If you haven't been scouted as an artist, read this.

Posted by MoeAnguish - 3 weeks ago


I'm in a good mood, so i thought i'd do this one more time since i've done it already a couple times and it seems to have helped a bunch of people who went on to help others by scouting them too.


So, what i'm offering here is to scout anyone that hasn't been scouted to the art portal yet, granted that their works meet the quality standards of the website and its art mods (which is basically anything that isn't visibly low effort and even lower experience), and that the people who apply to this would respect the art submission rules.


The reasoning behind it :

Getting noticed in a sea of internet content gets difficult every day, a little push might be helpful to those who need it, and someone to believe in them even a little bit could go a long way. hence why i'm doing this.


Essentially, this is no different from me going around and looking for people to scout discretely - which of course nothing wrong with that, but what i hope this would is encourage more people to scout more artists that they otherwise couldn't usually think about finding, let alone looking for since well... they're kinda trapped under layers and layers of art, so spacing out the places you can find them helps with locating them.


The catch :

As stated before, i will strictly scout anyone whose works meet the standards of what's usually in the art portal and those who are honestly dedicated and experienced but can't get past being noticed enough for their efforts.


Anything that doesn't comply with the art portal rules linked above, and anything that doesn't show enough quality to be in there, will not be considered. i will however, offer advice on what can be improved and how to do that, so i wouldn't just dish out a "no" on its own.


The reason why, for those uninformed, is that if i were to scout someone who would end up breaking the rules, i'd lose the ability to scout people and as such, end up un-scouted myself or more. the same thing would apply to anyone i scouted if they went on to scout someone else. so the main two rules here are :

  1. Respect the rules.
  2. Do your best if you're scouted. sketches or lower effort work can be marked as a "sketch" to avoid any complications.


As for right now... :

If you haven't been scouted, do share your works here. if you know someone that deserves a chance, tag them or have them contact me (as i won't give any advice nor scout them if they don't state that they want it. i won't impose myself on anyone).


If you personally would rather NOT comment under this post with your works for privacy or whatever, you can PM me too.


In closing :

My main aim behind this is to help anyone that needs it get this little extra push forward so they can make the most out of this site. but also, if you happen to be someone that can scout others, i hope this would make you think it's a good idea to see if you'd like to scout some artists.


Have some music.

1 bazillion dollars please

Sorry. the main reason is, some of your works mix sketches/doodles with detailed works in the same upload and some of them have "questionable" themes and commentary.

I hope lots of "deserving" artists notice this post - and that your generosity does not backfire on you. In the past I would often seen waves of "Why did I get de-scouted?"-posts when an artist who did a lot of scouting lost their privilege because too many people they scouted turned out to be bad apples. :/

That's obviously something to be wary of, but then again, a careful approach goes a long way in realizing if someone's going to stay scouted or get you both unscouted fast. in the 45+ times i've scouted people, the one thing that always guarantees that someone would stay scouted is their consistency and dedication to the act of drawing itself and presenting themselves as such.

And sometimes you can get what kinda person they are just by talking to them anyway.

I would like getting scouted, but I dont think i deserve that :P

so... just... how do i get better at this? i need some help right now...

Silly suggestion but; switch to pixel art or a less precision demanding medium. pixel art is obviously precision demanding, but digital art is even more so because things may not look as crisp and clean so easily and it might be especially difficult with having to work with "soft" brushes.

This way, you'll be able to make things that look nice enough in a shorter time span with less of a steep learning curve, not to mention that there are thousands of styles you can go with, from 2bit (the black and white pixel art) to pc98 (google it), but the point is; it's easy to start with, even easier to keep going with. and it can lead you to getting really good at art in general.

And finally, look at something you really like and try drawing it yourself. for example, if you like anime, keep trying to draw anime characters. trace if you need to (without claiming the traced works are "your works") or draw from memory and compare it to what you wanted to draw initially, but the idea is; get drawing and draw what you really wanna draw as if you can already do it, until you can ACTUALLY do it like you imagine it.

@MoeAnguish i actually used to do a bit of pixel art before i was on newgrounds :P though i probably wont switch back to pixel art, at least not completely... anyway, thanks :D

No problem! Of course no need to make a complete switch, not even i did this nor do i plan on ever doing it. It was more so my suggestion so you could make something you're gonna like with less steep learning curves for getting everything to look "high quality".

Good luck!

i should not have been scouted, the person who did it must have made a mistake.

Contact staff and tell them to unscout you, maybe?

Can i get scouted? if not, can you tell me how 2 improve 2 get scouted in the future?

I'd say you're almost there in terms of getting scouted. If you keep drawing with the same or more detail as your last drawing (at the time), you'll be scouted sooner than later.

It's just a matter of putting in more detail and care than usual every time in order to improve.

@MoeAnguish
nah im already good G

Nah, you don't sound like it.

@MoeAnguish

You've become boring kinda quickly, my dude. I was at least willing to see if you'd be funny but nah, this is the most disappointing 'trolling' I've ever seen.

Come back when you're better at this, cause nah, you really don't sound like it.

@MoeAnguish okay! thanks 4 telling me!

No problem, good luck!
