Welcome to My Page!

Hey there!! How are you? My name is Stormy and I'm an artist! I mostly make illustrations, but sometimes I make animations, music, and flash games!

My illustration styles range from;

Vintage Comic Simplistic Whimsical Retroetc

I also practice style imitation from time to time!

My main inspirations are;

🌈Elena Kucharik 🌈Sarah Kay 🌈Bill Watterson 🌈Savannah Alexandra

My Music, Flash games, and animations vary in content, as I like to experiment with storytelling and similar elements.

My goal is to continue pushing my creative boundaries, take on new challenges, and to derive personal satisfaction with my art. You can find my work in the art section on my profile, and on my other socials, which can be found on the "Links" page on my website.

Thank you for looking at my page. Let's explore the boundless world of creativity!

Happy Holidays!

As 2023 comes to a close and Christmas is approaching, I want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays!

Usually, I would wait until the very end of the year, till after Christmas to post my recap, but I feel as if now would be a good time to reflect on accomplishments and what I hope to do next year.

Doodlepup's Missing Wagon

Games like "Doodlepup's Missing Wagon" and "Doodlepup's Feeding Time" were unexpected wins for me. I only started learning code last year, so the positive feedback on both games has been awesome. Getting featured on the "Best of the Month" list was a pleasant surprise. I can't thank you enough for the support.

Artistry

While I may not be overly confident in my work, I do feel I've made progress throughout the year. I've been playing around with art as a means of self-expression. I like not being bound by one certain style and I feel like I've accomplished a lot of different things this year regarding art such as;

• learning to format comics properly
• learning different rendering and lining techniques
• learning to animate a teeny tiny bit better compared to previous works (which will be presented near Christmas as I'm almost done with a cartoon)
• Getting frontpaged a few times

While fan stuff is fun, I want to tell my own stories and develop original characters in the future. I find it funny, because looking back on my art, I realize I haven't drawn as many finished pieces as I thought I did. Half of them are in my head, the other half I like to keep to myself I guess, but maybe I'll put them on paper in 2024.

Other Milestones I Made on Newgrounds

Through the year, I've received significant support and kindness from various members on the site. Meeting new people has been rewarding, and I've recently reached over 500 followers. Never in my life have I expected people to be interested in my art, actively seeking updates on my posts.

The appreciation is genuinely flattering, and a simple "thank you" doesn't feel like enough for those who take the time to comment, critique, vote on my work, and interact with me. Your support means a lot to me. I've been eager to talk with like-minded peeps here and talk about life and making stuff. To those who have shown an interest in me for that reason, I appreciate it. Thank you.

For 2024

2023 brought progress in skills and personal growth. Even though I shifted focus from content creation to real-life stuff, creative pursuits are still on the table. Balancing it all is tricky but doable.

For 2024, I want to tackle hurdles and develop a more resilient attitude towards my art. It's a reminder that I create for my enjoyment, not just for others. While sharing and connecting is rewarding, I'm aiming for a more positive mindset in those interactions.

I encourage those who are reading to do the same, to make stuff for you. Your individuality is something that no one can take from you. Embrace it!

I have a small bucket list of what I want to accomplish next year on Newgrounds;

• Make at least one flash game
• Go to a Newgrounds meetup
• animate more
• join more collabs
• talk with more people
• GET A FRICKIN NEWGROUNDS SHIRT GAWDD!!
• Host a collab of my own
• Draw more!! I didn't draw enough!!

In 2023, I've encountered both positive and negative experiences with people. I achieved a lot of private and personal goals too but I won't delve into specifics. While the year had its ups and downs, there's no need to dwell on the past. Keep your chin up. Here's to a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Happy October!!

Hello, my friends! I'm back at it again with another update. October update this time. I know I've been a bit radio-silent for a while besides the bimonthly art posting, but I promise it's not without reason!!

I've been very busy you see, both irl and with my content. I've been making tremendous progress on my personal stuff, but we'll get into that.

So what's been holding me up? Why have I been quiet? You remember those two games that I talked about making in August? Those are still very much happening and I've been making some progress on that with concepts, names, storylines, music, etc.

