Weed....regardless of if you use it or not, the cultural impact it is has had on the world is undeniable. From movies, to songs, and even games, marijuana has become a major part society and a major part of my life, helping me through some tough times in my life so I'm proud to announce my first major collab of 2025

THE NEWGROUNDS 420 COLLAB!

Q: What is the NEWGROUNDS 420 COLLAB?

A: It's a celebration of all things dank, from Cheech & Chong to rainbow bongs, anything and everything reefer related is allowed. The main part of the collab is focused around animations BUT there will also be an art section so those who still wanna partake.

Q: How can I join the collab?

A: By joining the discord server (linked below) you'll be officially joining, the server is also where any ART submissions will be going and where I'll be posting updates.

Q:How do I add my submission to the collab? 

A: Any art can be submitted in the Discord server BUT any animations will be submitted differently (More details in the server)

Q: Does skill level matter?

A: While it doesn't matter for art submissions, there will be a certain level of scrutiny of animations and if I feel that the quality does not match other animations I will notify you about and give you a chance to improve it to a level I deem adequate.

Q: When is the deadline?

A: Everything will be due on April 12th. I am not opposed to giving extensions but for animations if I think that the amount of work done isn't enough to justify it, I won't be giving any extra time.

Anymore questions you may have can be asked in the server. Thanks for reading and I can't wait to see all the awesome things you guys make!

HEY EVERYONE LONG TIME NO POST!

2024 was a very very very weird year for me, I've had to deal with a lot of change and because of that I didn't really do a lot on the site but I wanna change that in 2025 starting with my first major collab of the year.

Now, in order to not spoil it, I'd like to keep details on it minimal until I'm ready to announce it so I can't say much in this post but I'm sure it'll be an awesome addition to the site!

The idea I have planned for the collab might require someone with a higher level of skill coding wise but as long as if you're think you'd be able to do it I'm open to anything. I'm also not opposed to paying as long as if I think the work provided is worth it.

If anyone is interested don't be afraid to message me on here or on Discord at sageisreal

Thanks for reading, can't wait to have an awesome 2025 on Newgrounds!

Update: I have found a coder, shoutout to @Drowsierstone for being chosen.

Welcome any and welcome all to my first collab of the year...Mewgrounds

The idea was thought of by my friend @KaseKit and I'm helping them bring it to life.

"What is the mewing?"

For those who aren't terminally online like us "Mewing" is the technique of flattening out your tongue against the roof of the mouth. Or in other words, giving you're self a really strong jawline as seen in the "Gigachad" memes.

"What is the Mewgrounds collab about?"

The theme of the collab is to draw characters either mewing or with the "Gigachad" jawline made famous by Krista Sudmalis (The origin of the Gigachad meme.)

"How can I join the collab?"

There is no barrier or entry, artist of any skill or style are all allowed to join using the discord server linked below.

https://discord.gg/awFPSvKHxd

"How can I submit my art?"

In order to keep everything organized I'll only be accepting art through the discord server.

ANY ART SENT THOUGH ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE SERVER WILL NOT BE USED!

"When is the due date for submissions?"

As of right now there is not due date for art but entries will be closing in 3 weeks (February 24th) . We're aiming for a mid March release date but things can (and probably will) change.

"Is A rated art allowed?"

Unfortunately, no. M rated art must be cleared by me and Kase just to make sure nothing...weird...gets into the collab.

If you have any other questions don't be afraid to DM me or @KaseKit.

Shoutout to @CJspellsfish for making the banner seen above, the icon for the server (Posted below) and for coding for the collab.

Hello everyone! I wanna start this off by saying thank you to everyone who joined the “Loss” Collab! Now on to the main event…

The Random Prompt Comic Collab!

This was the idea I had before the “Loss” Collab and I’m excited to finally announce it.

The idea behind the collab is that a group of artists must make a 4 panel comic based off a random prompt given to them.

In order to keep everything organized all guidelines and how to submit is in the Discord server listed below

https://discord.gg/nNCuptJw

Any and all questions can be asked in the server, can’t wait to see all the awesome art for a 2nd time!

Hi everyone!

Today is a huge milestone in my career in Newgrounds as I am now at 100 fans!

When I joined the site 2 years ago I never though I would get even close 100 and now that I see those triple digits, I wanna go far beyond 100 fans!

I wanna give a huge shout to all my friends, @Kuni @Frosty @conundrym @nohshy @emizip and @sugaphys

These awesome lads have giving me more than motivation and drive to work on projects and make content for NewGrounds and more.

Thank you to everyone who supported me through the ups and (many many) downs, I wouldn’t be anywhere where I am right now without you all!

Till next time, stay epic everyone!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my very first art collab!

After meeting everyone at the NewGrounds meet up at TooManyGames I became inspired to be more active in the community so to kick this new found motivation I'm hosting my very first collab!

The theme of this collab is based off the infamous "Loss" comic by Ctrl+Alt+Del.

As sad and depressing of a comic it is, this format sparked a huge meme dude to the raw nature of the character positing. These iconic 4 panels are so recognizable that even just 7 lines place in the same orientation reminds people of the comic. Using that as a base, I wanna see how many different versions of the "Loss" format are possible to make.

The rules for this collab are simple:

1. Only one entry person
2. All piece must feature characters in this format pieces and can't be bigger than 800x800

All pieces must be submitted by July 18th.

How to submit:

Please DM any pieces to me on Discord (sageisreal)

OR

Join the server and submit it there!

Link to server: https://discord.gg/yJmRfNSCW

And use this template:

"NewGrounds Username" // "Art Piece Name" // "Art Piece Description"

If you have any questions don't be afraid to DM me on here or on Discord.

sageisreal

I can't wait to see all of the awesome pieces!

EDIT: You can also comment if you'd be interested so I can add you to the list.

EDIT 2.0: We how have a Discord server where you can add your submissions and talk to other awesome artist!

Also shout to @blackdingo86ng for the amazing banner!

Shoutout to @earth2claudia for beaming the idea of the collab into my brain!

Hey everyone!

These past couple of months have taught me a lot, not just about life but myself.

I've had a bit of a creative renaissance and now have so many ideas this summer is going to be crazy!

This summer I gonna start streaming, writing, making more music and even gonna learn how to draw.

Just wanted to post a little update after the success of my latest song.

In the mean time, follow my Twitter and Twitch for more epic sage content!

Have a good day everyone! And thank you all for the support!

Hi everyone! The past 2 weeks have been some of the best fun I've had on Newgrounds! From hanging with epic people to make banger songs and trying new things, I've had a blast so far. I've been lucky enough to be able to meet and work with some awesome people and I wish to meet even more fantastic people on the site.

I have a few projects that I'm gonna be a part of coming up soon but in the mean time, if you want more vibes and such you can follow my Twitch, https://www.twitch.tv/sageisactuallylive

Also, thank you everyone for over 1,500 plays on my song! I wanna make sure I can keep making banger songs so again, thank you so much!

Stay epic everyone and again, thank you for the support!

Hi everyone! so if you've seen my past few songs you can tell that they are 100x different that my songs from 2021 and even 2022. I've realized that I wanna make songs that aren't just me saying some crazy over a mediocre beat. I've grown a lot since then and I wanna distance myself from my "CRF-Sage" days. In the end, I just wanna make music I enjoy and that people can vibe to.

I can't say it enough but thank you for all the support since the year started, you guys are why I wanna make more music.

Stay epic my friends!

Edit: I don't plan on deleting my old songs since that would be like removing my own history but I do want them to be less known, lol.

Another Edit: I lied, wiping that shit off the face of the earth, lol.
