What can I say except Thank you?

Since the last post, I hesitate to continue the "Thank you for the 100 Views" very few users react to these posts, what's the point of continuing to make these posts which certainly, I thank for this visibility that I would never have thought to have and give a little bonus of why it motivated me to do this or that drawing.

But on the other hand, I had already spoken about how, I would have liked to interact a little more with the forum rather than making thank you posts, I'm afraid that it will quickly become redundant to always repeat the same thing.

And especially with the post of 10 years of sharing the internet, I no longer have the same ambitions as 10 years ago, now, I do my drawings without stress and create stories if the desire comes to me.

Or even, give news? Well what can I tell you? I have no idea how to interact with a forum? especially since I'm French and I use Google Translate to make myself understood on a mostly English site. A question I have: How do I interact with the Newgrounds community ?

Just, I don't know, I do things randomly, at worst, I thank you (again) for giving me views for my LOVE drawing collection, I still hope to continue, even if I'm in my period where I don't draw much, anyway.

BI BI to you and see you next post

10 years that I publish drawings on the internet and... we need to talk, I think I have things to share more seriously.

Being an artist/creator, even if it remains just a simple hobby that we share for fun, there is not even a story of commission or anything on my side, well even that, it remains very complicated, we often take the head for insignificant things and that eats up creativity.

I had this impression of publishing my drawings as if I were a Youtuber, being too focused on the views, comments or likes that I will receive, while... there is nothing, everything is even calm, I should not worry about it.

I know that I have already spoken several times about this subject, but as I had already said, this mentality for a creator is purely toxic, you have to put yourself in my place.

When I grew up in my adolescence. YouTube is exploding, totally unknown people who are mostly losers become superstars overnight by making such varied content, which pleases millions of people.

And maybe it would work elsewhere than on YouTube and the proof is that it worked, you just have to see all the independent works that were originally just simple projects between friends or by a single person become a bomb on social networks, including YouTube in the front line, and that there are now millions who are fans of this kind of project overnight and that even today, it is still the case.

And in my head, I thought that my creations could explode overnight, even go from a simple internet meme, you never know, just keep drawing and make it seem like nothing, and that overnight.

Boom, people love VIC MK3 or whatever nickname I would have put, people would have loved my characters without knowing why, But just, having a level of fame, even a small level of fame, having achieved something that left its mark.

But there you go, that day has never happened for ten years and this mentality has become a bad habit and I know very well that I am not the only one who grew up like that and that there are other people who think more or less like me, well, I try not to think like that anymore, but you don't get rid of these bad habits by snapping your fingers.

It takes a lot of time, even years to get back to healthier habits, to be realistic about the situation and to tell yourself that in the end, if most things have been successful, it is just a huge stroke of luck, almost a miracle that it can happen.

And even, I have also seen that success and fame for some people has made them depressed, that these people would have preferred to stay in their corner and never have had success, because these people just wanted to create things for fun.

But when you now have millions of people waiting for what you're going to release, it would have to be a real masterpiece, better than the first time.

The crazy pressure that it must be, it's just impossible, but now, I know, I haven't lived like a star, but I understood that I would like not to be in this same crazy situation.

I was told something on discord that I shouldn't expect anything from others and that no one owes me anything in return, so... if I don't owe anything to others, then I think I should stop worrying about all this theater that makes me stay hours in front of my screen for nothing.

I'm not a star, I've always been a loser and in a way, I've always assumed it, and it helps me to react and evolve better in the right direction, for some time now, I've already been focusing on the essentials and being more active outside than being in front of my screen.

I've been doing it for a while now, but I didn't have the words to express it, I just hope that people will understand me and at the same time help other people who are much more lost than me.

The Internet, or social networks in particular, have sold us a dream that is not for everyone, this dream can make people toxic who basically lead a more or less normal life.

He could have had a job that was certainly boring, that didn't earn enough for their living, but at least they wouldn't be alone and would meet people in real life, and not in front of a screen that tells promises that no longer hold now.

