Happy 2025, Newgrounds! It was a wild Maze of Life 2024 held, so I'm hyped to see what this year holds! As a token of my appreciaton for reaching 350 fans and to celebrate the New Year, I'm officially opening up my Discord server to EVERYONE (starting with the Newgrounds folks) after months of preparation and feedback from friends, have fun:

https://discord.gg/mgkWqeBeb5

This server has...

• Exclusive behind the scenes and sneak peeks of upcoming projects from yours truly
• Roles depending on your hobbies, pronouns, and pings within the server
• Carefree roleplaying and hammer down on killjoys
• Events ranging from watch partys/movie nights to potential collaborative drawing canvases on Magma
• Emotes, stickers, and soundboard sounds spanning across the M-kirbs-verse and some of my hyperfixations
• And a friendly atmosphere to all creative people and friends alike!

Thank you all for an awesome year and let's hope this year can be more awesome with my 20th anniversary of life on the way!

Since everyone else is doing it, I might as well!

January

My sona finally got a concrete overall design and a name: Marie!

The new year also kicked off with a pretty big collab with the Art Gallery, first time getting NG awards too!

This month also marked the annual Awesome Games Done Quick charity stream event and I made art in honor of that too:

And some uh...stuff on Discord happened that I really don't wanna dig deep into since I'm not a drama person (there's your answer as to why art got deleted and instances of a certain someone scribbled out)

Feburary

Tis the season of love and cute cards as I contributed to the Valentine's Day Collab '24!

With some Poker Night 2 art to go with:

And Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

March

OH MAN, A LOT HAS HAPPENED:

Including Katamari Damacy's 20th anniversary (please play Katamari, it's so good)

This month also marks the start of my voice acting career thanks to the Studio Bad Egg Cipher Cult Kickstarter and this vid from Charley (which is basically outdated, I've been told they'll make a new one down the line :3c), known to be a curator of Mystery Shack Lookback and on the way to dub THE ENTIRE BOOK OF BILL!

April

I slept through April Fools and my lil' buddies were happy to withstand the order in this chaos day...kinda

Along with Bunny Day:

And the 20th anniversary of my first ever Kirby game, WOOOOOO!

May

The Artists of The Inventory were called to make some funnies for this:

A ghost party was called while we're halfway there to Halloween:

And we went camping once again, happy 25th anniversary SpongeBob!

June

I've experimented with PNGTuber+ (despite NOT being a streamer lol)

And celebrated Pride!

An old pal was brewing up something to celebrate his new book...

July

Eh, you know what? Take it from here, Bill.

WITH PLEASURE, KID! YOU SUCKERS ON NEWGROUNDS AND DISCORD WERE OH-SO DUMB TO TAKE MY DEAL THAT MY BOOK BECAME A BEST-SELLER! EAT IT!

WORLD DOMINATION WAS IN MY HANDS TOO, THANKS FOR MAKING THE SONG TOO!

The collab collection will come on New Year's Eve and THANK YOU FOR 350 FANS AND USER OF THE DAY!

I've got something big planned to kick off the new year for this milestone, my friends over on Discord already know...

Here's to 2025 being a bigger year for me with my 20th anniversary of life! ...maybe I should dabble in singing music covers...

It's about time I got that seat of honor! I'll take it as a late Christmas gift, thank you

Merry Christmas (Eve in my timezone) and happy holidays, NG! Hope you guys are having a great one this year and thanks a bunch for all the lovely messages on my tree in the last new post (every single one of them counts, even the small ones)! Thank you all so much for all the appreciation and love this year with all the new stuff I've been making, including my voice acting debut! Here's to next year being awesome with my 20th birthday, a big milestone in my life!

(Full art tomorrow and 2024 Recap coming on New Year's Eve!)

nuff said, cool stuff released

I may have gotten possessed again, help

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, BUY GOLD, BYEEEEEEE!

[Halloween '24 art releasing on 8PM EST]

What's good, NG? If you haven't seen it- or should I say, HEARD it, my first ever audio portal submission is now live: the dub of my Creepypasta '22 Collab submission reprised after months' worth of VA shenanigans on Discord!

Probably not the best thing to start my Audio Portal journey on, but it's something (I'd rather have my triangular friend do the honors, buuuuut that's something for a different time once someone will figure out the music problem), expect some more VA works in the making cuz someone just hooked me up to read another creepypasta for the Jam too!

I mainly did the VA stuff cuz of Bill using my damned body for some merch campaign incentives, BLAME HIM!

PS: I may have something in line for a big fan/follower count milestone, my friends on Discord already know it ;)

Hey there, fellow nerds

Guess who's been watching too much [as] lately

Halloween art is coming along very smoothly

And so are all the collabs I've been joining on top of it

Tho, I'm sensing some kind of...evil presences... ◬↺

[m-kirbs]

(No storm's gonna slow me down, Halloween art releasing as per usual...maybe with an extra surprise)

Happy Robot Day, Newgrounds! I did say I was gonna make some art, buuuuuuut I simply forgot about Robot Day and time can be a pain in the butt. But what I DO have is me unveiling a small "project" I've worked on for the past couple days, behold...The M-K1R85 model from the future where someone everyone is a robot!

