As is usual, within the end of the year, many people are starting to make their recaps and to give their greetings to those they feel more grateful with. How do I know? 'cause between today and yesterday i've been receiving lots of notifications from people mentioning me in their posts (and I sure am not the only one). Feels satisfying to know I touched lots of hearts this year for the simple reason I feel I didn't do anything particularly special; I went through just like I normally do in my life. Happy last days of 2024 ;)

Christmas time is here...

Hello, I hope you have (or already had) a great christmas day. It's a day of magic celebration for most of us, and i'm always grateful to celebrate it with those I love most (being both the real life people I know, and the greatest users i've made bonds with over here).

Secret Santa 2024 finished, and I got a super cute gift:

Made by @MageKate07. You can see the Secret Santa reveal right here

Santa Claus got me nothing... which makes sense, since Santa Claus does not visit us over here (I live in México), and besides, I wouldn't ask for anything else: I got my best year in general after a lot of past mistakes. What did I achieve this year?

1. Published my first game in the form of BOXANNE!
2. Joined various collabs, be it as participant, or as staff.
3. I hosted the Earth Day Collab 2024, which developed succesfully in every way possible.
4. I got back to college (but no one cares).
5. I shared Nitainaga Island, a nes-like game.
6. I got a lot of fans.
7. I improved my artstyle.

I already made a 2024 recap right here. If you want to see more of the things I did this year, go check it out:

And that's it, I honestly don't have much else to say, merry christmas and happy new year! See ya'll on 2025 :))

It's been really quite huh...

I was very unactive this last weeks, and college is the only one to blame. Whatever, I have finished with college for now (I still have to get my final grades, but that's sand of another bag). I still have a few things to share in the upcoming weeks, like the secret santa and some other drawings I had to postpone. Not to mention I'm still working in Boxanne 2, which should be done for March, but we'll have to see. Anyway, wish you a nice weekend, I have to get back on track myself, see ya around :D

I know it's not the time yet, but merry christmas :))!! (I'll say it again the right day ;) )

This is gonna be a smol post.

So, I've noticed an increase in art featuring me or any of my chars in others pictures, without me even requesting that, as if I was some kind of famous guy, did I really touch people's hearts that much? also, besides art, some other people start to talk to me as if I was an old friend instead of a rando on the internet whenever I show up somewhere.

I know it's not something to brag about, but it feels really heartwarming that people seem to appreciate my work, or even my presence. Normally this is the part of the post where I would say something stupid, but this time I just wanna be emotive for a moment and thank all of you for your kind words and actions towards my person, that's practically all i'm working for everyday (that, and for the love of art).

Christmas is almost here, so this seems like the appropriate time to highlight this "achievement" of love (that sounded kinda corny :b). Wish you all a happy night, week, month, year, and century!

-With all the warmth of my heart, Emiliano

Just woke up, took the breakfast, cleaned the terrace a bit, and came to Newgrounds, just to realize my latest Boxanne art got frontpaged. It's the first work I've ever got frontpaged that isn't a collab (as far as I know), and caught me off guard, that's a pleasant way of starting the day. If you haven't seen it, here's the art:

You could say this is definitely one of the pleasures of being alive :b

Hello, I'm Ems :) (It's been a long while since I last showed around).

I'm halfway through the semester, but last weeks have been deathly stressing (considering how calm I am all time, that's worrifying). At least this last week helped me to regain serenity, however, I wanted to make art again, but I've been feeling a bit... tired? I figured out I was kinda putting a lot of detail and effort on some works, when what I need at the moment is calm that messy head of mine, so I wanna do some sketches, I made a thread so you can share me your ideas :)

Also, smol heads up for future projects: New Boxanne game coming, and new Boxanne art as well. I'm also making a comic with some new chars (it's gonna be A rated, just to let ya know), it's gonna be a smol experiment. That's mostly it, have a nice evening (or whichever hour is on your state).

Smol quick updates. I uploaded Nitainaga Island (the game I uploaded here a month ago) to Itch.io, you can see it here, I'll try to start uploading my future projects there too (also, I wanna start making downloable games again, so itch.io might be useful).

In other news, @Nebulate made a smol cute sketch of Boxanne running in the meadows:

Also, we're in the kewlest times of the year; Día de los muertos is at the corner, and after that there's christmas (srry for Halloween fanatics, I don't celebrate that one :b). Excited to see what all of you make to celebrate such festivities in the future.

We've finished setting up the altar over here, is any of you planning to set one of theirs? (or has already did?)

Helio to all of you. It's been a while since I've made an update of my current state, but this post isn't exactly to make an update. I have many ideas for the future, and I wanna know which ones interest you most. Give me your most sincere opinion, as I wanna make sure to both share things I actually like making and things that all of you can fully enjoy.

Kinbari lore

The sociopathic bondage fairy has some interesting history behind, and I'm planning to explore it through comics, would you be interested?

Boxanne 2

It's been a while since our environmentalist box girl had her smol adventure, do you want to take another trip through Boxanne's magical world?

Recommended artists #6

I know most people will want to see this one back, but what I wanna know is how much exactly: would you be hyper hyped for the upload of this series next entry, or can you patiently wait for it?

Nora B. Amsterdam new stories

Just like Kinbari, I'm planning on sharing more stories related to Nora in a comic format. Be noted that Nora's lore is quite simple, and the comic's focus would be more leaned to a "slice of life" format (also, not all comics would be bondage related, as there are other corners of Nora's activities and relations I want to explore).

EmsDeLaRoZ Q&A

If you ever wanted to know something about me or my creations in depth, this is your opportunity. I've been wondering about doing something like this for a long while, but I don't know how much people actually care about me to actually ask me things. Guess asking hurts nobody.

Let me know if any of all of this interests you. As a side note, I have many other projects, but they are still "works in progress" and I like my bigger projects to be a surprise for people. If you want to support my work aside from just cheering in the shadows, you can go and donate me through my Ko-Fi page, or follow me in my YouTube channel (I don't like asking for money, but I guess I gotta think about my future). Thanks for your time, see ya around :DDD
