Well it's my understanding that photo-manipulation is still no no in the portal. However i know personally I leave them alone if they are EXTREMELY well done and artistic. So the one you posted for example i would delete.

Ok, in that case then, do you have any tips for how to be better at photoshopping?
Because I thought the one I posted was OK, but apparently, it doesn't seem to be, how can I improve on these? I'm using PS 2.0, so it's fairly difficult to do so, but I would still like some feedback on improvement.

Im sad to say that i've lost the will to go the art forum since the portal, it feels like its lost its engery.

Still, i've kind of got bored at the portal aswell, since the flow of images and voters has dropped.

Can you relate to this?

Maybe if you took a number of photo's yourself an manipulated them all together Extremely well into something that looked 100% real.

I sure can. But take into account that lately there has been a lot of things going on, and people are a little fatiqued. And it is summer time. That sure changes my prioitys a bit. Once tings have settled a bit then people will come back with new energy :D

No, i didn't mean to knock you. The piece was okay, but that's all that is was. OKAY. Photo's are against the rule, and photo-manipulation is doubly against the rule because 9 times our of 10 you did not take the photographs you're manipulating yourself. If it looked like you probably took the photo's yourself, and that the piece was thought out and artistic (not putting celebrities heads on animals/plants) than i'd probably let it slide, and a different mod could delete it if they really wanted to.

True.

HAH, I have quite a few of those at this point, I don't really know why, but it's entertaining to make.

Ok, thanks for the clarification!

does it stay in deleted art forever or does the system clean that out after awhile?

Like a deleted section? I don't think there is one, if something gets deleted it's gone.

at least that's my understanding

I mean each user's private deleted-art interface from which they can undelete art, like this
http://alyssashafer.newgrounds.com/art/d eleted

I deleted a piece of art a long time ago, and it's still in that section. I don't think it disappears.

Huh, did not know about that, learn something new everyday XD

I'd submit something to the art portal but I'm madly in love with the ad space on my profile.

Pretty sure that stays there until you make a news post :P

post art and rule the world!

I found a person who are breaking the 3 piece rule. Shouldn't he be unscouted? Who has the balls :P

yeah, I dont have 4 pieces up either...

I think if you were scouted before the rule came in its fine.

I'm fairly certain it goes away the moment you've done anything that warrants a thumbnail (art, flash, etc.)

it seems i can't upload any artwork, and i have more than 4 pieces uploaded. It keeps saying that I have not selected a file when I already have.....Strange. If you could fix this soon that would be awesome XD

Never mind, guess it was a weird glitch but it fixed its self when i tried swapping images and put the original back in again.

How do you guys think we can drum up more participation for the contests and collabs we have here in the forum? It gets hard to want to keep doing this stuff for the users when people don't want to try.

Dang, I was unscouted when the DD hacked Newgrounds

Maybe you could get Tom to award store credit to the top 3 pieces.
Even like
$15
$10
$5
So you could accumulate store credit by participating in multiple contests and eventually work your way up to buying that Dr. Fetus shirt you always wanted.

There is allready store credit awards for pox's contest if Im not mistaken.

Anyways, I don't think that the store credit should be needed. People shall join because is fun, good practice, good for the community. Why shall they get paid for a product that will never get sold anywhere else? That is just bad buisness. It is fine that they toss a bone once in a while. But I don't care about the money.

+ there are far easier ways to make money. Get a job damn you! ;P

would be nice if newgrounds had a feature on the front page that shows all the official contests. Including flash audio and art.

Think people just need a break from it all. There was a time when the COW and ChOW threads died for a few months and contests were limited. After that people started participating a lot more.

I think you are right about that.

Good idea with the frontpage too..

Don't let Sucho compete!

My lovely assisstant Renaenae graciously tested this theory out and your beautiful ads will remain intact even if you submit art to the portal.

So get to it!
