Top artist on newgrounds?

Posted by CptBeefcake - July 11th, 2009


Obviously I'm not, thinking that would be naive and stupid, but apparently my art holds the top two spots for highest rated works of all time! Yet they only have about 10 ratings each which is pretty unfair to the newgrounds community. I definitely am not the most accomplished or best artist on newgrounds, most of the time I look at works and can only stare at how great they are.
I think the Art Portal has some balance issues with the voting system.

It would help if there was best daily or weekly so that art which has faded to the back can resurface for others to see, instead we are constantly viewing the latest garbage. That way when an artwork is put to the back it can still come back into focus instead of being stuck on the page 175 of the art portal. I love some of the art in the portal, and I would like to see them above mine where they really belong.

dude
you're like
my fave artist here
you works are really awesome
and i mean it

your support means a lot, I thought no one would care about my stuff on newgrounds

This is because your works are unique and visually pleasing. Sure, people recognize skill in the works mentioned, but an artist is not ranked by detail, complexity, or anything else like that in the people's eyes. The people rank you on how much they LIKE it. If it isn't interesting, but it's detailed, who cares? It's boring. Yours however, are fun to look at, have a flow, and kepp your eyes busy around the work. Are you the top of the list in skill? No. Are you the top in style? In the eyes of many, myself included, yes. It is all about perspective, not true, root skill.

I totally agree with that one, I see a lot of people applauding hyper realism, as opposed to impressionist or rough works, but drawing isn't done to replicate reality, take a photo! I definitely hold the values of style and creativity over realism, I have seen many instances where this skill is used to recreate the mundane. I truly look up to people who can imitate reality, but use their own creativity as inspiration

Your art is legit! Btw hurry up and post your flash dammit.

not going to happen anytime soon

oh don't be silly
ravish your success
it does only come a few times in life
why not savor it?
:3

hahaha, I'm already off the top by about 100
it was kind've dumb to expect they would stay there, but It was pretty awesome knowing I was number 1 for a while
