If you really wish to give home to many artists from Tumblr, this is one thing you've got to think how to solve.
An influx of Tumblr users with a new mindset, maybe...? ;) The community's the people after all... hope with time the people change, or attitude's change, and all fractions may live in peace and prosperity here too.

Also, @TomFulp, I noticed I was able to get Triple Exp today, are you planning to have Triple Exp as a thing until the end of the weekend to encourage people to vote, vote, vote on all the new stuff coming in?
Also been wondering about this... it seemed like it might've been to just get everything in the Portal out of judgment quick though. If it was: it worked!

If im allowed to ask questions here, Im curious about the scouting system. If I post art here, how are people going to see it if it isnt in the Art portal? Is getting scouted an easy process, or is it more exclusive to super experienced artists?
Also, what is the best way to gain an audience here?
Not sure you got an answer on this or not? There's a pretty good guide here that might answer some wonders: https://ornery.newgrounds.com/news/post/388624
...regarding the best way to gain an audience: just keep doing what you do. :) Putting out art consistently should keep letting people know you're alive, and let new users notice you. Also never a bad idea to post a newspost once in a while, and interact with the community when you can. And enter contests, and collaborate! So much to do here if you have time to get involved. :)

This IS a good idea. :)

I'd really like to see and option to combine your art into separate folders or categories because my mix of traditional inkwork, digital NSFW art and digital innocent sci-fi/fantasy stuff makes my gallery look annoyingly eclectic and inconsistent.
I like the idea of folders. It really would make the art page a whole different thing, but playlists are your second best option. Could use those to collect images of any certain theme or type. Or tags. Or newsposts. It won't change the main page, but it's a way to at least link to a specific showcase when you want to.
Also, an option to upload multiple images in one entry for comics and pieces with alt versions.
Seems this thing might be on route!

Yeah I'm curious about the scouting system too. How does this work?
If no one sees my art how does it eventually get scouted by someone? lol
Hey, if you didn't get an answer to this either: https://ornery.newgrounds.com/news/post/388624

But please, it's been a day guys. Newgrounds will always improve certain features and get more awesome, but Newgrounds is Newgrounds, not anywhere else. And I think that's what makes it so great here c:
Well said. :) I think most people still want the same things though, like multiple images per post, and more tags. And we already got more tags! Seems like y'all might really be speeding up the process over here. ;) Hope you find your way and we all keep improving things.

1) Specialized search. As you know, NSFW arts often come with certain ... preferences, usually tagged. It would be wonderful to see the tagging / tag search systems expanded to make it easier for people to find the kinds of arts they might enjoy, especially if they're into certain specific / niche things that would never in a million years be on the front page.
Seems like this is on the agenda! Tags already exist, but they should be getting better integrated with the elasticsearch cluster further down the road (basically letting you filter by specific tags, multiple tags etc, total freedom).
2) A videoplayer that loops things without the 'loading / buffering' icon when the loop resets. As an animator that makes loops, this irks me!
Traditionally, those really short loops used to be GIFs on the art portal only. But yeah that would be good.

1) Please make it possible to turn off the rating system for our art. (The thing where users can vote with stars)
A few cents on these points of view...
This has been discussed before, but it's not much of a place to get feedback if users can't give it is it? Maybe the feature will get introduced after all if the demand for it's big enough, but personally I'm against it. I feel like the essence of creative content overall should be contributive. Creators contribute their art and users contribute their opinions. Turning it into a one-sided showcase takes away that exchange; prevents growth and community. IMO.
On the flip side users do have the choice to turn of their ratings, though. If for some reason they don't want to judge that way.
2) Please allow us to set "defaults" when uploading art. Specifically, I find it very tedious to uncheck the CC license on every single one of my uploads.
Agree with this though! Would be really useful.

1. An option to upload art that has been commissioned by the user with full crediting to the original artist, so the site can still effectively be used as an image gallery to quickly link to without disparaging content creators with art theft or lack of attributing.
I hear this is on the todo list too. :) Mentioned a few pages back.
2. A better, well versed commissioning section of the art portal. Dedicated pricing, customer rating systems, authentication, etc. No 'Pay in Exposure'. This will ensure that artists can post commission rates and commissioners can easily find artists to pay.
Seems like a complex bit to add, but if NG ever gets an audience big enough it makes this effort merited that'd be pretty cool too. Maybe it could be made with the same underlying script as The Collabinator, apart from the whole payment thing (which is probably a big thing) it seems a bit similar. There have been ideas about making a shop where users can add their own downloadable content too, so all of this could tie together nicely.
3. More tags per picture. Four is just simply not enough.
Staff be working fast! :D
4. A moderated Collaboration portal. A lot of the ads seem illicit at times, but that may just be me.
Yeah, I saw one of those recently too. We just haven't had any problems with this before, but if the userbase drastically increases...
