Is Newgrounds a viable place to post things ? Twitter seems impossible to grow in unless you bother other artists and somehow they pitty you with a retweet. While Instragram has a shitty format imo and you have to upload things in a square shape.
Newgrounds at least seems like a place you can interact with other creators and grow popular amidst people that have a passion for creating content
Would any anons here like to share their experience with the site ?

They have art contests with actual money prizes and stuff, which seems pretty nice though I don't know if you art actually gets viewed if you are a total newcomer with no mutuals

Seems to me that unless you do a specific style(kind of edgy western anime) you're not gonna get traction.

Is there any active art community that doesn't emphasize anime?

I would say reddit, because anime work posted in r/art would never usually get pass 1k upvotes, while any other form of art would get 10k and above.

u need to get scouted before ur art shows up in the art portal, that means ur art ends up between the other 99999 unscouted artists with varying art qualities. u have to be lucky to be found but it goes pretty quickly tho.

Viable if you do porn or animations ranging form simple ones to more elaborated.
If you have a series you want to do, your best bet is still newgrounds.
For drawing, If you have no recognizable style or are a beginner, you might as well just not bother until your reach a higher skill.

Did you post some of your work there ? Did people actually see it ? I find the view system nice because it at least shows some people have seen you even if they didn't like or commented your art

Yeah, i've used it for a few months, got scouted, got a good amount of views for a nobody, but never managed to to gain any followers and rarely got 5 or more ratings on a picture. This was on my sfw account.
I made a test with nsfw where i barely put any effort into it yet had better results. People would see it more, rate it and follow. Even when the work i put there was absolute dogshit.
All the big names with the biggest followings there are porn animators.
There are very nice artists there but they get overshadowed by the sheer amount of porn that gets uploaded.
NG got this monthly poll where if you're selected to participate, you take works, rate them and put them up to be frontpaged and even they say "porn doesn't need help getting noticed"
>pic related

So, all in all, if you want to go the porn route, go to NG.
Do animation loops like everyone else. Have your distinct style and pander to a niche and you're bound to succeed.

been dumping my shitty furry porn on there for a few months, haven't bothered anywhere else since I'm using it more as an archive than a sharing site. It doesnt have the same userbase as something like Twitter so you might not go "viral", but i find it to be a comfy spot. Biased though, I've loved NG for decades, just never had an account

I hate how the newgrounds gallery uses cropped thumbnails. Can't tell what the fuck the image will be until you click it.

You can crop the thumbnail yourself.
>dont know what it is until you click it
That's the point.
If the whole image was visible, you would scroll past it.
Of course, implying you have the attention span of a fly, which the average user has.

>> No.4755169

>>4751250
it's a much smaller pool and is kind of the best place to get started with a following.
there may only be a few thousand people who visit it but its way more likely those few thousand will see your art than a handful of the millions who access twitter.
start building a following there and then maybe join twitter when you have a already established following so you aren't just swallowed into the ocean of unknown artists

You're not really missing much because it's either
ms paint tier garbage
porn posted with the wrong rating on purpose to generate views from children and horny teenagers
degenerate fetish cringe posted with the wrong rating to generate views from children and horny teenagers
nude pin ups of current anime trend posted with the wrong rating to generate views from children and horny teenagers
beg fanart
beg fanart of porn artist OC posted with the wrong ratings
int fanart of porn artist OC with wrong ratings
And very rarely you get good, genuine stuff from good artists that have been barely noticed even though they've been years on the platform.

Nah as I said I use it more as an archive because it does not compress images. I got more followers on pixiv than on NG in the same timespan (4k vs 1k) and have like two-three autists who interact with every drawing I post. I'm not that quirky and probably draw fanart for a fandom that is not welcome on NG but not that I would care.
