In July 29th 2019, at 8:07AM EDT precisely, i published the first chapter of a webcomic series of mine whose name is Wacky Neighbors. https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cocoloco3412/newspaper

Now, 365+1 days later, that first chapter, along with the whole series, are now One Year Old!

That's right!

Boy, the 2010s sure have been wild for me! Started making music, a webcomic, made a Twitter and NG accounts, etc. Who knows what the new decade has in store for me? Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND DECADE!!! XD

Now that we have reached the new decade, let's talk about my first album. First of all, it is still in production (all the planned tracks haven't been finished yet.), secondly, some of my old songs will be remade from scratch, and Dragon Etude will be getting a new and upgraded extended version. Speaking of which, the Dragon Etude Remix Contest has reached its submission deadline and i will be announcing the winner soooon!

Also , new (gaming) mouse.

Ain't it a beauty? X3

And last but not least, HAPPY 2020 TO YA ALL!!! ;D

Well, looks like 2019 is heading to a close soon, so let's review what i did on the whole year, shall we? (I didn't do much, but whatever).

January: Made "Day and Night".(https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/862163) The last (probably) song i made on FL Studio Mobile before ultimately switching to Cakewalk by Bandlab.

February: Started working on the Wacky Neighbors webcomic series and "founded" a doujin circle named AAA Rhythmics.

March: Released my first song for a BMS event. (This piece of crap right here: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/850024)

April: Celebrated my birthday and made some tunes using Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch (which will probably never be released).

May: Started using Cakewalk by Bandlab and took part on Pico Day 2019. (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cocoloco3412/pico-day-family-photo)

June: Participated at the NG Audio Deathmatch 2019 with this song: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/868479

July: Released Wacky Neighbors #1 (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cocoloco3412/newspaper)

August: Reached 20 followers on Twitter and participated at the Community Game Jam 2019. (Here's my entry. It's just a Twine text adventure but oh well... https://aaa-rhythmics.itch.io/troll-dungeon)

September: Released my BOFXV19 entry Pew Pew. (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/885464)

October: Tried taking part on Inktober 2019, but miserably failed. Might share some of my drawings of said event someday.

November: Released my first remix on Soundcloud. (https://soundcloud.com/alex-turell-martinez/shikiremix-shiki-remixed-by-alex-turell-metatron-atm-lost-scythesis-remix)

December: Celebrated Christmas Day by releasing the aforementioned remix on NG (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/900419), releasing Wacky Neighbors #2 (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cocoloco3412/10-things-not-to-do-in-spain) and a bonus drawing (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cocoloco3412/goth) (i even wrote a christmas day post btw (https://cocoloco3412.newgrounds.com/news/post/1080087), plus wrote this year-in-review right here.

As for 2020, i don't have much plans for the new year right now, apart from improving on both music and art (and also participate on Pixel Day), but guess that only time will tell.

Anyway, Happy pre-new year, mates! ;D

Merry Christmas, everyone! Today i will announce that the release date for Wacky Neighbors #2 will be... TODAY!

Yep, you heard right! Wacky Neighbors #2 is now available on NG! ;D

But before we get into that, lemme show you something i've been... *ahem* "hiding" since last christmas... THE PROTOTYPE! That's right. The prototype for Wacky Neighbors starring the preliminary versions of Zeke Shallow (the brown haired pipsqueak who debuted on WN #2) and a bearded guy named Billy William is now here for your reading pleasure!

So without further ado, here are the four pages of the prototype! (Hope you know Spanish).

Page 1:

Page 2:

Page 3:

Page 4:

Hope you liked it. ;D

(Oh, and the hobo from pages 3-4 is called Jacob Ragson).

And now, back to WN #2, which is now available to read here:

Or in the image below!

Also (not related to WN) i've released my first remix (from almost a month ago) here on NG. You can listen to it here:

And finally, as a little bonus, a lil piece of artwork i made two days ago (probably my first NSFW artwork btw).

(NOTE: It is also a hint for my first song for 2020).

Well i don't think i have anything else to say, but i'm planning to make myself a DeviantArt account someday soon...

Anyway, i wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy-ish 2020! XD

See ya! ;D

(PS: Don't you hate it when you have to rewrite the same newspost from the beginning three times? Bye now.)
