First things first, let's address this: this is a fresh new Newgrounds account, among the many I have. I've been on Newgrounds since the early 2000s during the Flash Animation Era, enjoying classics like "Mario vs. Sonic" and others such as "Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom," "David and Bill's Adventures," "Junkyard Animation," and "Scrotum" (believed to have been the first Newgrounds upload). I became a member around 2004 when I was doing my research on how it was done and got my hands on Adobe Flash, starting with versions 2005, then 2008, and eventually CS4, which was the last one I used.
After acquiring the necessary tools, I decided to play around and test things out. That's when I came up with a character named toonyfatninja. It just popped into my head, or perhaps I had a drawing of it on Windows MS Paint, which you'll see in the logo below—a headshot of this character. From there, I kept it around and thought, "Well, maybe I can make something with this guy." I had a couple of small projects I worked on back then, including some sprite animation projects. One of my ideas was to create another Mario skit, along with my own original content.
However, ever since then, I closed out my first account, which was under the username "toonyfatninja," due to an issue with a moderator. Unfortunately, I won't be able to retrieve it as it's still there but inaccessible to me. The email I used for that account has been locked out for many years, possibly since 2005 or 2008. You could say I could have been a pioneer or I was at some point during the early stage of this, but I never really developed much or did much in terms of content.
Now, I go by these other accounts, and I'll be starting this one as a clean slate. I just wanted everybody to know that I'm not new here, so you understand that I've always been part of Newgrounds since its early and golden years.

Now that we've addressed all those details, I have a video compilation of all my work. It's quite old, ranging from projects created between 2008 and 2011. Since then, I haven't undertaken any new projects, so you won't be missing anything beyond this point. This video serves as a comprehensive overview of my creative journey thus far, giving you a glimpse into my past endeavors.
I must admit, I haven't been actively honing my skills either, as life has presented its challenges. Dealing with various responsibilities has made finding time for creative pursuits a lengthy and daunting process. There were moments where I almost gave up, but my ambition to see this through has kept me coming back, determined to rise to the occasion.