The First Game

Chromapteran was originally intended to have a demo ready for a Halloween release, but my personal life got in the way, and I couldn't dedicate the necessary time to it. I don't want to reveal too much about the characters and story just yet, but I can share that the game will feature character selection, spoken dialogue, and combat!

I'm well aware of the coding challenges, especially considering it's a flash game, and the significant time investment it requires. Currently, I'm focusing on preparing the assets needed for the game

It takes slight inspiration from Nightmare Cops, though the combat won't be NIGHTMARE COPS level...because well It's only me working on this game right now....and I'm also not veteran Newgrounder levels of good at animation.

Here's some concept doodles;

(I've yet to remake the idle and walk cycles because my STUPID computer failed to backup the files. but here's screenshots of the WIPs)

special thanks to @soiimenta for helping me with the main character designs!

https://soiimenta.newgrounds.com/

her art is awesome you should look at it.

I also had a title screen ready, but that is lost in time as well. Oh well, with all work lost comes an opportunity to make it better the second time around.

I want to delve into the details, but explaining the plot seems stupid considering a demo is on the horizon. I anticipate its release in a few months. Unlike 'Doodlepup's Missing Wagon,' which took quite a while due to my initial experimentation with player controls and learning from a more experienced coder, this project should progress faster now that I have a solid understanding of the basics.

In the end, only time will tell. I'm a busy little lady afterall.

I'm very excited share it with everyone!

The Second Game

Now this game is something I've been wanting to do for forever. I've gone through many many concepts and ideas but I settled on this one because I find it the most interesting.

This one will not be in development for a long while. I wanted this to be a female-protagonist centered FPS game. Given my coding knowledge and my lack thereof, I might just make it a shooter beat-em up. It truly depends on if I can execute combat as well as I think and feedback received from Chromapteran. This one will be fully voiced and more experienced people are to be hired with the making of this game.

as much as I'd love to share the character concepts, I'm not quite ready since I haven't nailed character nor level designs I like yet.

Other Projects;

• I'm working on a few other projects as well. I'm contributing to the Sketch Collab 2023 as well as a few others. Safe to say I have a lot of work to do and have no WIPs to show regarding that. But no matter, since people will see it later when the collabs come out. They're all animation based, and having not practiced animation in a hot minute, I'm excited to be working on those.

• I wanted to make a Halloween cartoon centered around The Beatles, but I decided not to go through with it since the comedic writing ended up being poorly timed and I was at a loss of how to fix it without rewriting the whole script. But I do have other cartoon ideas in mind and in the works!

• I have commissions open, and I work on them intermittently. I also might create unexpected games in between working on my larger projects.

• I updated my website since the graphics were fucking up on the old one. Check it out here.

Personal stuff:

On a more personal note, I've been struggling with the need to make illustrations before sharing updates or concepts. This perfectionism has led to my recent radio silence in the art department. But I've also been busy with commissions and I assure you; I've been hard at work behind the scenes.

I also lost like...all of my old stuff and progress. Some were salvaged, but my old laptop caught fire because the battery exploded. (so fucking metal!! ) so I put together a new one from the 17 backup laptops I have to hack into government agency networks and airdrop pictures of Gene Ween to provincial officials.

On a positive note, my efforts in various ventures have been financially rewarding.

While I missed the Newgrounds NJ meet due to unforeseen circumstances, I have my sights set on future meetups. Bills must be paid, after all! And yes, getting a Newgrounds shirt is still on my to-do list... I have a beautiful outfit idea for my very first meetup teehee <3

Thank you guys for being patient and reading this far if you made it this far.

If you're interested in commissions, dm me ($10 USD for a fullbody) which is the full extent of what I'm doing rn.

Happy Halloween! Another update coming in December unless something big and awesome happens.

Hello Hello

Hello, friends. It's time for another update, and this time around, I might just let this one stick around a bit longer.

I've been deleting my previous updates to keep my "Welcome to my Page" post at the forefront. It's a small preference of mine. Both that, and I dont wanna overshare progress. I like when things remain as a surprise. That being said, let's get on with it.

On a personal level, things are great! I've been on a positive trajectory, embracing my true self without the need for pretenses around others. I've also been mindful about the company I keep, weeding out negative influences and focusing on keeping positive people in my circle. Im especially not associating with a fellow content creator some of you may know (I programmed a game of theirs here on Newgrounds) due to morals and personal reasons. Some of you might know who im talking about, some not, but I feel it's worth mentioning. It's been quite the journey, and I'm content with where I am now. We're moving forward, gamers, and we will continue to do so.

