Hey there people, I am not dead, I have just been going through quite allot this past year. Sorry for the long disappearance, but I am here to wish you all a happy new year, and to address what my plans are for this year.

So, it has been awhile since I participated in any collabs or drew anything in general. I have been mainly trying to draw and design stuff for my Youtube/Twitch pages. Trying to make them all fancy and pretty. I have been having an itch to participate in more collaborations recently though, and I want to do my best to get involved in more of them. I like seeing a bunch of people come together and combine ideas to make something cool and interesting. It reminds me of the old internet and is still why I am apart of Newgrounds. I don't want to make promises though, as I hate saying I will do something, then not follow through with it. So, I am generally stating here: "I will do my best to be more active in collaborations and drawing in general this year" I also have found a new expressed interest in music creation, and have secured myself a copy of Ableton 12 Lite, which I soon plan to learn to use and can hopefully create some bangers to share with you all. (If they suck, let me know. Just let me down gently, k?)

I also plan to do more content creation in general over on my Youtube and Twitch pages. They have been pretty bone dry content wise (Especially Twitch) and I want to change that. I love making let's plays, and art videos. but. I want to do something more, and feel like I am posting things that are worth-while and meaningful. Which is what I try to do here on Newgrounds. I plan to do let's plays yet, I just might make them live streams instead of dedicated videos. Maybe make videos dedicated to highlights or good clips/segments? Art videos will also still be released, they just might be less periodic than other content or ideas. I will most likely record them while making submissions for collabs like I did in the past. If you are still reading at this point, allow me to say this. if you are interested in getting something personally drawn by me; feel free to send me a DM or send me an email at: orangepixeljuice@gmail.com

Commissions are still open and available, and I would love to see what ideas you want expressed.

Also for those interested, my Youtube and Twitch are here

I also wanted to express my sincere gratitude to my followers here on Newgrounds. All 36 of you. I appreciate you sticking around this long, despite the drought in art and content here on Newgrounds, which is why I linked my stuff above. This way if you interested, you don't have to wait a long ass time for something from me. I also hope that I can inspire you to create things and share those things with the world. It is still unreal to me sometimes that I even have ANY followers of my art at all. It means the world to me, and I just wanted to express that to those of you who read this post.

Well, I am gonna cut it off here. I have allot of planning to do, and some browsing to catch up on here at NG (seeing as I was gone for over 5 months) Until next time, happy trails and lets hope 2025 isn't a dumpster fire.

Hey there people. It's been some time, and I wanted to make a little post and give an update.

The Ghost Collab has concluded and has been released! There is more to come, but you can check out what is available here: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/creeperforce24/cf24-s-ghost-collab

Unfortunately, I missed Pico Day 2024. Sad. But. I still plan to make a piece, and it'll be saved for next year and upload it then. This way, I can take my time and hopefully craft up a high-place winner! Now though, let's get on with addressing the main subjects.

My art plans for the future, are that I want to continue participating in collabs here. At this point, I might sound like a broken record; but I do love working on users collaboration projects, and seeing all of the work come together. It is fascinating and inspiring. I am going to be doing my best to try and find collabs that are new/current. All collaborations that I have been apart of, I joined in the tail-end of the project. I want to see what I can come up with when I have more time, and am not under a time-crunch. Not only do I believe this can help me produce higher quality work, but it will also help me feel less pressure to rush.

I now also wanted to alert anyone reading, along with my fans/followers of something great. I wanted to announce that I am taking commissions!

I want to start doing this so that I can both provide people with great art, and make a little side money. Times are tight right now, and the economy isn't fun. (As allot of adults in the current year know) So, if you are interested in getting some personalized art, feel free to email me or send me DM here in Newgrounds. We can discuss all the details there.

I also just wanted to let you know, I also have a Youtube Page! I make videos that mainly pertain to gaming and art. Both in video and live-streaming format! If you are interested, you can check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNSKDhT3r-6DaESIWU1cOrg

That is all for now, I will let you all know when I am working on a new project or collab. Until next time, peace out.

Hey there people, it's been a little while. I wanted to post this so you know what to expect. I want to try and work on two pieces for "The Ghost Collab" and "Pico Day" Deadlines for these are May 17th, and May 18th. If you are interested in joining, check out the links below!

Ghost Collab: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1534294

Pico Day: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1533626

I also just wanted to say thank you to all my fans and the people who follow my page. I am glad to be participating in all these collaborations. They are fun and provide a challenge. Not to mention, it is fun to see what people come up with when given a simple idea or premise.

On another note, I wasn't able to meet the deadline for the N-64 Collab. My submission for the Earth Day 2024 Collab, took too long, but I wanted to put in as much effort as possible; and didn't want to rush it. If you want to see my submission, check out my art section. Also. Be sure to check out the Earth Day Collab. It turned out great, and I loved the presentation of it.

That's all for now, so keep drawing and I'll see you again soon!

Hey there. I was just wanting to announce that I will be working on two new pieces. One of them is for the Earth Day collab which is hosted by EmsDeLaRoZ, the other will be for the N64 collab which is hosted by AlexToolStudio.

I encourage both my followers and anyone reading to join. Both premises seem very fun, and I cannot wait to see how the two collabs will be put together in the end. The deadline for the Earth Day collab is April 20th. The N64 collab deadline is April 26th. So get out there and make something! I will post the links for them down below.

Also, if you haven't seen them yet; I uploaded my submissions for the Sandwich collab, and the Easter Egg collab in my art portal. Check out my profile or follow the links below to see. Until next time, take care and keep drawing!

Hey there people. Just wanted to say that my piece for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon collab is done. However, I didn't make the original deadline and finished it so it could be done. I didn't want to leave it unfinished. It is available to view now, you can find it in my art section of my Newgrounds Bio or by the link provided: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cooltylerxxx/finding-hidden-riches

I also wanted to say I have been working on my submission for the Sandwich Collab, which is hosted by: fe3l1ngsk1lledd The deadline is on March 23rd, I encourage you to join me and fellow Newground users; I will have the link posted below. I am having fun working on mine and think it will be a great addition to the collaboration!

That's all for now. Hope you all have a good day and keep drawing!

Hey there. Been awhile. I'm making a post because I am surprised to see I actually gained a few followers! Shout out to you guys! I also wanted to address that I am proud of how the Valentines collab turned out. Lots of great art and new opportunities to see upcoming artists work and ideas.

I also wanted to make it known that I have been streaming my art on my Youtube page. I have an link for it on my profile but can drop it here if interested. Whenever I work on art. Whether for fun or collabs for Newgrounds, I usually go live and work on them there. I also wanted to try and expand by making a Twitch account, just for the hell of it. I will soon have some speed art videos posted on my youtube, and in the future want to do a drawing randomizer.

If anyone reads this. Hope you all had a good Valentines and expect more art to come soon. I wanted to try and make something for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Collab here on Newgrounds next. I hope you guys make something for it to.

This is my first ever blog post to Newgrounds, I've started using Adobe Illustrator last summer. So, I figured I minus well share some posts to it. I've been wanting to share/post my art, one way or another. So. For those who care, you can expect to see some Adobe Illustrator art. Hopefully, you don't find them to be too bad.