> READY TO SERVE, MISS-

Yeahyeahyeah, enjoy yourself on this day, you're gonna be GREAT pals to Claptrap and GLaDOS. Anywho, it's a new sona variation so feel free to make art of it, make it better, whatever! So sorry I couldn't be able to join the fun PROPERLY due to time constraints, but I hope this is better than nothing ^^

As for myself with life and projects, it's been going pretty well. The Jackbox project is still being worked, voice lines need to be recorded and all that. For art stuff, I know I have a BUNCH of stuff lined up for October for spooky month and some 10th anniversary for a game I like. As for Bill, wellll-

I'M NEVER LEAVING HER HEAD!

He's still on my mind... Anywho, TIME IS MEANINGLESS, TO HELL WITH AI, BUY THE BOOK OF BILL TO SUPPORT ANIMATORS, KLATERBYYYYYYE!

Oh yeah, SONA REF GOT AN UPDATE:

Welp, I'm 19 and it's safe to say I've wasted my whole life...not really LOL! Man, a lot has happened since the collab, especially with my birthday coming after, might as well address some questions you might be asking:

Soooooo, how was your birthday?

Pretty crazy but overall really damn good! Got a buncha gifts that my parents got and I even got myself like new games and new merch (not to mention a LOT of good food too). The Book of Bill, Gimmick's collector's edition, that NWC deluxe set, and my BIG SWORD KIRBY PLUSHIE were basically the cherries on top of this black forest cake of a day...the Book of Bill especially.

You plan on watching that Borderlands movie?

Short answer: Probably not. Long answer: It's complicated...on my family doesn't really go to the cinema anymore (as much as I REALLY want that Claptrap popcorn bucket) and the reviews for the movie have not been looking so promising... I'll get just get a Blu-Ray/DVD of it and PRAY TO GUN GOD that SOMEONE sells that popcorn bucket online so I can snag it, feels like a crime to NOT get a cool as hell popcorn bucket of my second favorite character of all time. Yeah, the community reception has kinda made it so I haven't been hyping it up as much as the Book of Bill...on top of me being super-hyperfixated on Gravity Falls BECAUSE of that book. The reviews for the movie have not been looking so good, but people to really like Jack Black as Claptrap, so that's a win in my book!

On a lighter note, how was The Book of Bill?

LOVED IT! Oh man, it was SO worth the wait and convincing my mom to get that Barnes & Nobels version for my birthday (which even arrived on time for my birthday by the way, it's great)! ...That also means Bill is NOT leaving my head anytime soon lol. I won't go deep into spoilers in case you wanna read it yourself, but I'll just say it's a chaotic good time and made me appreciate books again. Now I kinda just wanna voice some of the pages myself...

Waitwaitwait, YOU CAN VOICE ACT NOW?!

Uh, yeah. Cipher even demon-wrote on that news post that I even voiced him for some random thing for a Discord pal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfP0e2nnQT0 And plus, have you seen me on Discord? I've been posting a BUNCH of voice acting stuff in select servers (if you're in the Newgrounds Podcast server, chances are you might've seen some Cipher-related audio files in the self-promo channel), it's a lot of fun. As for getting that fun here on Newgrounds...again, it's complicated. I wanna post a "best of M-Cipher" where I pick some of my best Bill voicing shenanigans and post it here on the Audio Portal of Newgrounds, buuuuuut I'd want some music for it so it's not just me and my Bill voice in the void. The problem is that I can't just pick whatever song I want, there's copyright issues and whatnot, so I'm gonna have to find something here (preferrably Gravity Falls related) or someone can just hook me up with something to use that they're totally fine with. But yeah, besides that I've been hard at work with my Jackbox project which requires a lot of voice acting, unfiltered at that, so I've been getting used to hearing my own voice in recordings normally (and Bill's not the ONLY impression I can do, I've been working on the palette and I can do a mighty fine Claptrap and GLaDOS, so much so that the Voicemod server seems to REALLY like my impressions and I somehow won a couple of their impression challenges). So, if you wanna hook me up to do some VA gigs, I'm only a Discord/Newgrounds DM away, I'll be happy to do it for more practice!

(...PS: BILL'S THE REASON WHY I VOICE ACT TO BEGIN WITH, BLAME HIM! HAHA!)

What's next for ya in terms of art?

I honestly dunno for certain, I DO have a lot of plans for October for not only Halloween/Spooky Month, but to celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of my favorite games (think of it as a way of saying sorry for not hyping up the Borderlands movie...I know that movie is a disappointment so I'm not really that sorry? Uh, just expect a bunch of Claptrap art by then).

...What's with 2 of the art on your profile being deleted and a bunch more getting edited to remo-
