If you are blocked by someone else then please do not get me involved by asking me to contact the person who blocked you on your behalf to unblock them.


There have been at least three users I can count who did this in the past three years. It should be common sense that people have boundaries and I shouldn't have to say this, but here we are.

And for all that talk about how if blocking people meant that someone won an argument, he blocked those who called him on his shit and wasted his time reporting newgrounds to the feds over nothing.


Ain't that a kick in the pants? Oh well, was entertaining while it lasted. Meanwhile that motherfucker Dioshiba is still on the loose having a laugh about this whole thing and drew the above....


Oh wait a minute hi how are you?


Edit: oh that's cute

Hello everyone, apologies for not being as attentive to updating my blog as of late. Putting aside any shenanigans or BS that have been happening on Newgrounds as of late which, to be honest looking back in hindsight isn't really worth mentioning in this post in specific I think I would like to get straight to the things I've been up to.


While things have slowed down a bit on my end, I've been mainly focusing on completing projects that I have been meaning to get done for some time. Some have already been released and others I'm not exactly in a position to talk about openly. That said I haven't really been doing a whole lot of personal art work as of late because for me personally I've actually only recently got back to work after taking a vacation through the past week to get re-centered a bit mental health wise so it has not been a primary focus for me to draw a whole lot as of late.


However, that does not mean I haven't been doing other things.


As for where developing my personal website is at, I have decided to work on it by using Nekoweb moving forward since I've found myself having issues with how Neocities has been functioning where, for whatever reason the latter seems to be struggling to update the pages that I've been working on whenever I try to update it. That's one of the things I've been meaning to bring up for some time but have never exactly mentioned it for the past couple of weeks.


So I suppose that is the big thing I wanted to get out of the way.


As for other things, well last week I've ended up getting lucky at the Casino off a game of black jack where I actually managed to triple what I came in with before I lost everything at the game, and all because I managed to match my two aces with the dealer's ace on a side bet and got the bonus win. The other thing too is that, just for my own amusement I am going to be taking some adult learn how to play hockey classes and do something that I always wanted to do for some time but never really had the right mindset to learn it. We'll see where that goes from there if I have found a new hobby that I'd be willing to do moving forward in real life.


Speaking of which it seems like the NHL Playoff finals are looking to be a repeat of what happened last year between Florida and Edmonton. Kind of hoping the Oilers get it this time and they learn from their mistakes from the 2024 playoffs but I wouldn't be counting on it as the matter of the fact winner personally.


Oh... And before I forget I did get a PS5 controller for my PC so I will likely be doing some planning for doing stream schedules. Hoping that I can do that for both making art and a few video games just for hahas but, I can make no promises on when that will be.


Til Next time.

So hey fellow peeps of Newgrounds.


I'm sure you already saw on @LuckoDaStars news post but in the case you haven't, The animation I've been working on with his team will officially be out tomorrow as of writing this lovely Friday night.


iu_1389707_3993712.webp


My hand was mainly with the pixel art asset creation and a little bit of clean up here and there. Many of the other animators also worked hard on this to make this project see the light of day so personally I'm very stoked to actually see this materialize thanks to the efforts of the group! For me it was a blast to work on!


Whether you happen to love fan animations, love a bit of pixel art or want to support independent animators doing their thing, then please check this out when it comes time!

HELLO NEWGROUNDS IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME!!!


First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for the lack of any meaty updates as of late. Things have gotten very busy for me in the past few months and it got to a point where a lot of my energy had to be conserved in order to keep doing what I have been doing.


ANYHOW, With that aside I do want to give you all an update on some of the things I've been up to for the past few months.


WHAT HAS DIO BEEN UP TO AS OF RECENT?


Putting aside any of the art I have uploaded, If you want to get a glimpse into a few bits of art that I do in my spare time then check out my sketchbook thread! I've also been making a few rounds into a few collaborations on here and on other websites as well.


ADDITIONALLY, I've also been working a bit more on the Starfire Vs. Blaze animation with @LuckoDaStars. The animation is close to being done so it should be released relatively soon on Youtube.


The other thing too is that if you are like me and ended up donating to the Once Upon an Internet Newgrounds Documentary, I did too! So if you see me lurking around on the discord server I'll likely be hanging around there to see how the progress is developing. I've also recently donated a few bucks to Mindwave on Kickstarter as well, after having tried the game myself, I felt that as going to be a kick ass game worth supporting.


FUTURE PLANS

I'm still working on getting a new website for my portfolio. It's been put on the side for the most part since other priorities have taken place, but I am trying to learn a little more of HTML so I can utilize NeoCities to do this so I'm hoping that once that is done, I can launch the website as soon as I am able to and be able to have a more organized and professional place to host my content. I don't have a specific launch date for the website yet, but stay tuned. I'm hoping that once I get the majority of it done then I can give a specific launch date for the website.


