Good advice! I used to use pads all the time (i know how clumsy I am) but the one time I don't is the one time I fall badly.

It was my first time skating in like...10+ years? So i should have expected as much would happen lol

I have a stupid question.

How does one gift art to somebody in newgrounds through the upload thing?

Saw some pieces where it @ and says gift for.

Currently working on something that calls for it when it's finished.

Yeah I think if you're uploading to the Portal the main way would be to just @ them in the post. Maybe surprise them with a CoAuthor on it, and tag them as "Inspiration" or something.

About a week after my arm injury;

Still can't write/draw without pain. But I can finally hold a book to read and play (some) video games without hurting myself!


I wonder what the best way to ween myself back into drawing will be? I'm going to be so rusty when I can work again...

Response to The Art Forum Lounge - Off Topic Chat 2025-05-11 19:55:14


I do wish there was a feature for the Forums where any Topic you made would be separated from just comments you made in other people's topics. Lets say you made your Art Thread topic where you post your own art in. It would be nice to easily get to it by having two different sections in your profile Post tab. You got one section for comments you made in other people's topics and the other section be Topics you made. That way you don't have to search or make new Art Threads. Reddit has this ability to what I mean.

I make a new image. I post my new image to my portfolio thread, the wip thread, the drawn anything recently thread, the leme see your art thread, the fuckin nsfw art thread, and then I post it to somebody elses portfolio thread.


What the fuck. Listen, the art forum isnt for exposure, theres no reason to post your image multiple times, its not going to reach more people, theres like 30 people who post here and like 10 that actually read posts.

You know, I have actually hated all of these types of threads since their inceptions. At best they’re just Art forum inside the Art forum. What is this place if not a place to share art, why are we making threads to share art in the place where we share art?

These two got in before I became a forum mod and were big enough to where I couldn’t in good conscience lock them after I got forum mod powers, despite my antipathy for them.

I can understand having the one thread of the sort, just a general Art dumping ground but in the forums - I guess - but I think, beyond the inherent redundancy, their presence is kind of anti community and doesn’t encourage engagement in seeking out and looking through a showcase thread/ potentially giving feedback in the help/showcase threads or having to work to draw post something relevant to a challenge, activity, and/or theme thread.

Mostly you see them bumped together and the latest post is almost always from the same person, like why would I open both when they’re the same thread.

Actually looking at the two threads there’s maybe three or four ones in “drawn anything recently” that aren’t in “lemme see you Art nowww.” And only one comment on any of the Art, the rest are all images or links to images.

I’m gonna do a little more research and consider locking Lemme see your art nowww for redundancy.

I think I just ignored both of these threads for so long I forgot they existed, but the more I’m thinking about it the dumber they are.

Does the site have merge threads feature? That might solve the issue if there is.

@SourCherryJack I’m inclined to lock the newer one (can’t remember the name). Bar a Sonic pic, the last three posts there are exactly the same.


I appreciate why some users may prefer not to post in a self-dedicated art thread, but re-posting the same post within minutes to the same forum is just crap.