For me, it's time to focus on more essential, more realistic things and I will continue to draw when I was bored, of course, but at least I won't do it for statistics, but for me.

It's a long way to go, a very long and boring evolution, but I will do it to prove that I am not a loser, but a man who will have finally evolved in the right direction with new goals in mind.

Don't be alone, don't be stupid, be yourself, do what you really like and maybe everything will be fine. Bi Bi to you, until next post.

Well... thanks again Newgrounds for giving me views and... meh, I have nothing special to say about these drawings.

Let's say that right now, I've been sick for a week and I'm getting back on my feet and I admit I don't have all my ideas in place, I'm just trying to rest and think about something else.

There's also the fact that I'm finally tired of writing blocks of text, of course, I love talking and telling my passion for drawing and how I was able to create this or that work.

But let's say that on discord, there are certain servers that don't share the same passion that I have for drawing, and also that certain bad habits remain despite my promises to want to evolve.

but I think I'll make a special post for that, in any case, thanks for the views and BI BI to you, until next post.

oh god... it happened so quickly... well from my point of view, but above all the drawing is officially the first NSFW drawing that I was able to make.

So of course, we're not in a hentai level, it's just a naked girl

And the funny thing is that the model I based myself on to make the cloud woman... she wasn't naked, she was a swimmer in a swimsuit, and I did this drawing as a challenge done in a hurry, because in the discord server where I discovered this image.

Many people that day couldn't stop talking about it and wondering how he was going to know how to draw it correctly given its complex position.

And I, at one point in the conversation, I was like: Hold my beer

so, I took my graphics tablet, I took the model and I just copied it from the original photo as follows:

I added the nudity on top of that, because I was so into this drawing and seeing that it really wasn't that bad of a drawing for once, well just go all in on the delirium, it's a divinity who controls the clouds, what does it matter to her to hide her nudity, seeing as she is free as the air and no one is likely to see her.

Well, after this intellectual wanking and a correction later, it gives the final result that I published on Newgrounds and of which I am really very proud of this drawing,

Up until this day, I never thought I would know how to correctly draw a girl or even a naked person, I always thought I didn't have the skills to do it, and now, this drawing and the others from my collection Element Woman, here is the link:

this collection is a repressed liberation of an important stage that an artist must pass at least once in his life: Nudity

Knowing the history of art, making artistic nude paintings is the norm, you have to try it at least once in your life, especially if you make living models in fine arts for the lucky ones .

It's not obligatory, but it's a step that at least one artist will take in their life and even change their habits, just by seeing all the adult content that there is on Newgrounds... I have my own idea.

But anyway, I'm not going to beat around the bush for much longer, very good, I drew a naked girl and end of story and I will do others, because in my opinion, there is no better to annoy the censors by putting a girl with her breasts in the air, while a shirtless guy... does that shock anyone?

Anyway, I could go on talking about it for hours given how much nudity sensitizes me and I understand that people can be shocked, but let me clarify, I'm not talking about sex, but about nudity. even if... yes the subject interests me a lot, but I don't want it to go too far

On this, you have the comments to see what you think about nudity, for me, I already have my opinion, BI BI everyone and I thank you for liking my first NSFW drawing

Hi Newgrounds, today, some improvements and news of the day #1

I've been wanting to do this for a while, and now it's done. I was finally able to change my username to @vicmk3

The old nickname, well, it used one of my email addresses, and it was just rubbish, now I have a new username which sticks better and will be easier for people who want to look for me on the internet.

Who says Change your username, also says, paying for support, so I paid $2.99 ​​for this month, which already, it's cool to support the site, but it was mainly the basis for changing my username.

This way, we can say it's official, Newgrounds has become my second home for publishing my drawings on the internet.

And also, there are now 20 fans on my page who follow me, which is a huge pleasure, I think I'm going to abandon Instagram, or in any case, no longer publish drawings on it, for reasons that I'm Anti-IA, so I'm going to publish my drawings on the new Cara site.

