Like the title suggests - is there a "standard" or desired size for your art when you upload it here on NG? I know it varies depending on the project. Was just curious what dimension you guys generally upload your pics at whether it be hand drawn or digital art?

Whenever making things screen display, it's important to consider how it's going to be viewed. Your 3840 x 2160px image might be amazing, but if everybody has 1080 x 1920 screens it doesn't matter because all that information is going to be lost anyway. The work file should probably still be full size, but the one for display must be fitted the media it's going to be displayed on.
In Newgrounds' case all you need to consider is the screen size of the users because it goes full scale when you click on the art submittion. Most desktop monitors are 1080 x 1920 or larger. 1360 x 768 pixels is standard for many laptops these days. The browsers borders and navigation bars eat in on this size, occupying about 150 px in height and 20 pixels in width. From this, you can assume the largest possible 100% display size for 1080 x 1920 px will be 1770 x 1060 pixels.
Personally, I tend to work in 2880 x 2000 pixels, which I save as 1440 x 1000 for art portal display, and 720x500 for forum display. As for the dimensions, the industry standard formats are illustrated below. For a taller, narrower format, just rotate 90 degrees.

Wow I wasn't expecting such a detailed response. Thank you very much for this it is greatly appreciated. I'm no artist and I can't really draw worth a damn (my 2 games are proof of that) but I was considering uploading some of my art just for fun. Recently took an art class and fell in love with drawing with charcoal so I was planning on scanning the imagines into my computer but didn't have a clue on what dimension to save them as for the art portal. Also taking a 3D-modeling class and I have a few users here on NG, as well as family members back home, that want to see what I learn to create. So doubt i would ever get scouted but that's ok :)
Once again, thank you so much for your input :)
