Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hello.

(copy and pasted from this art forum thread, cos I'm a lazy git).

This newspost is all about M&A Monday!!!

What's M&A Monday?
The idea is to flood the portal on the same day with the same thumbnail, right at the same time, just like the Friday Floods that have ran in the past.
The difference with this one is that the flood will be made up of Mature (M) & Adult (A) rated nudes. Bums, boobies, willies and minges, it's all good.
This activity is created to encourage artists to be less snobbish of gratuitous nudity and get to grips with anatomy and flesh, while promoting helpful feedback from the reviewers. For this reason, I've decided to run the Flood like a competition, and give out prizes to the best illustrations and reviewers!

Rules for Artists
- Make sure the thumbnail of your pic is EXACTLY the one shown below. Don't make it green, don't flip it, don't change the text, don't do anything! That's meant to be the icon that'll Flood the Portal. You can change or remove it after 24 hours.
- For best results, you can put the thumbnail outside the main image or in the corner, or you could somehow work it into your image. It's up to you.
- No Everyone or Teen rated pics, you prude. Don't miscategorise, either!
- Even though Mature and Adult rated stuff also consists of violent and taboo subjects, only nudey pics will be eligible for the contest.
- Feel free to make as many pictures as you wish, so long as they're not shite.
- Don't upload it early, it's gotta be a FLOOD of pics on the MONDAY! If you can't do the submission time, then you can upload it afterwards (please note the contest deadline, however).
- If it's early, an art mod will delete it. Art mods are total dickholes.

Rules for Reviewers
- Review as many of the entries as you can/want.
- Here's some links that can help you provide encouraging and helpful feedback:

===============================
8===PRIZES=======3
2 Artists will win up to $20 worth of items from the NG store.
2 Reviewers will win up to $10 worth of items from the NG store.
All prizes exclude shipping (hooray)!
==========================================
==========================================

Winners will be chosen by me, since it's my store credit!
For the artists, I'm open minded to all sorts of illustrations, so I'll aim to give the prizes to the two pics that stand out for their originality, technical ability and content.
For the reviewers I'll be looking at their knack for constructive criticism, the number of reviews they make, and their ability to not come across as a total bell-end.

The Flood submission time is6:00PM EST (11:00PM GMT) on the 4th of June 2012.
The contest deadline is 11:59pm EST on the 6th of June 2012, although I recommend you aim for the Flood submission time!

Tag your pics MAAM so that they can be tracked down easily. If you're not scouted, you can post a link to your submission(s) in this thread.

Here's the thumbnail, good luck!

But I'm gonna hold it in 'til the redesign launches.

If you've qualified Round 1, come join in on Round 2 of the AVAT Art Tournament, over in the Art Forum.

The theme for the second round is MEDIEVAL,
but feel free to adapt the theme for your own purposes.

For more info, check out the thread.

Here's a vid of some thick thighed fitties* dancing.

* women may or may not be aesthetically pleasing to some viewers at various hours of day, sobriety or sexual desperation.

If you've signed up for it, GO GO GO!

Hello.

Just a reminder to the guys who signed up for the "Artist Vs. Artist - Art Forum" that there are 10 more days to go!

NOTE: NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE ANIMATION AVAT!

The theme for the first round is Robots - so it's a perfect chance to crap something out for the upcoming Robot Day Art Contest, as well.

Submit your entries to the submission thread, and/or upload to the Art Portal and tag it "AVAT".

Don't worry if you want to finish it off a bit more for Robot Day, just submit your progress to date in the art thread.

If you have a query, send a PM to the contest organiser SketchyEntertainment, since I have no hands.

Hello.

On the first Friday of every month, the art forum have a special event called "FLOOD THE PORTAL FRIDAY", okey dokey.

What's Flood the Portal Friday, you enquire?
The idea is to swamp the art portal with the same thumbnail, with pics based on the same theme, right at the same time. This is not a competition, it's just a bit of dumb fun.

If you're still unclear about what it's about, check out the previous months:
ftpf01 ftpf02 ftpf03 ftpf04 ftpf05
ftpf06 ftpf07 ftpf08

The Rules?
- Make sure the thumbnail of your pic is EXACTLY the one shown below. Don't make it blue, don't flip it, don't change the text, don't do anything! That's meant to be the icon that will Flood the Portal! You can change it later on or remove it, after 24 hours have gone.
- You can either work the thumbnail into the pic, or just dump the thumbnail in the corner, whatever you want.
- Feel free to make as many pictures as you wish, so long as they're not shite.
- Don't upload it early, it's gotta be a FLOOD of pics on the FRIDAY! If you can't do the submission time, then you shouldn't really join. Unless you fancy drawing something, of course.
- If it's early, an art mod will delete it. Art mods are lame.
- You are expected to give a decent review to the other submissions for this flood. We`re not gonna enforce this, but it`s good sportsmanship if you do.

...
===THE IMPORTANT STUFF===
The theme for the ninth flood is GODS.That's right, flipping GODS.
The theme can be as literal or loosely interpreted as you want, so long as you include the thumbnail.

Tag your submission(s) with "ftpf09", so we can look back at them in the future.

The ninth flood will begin on the 3RD OF JUNE AT 6PM NEWGROUNDS TIME, and the thumbnail can be downloaded here.

EDIT: whoops forgot pic.

... or I'll punch you in a dream.
