TBA cunts are known for massive amounts of butt hurt crying and temper tantrums, you'll hurt their feelings man....

Really? because I believe we dont have this little gem pop up everytime we post something:

The review space is not a place for you to act like a total asshole. If your review is found to be mean, offensive, or generally not helpful, you will be banned and your account may be terminated.

because we dont cry to daddy rtil about people being mean to us like newgrounders cry to daddy fulp.

lmao. " u suk " I hope my account gets banned thank you and goodday :) :) :)

I completely concur. We're not hurt, we just dont like triumphing morons with only a little spare of thought and dignity. I must admit its rather annoying cause we would love to see NG flourish and shift into something that rather got depth in different things and unbiased. We wanna see the hidden original/creative talents that still happen to lurk on this site making a real change instead of just countless of memes and shit. They say that NG is universal. Id say NG is rather crowded with ego bloated and narrow minded artists who all literally run this site with their overused and unoriginal references these days. Why should we love it? Theres no place left to root here for those who wants to be recognized for their real hard work. So people like kirbopher can take great advantage of the gullible userbase of NG. And you wonder why we have a gloomy view on the site. We dont bitch around, we criticize in hope for anyone to see what NG has grown to become. If they choose to shove it aside, then theres nothing more we can really do to have our opinions equally valued. What a shame.

But, we're not hurt. We just wish things were more... bright around here. Dont think im nagging, im just explaining and taking my liberty to add some amounts of criticism. If you dont like it then too bad. Cause this was my 2 cents.

Yeah i saw the shirt in the store yesterday. I immediately seized the chance and snagged a pair before anyone else but lou, rob and underarock could. :]

Also i loved Sketchy Friends Dance. Lovely syncing. And great audio mix.

oof

Congrats psi. You lucky bastard.

You have to figure that for each sketchbook entry i have to program 4 latest flash submissions and all that other data, 4x108= 432 manually programmed pieces, and then theres the design of it all etc.
It was just very time consuming this year.. I want to take the time off after this one is done to evaluate a more efficient way of doing it. Also the arrival of the art portal will present an interesting scenario to it i would think.

Its cool lou. We feel ya. Hours of work is never over. There aint no beef. Just keep it real like youve always done. Peace.

Art Portal?????? WHAT? On Newgrounds?? Zellomesh already has an art portal fyi :P But damn, ill be on a lookout for the NG art portal fo sho.

And congrats Raguel on your new tablet. You deserve it.

Good god no not karaoke

we already had a DDR event in the august meet and that was more than enough to expose myself in the most silliest way

Haha nah hes not.

He used to be an old art forum reg though.

Congrats kyle, have fun!

Unleash the Dempsey Rollllllllll

congrats on the tablet darx. And further good luck with your work.

Im a muslim, and a Paki just to throw that in.

To tell everybody the truth, im sickened by the mumbai attacks. I dont know anymore how to react to these fucked up events caused by vengeful guerrillas and terrorists. Just when there was a slight moment of peace between India and Pakistan, suddenly some jackass from god knows where decides to send people to commit these horrible acts. No they arent heroes, they are morons driven by their own desires. Dreaming about breaking down their enemies doors with... these scandalous cold blooded attacks. What a shame. What a shame.

I wish i could do something to make everybody come along with each others... my artistic side seems to be the only thing a lot of people got in common so im using that to the greatest extent.

Looks like a good artist. So that means that his entries in the calendar collab were made with a mouse? Well anyways congrats sucho.

And tom, you should encourage people to make flashes about howard the duck, NG is lacking this quality

lmfao

Update: my news post.

Im announcing my resignation from the art forum. Theres no longer any purpose for me to stay here. Im fed up with everything.

So will Miss ReNaeNae please come over here and lock this thread? Its gotten gay enough as it already is.

Im sure it wont take long before everybody has forgotten all about this. Not like anyone would mind either because im expendable. So im just gonna go and die off in the dust. Hammi is history. Ciao.

I just got owned by sinister.

God im a dumb paki. eqfaFEWG

I think im about to explode.

