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.
