If we were, then possibly.
But the world " prides " itself on having such a diversity.

The intellectuals will always have an advantage as long as there are idiots around.

I'm sick and tired of people trolling and getting my reviews marked as useless when I just give my 2 cents on the game. Nothing harmful, just criticism to the author on the flashes flaws and strong points.

I too want the old system back.

I agree, crtiicism is always deemed as negative, just because you don't think its a master peice.
Its like people don't want to be helped.

Its all opinion really.
The mods have their rules, but some chose to be more leaniant with them, others abit more strict.

Personally i think repeat or blatant abbusers should get the bans and locks.

Then again its opinion on who is a blatant abuser...

To an exstent.

Too much of a fine line between well constructed reveiws and aphabetically compiled shit.

Pen lids.

Modern take on Icarus.

On that stupid face ( the lol face or whatever its called ), they eyes look up, add a tongue.

Practice some weight of line,the pecks look like carbaord, glued onto his chest.
Softer to none exsitant lines to help interpret less depth.
Use softer lines for veins and muscle tendants also, as they only protrude a certain amount.

I knew it, i absolutley knew i reckongnised them from somewhere.

I agree, the charcters are quirky, and yes, predictable to the title.
The Large chap in the purple get up, reminds me of the Mayor from nightmare Before Christmas.

I like how sharp the line is, the fill reminds me of cell art.

I'm assuming there are more charcters? Some forms of monster or beast etc, would be intresting to see.

Good designs mate.

... overall i feel that the art portal could use with more mods on top of it on quality control... but the thing is art is art... iv been to some world famous gallerys of art in the world and seen total rubbish on its walls... i agree alot of anime / manga style stuff is getting in... beacuse thats what the most common art in users aged around 14-16 which is what i suspose what newgrounds has... i think if the rules where tighter and the art portal more strict, it may become a place for the best of the best artwork... who knows... il just keep helping people with artwork to improve them untill something is done :3

Thank god , i had a thought that i was just ranting on in vain.
You're right, i had high suspicions i was going at it abit early, the art portal hasn't been around long, i should be patiant.

Its a shame, like you say there is no right or wrong we could argue 'till armegeddon, but i dislike 90% of the genric anime crap posted. Some of it has truly good design and carry out, but originallity has never been their strong point.

And yes, i always pick up one positive point of anything i reveiw ( at least ), but critism is the best form of help.
I love critism personally.
Hopefully within the next 2-3 days i'll finally get some of my sketch work uploaded. Finally will have access to a working scanner.

I've never bothered with the Art forums i must admit, but i think i'll start to stry from the chaotic general now :)

I have ...a few ...quibbles about the Art Portal.

The main one being the quality work that gets through.
Its pretty damn obvious that a fair amount of shit gets through the portal, when no effort or time is put into it , and it seems to get through by people's little interbuddys scouting them and voting 5 straight away. Being
generic also helps if you can't be bothered to put in the effort.

I see others work, and although they may not be the best artists on the site, they deffinately have potential .
And yes i'd like to see the Art Portal full of nothing but the best, but at the same time people will never become the best, unless they receive crit, so they can self improve.
Unfortunately these people get less attention then the ' lolface' drawing idiots we harbour.

I feel the scouting system is a good way to get artists through, the same as the flash portal, but instead the work can be uploaded and found at a diffrent time ( an hour, a day, a week later ).

I just feel that be able to scout someone is a privallige, its showing the artist has been reckognised for their work, but as you can see, its abused.
Possibly some sort of limit to who can scout? Some form of qualification on who could scout, and how may times they cans cout in a certain time frame...

My last point is the reveiws. Basically i like to reveiw submissions, but in them i give crit, and i like to see how the artist responds to them, to see if more advise could be offered/ the conversation taken into a little more depth.
But i have to either favourite every submission i reveiw, or remeber where it was/ which one it was.
Some form of notification would be good, like the one under ' My Account ' that shows " Flash Reveiws With Author Response ".

I really love the art forum, and take it seriously. AFtre all this timewaiting, and the Admin's hard work on making it, i feel its taken a little forgranted.

If i'm skipping ahead of plans and rushing people, then sorry, if this has helped then alls good.
I just needed a good rant about it.

* Thanks to ReNeaNea for pointing me in the right direction to post this.

Thats a nice image.

Like a pin-up zombie girl.
Good design, and good pose.
I like it.

I'm sure i've reveiwed one of your peices recently, although i wouldn't swear to it.
The name rings a bell.

You're good and need a little more reckognition.
Don't let it stop you from working, keep it up.

I guess Newgrounds was the wrong place to ask about a Newgrounds related tattoo. It seems like my friends who know nothing of the community are more supportive than most of you. I'm still getting it despite the general negativity I'm receiving.

I suppose it is a cool idea, i mean it would be good on the eyes, and i suppose you'd be happy with it ( which is obviously what counts ).
But is it reallly that significant to your life? A flash game you played on the internet?
Like someone said, try explaining that to your grand kids.
Is there nothing abit more significant to YOU, that shows who YOU are, or maybe even your own design.

Although you may have loved it as you've grown up, would you use Hominid to dexribe yourself to a stranger?
If you want it, then get it, i'm sure when you posted the pics people would respond with " Wow u r teh smex lolcat ", but is that really the sort of support you want?

People are just saying think about it, before you have to have it stuck on your till your dying day.

These people are truly fucked.
And it doesn't suprise me that people into furrys are capable of such fucked up acts.

i think ive matured a little since then being that im 20 now and not a teenager pretending to be hard behind my keyboard.

Things never change.

Can't say i've read the graphic novels, or watched the film.
Being an avid comic collecter i feel i'm missing out.

Should i read then watch, to grumble?
Or watch and then read, to boost opinion?

Or just fuck the film and get the comic.

Open up a can of Shaq Foo.

I know...

alright no need to get shirty, well you cant just insult some one in a review, you get flagged banned etc

Insulting someone directly, with no valid arguement, should result in the offender getting flamed for being a twat.
Otherwise the freedom of comment and speech should still be allowed.
I could argue freedom of speech in its COMPLETE entirity for hours.