I had also published my drawings on Mastodon and Pixelfed... but I hesitate to abandon them too, because at the moment, I am trying to find a way to make it easier for me to publish my drawings and I hope that Newgrounds will be the site that will give me a lot of support in my hobby.

So that's the news, I hope to be very active and once again, I thank everyone for the number of views on my drawings, don't hesitate to comment and rate my drawings.

I would love to do an FAQ, but I'm terrible at that, maybe someone could help me with that, but anyway.

BI BI to all and see you next Post

Thank you for the 100 views for Take 7 Forever.

This part of the story centers on the main character's flashback accompanied by an illustration very inspired by Faith: The Unholy Trinity

A game that inspired me enormously in my work and having made a drawing using Faith's style was a great pleasure.

Even if I remain disappointed at not having been able to finish my story The Lost Home, creating a story requires a lot of thinking about what would be cool to include, but above all, what would be logical to include, so as not to lose the reader.

But anyway, I already talked about it at length in the previous post and... I have no idea if there are people who read my posts or who give a damn about what I say like bullshit.

Sorry, this had to come out, but in any case, I thank you anyway for giving 100 more Views for my drawings, it shows that in the end, there are many people who love what I do, otherwise , I would never have published my drawings if I had just 0 views

On this, BI BI to all and see you in the next news

At first, it was just going to be a horror story, especially being a fan of horror films, but in the end, as the writing progressed and the twists and turns I've had lately, I really got pissed off writing it, to the point where it starts to feel like a chore, which is not a good sign.

Unless I should have thought better about how to better organize this story from the start, rather than writing a story out of the blue is the worst thing you can do to a story.

I thought I was going to do it in a year, I barely lasted 6 months and made at least 35 pages, which is already not bad, but it's stupid, I could have done better, especially having already written plenty of fiction/screenplay in the past.

In any case, I thank in advance to everyone who has read The Lost Home, it's still a great project that I loved, but it's a shame that it ended like that, I can't do better or more than that

On this, BI BI to you and see you next post/drawing ^^

Hello to all fans and Newgrounds

I hate to ask this, but today I need your intervention

I released Take 13 of my story The Lost Home which... took a very different direction than I expected.

In fact, to summarize, my main character is losing his temper and is not tired of playing his role in the story

And so, from this point on, after a long argument, the character Victor breaks the fourth wall to find out what you think about The Lost Home and his condition as a fictional character.

And this is where you must intervene, I invite all those who have already read the story, or even those who have not read, to go read Take 13 to have more context of this dispute and interact with it my character Victor.

Leave as many comments as possible, I really like the idea of ​​interaction with a fictional character and the public.

hi to all fans and Newgrounds

I need a break, I'm putting pressure on myself for nothing, I'm focusing too much on the number of views, likes, comments and talking badly to people on discord like before.

It's never a good sign when I go back to my bad habits, there's something wrong with me that I can't seem to fix.

I need to talk to more people normally and not behave like a YouTuber like: Have you seen my latest drawing, what do you think?

I have to correct this kind of defect, it's unbearable

I hope it goes well and take care of yourself, BI BI to you and see you next post/drawing or news

I noticed a detail that only makes me crazy, I registered on Newground on November 9, 2019, and I published my first drawing on April 4, 2023... Yes, we can say that it there was quite a gap.

In fact, with the coronavirus, this new project of publishing my drawings on Newgrounds was put aside and I had completely skipped it, given that this period, with the confinement and all the details that I am not going to specify.

It was a serious mess. And in 2 years, I had completely forgotten that I had made this account on Newgrounds, it was only with all the personal problems that I had on the internet that I saw this site as a second chance and in this what I do best: Draw

And so yes, after all this mess, I was finally able to publish my first drawing on Newground on April 4, 2023, and so, I hadn't noticed, but I've already been active on the site for a year.

Damn, there is reason to celebrate and I thank you for all the support you have given and suffice to say, this site has become my second home, even if I don't express myself much or express myself very poorly, at the same time, a French person who speaks to English people with Google Translate, you surprise me who will have a communication problem.

On this, BI BI to all and see you next post
