GUESS WHO'S BACK MOTHAFUCKAZZZZ! >:D
No but seriously, when Newgrounds needed me most, I returned. And it feels great to finally be to the only place on the internet where I can authentically be myself and not worry about offending some crybaby fucktards by literally just doing what I like to do. For those who are unaware of who I am, I used to go by FrostPen hence the name as of writing this. But I've rebranded to RaymationStudios! I was an artist here who occasionally drew his ocs and other people's ocs. I never drew characters from popular francizes because I purposefully wanted to keep a low profile on Newgrounds so as not to start an online career before I felt I was truly ready. All this was just a place where I could show off stuff I made in my freetime, everything I made was for me first and for the viewer last. While I was here, I ended up making a few friends and I quickly made a name for myself as a funny individual who made some really cool art, music and animation occasionally. A guy who could do a little bit of everything! But my time here was kinda short lived as I realized this site was so fuckin' sigma, I was immature in comparison. And I kinda ended up making a fool of myself over in the forums. (I'd like to assure y'all, I'm not that same pathetic asshole I used to be anymore. No hard feelings okay?) So I ended leaving with the intention to not return until I felt I was mature enough to actually be a respectable individual on the site. I would say I've gotten a lot more emotionally mature, (As vulgar as I like to act.) and I'm also 18 now there's that! :)
So a lot has happened to me since I was last here. For starters, I graduated Highschool and very soon I'll start community college! My life has gotten a lot better, back when I was on NG my parents marriage was falling apart, I was still dealing with abuse, I was unable to cope with school, I was going through some tough things which contributed to me being a piece of shit back when I was here. But my life is amazing now, my parents are divorced, my mother has been able to take proper care of me and my brother, me and my brother's relationship has become absolutely amazing, and now that I'm not in school, I've had lots of time to self-discover, find out who I am and how I deal with life. And I honestly feel like the way I am now, I can take on any challenge that comes my way. While I was not on Newgrounds, I was mostly alone just existing and doing what I wanted. But in recent months, I've reconnected with some old friends and made some new ones, and I feel like my time with them kinda prepared me for being in an online space again. But it also helped me remember what I loved about NG so much. I never had to be too close to anyone, I can know a few cool people but no one had to be my friend and I didn't have to be anyone's shoulder to cry on. (People vent to me a lot and as much as I like helping people, it's become tiring to be frank.) People can just appreciate me and my work from a distance. And that's why I'm here again. I have no intention to make many friends here, but I won't say I'm unwilling to be friends if I think your a cool dude.
Enough about me, now it's time for the stuff most of you guys actually care about. (It's fine, I honestly don't care lol.) I can confidently say that my art, music and animation has improved greatly since I was last here. I'm gonna share some stuff I made to catch y'all up! As for the future, I intend to start drawing characters from francizes now. I think I've gotten over that quirky little fear of mine and frankly, I think I'm ready to build a fanbase here and become more well known. I've actually been scouted for the art portal and the audio portal while I was gone to, which means everything I make is gonna go straight to the front page. Basically what I'm saying is, no more low profile. I'm coming for that fame suckers!
But in conclusion, I'm just glad to be here again. Don't expect me to do too much for now, I've still got life stuff I need to prepare for. But in the foreseeable future, we're gonna be ramping things up a bit. But yeah, that's about everything. Can't wait to see y'all again! :D
