🌣 SUMMER OF SHOUT-OUTS // DAY 4 🌣

USER BEING SHOUTED OUT: @TheShokBlok

AUTHOR OF SHOUT OUT: @53xy83457

☼🌣☼

☼ How did you find this user's account? ☼

Noticed some of their shenanigans in the art portal. Turning people's characters into zombies, I think it was- https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/theshokblok/thriller-night

☼ What made you follow this user? ☼

Either that or might've been following them already from the art portal. I follow a lot of people. (also on Newgrounds)

☼ What is your favorite thing that they have made? ☼

Look at her cheering him on in the background! Friggin' adorable.

☼ Is there something in particular you'd want to see from their content in the future? ☼

Nah, let 'em cook.

☼ Is there anything in particular that reminds you of this user? ☼

Blue cuboids.

☼ If you could frontpage a piece of work from them, which would it be? ☼

It already was but here's a nice community group shot-

And another-

☼ Have they done any community work, be it collab related or on the BBS that you are fond of? ☼

Yes, as previous answers have alluded to, one or two. But we'd be here all day, here's the big one- https://www.newgrounds.com/series/381163/ng-gotm-2023

☼ Do you have any great memories with them that you'd like to share? ☼

I'm sure a more personal example exists but that would involve my mashed potato of a brain actually remembering the memory so I'll just put The Games of the Munchies again.

(despite the suspense of the finale nearly giving me a coronary)

☼ Have they ever helped you in any way on Newgrounds? ☼

They're not the only one who runs Battle Royale simulations! They supplied this background for mine- https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/theshokblok/theatre

☼ Have you ever collaborated with them before? ☼

Among other virtual death sports- https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/theshokblok/the-birb-the-pumpkin

they were also in this- https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/976351

☼ Anything you'd like to tell the person you're shouting out? ☼

☼ Have anything that wasn't mentioned in a previous question that you'd like to mention here? ☼

I'm aware ten other people will probably shoutout ShokBlok as well but that's who I thought of this time. Just take the compliment you square bastard!

53xy was the first to shout out shok, so their finale words were actually a CHILLING prophecy

USER BEING SHOUTED OUT: @TheShokBlok

AUTHOR OF SHOUT OUT: @EmsDeLaRoZ

☼🌣☼

☼ How did you find this user's account? ☼

Both exploring art and interacting on threads

☼ What made you follow this user? ☼

I like their art, I like their personality, I like their humor

☼ What is your favorite thing that they have made? ☼

Like when they do art related to other users or random sketches. Nice to meet new people and put the brain to work.

☼ Have you learned anything from them, or what they make? ☼

I've learned not to take my own portfolio too seriously. A bit of shitpost here and there hurts nobody :bb

☼ Is there anything in particular that reminds you of this user? ☼

bloks

☼ If you could frontpage a piece of work from them, which would it be? ☼

Just to pic one thing, as i'd grab everything in their account.

☼ How does their work inspire you? ☼

unironically, it inspires me to work less. I am way too much time in front of the computer doing art, games and music, and I forget that sometimes, something simple and funny is more worth than doing ultra intrincate works (specially if you're working alone like me).

☼ Have they ever helped you in any way on Newgrounds? ☼

They made a Kinbari pic. That should have brought new fans to my account.

☼ Have you ever collaborated with them before? ☼

Not really, but maybe I should, I wonder if we can make an interesting game or collab together.

☼ Anything you'd like to tell the person you're shouting out? ☼

Give Nerine a "hello!" from my side. She probably doesn't even know me tho

☼🌣☼

thats all our blok-talk for today! certainly is nice to see people come together to show them some love, they put a lot of effort into making gifts for people in the newgrounds community and its nice to see them get a return on that even in a small way. (standing in the most obnoxious possible angle to show off my shokblok pfp) im something of a shokblok fan myself i must say
