cheesy 1 year anniversary post

Posted by wonkypaws - March 25th, 2023


so, at the beginning of last year, my main art platform at the time went down in flames due to one of its creators being outed as a pedophile (gross oversimplification of the whole situation, but this news post isn’t focused on that website). 

i had previously heard of newgrounds due to my obsession with friday night funkin’, and exactly one year ago today, on march 25th 2022, i made the decision to move to newgrounds, and it was honestly the best decision i’ve ever made.


in 2022 (a very rough year for me), i grew tremendously as an artist and as a person, and it’s honestly all thanks to this website. i honestly don’t know where i would be if it weren’t for newgrounds. admittedly, i don’t really know many people on here (because i have the social skills and confidence of a rock), but i still have a lot of people to thank.


thank you to:


the art forum - for being very patient with my over-dramatic younger self lol. for real though, thank you to everyone on the art forum (especially the regulars, such as @Skoops and @PerKGrok) for continuously giving me very helpful advice!!!! without you, my art wouldn’t be at the place it is today


@PilotSpikey - for commenting on, reviewing, & critiquing almost all of my art. your input helps so much!!! <3


@DenThatDude, @Kerzid, @ElsieMeraki, @Eldritchsaxes, @Oddlem, and @picolocity366 - for being awesome people!!! even though we don’t talk very much, i consider all six of you friends of mine <3


@ErasedMe and @Slidebrain - for supporting me by putting me on an underrated artists list in my early days on this website. it boosted my confidence so much, since i had just started learning how to draw humans and i was feeling very behind


all 74 of my followers, and any future followers i may receive - for enjoying my art enough to click the ‘follow’ button


anyway, i’m going to go continue to procrastinate on drawing lmao

(fr tho, thank you guys for everything <3)

Love ya womky, and happy one year anniversary!
You're right though, we should talk more then we already do...
And ideas on how to rectify that?

thank you!!! love you too, no homo/hetero
im not sure tho, this site does have a dm feature so we could use that

@wonkypaws let's

BRO I GSFHHDD. You’ve done amazing this year, and it’s so awesome to see the amount of progress you’ve made. Keep up the amazing work dude!! Also if you ever want to talk more I’m totally down for that

this makes me so happy omg,, tysm!!! im down for it as well

@wonkypaws
Hell yeah dude, I’m a bit more active on Discord and Insta. But I’m also totally cool with the PM system here

unfortunately im not allowed discord or instagram,,, it sucks but there’s nothing i can do about it D:
im also cool with the dm system here tho!!!!

glad you consider me a friend, your really nice to talk too. also happy one year anniversary!

tyty!!!! you’re really nice to talk to too :D

Happy anniversary!

thank you!!!

Happy Anniversary! Can't wait to see how you'll improve over the next year.

@wonkypaws thanks :)

Hey @wonkypaws, sorry for not answering your post sooner. Life took me away and my studies held me captive for a prolonged period of time. I stopped drawing and wrote more, as being in a school environment inspires me to do so. But I might be back on NG soon. Anyways, thanks for the shoutout and I am proud that you kept doing what you love and that you reached your goals here.

Keep going, the sky is the limit !

P.S
Don't be sad if I disappear from here sometimes. Consider me an internet nomad and an art nomad as well. I can't stay in one place and can't stick to one art form either. It's just the way I am lol.

it’s okay!!! take as long as you need
i’m happy to hear you’ve been doing well, i look forward to seeing you return if you do decide to come back,,,
i hope you keep doing what you love as well!
