In the Art Portal things will appear immediately on your userpage. Most spammers will submit dozens of images that will sit on their userpage for all the world to see, and that is fine if that's the furthest they want to go. Those images can sit there forever.

So spammers can submit all they want. Fine by me, but shouldn't there be a limit to prevent picture spamming from them? I mean, they could flood their userpage will tons of bad art. Wouldn't that cause some kind of problem?

For true artists, they will submit stuff to their user pages too. Unlike the spammers, however, they will be scouted into the Art Portal. Every single one of their submissions will automatically appear in the Art Portal.

Cool.

The main distinction between the Audio and Art Portals is this: Every single artist who has a submission in the Art Portal can scout anyone. The moderators do not do the scouting, we all do.

So anyone that has already been "scouted" can scout others as well huh? Makes sense.

An auto 30-day day ban for one offense? Wow...

And the Colbert Report/Daily Show/Michael Moore's conspiracy theories don't do that? Can we not bring in political criticism to this thread as it's completely irrelevant? Sorry if that came off as rude, sorry.

As for the art portal, it sounds awesome! I can't wait to be able to submit my drawings and graphics into Newgrounds as I don't really have any skills in animation or audio. Though has anyone touched on the possible release of a literature portal? I know that art is more of a priority but I don't even know if the Lit portal is a myth or a possibility.

I better go scan some stuffs!

There has been talk that a Literature Portal will come out. I believe it's true, though no telling when that will be complete. Who knows? Maybe the Chat will come out before the Lit Portal.

So what can we expect on size restrictions?

I'd assume much much larger than the forums or none at all right?

She initially wanted your hands to be chopped off, so consider that a fair compromise.

Fair enough then...

I would say so, it's already allowed in the art forum. Now that I said that, what will happen to the art forum when this portal is released?

I'm sure there are other people here that have been waiting much longer than you. :P

Tom doesn't care about us? Nonsense!

My guess is that it will fade away, seeing as their is no use for it with the Art Portal. There will be no need to post artwork in the BBS if we have the Portal y'know.

*gasp*! I quoted two people! =O

AWESOME! Great find!

Art Portal? Can't wait to review all the art there once it's finally released.

There's no use for the Flash and Audio forums too right?

It can still be used for art discussion, critiques and questions.

Did you actually bother to find and read the part in the FAQ? It will have an approval system much different then deviantarts system.

The Art Portal is coming out more sooner than you think

im all for the art portal, but it would kinda suck if it ended up like the chat.

No, they still have use. The Flash and Audio forums are used for discussion. You discuss techniques in Flash, and programs/recording/techniques in Audio. And also, these forums can be used to organize collabs.

Indeed. Having said that, the Art forum would still have use. What I fear is that the Art forum will become spammed with threads like "SCOUT ME PLZ" as soon as the Art Portal is released. Of course though, we have the forum mods for that.

Who in their right minds would beg to be scouted? If they were a TRUE artist, they would wait for their art to be noticed.

By the way, how many pictures will be featured on the front page?

Exactly. IF they were.

I can just see it now. Impatient people and/or noobs will start making threads asking to be scouted, just like people making threads asking for modship. Most likely the people who will make these kind of threads are the ones that haven't read the FAQ.

By the way, how many pictures will be featured on the front page?

Dunno.

Oh by the way, if you check back in the FAQ, you can see it's been updated!

I think it's great that they are going to put the art on the user page, and I bet it has to do with the rev share. Cause then, more users go to your userpage and see your art, more revenue for you. It's brilliant.

I need to start learning how to draw and make millions now....

I didn't see this in the FAQ and it might be an issue. What about submissions that are traced?

I'll be more intrigued if they come out with a lit portal.

I noticed it said no photographs but if they're Photo-manipulations, will they be allowed?

Oh yeah. You're the Photoshop Enthusiast! :3

If they use images from the internet, or any kind of pre-made images, then I'd have to say no. Now, if everything in said Photoshop was yours, it would be allowed. Really though, I'm not sure.

My guess is that those kind of submissions aren't acceptable. The submission has to be your original work, so tracings wouldn't be allowed.

If they are allowed however, then there would be the issue of deciding whether the submission was traced or not.
