First, the somewhat edited screenshots...my replies are on the low end of each:

Now about my time here:


As of today, it has been two years, three months & almost seven days since I opened this account. Overall it hasn't been bad... Some people are funny as hell in the forums. (Others are just weird to me, but then zoomer humor goes its own way) It's always great when people look at my work, & that's certainly happened since I started posting it here...take a look if you wanna. While NG isn't necessarily the best option for exposing one's art to the public, it's a fine one for getting the eyes of other artists on it. Other artists' input on one's work is necessary if you want to grow as an artist, & I still do even now.


There is a problem, however: that very growth & change is what keeps me from fitting in here. Female bodies have started to bore me as of late...when you've studied them for well over two decades in a few different ways, at some point they don't surprise you anymore. These days I'm getting back into lettering & slowly into landscapes. But those are not what most Newgrounders want to see. You & I both know what they prefer, dear reader...I was into that in my late teens through my twenties into my early thirties. But that was then, & this is now. I also mostly stick with traditional media--that's one thing that has not changed about me & probably never will. Meanwhile, almost everyone else here works all-digital.


In short: even with my time on NG, I still don't really fit in here.


It's kinda bothersome every so often.
