Hi everyone!

Posted by emiliapaw5 - November 4th, 2010


I'm new on this website, don't really know how to get around here. Any usseful tips?


Comments

Greetings, and wlecome to the most greatest site in all of cyberspace. I'm going to give you a few pointers on how to languish within Newground society. 1. First we have Blogs which is here! You can blog as long as you want just don't post the same content over and over again since it takes up space on the web's server. 2. Chat, Chat is basically a communicative page here within Newgrounds. You communicate with fellow Newgrounders alike. Unfortunately Chat is having some technical difficulties at the moment. 3. Downloads, The name says it all. Download movies, games, music, ect. 4. Literature or Lit for short, Read the logs and past event that helped shape Newgrounds forums. 5. Mature or as I like to call the "naughty" section of this web site. 6. Network lets you promote your home site from faraway as fan-net which is linked to NG.com's server. 7. Ranking lets you have a look at various Newground user names in a ranked order from the highest all the way to the lowlyest of the competetive positions on this site. And finally 8. Submit Content. Submitting any form of content that you may own on from your computer: Art, Flash movies, Flash games, ect. And that covers the whole function of Newgrounds system and if you have more question check out Help/FAQ or check out About Newgrounds to get more background information on this site's foundation. I hope this clears up most of your wonders, I hope you have a wonderful day.

Thanks a lot for the useful tips! I'm sure I will feel at home in no time, really appreciate the time you took to give me a detailed comment :)

Welcome!

My tip: You should submit more art, your pics look awesome. With 4 pieces you become eligible to be scouted and when you are scouted by another user your art appears in the art portal.

Check this post:

Have fun here!

Thank you :) I did what you said , 4 pieces posted, I'm not sure what scouting is, I'm guessing it's a good thing :D

Oh your link doesn't want to work

Welcome and continue your good art.

Thank you :)

Sorry there's a typo in the link.

Correct link: <a href="http://ornery.newgrounds.com/news/post/388624">http://ornery.newgrounds.com/news/pos t/388624</a>

Oh thanks :)

It sounds interesting

a few thoughts on the welcome. first and foremost WELCOME!
second stay out the forums unless its art,lit,or progam. general and such is a soul taker.
third great art, and don't forget to expand btw just because no one comments doesn't mean no-one is wacthing.
lasty enjoy yourself and beware of the clockcrew! B

Hi.

In short, it's a decent site, good gaming - but art and music are a bit under-scored.
DeviantArt.com is really the site for your quality of work. I am a user there myself, so I can say that honestly.

Stay off the forums. Seriously.

Music to listen too: Reasoner and Hania

Flash games and films are a matter of taste, but there is real art here, under the oddities.

You have fantastic art. Keep it up.

Thank you for the heads up. What is wrong with the forums? Another person mentioned the same thing as you. I am on Deviant already, just thought I should expand my horizons :)

pro tip dont drink and drive

I will definitely take your advice :P I might just spill my drink

I am new too but I have to say your art is fantastic, thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for taking interest in my art :)

First thing first... FAN-Tastic artwork your making... i tend to lurk the artportal most days to see the newest and greatest artwork the people of newgrounds has to offer... i hope you dont use newground as a staging point to post your artwork from DA and do no use any other of its features such as the art fourm, its daily update of users games/flashes and what nots, along with fun competions to take part in from drawing, carlving, writing and making games... im sure you will get used to things if you hang around alot...

Tip one: if you want to level up your account so you get cooler icons, head over to the flash portal... watch a few moives, play a few games... and rate them from 0 to 5 and if you do that five times you get 10 exp... you can only do this once a day

Tip two: Upload artwork in a steady stream... dont bulk load artwork up as only a handfull of users on that day will view it... if you upload one every other day you will get a wider range of people to view your artwork and check out your stuff...

Tip three: head over to the art fourms if you have any questions about artwork... or how to improve... or even start your own art thread... but you already did that one :3...

Pro tip: enjoy your time here :D

Thanks for the useful tips! I started leveling up, I didn't know how to do it till I read your comment.

I've been uploading a piece a day, thanks for that tip-very useful too :D

With art like that you need no tips, great work!

Hehe thanks but I have a long way to go

Welcome, welcome! The artists here will "talk shop" with you, once you comment on their work. A few of 'em are vulgar, but don't let that throw you - they just want to get a laugh! Hope you have a positive experience.

Thanks :) Yeah, I've noticed some are pretty rude or make useless comments in their reviews, it's not too bothersome at the moment :)

i don't really have any tips since i mainly use this site as a time-waster, but when i noticed your "lady in the water" work on the front page, i had to check out the rest of your work. i just love all of these. i really enjoy the colors, and your use of the female form. they're all haunting in different and beautiful ways. very nice work. i can't wait to see what you come up with next :D

Thank you :) I'm really happy that people are enjoying my art

yeah,its a pretty good site with lots of stuff and is a really good place to get noticed.Unfortunately it didn't work for me but it might work for someone of your potential.If you need any more help just PM me I'm open for questions.

Thank you for ffering me help, I might just ask you a couple of questions :)

Well your art is one thing! Just don't be stupid on the forums and think before you speak because it goes on your permanent record!

A few people have been warning me, thanks for your comment :)

Being Frontpaged 4 days after joining the site and getting scouted not long after is quite an accomplishment on itself soooooo I'd say you're going around preeeeeeeeetty well.

What program do you use for your paintings?

I first start off with doing a sketch in photoshop, then when the lineart is done I switch to painter, when everything is painted I switch back to photoshop to add final touches and some textures.