Doodlepup's reception has consistently amazed me. The reviews and votes received have made me feel like a real game developer™️, and that's a sentiment I can't quite get over. I wanna eventually explore new programming languages. But for now, I'm sticking to my roots for now. (I love you, Flash ❤️)

Speaking of creative pursuits, alongside my art, I've been chipping away at a couple of projects. Ive had art block for a bit, but the fact that some of you enjoy my work regardless warms my heart. I've got two game ideas brewing—one slightly more ambitious than the other.

I'm working with a couple of friends on the bigger one. The smaller one is more of a "me" thing as I just wanna make stuff that I and my friends would personally enjoy. 10 out of 10 would recommend doing stuff for you instead of other people. Feels nice. Nonetheless, I wanna post it anyway because the Newgrounds API is just so fun to play with.

Doodlepup took half a year to develop, and I'm hopeful that the upcoming game won't take as long. But hey, if it does, so be it. I wanna share some concepts that I hope will be fun to play around with, adding a bit of extra charm. Its like...a digital fidget cube.

Had an idea for the play button for the game. it's a first for me to delve into "complex math" stuff in Flash (its basic mathmatics). Surprisingly, I made it out alive, despite my mathematical shortcomings (I'm really fucking stupid)

I've also got a couple of sketches to share, one of which was kindly done by Cootie. As we gear up for this new game, I hope you guys like it. If not, totally understandable. The vibe might not be your thing. Or the game might end up being too boring for you. But now matter what, I'm gonna try to make it enjoyable for as many people as I can while also enjoying the time I spend working on it. I'm aiming for a Newgrounds-friendly vibe without diving into unnecessary edginess. Your support means the world, and I can't wait to reveal more as we progress.

In other news, I have been making cartoons. Some are either too short to post on Newgrounds, so I just havent bothered uploading them, or I refuse to finish them because its like.. "Omg this is so funny" then I turn around and its all "what the fuck was i thinking this is dull as hell."

Ive been meaning to make a trailer/teaser for the bigger game I'm going to be working on. But voice acting and music arent really my fortes. So im just waiting for motivation to roll around while simultaneously working on my smaller game.

Ive been working hard!! Not only on projects but in IRL. So we ball.

Im doing great and I hope you guys are too.

Hello lovelies!

I wanna start off by saying that this year on Newgrounds has been amazing! I've been able to create freely without any limitations. I even learned how to code a little bit!

The people I've met on Newgrounds especially have encouraged me to keep going and has been the main inspiration behind my projects.

During this year, I completed a lot. I want to make a small list of things I've accomplished.

Milestones;

-Made Doodlepup's Feeding Time, my first ever real video game, in which people adored to my surprise!

- Made 2 cartoons! Both of which I got to collab with my lovely bestie @CootieGirl

-Experimented with the watercolor style, drawing more vintage things, and moving onto drawing comics (finally)

- Reconnected with old friends, making amends and improving my mental health as a whole, making me a better person entirely.

Throughout early 2022, I've been through a lot. Some things more negative and personal than I'd like to give away to the public, but some more positive. I've been improving myself tremendously, meeting new friends and rekindling old ones. Both parties are super supportive and I couldn't be more appreciative with the support I've recieved. I'm so happy with myself. I've learned to love myself and I've learned to appreciate certain people and the little things more. I have a newfound love for a site that I never thought I'd be able to feel comfortable posting on, but I did.

Granted, I have met some who discourage me and attempt to make me feel bad, but the positivity contradicts the negative and I couldn't be happier.

With 2022 ending off so well, I do hope that 2023 has better in store and I wish the same for everyone on this site, no matter who you are.

For the people who actually look forward to the stuff I make, I do want to let some know that I am working on a sequel for Doodlepup and I'll be drawing more comic strips centered around the Pico characters. I'll also be seeing about more collaborations with Cootie and my other friends. A few animated cartoons are in the works, featuring different voice actors and artists.

You are lovely and no matter who you are, I hope you win the internet >:D

Thank you for making the end of this year wonderful.
