Hello!
My name is Snafu and I'm an artist from Uruguay! I recently moved in here from Tumblr, and I'd love to meet new artists and friends to draw and shitpost with, mostly lol

I hope to have tons of fun in here, make new friends and improve as an artist! Thank you so much and have a nice day!

For you surprise (or not), I'm not coming from Tumblr (I didn't have an account there to begin with).
I came here to make an account in advance so I have a place to dump my stuff once I consider myself ready to become a new artist/musician/whatever. I'm pretty much "Investing" in the revival of Newgrounds. In the meantime (If I'm not using my time Xeroxing away), I'll either lurk and review stuff or waste my time playing vidya.
I'm looking forward to contributing stuff once the time is right.

Name's Mysterymeat, or will be once I can pay to have my username changed. I actually made this account in like 2008 or something, but I haven't been active here much since.

If someone could scout me as an art boy that'd be grand, ayy?

Heads up, there is a MysteryMeat account already although I don't think it's been active for a decade, I could reach out to the owner though.

Hi, I'm That2D.

I'm a student programmer hoping to make some simple little games to post here.
I slummed around Newgrounds years ago but the publicity of the Tumblr exodus made me realize I could upload HTML5 games here. So I dug up my LD30 submission and gave it a new home, it's previous using the old Unity web plugin.

This might be my new internet home, it's really comfy here.

Hello.

I was an artist on a game we published here and made an account then.
Decided to post my art on this account on a whim recently, been lurking since.

Response to New User Introduction Thread! 2018-12-15 08:08:40


Hi. I used to have an account here around seven or eight years ago, but I really don't feel like reading whatever garbage I posted on that account, so I made a new one! Haven't really touched this site in seven years, but since it's recently been getting some attention I thought I might as well make a new account and stick some art on it. I mainly do pixelart, since I can't use a drawing tablet to save my own life. There's already some art up on my profile that I did a while ago.

Hello, Strailo. Welcome, to NewGrounds.

As my bio says, I am a perpetually tired writer who is doing the caretaking thing for my disabled mother and sometimes for my disabled girlfriend.
It must be hard caring for both of them. I can understand why you would be so tired.

I am female, yes. I write fanfiction and original shit. Depends on my mood, time of the month and the status of the moon.
To go down since I'm about to crash out: Hi! Thanks for the welcome.
You are very welcome.

Yes, it can be. Mostly cleaning and trying not to kill doctors right now but yes.
Yes, some Doctors can be be a pain. They usually have a God complex.

Yes, in the writing forums eventually. Not sure how my male/male is going to be received so I'll do some testing when I have something more substantial then what I have right now. :D
Yes, you should test it out. You could always try throwing a girl in at some point and see if it is received better.

You can always make a new account. Great way to get a fresh start over.

I don't really draw, yet. But I work on other creative stuff like writing when I can actually get myself motivated to do so.
You don't have to draw to. You can submit and help NewGrounds in several different ways.

Hi I'm Mystical and if Tom Fulp doesn't add multiple image support within a single art post I'm gonna drop a fat piece of dookie in my hand and scribble mean things on the Newgrounds HQ's walls.

Expecting for this to get tackled after the new text editor gets popped into blogs.


So here's a question to think on.


The quickest way we can address multi-image is to use this new text editor for the author commentary in the art submission form. You will still upload your primary art piece and set a thumbnail but in the commentary space, you can pop in all your alt pictures, wips, speedpaint embeds, sketchfab embeds, etc.


We would put the commentary in the same box as the art, so if you want to have a straight panel of images (like a comic), you can... Or you can do all sorts of commentary between the pictures and embeds as well.


There are TWO things that I think might not be enough though:


  • The art in your commentary would be sized to fit the layout and wouldn't have a way to view the full resolution version, like you can with the primary piece. This could be a big deal if you want people to access hi res versions of secondary pieces.


  • You won't have a fun "reshuffling of cards" tool for managing the order of your art. You'd still be able to change the arrangement but it wouldn't be as user friendly as a system specifically built for re-arranging art pieces.


Depending on how big a deal that is, we might still need to create a more custom system. I think using the rich text editor for commentary is a good move regardless though so it doesn't hurt to start there.

hey newgrounds! i go by pax and i've just arrived!


i've kind of really been getting sick of the handling of Some Other Site lately, so i've been trying to branch out and start posting my art elsewhere. hopefully things improve back there but i sincerely doubt it


anyway, happy to be here! i basically know nothing about this community and how it rolls so far, but i'm looking forward to scoping the joint out. i draw comics, write fiction/fanfiction, and screenplays. or i at least try to do all of those things. i'm also really into movies and filmmaking and my big fave is hot fuzz, but my very favorite piece of media is psychonauts.

I'd be against using the rich text editor for the sake of consistency. Not being able to access alternative versions of the same image with the same quality would piss off a lot of people (I know some people that are very anal about these things), And I don't think littering the art portal with alternative versions would be a responsible thing to do to appease that demographic.


Take your time if you have to.

Hi,

infrequent Newgrounds lurker here. I've decided that since Tumblr imploded and this place has seen an influx of new users, I should take part in the community. I'll try to post things here and maybe make acquaintances/friends.

Hello, I wouldn't say I'm newish, registered a few years back and just lurked before briefly forgetting ans then remembering this site, which I feel bad for as there is some great talent in the art section which i do in part, so I'll be bringing stuff from my own art profiles onto here as I settle in like a realtive that suddenly decides he wants to crash in at you're place over christmas!

Response to New User Introduction Thread! 2018-12-23 08:33:04


Aaahhhh, why didn't I find this thread earlier!.. I've already set up my page here, more or less. All right, since I'm still new here, I guess it's okay to introduce myself once again.


Hey there! I'm Ryou, an amateur artist from the edge of the world. Yeah, I'm here because of the tumblr mess. I have galleries on other platforms too, but tumblr was pretty important to me because it allowed posting a lot of stuff - different media types, wide range of ratings, and so on. Newgrounds fits my needs from what I can see so far, and looks nice and welcoming.

I can't say my drawings are consistent, I draw both sfw and occasional nsfw things, fanart and original characters. Of course I hope to share the latter here some day, though I'm still thinking how it can be organised. But for now, there's only a bunch of artworks in the profile, and an art thread. Hope you'll like it!

Response to New User Introduction Thread! 2018-12-26 09:41:06


Oh, I completely skipped this thread!

Hello, I'm another Tumblr refugee, huehuehue. I came around from the first wave of Exodus in late November.

Despite drawing for quite some time now, I never managed to gain any traction due to an woefully sluggish upload rate. I'm currently trying to experiment on a style that is simple and quick for me while still maintaining a pleasing aesthetic. There's a lot on my To-Draw List, so I might spend most of next year on that... ^~^U I also write on the side. And VA when something compels me, always been an interest of mine.


Oh! Right. I should prolly point out, I've been doing a lot of NSFW stuff lately. This might persist for a while, while I'm still in the rut, but occasionally there's something tame sprinkled in for variety. :P

Hi, I like drawing comics for fun and self expression.

My inspirations are old shonen manga, bande dessinees and a bunch of old and new bishoujo manga ; i also like (relatively few) US Comics and super robots

Please check out my webcomic http://starsea.thecomicseries.com/ if you have similar preferences and make sure to give me some hints or critique.

I'm not exactly new, joined years ago. But it's been so long I don't think I know anyone here or vice versa. When I first joined I mostly did traditional art and was just learning how to use my tablet and photoshop. While I'm still no expert outside of traditional media I am proud to see how far I've come since I first started here. I'm hoping to keep improving and maybe someday try my hand at making animation.
