So I have a some old stuff & three more recent* pieces up. Please take a look.
What I like about NG so far: It has community spirit. The Website Which Will Not Be Named used to have that in the early 2000's...wouldn't be surprised if there was an exodus here from there. Much positive spirit & haven't seen much trolling so far.
What I dislike: the feeling that I'm out of place. Perhaps that can't be helped, considering. There are tons of millennials & 20-something zoomers on here. I have no problem with that; in fact I make it a point to talk to them so as not to get stuck in my generation's views. That's an easy trap to fall into as you age. But almost all these kids do their stuff entirely on Wacom tablets or similar devices, with various image-editing programs/apps. I get it--they're convenient; you can undo stuff & so fix your mistakes; it's much cleaner than charcoal sticks/pastels/other trad media. These kids are growing up with phones in their hands so it's only natural for them to make their art this way. But it has an effect on the art they make.
And they don't know what they're missing out on.
So much of the stuff I see on here is game-related, anime characters, etc. A shit-ton of toons. I respect the better game developers on here, definitely...it must take a lot to build a functional computer game, especially if you program it & get into the actual code. But all this stuff is utterly unlike what I'm posting here.
Maybe it's just the way the art world is going now. If so, then I'm not a dinosaur...I am a fucking trilobite.
*relatively speaking, that is
3/3/23 Edit: There's a ton of porn on here, too. Some of it is amusing; the rest is boring AF. If I was desperately hungry for views I could make some myself...but I won't. Not anytime soon.
