I wasn't even aware that one could get banned for that. I didn't really want to move off Twitter given most of my active following is still there so I'd consider here just being my backup in case twitter goes down. Id like to grow on here if I can though, not just treat newgrounds as an archive like I did Deviantart once I moved to twitter (that account is rather dead when it comes to a following)

Heyheyhi im Biidot

A lot of people said NG's a cool place for people who wanna make music/art/any other creative stuff so I thought i'd start posting here soon

Only problem is I dont know how the site works so i dont wanna accidentally post somethin i shouldnt. anywhere i should go first?

Welcome to Newgrounds, Biidot. I hope you enjoy it here.

The rules aren't too different from other websites, if you've used others before. Like you wouldn't spam, or infringe someone's work, or shoutout/callout to people, etc. the only significant difference is photography is best posted to the forum/BBS, the main art pages can't do photography (just the way it was built; photography wasn't always a part of the norm anywhere). If you're any other kind of art uploader who is original and doesn't use anything for an agenda, you are perfectly alright. The forums/BBS are naturally more flexible when it comes to that and allow more miscellaneous things, though people should still work things out in a friendly way.

I should note, Newgrounds' stance on AI art is that it's not allowed, whether it be visual or audio. The issue of AI art hit the internet like a sledgehammer, everyone had to make a quick decision on that. AI art is defined here, roughly speaking, as any art where an AI materializes a work that has no manual aspect in its creation. The idea is, just like the Mos Eisley Cantina, Newgrounds wants to fill the social void with a human touch and not C3PO's. Meanwhile, works that are mature are allowed if you follow extra protocol and you don't go crazy with it.

As for where everything is, yeah I can relate to that being confusing. Newgrounds is more elaborate than many other places. Remember, we're here for you if you ever get lost and need directions.

Sup! I'm me.

Hi

Hello me! It's nice to meet you.

Well like that was what I was thinking by calling my self me. Unlike other forums I have a whole bio and even my art connected to my name. So a section introducing myself felt like if I shared too much people would be like "um ya I saw your profile bio"

Nice to meet you! :D

hey hey hey

Hello everyone, I’m MondoBilby (but you can call me Slinky). I’m an artist who specialises in weird character designs. Before I started posting art online, I had a big think about where I should be posting it. I eventually decided on Newgrounds because it has a very warm, friendly and indie vibe about it that I really like. I also want to learn how to make video games one day. I’m excited to be part of this cool and chill community :)

Welcome to Newgrounds, Slinky! I hope you enjoy it here. I can agree to that, that's what I love about this place too. Artists thrive on good feelings, and this place radiates with it. I'll be rooting for you on your journey to make video games; remember that a lot of the best video game developers started out smaller than even the average author.

So i've been on newgrounds for a while now but I wasn't really that active then since 2020. its only now that I decided to although interacting with others would be a little hard so basically im gonna do things nice and steady.

I go by the Username Ironheidcross but you can call me Daniel and I am a Digital Artist who loves and draws bug buckets of metal and Big Badonkers. Aside from that, I mostly take inspiration from certain themes, be it sci-fi, mythology and even historic stuff. Im always finding new stuff to try out as of now.

that's basically it

Welcome back, Daniel. Take all the time you need, there is no rush. We're here if there's any way we can help. Newgrounds isn't very picky or judgy as far as places go.

whats up Newgrounds, I'm SakenshiARTs and I'm a brand new artist that just joined this amazing website since June of this year

I love to paint highly detailed and textured art pieces of famous characters drawn in simple and charming art styles.

Down below are 2 of my recent art pieces, constructive criticism is very much welcome as i'm still learning how to paint

I can't wait to share more amazing art with you all!

Welcome to Newgrounds! We can't wait either, the art you have already looks great.

thank you so much i appreciate it

hi everyone! my name is Andrew Bokole, a cartoonist and creator from Dagenham, a little town on a little island called the UK. i make cartoons and i like to talk about them for hours and watching movies for hours. i’m basically a hermit who spends way too much time online and i’m looking forward to getting to know all of you and share stuff that i’ve been working on.

The UK? Hmm... I wonder if I've heard of that place.

lol just kidding, welcome to Newgrounds! From the sound of it, you'll fit right in. What's your favorite anime?

Naruto, all the way. I've been out of the anime game for a while, but I'm just about ready to dive back in.

finally ive located an intro thread!!

hi my name is julian! im an artist and occasional animator. located in the usa + hoping to flee to the netherlands someday

i am very tired of careless ceos and the tiktokification of every social media platform so i made a newgrounds, and so far its been very comfy! this is my first time touching the forums but sitewise ive been here for like a week. sometimes i call it newgourds when i talk about it

if anyone reading this is a fellow lethal league enjoyer plz say hi (and please note i may or may not be more deranged about it than you). im also into things like splatoon and roblox

Welcome to our comfy place. Indeed, that's one of my favorite things about this place, the only other place with that benefit currently is Side 7.

Roblox you say? What's your Roblox name? Maybe we can hang out on there.

Welcome Liv. My name is Vee (or one of my names anyways). I hope you enjoy it here.

Whoops hope im doing this right ☹️☹️☹️ umm hello!!! Call me AM if you want to lol

I joined in like…. A day ago? 2? I don’t really remember but im trying to get used to this website’s layout and rules 😅😅😅 still i joined because i found NG interesting!!!! Hope i can get used to it lmao

Yes you're doing it alright. Welcome to Newgrounds, AM. I go by many names, though Vee or V seems the easiest for people. If you have any questions about the layout or rules, you're allowed to ask them here if it helps.

So adding my greetings, I am YSN a new ng user, I used a lot of thesitebck inthe day and now I am trying to get into the site.

Nice to meet yall !

Nice to meet you too. We can help too if you ever get lost around here.

Thanks a lot, but yeah Ng is a very special site, I still didn't figure what is portals and how does it works ?

They're just the term used for different sections of the site that specialize in different things.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah damn I'm kinda dumb lol
