Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

People have been quick to judge the art portal. Most people take a couple glances and deem the entire thing a waste of time. I've heard both sides of the argument.

But other than the obvious artists that everyone knows, I'm going to point out some highlights that I've found from browsing the art portal these past few days, that might not have received the attention they deserve. All the artists that I'm mentioning are completely new to me that I've found just by browsing the new art portal. None of them were artists that I was already familiar with.

Nahuije has drawn a little bit of attention with his psychedelic sculpture paintings.

UltimatePitchfork was the first person who caught my eye. I recongized his name from Camp North, but I never actually took the time to look through his work. I'm glad I did, he gave me a bit of inspiration I really needed. Some of his work reminds me of Ansel and Nathaniel. (His piece "skirt" is currently my tiled desktop.)

Famiry is defiantly someone who deserves a little attention. His style is deep and I can really feel from his work. I love his work for a band and apparently he does commissions.

LiftYourSkinnyFists is another fantastic artist I've found through browsing, who defiantly has a thick style along with some folksy and dark influences, which I totally dig.

Other artists I love, but I hope you've already heard of, would be Zekey, Buzzwerd, Bryce Rice, and Glassbomb.

If you have anything you'd like to show me, post it here so I can get some good, fresh influences.

Yeah, me too.

it seems as though bright rainbow colors automatically make things better art nowadays

Jun. 21, 2009 | 7:31 PM AustinBreed responds:

I guess you only looked at one of them.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 7:11 PM UltraPitchFork says:

FREE PUBLICITY YEAH! Thanks Austin.

Totally dude.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 7:12 PM Fautzo says:

Meh, nobody really sees your artwork in the art portal, that's why i don't really like it.

Campnorth will be better.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:41 PM AustinBreed responds:

Yeah, CampNorth was great. All of the regulars checked every submission, and even the owner looked and voted on everything.

*cough*

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:31 PM AustinBreed responds:

I've seen your work while browsing. It's pretty neat dude.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 9:01 PM UnderARock says:

Never heard of Famiry or Nahuije , they both have some pretty dope stuff

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:31 PM AustinBreed responds:

Defiantly dude. I would have featured your zombie thing, but I'm way familiar with you. (If you get what I mean. ;) )

Jun. 21, 2009 | 9:51 PM Captain-Ben says:

I love Pitchforks art, it's fantastically grotesque. I was also really happy to see skinnyfists posting art again, his art just has so much style and his use of color is sick

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:32 PM AustinBreed responds:

I've never even heard of Skinnyfists until now! It's fantastic.

Jun. 21, 2009 | 10:58 PM DN83 says:

odd style.

Sweet, thanks for posting this. Now I don't have to sift through as much crap myself.

Well you could check out mine I only have one submitted as of now , but as soon as I get scouted I'm gonna submit more

Jun. 22, 2009 | 5:46 PM AustinBreed responds:

Kind of neat, but it looks like a doodle. Draw some new stuff and upload it and you'll get scouted in no time.

Jun. 22, 2009 | 4:38 AM mo4form says:

That is it. I'm grabbing my pencil. Hope you art fags are ready.

Jun. 22, 2009 | 5:47 PM AustinBreed responds:

intersting artists.

Jun. 26, 2009 | 10:08 PM Zyphonee says:

So... is that guy spewing rainbows or swallowing them?

Jun. 29, 2009 | 7:27 PM AustinBreed responds:

He was spewing them, but it would have been cool if he was swallowing them.

If you can't follow an artists work directly through the artist then the system is incomplete. The art portal is only part of what it could be. And newgrounds staffers are to busy sucking each other off to listen to a suggestion, criticism, reminders. I tell someone something is broken or that something is bothering me and I have no idea of these people are even reading their mail.

Jul. 1, 2009 | 12:21 AM AustinBreed responds:

That first sentence didn't make much sense to me, follow an artist's work directly through the artist?

Jul. 8, 2009 | 1:42 PM Insanimation says:

Some really cool stuff there. Thanks for sharing! I love 'em all!

Hey, I know you.

Jul. 14, 2009 | 4:29 PM AriaSuperior says:

You know, I've never truly been to the art portal, I guess I'm not SOO keen on art, partly because I don't feel I'm that good at drawing. Still, I have my moments.

Jul. 17, 2009 | 7:19 PM Easygrader says:
