As a davemadson fan, I decided to make this davemadson-inspired character avatar of me:

I hope you like it!

So this is a “sample” of my art for those curious about the earlier W.I.P.

Response to Underrated Artist Hangout Thread 2021-02-06 18:29:16


I’ve been really meaning to meet new artists and show my work to others who might be interested! Hi everyone :D


I’m a woman who draws sfw and nsfw. Whatever I’m feeling honestly. I dump everything on NG because this place is great and I don’t feel censored. My sfw stuff is more horror based but I’m just experimental in general. Think liminal spaces and dream like scenes


I make paintings, both traditional and digital. I work back and forth. I also crochet and knit a lot of little pouches I sell


I got into art when I was a kid. My dad painted and I watched a lot of cartoons. I went to a magnet art program in middle school, art high school and art college. Art is my life now lol


My goal would be to be able to live off my work and just have a great network of artist friends. I’m a bit of an introvert but I’ve been tryin to put myself out there

Great stuff! Sounds like you're quite capable with all these mediums. Looking forward to that calender project of yours! :)

Response to Underrated Artist Hangout Thread 2021-02-08 06:11:11


What an honor!! So many compliments I can't believe it, thank you so much for this, it's nice to see appreciation not just for me but also all these other wonderful people, who absolutely deserve acknowledgement for the hard work they put in their art!


I have been working full time as a freelance artist since september 2020 and it is a dream come true to draw all these fantastic characters. I mainly do commissions at the moment, trying to make more room for my personal art, but I really enjoy drawing these characters because I am continuously amazed by the creativity of people!


So thank you, again!

Thank you, you're a sweetie <3 Sorry it took so long to see this, I don't get to hang out here too much, but I try to pop in once a week and check up some toons. I sometimes feel like I missed the boat on all the online stuff as I'm bloody old now, like 30s now. Sometimes I feel like I was pulled in different directions, lowered my quality to hit demands (mentally, mostly), and ultimately made me unhappy, so I've stripped back a lot of that and I'm focussing on what's good for me now. So really appreciate the kindness you've shown in the shoutout, it helps me figure stuff out and where I should be heading in all of this.

Despite this there are still many artists on this site who put out great content and still don't get the recognition they deserve. And as a consequence of being underrated, it can be difficult to connect with other artists in a similar situation. Which sucks, because connecting with those who are also just trying to make it like you are, is a great opportunity to learn and grow with each other and learn what it takes to make something of yourself out in the vast, vast, cutthroat world of art.

So here is this thread to come and save the day! Maybe. Not sure whether this'll actually develop into anything or not, but I feel it's most certainly worth a shot, especially since I haven't seen anything like this in the BBS before.

If you're an artist who makes great art and you feel you have an unacceptably low follower count - or whatever the case may be - consider this thread your new home! If you want to interact with your fellow underrated artists about your crafts, your work ethics, why you create the art you create, your future plans for where to take your art, career choices, hobbies and other non-art-related things, whatever ends up happening! Let's try to make this a friendly chill zone where everyone is welcome.

I'll kickstart this thing off by pinging a whole bunch of artists that I personally consider underrated in hopes that they will heed the signal and flock on over! Feel free to ping artists you consider underrated yourself! I'd recommend not pinging anyone with more than 50-60 followers, but obviously this is just a general guideline. I'm also well aware I'm pretty much only pinging those who are primarily active in the Art and Movies Portals because that's just where my expertise is, but underrated game devs and musicians are most certainly welcome here too!

Anyways, let's get this thing going hopefully.

You can if you want, it just shows people who enter the thread by the most recent posts the context of what the reply is to.

Great stuff! Sounds like you're quite capable with all these mediums. Looking forward to that calender project of yours! :)


thanks! I’m here to support anyone else on their journey as an artist. I found that newgrounds helped me realize my own passion through people who came before me. I feel humbled by other artists who have inspired me to just pursue it and I believe in anybody else who chooses that. I mean it was really only other artist friends who encouraged me to start showing my work. It’s a network of support :)
