Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Man, all these post about people acting like assholes have a lot of sense into them. Yeah, people who think that their work is real awesome but they are really not, just plain pisses me off. And trolls who post random pics that are not even theirs and making threads about it.

And also, noobs kinda annoy me a bit because of all of their links and threads that lack starter pics. Some also post a thread for every work they do, I mean we linked the rules right? And most of threads in this forum are just art threads that were made by people and never to be updated again.

If you guys don't post soon I'm taking over the art forum. >:D

I only did that to encourage you guys to post. :D

Tutorials can be very useful, not so much as an end all be all, here is what to draw and how to draw it.

I see them as a small tutor on a page, explaining something they aren't exactly sure how to draw for them self, and usually, a lot better worded than I could put myself and with visuals no less.
To say they are useless is a little overboard, but they should sure as hell not be your only source.

As for comments, yes people do whore themselves out comment-wise to attract a little attention to themselves, but that doesn't mean that's the mentality of everyone. Personally I've stopped caring about getting other people to see my stuff, the fact that I have people I know who enjoy the stuff I make is enough for me, and if someone just happens to stumble on my work, be it a thumb on DA or on newgrounds or whatever, I'm sure as hell not gonna complain.

fifty when people come in with honest requests or looking for artists dont just jump on them with the rules, try to point them in the right direction

that is all

Thanks a lot Ashman. It's already 2 am, I guess my mind is a bit cloudy.

The only problem is that I feel that sometimes I just don't know enough about art to give a proper critique and that I'm just blabbering uselessly without giving anything actually helpful. Especially when I take a look at my own artwork.... I know I've improved (finally), but it's still really weak, especially when you compare it to most of you guys here. I want to be useful, and help out the little guy, but there's always that little voice in the back of my head that's saying "Don't try to help them, you don't know jack-shit about art, you know nothing about form and technique, you're just rambling like an idiot and everyone you've said is useless".
Am I the only one?

No idea if you are the only one, but wouldn't it be better if you just don't say anything. It's the same as listening to a discussion and the topic is about something you have little to no clue about. Would you join?

And talking about tutorials. If I would ever go back to art again, I'd have to master how to draw smooth lines with the mouse (Ya, I prefer to draw with the mouse, rofl), but the main problem is visualizing anything in my head except for weird ass faces. Backgrounds? Objects? Perspective? It makes me loose hair out of frustration. Problems with smooth motorics is a nono.

But hey, I'll keep an eye on the stuff ya peeps make.

actually you were kinda helpful, but people have gotta remember the request thread is only for paying requests, we should really have a non paying request thread

What, a "stuff that will never get done" thread?

Blah! There will always be those that know more than you and those that know less. You help when you can!
...unless you're one of those people that thinks they know everything ...in which case, you're an idiot :D

Hey guys im back-ish actually not really im just at my friends house.
i will be back around this next week cus im moving to my dads for the summer where i can mooch off of his wifi =D.
so ill be making more cock jokes than you can endure....

well, today is turning out nice. Had a good drive, although I found I need to replace my breaks, but I dropped by Bookmans to pick up a couple of DVDs and some comics, an got lucky. I was some sort of winner and got them for free :P

although if I knew that was going to happen, I would have picked up that dragon book and those other DVDs I was eyeballing.

If the sig makers crew can do this service, I can't see why something similar doesn't exist on the art forum which requires a similar amount of effort.

... also some text somewhere that says there's no guarantee that your request will be made.

I think this is actually a good idea - and as non-paying customers, they'd have to work out something that would please both the artists and themselves to be drawn, because well, they're not paying for it. Although that's not likely to be too much of a problem - it's hard to be anything less than ecstatic with something you got for free.

LOLOLOL! What the hell was that? Seriously. I have never seen anything like this in our lounge, not that I don't like the lounge the way it is.

If we tried anything like that here Kraig and Nae and ToaS would rip our heads of.... but in the Audio forum the mods promote it!? lol Rucklo

I agree. If we try anything like I think we would earn a perma ban.

They can't perma ban... and I think i have made enough posts today to keep my post count in its growing state... so goodnight :)

That's all stuff from the montreal meet... and it's hilarious. If anyone here ever did anything that epic, I'd faint from disbelief! :P

Bullshit, I'd be so impressed if you guys did something that was actually funny.

BOOSH