You never seize to surprise me bluehippo. I love your colors. Your creations on the other hand are weird, in a good way. Very smooth though. Also, your abstract shit... delicious.

poop

Wow this is one artistic gallery. Awesome stenciling and great paintings. You seem to doing this for fun. Its notable. Very abstract like drawings too with that phenomenon with the teeth. I once made a munny too, for Luis' project last year. Yours is quite bizarre lmao.

You shade decently too. And you do better on hands than i do. Tons of kudos to you captain.

Usually if i see a picture like that i can just sit there for half an hour or more looking at all of the detail. something about a good picture really makes it work, so u gotta look for that little detail see how they interpreted it into the picture.

Thats when i look up to those who i admire yes.

It's like admiring a picture in a museum, standing there and looking at it. don't try to get motivation off better artists if that's not working, but for god's sake, STEAL THEIR SKILLS!!! there's no law against stealing skills.

As much as id love to improve a ton more, im not the kind of guy who likes to copy and steal from others in order to improve, well i do pick up some inspiration from those who i admire and im influenced by them. And i sure as hell wont mooch off my rivals, growing on their skills is the least thing on my list... actually scratch that, its not even on the list. I rather want to overcome them with skills that i have built and nurtured myself, and prove that my work got depth and effort as well as it is original. This gives me the satisfaction of being something for myself. And i expect some recognition for that shit. Oh well, who cares about this bullcrap. Everybody here is drifting off to a dream of their own. Im through with mine. fffff

Ahh

youve improved quite a lot. Wow. Are you planning on becoming a freelancer? You seem to have a lot of time in your hands to improve on such a short time. Goddamn.

I can spot only some few flaws here right now, the arms. Theyre a lil too slim compared to the rest of the body.

Other than that, great musculature structure. And err, you forgot to attach the image to your post. You can still do that you know instead of linking. I guess its cool, as long as you do that NOW. :o

With a rectum like that, you could make plenty of cash from place to place.

I don't do real life sketches but my little brother does.with two years on him and much artistic computer experience i was leagues ahead of him. hell when he started drawing i laughed at his sad attempts.

Yeah ive been doing that all the time too. And your brother sure is ambitious.

twenty artbooks later he was doing people sketches that were almost photo realistic. I was blown away by this. his detail and shading was unbelievable after so much dedication. After my extra years and learning ahead of him, he finally overtook me in proffessionalism. now he teaches me things and all i can teach him is how to draw on computers lol.

Ah. If my brother was like that too, i would give him my full support.

The moral is don't give up because people look like they're ahead of you. if anything, seeing better atrworks is a sort of boost. you can see how other people draw so well and this can boost your own skill. I'm sure it's been said two hundred trillion times, and ill say it again. practice practice practice.

Competing with people doesnt boost my motivation anymore. I rather find it frustrating now and it gets me down a whole fuckin lot. Im tired of trying to catch up as if this was a race. I wanna drop everything so i dont need to be depressed anymore.

however your drawing on ur first post sucks. i hope u just quickly scribbled that for the sake of launching the thread.

Thats because that horrible drawing was made in 2007. I hope youve seen the date of that post. This is how far ive come. And i still think it isnt good enough, i wouldve tossed this in a fire place if it wasnt digital.

Sighhhhh if i dont want to draw anything anymore then what purpose do i serve by staying? Its depressing to know that youre a puppet who only blabs about whats good and whats not good in this forum. I wanted to be a part of the creating, and be recognized for my contributions. :l

Like adam said, i think his name was adam sue me if i'm wrong,

lmfao

but you can look at other artists and try using their style or see something that they do that you like and try doing it yourself, look at as much art as you can and you'll slowly pick up style and i think you'll start to be happier with your art.

I have picked up several inspirations from other artists over time, but this is now the time where i wanna be something for myself. When i cant even pull it off, then what good am i? Im only happy if people will one day truthfully recognize my art work. This will confirm that i have finally made something good and only then i can be proud of what i make. But if this is still too early for me... then i should be gone and not come back before ive got what it takes.

also if drawing is frustrating you maybe you should try something else, there's tons of different mediums and such that you can work with, experimentation is one of the funnest things to do!

