It's time; I did a good amount of digging around for the Newgrounds treasure hunt, and we need to do another one of these. So let's get started!
I love how playfully punk rock @victorabbe's whole gallery is; there's so many quirky little loop animations and inventive ideas in there. This one's really worth a deep dive.
@AirCityStudios is an absolute madman, and I truly don't understand why he doesn't have more followers than he does because his technical proficiency is off the charts. He's got a couple different styles he works in, but they're both polished like glass.
@nollthere combines these nice pastel palettes with nature and the occult to create these stunning, neatly organized illustrations that all feel like they'd make great prints.
@anshiiiiin is probably my personal favorite in this issue's lineup. Their images tell stories, both haunting and surreal, but refuse any singular interpretation; shadows often cloud the forms, only causing them to further linger in your mind. Truly outstanding stuff.
@arttoon's work perfectly emulates that old UPA art style with simple forms and minimal linework that give their designs a really bold and striking look.
And I think that's all I've got for this time!

In other news, I'm stunned with just how many people have played Homecoming already. I fully expected the content, and the type of game it is to drive most folks away, but I'm delighted that people have given it a chance, and I'm also incredibly grateful that Newgrounds both exists and is willing to put something like Homecoming right there on the frontpage. It really means an awful lot.

No trouble at all! I don’t see a whole lot of stuff here quite like yours.
