I say this as I disappear for a couple of months again but I SWEAR TO GOD, SCHOOL IS LITERALLY UGHHHHH RN


But regardless of that, yes my gang, DawnieDrella is still alive and kicking! Just well.... burnt out from fulfilling the duties expected of an academic institution now that I have to finish 6 manuscripts in the span of a month and worry about finals and training for college entrance exams.... isn't it crazy how time flies so fast?


On and off I've been drawing and I do have a few finished pieces that I still dont feel confident to post here (but I will post em on tumblr and twitter)


OH YEAH SPEAKING OF TWITTER, I GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK IN MARCH 2024 (shout out to my irl friend oh my godddddd I thought I was a goner)


I guess I got summoned back here after hearing of the new FNF update (IT ROCKS!!), and well... I really missed Newgrounds a lot. I missed being active here and participating in collabs, rating and blamming submissions, and playing games. I just hope that someday, I'll go back to this community and reconnect with those I lost over time.


Hope ya'll have a great day. This is DawnieDrella signing out for today !!

OK I AM LIKE- A FEW DAYS LATE but I wanna say, a delayed happy holidays and a delayed happy new year !! I'm really sorry I wasn't as active here after secret santa, as I was busy spending the whole break celebrating christmas and new year with family. In fact, I've been busy with doing art during the break SINCE WELL... I joined 2 secret santas which one is held here in newgrounds and the other was from tumblr


Now this year is starting a bit more promising for my art since I'll be involved in lots of art related projects in our school and that means getting sore ass hands but being able to make lots of art in short time and recognition !!


As for my activity in Newgrounds, I think I'll go dormant again T-T but I'll try posting some art in between!!


For my socials, my Bluesky has been dormant for a while (I MEAN THERE AINT THAT MUCH PEOPLE THERE YET), I'm planning on making a new twitter account because that bitchass man child elon musk suspended me back in october for like the stupidest reason and I got my appeal rejected TWICE


So I will be active in my Tumblr, rambling about my interests AS ALWAYS (I got into resident evil recently SOOOOO) and discord but im not dropping my @ here lol


Anyways im gonna head out once again! Have a great day !!


-Shedawn :D

i made fun of elon and boom now my twitter got suspended :((( I'm just gonna chill while I wait for my appeal to be approved LMAO


Update on art: I'm severely busy right now but I promise new art is in the works of progress!! I'm trying a different kind of coloring style


UPDATE PART 2: my acc is officially suspended for real ewww musky wusky rejected my appeal so looks like i cant make a new acc unless i change my ip address


ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I’ll be joining Bluesky to continue my journey and basically restart all over in a new but WAY BETTER AND DECENTRALIZED social media platform !!


(possibility of joining tumblr coming soon)


(blue sky acc will be created in a couple of hours, stay tuned !!)

Ok so after a lot of thinking I have decided that I'll no longer be referred as ShidoniDrella anymore, but DawnieDrella !! Why? Well it's a bit personal (which I might explain in the future) but outside of twt and newgrounds, I'm more known as Shedawn (which was somewhat derived from ShidoniDrella) and i feel like it's more unique and suits me more. I asked some peeps as well and many seem to like Shedawn more, and I find myself to love that name as well... sooo yeah


im also fine with being called dawnie, it sounds so cute ^^ but shedawn always peaks


that means my signature has officially changed and ig my persona will be called Shedawn for the rest of eternity lol (maybe once I get gifted newgrounds supporter, I can finally bade farewell to the festive nickname that my profile has been holding since 2021 and basically ShidoniDrella)


For those wonder where I've been, YES my time management is dogshit as always, but i spent june travelling out of town and spending time with my family, relatives and cousins. July is somewhat spent on doing a bit more productive irl stuff and I recently got into piano lessons again after YEARS !!! I do promise ya'll there's this 6 month wip that I'm almost finished with and once it's sent i can do MORE ART... aaaand perhaps make merch for me to sell within my town (hopefully before I return to school on late august)


most importantly, expect another redesign for Shidoni- I MEAN Shedawn (I SWEAR ITS GONNA BE GREAT THIS TIME)

Research defended, finals survived, musical performed and won with flying colors


GUESS WHO'S BACK? HELL YEAH ITS ME LOL


God it's been a heck of a month and I'm so glad the school year is over (jk I still need to finish my clearance but other than that I'm free). Now I guess that means I can slowly return to art and participate in more community art events, specifically those here in Newgrounds!! Also, due to our club selling pins and stickers last minute, it kinda motivated me to do art commissions and sell merch


aight well I do expect to post more often now that I am free from all the academic shit

HELLO HELLO


yes as you see, it's been a while since I've last posted art or even participated on this year's events


