Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I wish I get into heaven.

I'm sure we've all at some point or another got an opportunity to make a potentially great, or terrible deal.
Whether it was doing something simple like handing over cash in a shop, or hard like a cruel dare, you must have reaped something of a benefit from doing so, small or large. So I ask y'all, what was the best deal you ever made?

For me, I can't think of any worth saying that I've experienced, but one time my friend was convinced 100% that this 'foamex' stuff back in secondary school could not be split without a saw, and was willing to bet me £20 that I could not break the stuff. I didn't accept as I didn't doubt it- the stuff was thick as anything and was dense yet durable and proper solid. I proceeded to put it under my foot and pull on it, and after a valiant amount of force crammed inbto 3 seconds, the slab of artificial meat snapped in two with the frequency of a small bomb. He was gobsmacked and was quite glad I didn't accept his bet. Nothing amazing at all, but the point of this thread is to find some deals people have made that could have gone either way, but still have been practically, or literally, life-changing.
-And to see the odd humerously pathetic one.

If you can't think of a great deal you've made, what was your worst?

I don't know if 'pigma microns' are the same as what I am suggesting, but you could use some of those t-shirt felt tip pens, they stay on like a year I think. On shirts, anyway.

Since when was that a necessity? I never plan my drawings, and I'm no amateur

Well ain't you moving up in the world.

I really think you should have finished it first, to have a half decent starter pic.

The Pianist
Withnail and I
The Motorcycle diaries

A few you might not have heard of

These c.o.w ideas are rapidly getting shittier each time. Genitals? what on earth are we to suss from that? Something with a cock, nothing more. There's no imagination in such a topic.
The 'gentle giant' was rubbish too, I mean, there's no originality! Even though some have the talent to make something great out of such ideas, the topic concept should reflect the talent of these people, not make them churn out something below-the-bar.

This one's for you!!!

The shit you on about?

Yeah, wtf's this terrible picture doing in the art forums.

Full of some very wack shit, the other day I looked up 'loli'- having heard it so much and never actually knowing what it meant- among other typical pr0nz you'd find on any guy's hard drive, fetish-related items, yiff, and general disturbing media files I have discovered floating around various sites.

They're good drawings, pretty interesting

Good stuff, but keep it all in one thread.

It actually gets more delicious each time I see it.

That's right funky

I thought it'd be cool to get something marking we were in the NG sketchbook tour. I see there is a shirt availiable- but any old schmo could buy one and claim he was in it. true, we can't get a free one each (too expensive) but I reckon something of a discount for participants would be a good idea.

Just a thought.

Looks like a rancid meatball.

I am disappoint.

This is ace! You have real talent for illustration and it's a great storyline too. Well done, can't wait to see the next installment!

True, but I still think it's a fun idea, as it is like seeing what your old art could have looked like if you had a decent amount of skill way back when. And even if your skills with art aren't quited honed yet, you can still get a look at how it could be- just for fun.
I like art threads you can participate in, and this one's quite different to 'I'll draw what you want' or 'I'll draw your stuff in my style'.

-Usually, it's because the drawing is too faint to be seen/picked up by the scanner. You could outline it darker, or, what I like to do is draw a large, thick black boarder around the drawing, so the scanner picks that up and everything in it.

-Your name is shit and no-one would like to illustrate it for you.

Pencil n' paper's a lot better than MSpaint if you want to get better at present.

That is godawfully hilarious.

Naaww you're doing fine. Only thing I'd suggest is making the shading a little more natural looking than being a tad blocky?

I don't really think it'd make sense if it were from Iceland, as it has a finnish name.

No-one really cares- because just look at it. It's Icelandic.

Bastard

You must create your own art thread to showcase any work. Or use the art portal.

@op: really nice, clean style, very well done! Ace images here.
