1) Expand Latest Art by one row?

In my opinion, you should even consider two more rows. Average artists hardly got more than 20 votes when it showed the 24 latest art pieces. It will probably decrease even further now. But then again people see the whole page, when they check "More new art". I think one more row is a good idea in any case. :)

2) Filter all remaining categories to only show E-T rated content. I gotta admit the amount of boobs changes the vibe... I always go to the Art Portal to see a selection of awesome art, so I don't like people coming and thinking it's just a place for boobs.

Maybe the random assortment thingy you suggested for the classics section could solve this problem to some degree already. You could try that for a month or so and turn on the filter if it does not do the job.

3) Best Art this Year needs adjustment to the sort algorithm. We are weighting things by total votes so brand new submissions can't dominate out the gate, but in this case the views on Madness might bring TOO much weight, although it's a great piece.

The total votes being considered is a nice feature to compensate for brand new submissions. But contest entries for example get more views and votes at an average than most other stuff, so there is always room for some unbalances. Same here with the random assortment, it could help to sort out some issues.

4) Perhaps high ranking classics should be a random assortment of the top 100-200. This could be true for all Portals.

I think that's a good idea and could maybe be used for the other sections too. Probably not 100-200, but a lower number.

You must be freaking kidding me. This looks like a screenshot of an 80's cartoon tape.

But in a good way.

It seems you are always good for a surprise, didn't expect an animated version. Good luck with it!

Won't make it in time due to real life issues. That sucks. Sorry folks. :(

In addition to what has been said so far, it feels to me like parents get used to push away the responsibility to companies and the legislature, instead of deciding for themselves what they want their children to hear and see.

I mean if you think the illustrations are to creepy for your kids, that's ok. But there is no need to ruin it for everyone else, just don't show it to your kids.

You wait some seconds.

You conclude that it would have been smarter to keep the squid alive in order to disable the trap. Maybe you can disable it yourself.

No, it's better to wait some more seconds. But you could take a look behind the chest in the meantime.

Nice job on the mandrake by the way

Surface as fast as possible and look around for some useful flotsam up there. Maybe you can refill that health bar somehow.

wha? phone?? eek!! ...don't you have aim, msn, skype, gmail... or some other type of instant messaging?
I did mine via aim... which is free. You can use aim express if you don't want to install anything.

I did the interview yesterday via AIM express. There is really nothing you need to distrust or be suspicious about. You can even create a new IM account if that makes you feel more safe. It was fun to talk about the project, thinking that they will evaluate our collab scientificly or something like that. Lol

Dead pet dragon? This looks really bizarre, in a good way. The guy's face is creepy.

Congrats Kinsei, keep us updated on how it went.

Maybe you can post some pics ^^

Anyway, i voted.

What Rocko said. But whoever made the game Aether deserves my vote and all votes on NG.

Your lineart looks pretty great, there is not much I can offer as feedback so far. I like it, please keep em coming. Like mentioned before, it would be interesting to see some colored stuff too.

This one makes me curious. Looking forward to see this coming together.

good night

Guinea something new

I agree with ToaS, there seems to be some effort put in the content and I personally enjoyed some of them when I stumbled across them in the portal. But it is true that the art is a bit neglected, most likely in order to post new comics regularly.

Congrats, Riot! I know that I am a little late with this. :P

I don't see the big issue here. While forcing recruits to use skype or something is an uncomfortable choice, because it will discourage people from applying, it is after all only their business, they need to make sure they can contact their "co-workers" somehow.

If it is stopping you from applying, then your point is made if you don't apply. If the appearence of their website seems unprofessional, I again recommend not to apply. If asking for religion and ethnicity seems incredibly untrustworthy and probably even discriminating to you, then you are free to not apply too.

If you decide to apply here, be aware that noone can stop from saying "hey I drew this and that and this too, while I worked for company xyz" (self promotion) no matter what a possible contract says. It could stop you from exposing it publicly at worst. And some users in here seem to mix up "self promotion" with selling the image somewhere else.

there was some sarcasm in one of the paragraphs, did you spot it?

But seriously, I wish you good luck with your project and with finding some good artist for it.

It's also an incredibly difficult pose and angle. But I think, the only thing that is kinda off is the connection between the little finger and the ring finger.

Not all posts are going to be pretty... There's a long, long way ahead of me...

I like the sketches and practices, because it's like looking "behind the scenes".

Looks interesting. You chose a difficult angle for his right foot (left from our view), I hope it still works out good for you. Are you going to continue with it or was it just some kind of practice?

Quote from the FAQ:

"How do i get scouted?

Do NOT ask to be scouted! Do not ask in the Forums or send the staff a Private Message about being scouted as these will only hurt your chances. Just submit at least four pieces of quality art and be patient, someone will find you!"

You do not even have four pieces of art, yet.

More info here in this scouting guide: http://ornery.newgrounds.com/news/post/3 88624

Good luck!

Congratulations on daily second, Mr. Object.