I have come with some good news and bad news.... good news is that I am at my last month of school so that means I would finally have the free time to focus on my hobbies more on the days robbed


bad news is that, our final quarter is running on a span of LITERALLY A MONTH and this month is packed with readiness exams and midterms next week. One week after is normal class but that means we have a lot of group presentations to worry about and then after that week is LITERALLY FINALS. . . and then the week after finals is when we have to prepare for our year-end school musical


Even before that, we're already so bombarded with a lot of stuff to do so I sincerely apologize if Im not able to make more content, especially for this week since it's Pico day

OMG IM SO SORRY I HAVE BEEN SUPER DUPER INACTIVE AS HELL IN THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!!! I am currently drowning from limbo to the 9th circle of hell (aka SCHOOL) and as much as how I really wanna do so many things, there's too much responsibilities and so LITTLE time :((( also not to mention my still horrible time management


I'm still working on full-fleshed pieces, but to get my creativity back I post some drawings here and there on twt that I dont post on NG

ah yes..... new year, NEW ME(NTAL PROBLEMS) (I really love this quote so much idk why but its just like me fr)


but honestly, HAPPY 2023 NEWGROUNDS (AND EVERYONE IN GENERAL) !! As I am writing this, I am currently 1 year and 3 months old in this community and I know the situation in 2022 turned out better than from 2021, but having to be choked with the AGONY of highschool and personal problems hindered my activity in this sweet artistic escapade and most of my plans that I envisioned for 2022 back in 2021 barely went through. BUT HEYYY IT AIN'T OVER YET!! I SWORE TO MYSELF THAT I'LL REDEEM MYSELF AND STARTING THIS DAY, I'LL DO MY BEST TO BECOME MORE INTERACTIVE AND PASSIONATE HERE.. just like the good ole days from when I was just months old in Newgrounds. AAAAND AT THE SAME TIME, REDEEM MYSELF IN GENERAL (the only thing that'll prolly change for the worse would be my mental health BUT HEY LETS NOT THINK ABT THAT FOR NOW)


We all know 2020 was damned and 2021 was its successor, but let's all hope 2022 decides to break the chains of this pandemic so we won't have to stay in our homes 24/7 and actually do what we really wanted to do in the outside world.


-(From my news post during the start of 2022)


And I'm glad that we finally were able to do what we want that the pandemic took away from us. Everyone's finally going outside, meeting other people, returning to productivity and much MORE!! I SWEAR THE PANDEMIC WAS A HUGE SHIT SHOW BUT WE MADE IT OUT ALIVE!! (for those who lost their love ones during the pandemic, know that they're (if not all, most) very proud of you for surviving a phenomena that happens once a lifetime)


Aside from that, I just wanna thank ya'll for 100 followers on Newgrounds!! It was my dream as a kid to be a well known artist and I know that my journey still has a long way to go, but there's gonna be a HUGE TON OF HARDSHIP AS WELL but hopefully I'll be able to go through all of em. I look forward to meeting more cool peeps and chasing more opportunities to come, and as always, I FUCKING FORGOT WHAT TO SAY LMAO BUT THANK YOU ALL AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR


Your goofy and crinj Pinoy NGer,

ShidoniDrella (SantaDrella)

Yes that's RIGHT!! Cheers to me for surviving again and being welcomed to a new start of my life!! It's been really tough but Im glad I have gone through all that shit just to come to where I am right now. It's crazy how time flies so fast doe, since I joined Newgrounds when I was 14 and now I'm 16. Idk if I should be happy because I'm getting older or scared because getting old sucks as well and we all know what dire consequences lies upon ahead, but I decided to do both because THAT'S THE EXPERIENCE!!


Also silly story regarding today at school: so basically my dumb ass decided to cry for the whole entirety of the morning because I was so anxious (by anxious I mean my class not greeting me the moment I entered the classroom nor my close friends messaging me as well) and stuff and then I went to the guidance counselor before lunch to vent about it and then I came back to the classroom to eat lunch and I was super anxious again that I cried to sleep.


I woke up at around 1:20 pm and then cried again then idk I didn't wanna stay in the classroom any longer so I ran to my friend's classroom and cried to him and then he accompanied me to my other friend's classroom and then I felt better afterwards and stayed there for a bit and played Pokemon Shield on the Switch Lite and watched DMC 5 cutscenes


I was gonna go back to my classroom but then one of my senior friends were drawing outside the door and then they greeted me and began talking about shit (DMC 5) and then as my classmates were leaving the classroom, I got greeted again by some of my classmates and ig I felt happy after that


idk I felt really stupid for crying IN MY SPECIAL DAY when I am supposed to be happy and the reason why I cried was just being anxious over the idea that my class didn't greet me and I shouldn't WORRY about that cuz over all I feel better now but Im still bitter at how I reacted to the situation but it's not a concern anymore


I was actually supposed to make art for my bday, but due to being SUPER BUSY AF IN SCHOOL, I sadly wasn't able to make one but hey!! There's next bday :))