Yeah i have in fact tried other mediums. One of them was when i was a part of Luis' munny project from last year. That was one of the greatest moments i ever had in my artistic... pff should i even call it, "career". T'was fun. But, i wanna stick to drawing. I originated from that field and i intend to kick fuckin ass there.

And you've been drawing for two years! It may seem like forever but in the grand scheme of things it's beans, but your getting there!

Ive tried laying plans on improving on short time, but every attempt have failed so far.

Some of your stuff will not turn out so great, but some of it will. People like your art, i know i like most of it, it's kinda quircky and fun,

I really cant tell if people do like my work, but since youre saying openly now that at least you do then... thanks. Nobodys around to tell me how i do my work so i stopped. How can you find it interesting if it doesnt even catch anyones attention enough to have them telling me that? For me it simply means that my drawings are of no considerable value for this forum.

try not to be to hard on yourself with your art, but never stop drawing, don't quit. Last summer i didn't even pick up a pencil because i was so unhappy with my art, i just didn't really want to keep going at it. But i never stopped atleast being involved with art and going to museums and checking out artists, i got into stenciling and it kinda rekindled my love with art, it's just a matter of finding what you love.

Right now im VERY unhappy with everything i do. I just wanna... leave shit, but now that youre insisting, i really... dont know.

the truth is i can sling all the inspirational bullshit i want, i can only do so much to try and encourage you (i hate to see someone struggle or quit anything that they have potential in). When it all boils down you just need to ask yourself

Do I enjoy doing this? Is this what makes me happy?

Right now, im very displeased. I guess you could consider it as a partial no... and i dont know if i wanna continue hanging around here while i got nothing else to do.

And well if it doesn't, then as much at it pains me to say then maybe your right, maybe art ( the creation of it) isn't for you, but don't shut it out all in all, you can still be active and participate even if you don't want to be on the creating end of the deal.

Why would i continue hanging around on a place where ive felt neglected? I frankly cant stand it. My only purpose for staying here was to showcase my work and grow to be a skillful artist, then pick up the results which have been equal to meaningless bullshit. If i stay here any longer now, i will lose my mind. Too depressing. Ive been no one even with my art work, what would i be without it? There is nothing for me here anymore.

But if it is what makes your happy and you do enjoy to make art and draw or paint or whatever you find yourself to be doing, fuck how good you think you are, fuck comparing yourself to other artists, fuck being the best at it. Do art because it's your thing, it's what you love to do.

If i am to ever draw again, i will only do it for myself. Fuck everybody else, i dont need their approval. Ive just about had it. Ive been depending on them and trusted them that they will keep me alive with my art. I have no longer heart for anyone. But still, much love to those who faithfully stick around for a fella like me despite my half-broken ass falling down to the depths of fire. And i will smile back if what they say about my work really is flowing from the purest core of their hearts. And i will take them to my heart.

Yes i have aspirations and goals in my artwork, and i'm always trying to push my own limits and get better. But i could care less if there's someone out there doing exactly what i'm doing and doing it better. Sure it gives me a new goal to reach, but it's not gonna discourage me one bit, i don't care whether or not i'm the best at something ( i know i'm not and to tell the truth it's rather liberating to just accept that your not the best at something) you don't need to be the best, you just need to do what makes you happy

I used to think like that too... but ive seen how people grow fast and capture viewers with their art work. And it kinda left me alone in a puddle of aspiring artists. Doggy dogg world, like redenvy once said. Ive grown unhappy with my work because it would seem like no one is giving me respect for being who i am unless i impress them. I figured the only way for me to shout louder in the crowd was if i had better art work. After busting my ass really hard, ive only had some people commenting with worthless mumbling rather than giving me proper feed back. Honestly ive lost respect for the art forum.

so what makes you happy hamms?

I would be happy... if i even once or some few more times, had made something that would be grand for both me and the viewers recognizing the skills and effort put into it. I want depth in my art work and i want to prove that i can achieve that goal... but ive grown tired now and im questioning my ambitions. Maybe i should give myself a pinch on my arm and move on...

god damn i should be a motivational speaker i could cash out

Yeah you could lmao.

Btw from this point, i hereby trust you with my whole heart. Youve proven to be a very serious artist with serious arguments and opinions.
