You could pick Pico's friends, like Nene / Darnell.

Or go with the classic TankMen / Portal Bots.

Check the Picollage 2015 as it has art of several others, note however that it's mostly to discover famous artists as it doesn't show the names of the characters/artists portrayed.

Of course you could also choose a modern character like Ena / Boyfriend.

It only has to be about Newgrounds.


I think they're all cool so I'm not much help in picking one.

draw whatever stuff from Newgrounds that you like. Madness Combat, Pico, Seal Clubbing, Britney Beatdown, African Detroit Cop, Clock Crew, Friday Night Funking. Whatever works really. Though Fulp said all in his post:P

ah ok sorry, even though I'm late right? It was the 1st the deadline


No, deadline is MAY, currently we're on April. I felt the same way, and was rushing a piece for this special day. Turns out I have a month to spare.


Also, don't apologize for such things haha

I literally made a Newgrounds account just to participate in this. If all goes well, this will be my first official animation, and I can't believe it took me this long to get started on the nerdy life I've always dreamed of, creating animations, doing silly voiceovers, all that jazz. Then again, it's better late than never; maybe this is the beginning of something beautiful...

Pico Day started in the forums as a day celebrating Pico but has become more of a Newgrounds Day, where the theme is to celebrate all the cool original characters you can find on NG.

To participate, create a movie, game, song or work of art celebrating something you love on Newgrounds. Upload it on May 1st and tag it with PicoDay2021.

As always, you may not use unlicensed commercial music, like songs from the radio. This is an ideal time to find music in the Audio Portal or from our royalty-free resources. Every song in the Audio Portal has info in the lower left column specifying if you are welcome to use it. Some musicians would even love to create an original piece for your movie or game!

Our advanced search options are handy for searching by song permissions and song length. For example here is music between 1:30-1:40 in length that has a CC license allowing commercial use.

There are also artists who don't choose a CC license allowing commercial use but do check our exception box for stuff that is ok to use in web-based movies and games. You can also set date ranges to only browse more recent music, as well as browsing by genres and tags.

Similarly, please don't use audio from film / television / etc..

I don't know how to animate, draw, or code (Though I'm learning python) But I had the idea of making art of the boyfriend from FNF going against Buddy Holly, a rocker from the 50s. However, I doubt anyone will make that, or give me credit if they did so (I might make that, but where do I submit it?)

Yup, that is fine! FNF music is in-universe / in-community.


  1. Where do I submit it? (Sorry if this is a dumb answer)
  2. Is it ok if I use characters from the real world? (I was planning of making art of the Boyfriend from FNF competing against Buddy Holly, a rocker from the 50s)

No. The problem with long movies is keeping viewers engaged.
