It’s kind of a landmark day for me, hahaha. Along with it being my first holiday on Newgrounds, my first week of exams are officially over, and I finished my collab with the incredible Template88!!! She was communicative, straightforward, and patient enough to work through my personal hiccups huh huah. Huge thanks to her for making my first major collab an amazing experience! I’m really excited to share our project with all of you. It’s an interactive pixel art inspired by a couple of fighting games. SUPER NEWGROUNDS HYPER FIGHTER II: TURBO EDITION (the art collab) is available here! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/674369

All of the individual sprites and mini-portraits are available on my art thread! Along with that, I put up a general dump of assets I thought would be fun to feature. There are some things that I had fun making, but either didn’t work stylistically or just flat out didn’t make sense, haha. If you’re interested in my process, feel free to check it out! There’s some fun and kooky stuff in there.  http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1405466/2

It was one of my major goals to work with other artists on Newgrounds. I’m just so thankful that I was given the opportunity to do so. I honestly feel like I’ve grown a lot since I’ve started posting here. I’ve been a lot more engaged in the community and I’ve been getting better about documenting my work. I’ve still got a long way to go, but overall, I’m pretty pleased with my progress, haha. The users on this site been so incredibly supportive and helpful. Thanks to everyone that’s gone out of their way to reach out to me. I can’t wait until I’m at a point where I can contribute a lot to this site as well.

Have a great Pico Day, everyone!
