without hatred. There is no room for that in this world or in our hearts and minds. We cling to hate because in the short term, it makes us feel good. It makes us think that we're of better moral character than others when we may not be. It makes us believe that our differences are to be admonished. It makes us think that hurting others is justified because we don't understand them. It makes us think that treating ourselves poorly is a good thing because we are delusioned enough to believe that we are not worth other peoples time or love. It makes us think that we should not give to those who are less fortunate because we have been taught that they deserve to go to bed on an empty stomach.

Hatred over time, begins to rot the mind, the heart, and our whole world from the inside out. The world around us feeds off of our hatred in the form of the twenty-four hour news cycle, advertising, politics, the military-industrial complex, the fast food-pharmaceutical-industrial complex, and more things that I can't think of at the moment.

The good news though, is that love is a choice. You can choose to love instead of hate. All you need to do is walk away from hate. Mind you, it is not easy, but it is damn well possible. People like to say that love alone can't save lives or provide any services, but it can. Love is action for the cause of happiness.

Love is the strength to admit that you were being an asshole and apologize. Love is the celebration and admiration of our differences. Love is choosing not to fire a bullet or insult someone when you know deep down that it will not solve any of our problems. Love is choosing to drink a glass of water over a can of soda because you know that you are worth love just as others are. Love is giving that homeless guy some money so he can buy a sandwich, or giving a struggling single mother you know some help around the house. Love is listening to, and taking seriously, a mentally ill person talk about why they feel the way they do, and trying to understand them. And taking them seriously even if you don't understand them. Love is adopting an old animal from a shelter to give them unconditional warmth and comfort in their final years of life.

Not a single one of us chose to be alive. That alone is reason enough to spread only compassion and kindness for one another (that includes animals).

If you read that all, you're a real G., and I thank you.

Never-ending love and peace to you all!

March 2024 Recap:

Man, this month has been pretty boring for the most part. I thought about it, and I've come to the conclusion that I thoroughly burned myself out in January, and getting myself to draw and animate again was a major pain in the ass for a long while.

One thing though, is I did make a let's play of Super Castlevania IV that I think turned out pretty well!

Yeah, I haven't really done much during this last month, and I think that's fairly evident due to the fact that I have not posted much through March. I also did not work on any animation for Zelduh II, either.

April 2024 Plans:

So far during this first week of April, I have been fairly productive artistically! I have been working on the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door mural quite a bit! I am quite proud of that, so hopefully by the end of the month that can get posted.

I think that burnout has finally run it's course, and I am actively trying to achieve more of a balance between time spent working on things I'd wanna post on the internet and support myself with, and unstructured free time. I just want to avoid another mildly depressing burnout period. If anyone needs to hear this, letting yourself relax really does increase your overall enjoyment of life and productivity in the long run.

For the Zelda parody, I do plan to work on it more this month, but I can't give any guarantees on when it will be finished or released. But know that I will work on it.

And of course, I will continue to work on sprite art as part of the Newgrounds: Zero Hour team.

I still need to do my collab entry for the Earth Day Collab, and I wanna make another submission or two for The Space Collab.

Basically, I plan to be a lot more productive and active this month than I have been over the past few weeks. I'm glad I've got things figured out and structured a bit more!

Art Updates:

Paper Mario Mural Teasers:

Another random piece of art I've worked on a bit:

As always, keep an eye out for some awesome shit, internet! And I really mean that this month as I've got things more balanced and figured out in general.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!

February 2024 Recap:

This month was alright. Not amazing, but certainly not bad by any means. It just went by very slowly, and it was a tad depressing for some reason. I wish I could put my finger on exactly why, but oh well. We got some new windows at my house, and I have mine open all the time. It is very nice having some fresh cool air coming in. It has definitely helped my allergies quite a bit!

Since I got the Cymbalta dosage increased, I have totally noticed it's effects optimize. My work ethic in regards to artwork has become much better, and I'm spending more time doing what I actually enjoy instead of just lazily watching stuff on YouTube or whatever. So mental health-wise, things are looking fairly nice!

For the Zelda II parody animation, I haven't worked nearly as much on that as I planned to at the beginning of the month. Though progress has still been made! I have re-recorded most of the dialogue and it is much better now, even though I'm not exactly a top-notch voice actor. And I am currently in the process of actually animating it. I have a couple small scenes done. I still have a long way to go, but It's definitely getting done.

