Hey, Newgrounders! Happy New Year’s Eve! Let’s all remember to take the time to not only improve ourselves, but also to make it a good year for those around us. Anyways, welcome to the forum for the Parappa The Rapper Art Collab!

I want to host an art-collab, because I have participated in lots of them and it inspires me to give it a shot. I’ve had lots of great ideas for collabs, but they would be too big to manage, so I want to start with something smaller. I know I should’ve waited until the end of 2026 for Parappa The Rapper’s 30th Anniversary (the first release being from Japan), but oh well.

INSTRUCTIONS/RULES:

Both scouted and unscouted users can join. Although, please try your best.

Follow the art portal guidelines properly. No A.I.-generated pieces, no tracing, no hate-art, and at least have common-sense.

Draw me some Parappa characters in full-body; it doesn’t matter if they're from all the games, made one appearance, or an anime exclusive character. Here are the character sections for the Parappa Wiki down below. There might be more characters, but these are the two best pages I could find.
https://parappatherapper.fandom.com/wiki/Characters

https://parappatherapper.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Characters

Let me know one or two characters that you want to draw (via the comments), and I’ll add your username to the list. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TcSviYSoGZVRCJ5lh_yDhIjR7HH5lpdstUNpcO3Zeqs/edit?usp=drivesdk

You can do up to 2 characters, and every character will have 5 entries each. Be sure to check the list before participating; if a character has 5 usernames next to them, you’ll have to choose someone else. I get that most people want to draw Parappa, Sunny, Katy and Lammy, but let’s give every character some love and representation.

Have the piece be a transparent PNG with no background (we want just the figure), and have the canvas size be 1,080 by 1,080 pixels. It saves data while also giving us HD results.

You can do a larger canvas if you’re more comfortable with that, but keep in mind that the drawing will be resized. You can also leave the background white if a transparent PNG is not possible on your end.

This collab will be rated E for everyone, so no middle-finger gestures, nudity, or any offensive/mature content; keep it family-friendly.

No shipping, because I don’t want any shipping-wars in the comments, even if the ship is legal or official. I also don’t want any participants to get harassed.

You can post the image with the file-dump link (or whatever file-sharing application you use) via this forum, or via my Newgrounds or Discord DMs. However, if you choose the DMs route, my rules for them still apply, because I don’t want myself or others to get in trouble, so please respect my boundaries. Hopefully, I also don’t have to make a new account for the file-sharing tool or application you use.

If you want, you can also choose a character from Jung Rhythm; SEGA’s answer to Parappa The Rapper. https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/Jung_Rhythm Even though it says: “Non-Sega Games” on top, the game wasn’t released on any other console. I may have Parappa fans mad at me because of this, but please hear me out.

While there’s plenty of Parappa characters, I’m not sure if there’s enough for all of us to work with, so I’m leaving Jung Rhythm characters as an option too. Keep in mind, some of the Jung Rhythm characters have designs that would not fly today, so be careful; see if you can make a modern interpretation. If you want to see Jung Rhythm gameplay, here is the best video I can find:
https://youtu.be/8i27oAWqHxQ?si=TsYYEwMCKBxWl3_D

If I respond to your request for 1 or 2 characters with a smiling emoji, your username is added to the chart. If I respond to your drawing(s) with a smiling emoji, that means the submission is approved and on the canvas.

The deadline for the collab will be March 5th, 2026. If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know. I’m not sure how big this art collab will be, but we’ll see.

Our 11th annual Pixel Day is January 23rd!

Participate by making original pixel art, animation, games or chiptunes. Publish your entry on January 23rd and include the "pixelday2026" tag.

If your work is making its world premier on Pixel Day, you are eligible for our prize competition! Include a second tag, "pixelday2026-compo" to confirm it is a world premier piece and is competing for a prize. If you are sharing something you've already posted elsewhere, stick with just the pixelday2026 tag.

If you’re a pixel artist who has never shared your work on NG, we’d love to see you join in! You can enter multiple categories or submit multiple entries. You can also team up with friends to make stuff.

Fan art is fine, if the art is your own original pixel work and not sprites ripped from games.

If you’re making a movie or game, try partnering with someone making chiptunes on NG! We can’t host content with unlicensed commercial music, so avoid using songs you don’t have permission to use. Here are some music resources.

1st - $325

Prizes will grow with support from the community. If you’re down to sponsor, use the donation option on the Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards Pixel Day. You can also specify a category (art, animation, game, music) if you like!

📆 Flash Forward Jam

Our sixth annual Flash Forward event will be officially announced in early February but you can start making a Flash game or interactive movie right now if you plan to participate! Read last year’s Flash Forward launch post for an idea of how this event works.

Prizes are TBD but you can use the donation option to donate towards the prize pool at any time. PM me a heads up if you donate towards Flash Forward. It would be great to kick this off with a big prize pool.

📆 Pico Day

Like last year, Pico Day will be a lowkey (no prizes) event on April 30th, where everyone is welcome to share NG fan art to celebrate Newgrounds!

📆 Low-Poly Day

Our second annual Low Poly Day will be Saturday, June 6th! Read last year’s Low Poly Day launch post to get an idea of how this event works.

📆 Halloween Spooktacular

As usual, October will be our Halloween Spooktacular.

Game & Animation Jams

If you’re relatively well-known on NG and you’d like to host a game or animation jam this year, let me know! These jams tend to do best when they are hosted by prominent people in the community, for example if you’ve made popular games or popular movies.

Monthly Prizes

We’re always looking for sponsors to expand our monthly prizes! If you can give at least $100 per month, you can get a special thank you and promo link in the monthly awards post.

@matt-likes-swords just came aboard to add a sixth prize tier for movies. Play Matt’s games on Steam!

Welcome to the Ghost Stories Reanimated Collab!

EwanDoggie here. Recently, I watched an anime with the best dub in existance called Ghost Stories.
Here's what it sounds like.
Yeah, fuckin' insane.

But I was wondering; what if I hosted a reanimated collab of this show?
That's what I'm doing right now.

As insane as the dub is, we gotta add rules.


HOW TO SUBMIT

The episode that is chosen is episode 5.

There is no deadline. When the episode is fully reanimated, I will announce it here. After that, don't PM me about the collab.

Anyway, send that PM! Come on! I'm waiting!

I wanted to start a collab centering around CLOWNS !!

ANY type of clown is allowed, it can be original characters or characters from existing media.
If you have any questions about what's considered a clown you can always ask here and Ill try my best to answer your questions.

This starts from today, FRIDAY DECEMBER 26, all the way to THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 2026. So about 3 weeks from now

Anyone can join, both scouted and non scouted.

Post your art to your profile and link it below on the comments here, have a CLEAR PNG so I can paste it into the background. The background will be 3000 x 2300 so keep that in mind

Add the hashtag: #clowntowncollab so it's easy to find

You will be credited as character designer in the collab, if I miss anyone then message me in the comments when I post it so you can be added.

Here's mine:

The background is here: (wip atm, will add when I finish it)