AS OF RIGHT NOW I'm also intending to explore into other areas for working on my craft. I feel that I've done a lot of work on the technical side of my artistic skills, but I don't often get the chance to explore the expressive side of it which is why I've been dabbling more with satirical takes on the news and posting some original content as of late. Don't worry, I'll still do the occasional fan piece every now and then but it's not going to be as frequent as I have been posting fan art in the past few years.


I'm also hoping to do some more animation stuff of my own, hoping to do a small clip and start honing more of my own skills in that area since I've been slowly getting back into that.


RANDOM THOUGHTS

So RECENTLY I have found out that the Bruins have made multiple trades. Can't say that I'm too happy with what they got for some of them and what they got for Marchand actually ticked me off a bit. I'm still a loyal B's fan at heart but honest to God if they don't realize Sweeney is the problem I don't have much hope they'll be back in the playoffs anytime soon. It's actually been more fun to watch local AHL games than it has been to watch the Bruins.


BUUUUUUT if I had to make a pick for who I think has a shot at the Stanley Cup I'd say Edmonton has a good shot. McDavid has proven in the four nations game that he has one hell of an edge on game. BUUUUUT if anything I'm happy that the NHL inspired me to pick up ice skating again in my spare time.


As for other things, It's been a quiet few months. A little stressful with a few stupid situations here and there but none of them really worth going over in a news post. I'm just appreciating the fact that I'm still kicking around and practicing my skill for what I can do.


Until next time!

Truthfully I've been having a hard time finding the right words to describe how grateful I am to be a part of the community and give specific shout outs. It's been an awesome year on Newgrounds.


I could do a whole recap on everything I did, but rather than go through every thing I did this month I want to highlight a couple of things:


Collabs I organized:


Collabs I Participated in:


Some front page submissions:


The interview with Aalastier/BottleTopBillFanClub


Personal Favorite Submissions I made:


Some Final Words:

2025 will be a great year. Anyone who says otherwise is too distracted by all this other shit.


At the end of the day what you put into the year will make the outcome of the year and for what it's worth, 2024 was by far a great year for all the ups and downs I had and I only hope to outdo what I have done this year.


And then some.


Special Thanks (especially for putting up with my nonsense):

Hey everyone.


The first thing I'd like to get out of the way is that, for everyone who participated in The Great Homer Collab it's really no secret at this point that it's been an overwhelming success not just within less than the first 24 hours it's been out so I want to get it out of the way that this isn't just a success on my part, but for everyone involved in making the collab.

iu_1319120_3993712.webp


Truthfully, I want everyone who participated to feel that they've earned the recognition for it, not because I organized it but because more than 100 users had the courage to step up and take a part of something that I think truly highlights one of the best things about Newgrounds when many artists come together. I'd like to once again thank @Taytonium for the inspiration behind the Collab, @TomFulp for being willing to reschedule the collab deadline, and I'd also like to thank you, the artists.


Hell I think the amount of favorites and views that it has gained in one day speaks for itself:

iu_1319119_3993712.png

As for me...


Where does Dioshiba plan on going from here?


The first thing that I would like to get out of the way is that I will not be organizing any more collabs for the forseeable future. Give it about a year or two before I organize another one.


This is in part because as I have had a couple of lessons as I was organizing this on where doing this on my own can be a bit difficult even if it's just for an art collab. TRUTHFULLY, I didn't expect the success to be this much for The Great Homer Collab to hit in some of the ways it did. There were a few things that I came to realize that I knew it would be but to see how it evolved from back in July into now I realize that there's only so much one organizer can do in the face of having to make sure everything goes smoothly.


This is also added on to the fact that, on the side I'm doing paid work too and between having to take care of those two things on top of doing a full time job well... it's left me little time to focus on a few other things that I'd like to do with some of my own personal artwork. And I'm not just talking about fan art as much as I am talking about original works I haven't shown because I don't feel they're at a point where I'm comfortable publicly showing them yet. It's a choice of my own doing but it was one that I was willing to make when I did start the collab.


So there's that insight I'd like to add. However, one of the most positive things to come out of this from a realistic standpoint is that I've gained experience in organizing a project and I think there's some merits that can go a long way with that.


So there's that. Once I've gained a bit more experience I might get back into doing another collab but for now, the time is nigh for me to move on to some of my own things and focus on what I gotta do for some of my own work. It's been a blast organizing TGHC and when the day comes, I think it'll be interesting to see what happens next once I've picked up a few new skills to and ideas to organize a project more efficiently. Until then, see you around!