The artwork and collab stuff I did was pretty fun! I was a part of the Stick Figure Collab, and I have submitted my entry for the R.I.P. General Collab. If you'd like, you can still enter the collab! The submission deadline is March 15th. I also recorded dialogue for another animation today. It's an old idea I've had written down in notepad for quite a long time, and I finally began to create it in some form.

One last thing that ended this month on a pretty good note was being accepted into the dev team for Newgrounds: Zero Hour! I'm pretty pumped to actually have my artwork and ideas in a game and to work with other people on a game! I am totally looking forward to it!

March 2024 Plans:

Nothing much to read here. I will be working on the Zelda II animation, doing some work for Newgrounds: Zero Hour, and I will soon begin work on a new banner image for my profile, and on my submission for the Earth Day Collab. Also I haven't worked on the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door mural in a while, and since the remake is coming out somewhat soon, I want to get to finishing that.

I'd also like to get back to making video game playthroughs, but on a new channel, because of inconsistent and poor quality. I'm sure it will be a nice month!

Art Updates:

My most recent art submission:

Work in progress of a Kirby and the Amazing Mirror fanart:

A scene of the Zelda II parody currently being inked and colored:

New additions to the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door mural:

Keep your eyes peeled yet again, because I'm working on some bomb ass shit!

Thank you for reading, have a nice day!

Hello! I think since it is the end of the month and I have recently completed some things that I will have an update post. I may do this at the end of every month from now on. Sounds like a cool idea! I like being able to look back and read about what I was doing at a random point in time.

January 2024 Recap:

Wasn't bad! I began it on a pretty good note post-psychedelic trip. Also, as I posted in my previous update, I have figured out that my plan for my life is to just dedicate all of my time and energy to my artistic projects and working on my artistic skills. From there I can make a living and support myself and all that good stuff.

Since the beginning of the month, I have been taking Cymbalta, and I've been feeling better somewhat! And even better good news is that as of now, my dosage was risen to achieve more optimal effects. Feeling pretty good about that.

I've been watching a load of Vinesauce over the past week or so. As was also in my previous update, I caught Covid. It is gone now, by the way. But Vinny got me into yet another Castlevania phase. Jesus I love Castlevania!

As far as art and Newgrounds shit goes, I've had a pretty good month. I've liked what I've drawn this past month for the most part, which hasn't happened in a while. I also had some fun doing some pixel art for the Newgrounds Office Depths Pixel Collab. I also completed my entry for the Newgrounds Valentine's Day Art Collab. I also completed backgrounds for my Zelda II parody animation. Those were an absolute slog to get through. I also have come up with lots of ideas for future animations and artworks. It is also very cool that my following experienced such a surge this month. I really appreciate that so much! I hope February has more of that in store.

February 2024 Plans:

My plans aren't much at the moment. Just plans relating to art projects basically. I have completed getting the audio together for the Zelda animation, so I will spend this month, and most likely a fair portion of March animating it. I am pretty excited to see this project come to fruition!

I hope I complete the animation sooner than later, and when I do, I'd like to get started on another one right away. Probably an animated parody of Duck Hunt, or a random original idea I have written down in my list I have on Notepad.

There will also be plenty of drawings and whatnot too! I have plans to draw a succubus and Nathan Graves from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, a portrait of Lady Rhea from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and a picture of Olive Ocean from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. I also wanna complete the Family Guy drawing I teased in my last post.

For collabs, the Valentine's one will go up in a couple weeks from now. And I am trying to think of an idea for the R.I.P. General Collab.

I do also want to work on more original content too. More original characters and concept art and stuff like that.

Not only do I want to do more art stuff, but I want to resume Let's Playing. I made some videos sparsely last year, but I still have unfinished walkthroughs of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Kirby's Dream Land 2 and I want to finish those. I'd also like to start a few more new walkthroughs. Probably of some Castlevania, Zelda, or Kirby Games. Possibly a Grand Theft Auto Game if I'm feeling ambitious. Doing this routinely is important to the plan I have for life because sustaining myself on art and animations alone may not be enough, and I enjoy making walkthroughs of video games. Also, this time around, I want to keep the quality consistent, and not have any super quiet, crappy commentary.

Over all, February will be a nice month, with plenty of new cool stuff from me! Keep your eyes peeled, haha!

Thank you for reading, have a nice day!
