Newgrounds.com, a site that used to be only for flash movies/games and music, has now added an art section.
Users can submit up to 20 works of art, and then if an established artist likes your work, they will add it to the gallery. The gallery has 5 sections: Ilustration, Fine Art, 3D Art, Pixel Art, and Other.
You can also choose to allow people to use your art for their works, like games or movies. Really just another way to get your art seen, and by possibly different people. I know some of you already know about it, because I've seen some recognizable art there. They also have a very nice upload/crop system.

Except for the old pixelation :P Nothing neutral about purple!
Site's not bad. I think I'll wait a couple months to see what they do with the place. The dim the lights options shows they know the busy layout is a problem when viewing the art. It seems like they'll really need to overhaul the site theme for the art section if they're serious about it. Just about every art site I know has a neutral background and minimal junk bordering around the art.
quality control will be a factor, but i think most important is that if better art is posted, worse at won't be as much. A site like this has a massive userbase and while there is decidedly more direction to it, the bulk submitted here is good work.
I am still surprised the ooold newgrounds account i have is still active.
they've had somesort of cleanup, yesterday there were 177 pixel pieces, and now only 152, and there were also some added, so it's going in the good direction.
Some of the worse stuff on deviant art looks better than they are putting there. Its like they don't even know what pixel art is
Well maybe we just need to whip it into shape / Give the gallery a good start.
I like it because it's different than PJ, because you just submit your best works. And the cropping is awesome. Lol.
^^ My icon, yay :P
Anyway that's actually pretty cool.
Maybe I'm just impatient, but I wonder how much longer I have to wait to be scouted. A lot of worse stuff than mine has made it in before my stuff, so I do wonder if whether or not one gets scouted will turn into a popularity contest...
Oh, and they deleted my Santa gif for violating their terms. Not specific on how, though. Maybe they thought it was stolen?
You need to get scouted first by some already scouted artist. See the FAQ
i somehow don't see my pixelart in the gallery, i did submit it tho. And i did say i want it in the public gallery, does anyone else see it in the gallery? should be on the first seen page on date.
Did anybody else notice how much non-pixel art there is in the pixel art section?
I could edit my pixelart there and link to pixeljoint if you want, as I'm owning there scorewise (yet)
i love newgrounds really, their flash gallery is unmatched.. but right now their pixelart gallery seems worse than deviantart's.. i hope they get their shit straight.. not submitting anytime soon otherwise
as it stands now theres less actual pixelart there than oekaki crap and just random stuff. plus the quality of some of the work there is dubious.. i mean.. whats the point of moderating it then anyway
Yes, it would be a good opportunity to bring a whole new audience to PixelJoint. You should get the best artists here to submit one thing, leave a link to pixeljoint to help entice people in.
best thing we could do is that we all leave a link in our pieces to PJ/pixelation
Eugh...
I really don't like the Newgrounds community...
If I ever feel so inclined, I might try it out, but for now I think I'll just stick to the Joint.
I guess it can't hurt to get some new exposure and see what a different audience thinks of the things we make.
yes but this is what they say about the wisdom sword
"The art portal is intended to be filled with quality work that shows effort and actual artistic vision and skill. This is overly simple, poorly made pixel art."
Goes to show that if you want to see pixel art, this is the place to come. :)
God, some of the things here are so terrible, they're an insult to pixelart.
Jesus, look at these!

And they are JPEGed as well, so it doubles the blow

HAHAHAHAHA!! Met strikes again!
"this shit is not even pixel art. making it on MSPaint doesnt not make it pixel Art, just in case."
Kongregate, the flash game portal has recently opened their art gallery too. I have submitted some work there, and wil take a look here too.

i cant stop seeing the "rating everything" system as a weapon of mass vengance when you give a bad critique/score.
