As soon as Newgrounds started using Cloudflare and their CAPTCHA, Russian people can no longer enter the site without VPN or other services (that also get banned by government or another sanctions)

I asked @TomFulp if there's something we could help the Russian part of the community, and he said he'll check more about this situation, but in general... It sucks.

I am writing this because, well, as long as I host collabs (such as The Ultimate Newgrounds 30th Anniversary Art Collab) and publish my art here, I might disappear for uncertain period of time, if VPN services would not work at all. This leads to this, and I hope we'll fix something. I love Newgrounds, I love the community, and I don't want my people get restricted from such a good site.

Thank you for your support 💙

Как только Newgrounds начал использовать Cloudflare и их CAPTCHA, россияне больше не могут зайти на сайт без VPN или других сервисов (которые также запрещены правительством или другими санкциями)

Я спросил Фулпа, есть ли что-то, чем мы могли бы помочь российской части сообщества, и он сказал, что посмотрит больше информации об этой ситуации, но в целом... Отстой.

Я пишу это, потому что, ну, пока я размещаю совместные проекты (например, The Ultimate Newgrounds 30th Anniversary Art Collab) и публикую здесь своё искусство, я могу исчезнуть на неопределённый период времени, если VPN сервисы вообще перестанут работать.

Всё привело к этому, и я надеюсь, что мы сможем что-нибудь исправить. Я люблю Newgrounds, я люблю это сообщество, и я не хочу, чтобы мои люди были ограничены в доступе к такому хорошему сайту.

Спасибо за поддержку 💙

Hey fellas, Jordy again!

If you are participating in my Newgrounds 30th Anniversary Art Collab, and you reserved (or want to reserve) one or few characters, it's better to hurry up!

Remember, our deadline is right at the jubilee, that means

JULY, 6TH

https://jdyjohansson.newgrounds.com/news/post/1539289

And I recommend you to hurry up, because making background and the collab design is also a part of the job I have to do before publishing, so hey, lift your butts and grab a pencil! :D

Waaa thank you guys for frontpaging us! Me and @KokoroHatsaru are so proud of these arts, and we'll keep working on that project🌟

https://jdyjohansson.newgrounds.com/news/post/1539289

I've made a list of reserved characters there, so keep it in mind if you ask me for reserving a character!

This is a collab that is separate from the one hosted by @Mantis. If you want to join his collab, check out

ULTIMATE

NEWGROUNDS

ART COLLAB

Everyone can join this collab! So what's about the rules?

① The Idea

It's not just an art collab where you can put every character in it. Our art collab should be our own interpretation of Newgrounds mascots, like this one

It's up to you, who should be added to this list of significant faces of NG. The old ones should be added as well.

One person can choose one or several characters, but it's only MAIN PROTAGONISTS that personify their projects - keep it in mind!

② Submission Rating

Our collab is M-rated, it means no pornographic context, although the characters themselves can still be nude - that doesn't technically ruin the rules if there's no accent on it. Just keep it featured-friendly!

③ Who is allowed to participate

Technically, everyone! But, in order to keep the art quality, it's better if you're scouted or at least have featured submissions. Otherwise, please DM me your art examples. No offence, but if you draw like a googoo gaagaa, it's your problem :³ (jk)

④ Deadline

[•JULY, 6TH•]

Applications are being accepted now!

⑤ Art Conditions

Once again, M-rated, transparent background, dimensions don't matter, depends on character size, but you can rely on 1080×1080. Draw however you can: traditional, pixel, digital, 3D, clay - everything counts, but the bg should be transparent! You can draw as many characters as you want, just let the others participate either!

!!!Before drawing a character, ask me to make sure if the character is already busy by other artist or not!!!

⑥ Where can I send my art

You can DM me here on Newgrounds, or, on other platforms:

•Telegram•

•Twitter•

•VKontakte•

•Discord: jdyjohansson•

That's all folks, hope we'll make a great ultimate collab together! Xp

80 years ago, at May 9th, the USSR has won in the Great Patriotic War against German nazists, meaning the end of suffering from this horrifying and bloody dictatorship. Let us remember all the victims and heroes this day, Happy Victory Day! ❤️

I recommend you to support this wonderful art of @Wolkrisovalshik:

If you wonder why I am not in Bluesky for some reason and whether I have thought about doing my creative work there, here's the answer :)

(I have already sent a complaint, but it is unlikely to be considered. The point is that at the time of registration I did not even have time to do anything. And I am already accused of mass spam and un-/subscribing, ahaha)

Unfortunately I was busy to make a submission this year, yet you can still check my 2024 art here

Happy Pico Day, and happy b-day to ya, @TomFulp! Wish you all best!💙

Sketch with Head Physician

👁️

🪬Lore Time🪬

Head Physician was once a real person, managing a medical research institute. Under his hand (or, you might say, "wing"), medicine, science and robotics developed exponentially, and he had a wealth of knowledge in the field of neurosurgery and oneirology. Was married, and has a lovely son.
