Actually the FAQ's "submitting art" section should link to thís post. Or they should add it to the FAQ. Or they should delete the whole section and let you rewrite it. :P
Or people should at least read the FAQ to avoid the same questions over and over again, but that's another issue....
But honestly, great guide with helpful information and indeed very handy when it comes to people asking to be scouted. Thank you!
Plenty welcome, it would be kind of neat to have all this info in the FAQ now wouldn't it.
Very interesting system, i think this whole scouting business is why i like Newgrounds so much more than DeviantArt these days.
Cheers for the info :)
Quality control for the win.
Thanks on that..so three months have passed...It can't take much longer...
Like it says in the guide, keep submitting new work and replace the old stuff, because obviously what you currently have isn't working.
You have no right to be located in various degrees of sanity when you believe there is such a thing as a personal universal sense of quality or shit art. *Replaces your top hat with a dunce hat*
Trust me, if the art portal were controlled by my personal preference of art, it would be a fairly empty exclusive place.
I really like the part about choosing your scouts, I didn't and look what happened to me...
Yep very important to trace your prospective tree up a few branches to see how stable its foundation is.
Your name is just like Oney but with R's
You mean his name is just like mine minus the R's
Thanks for the help, this really cleared up my questions. :)
Any time
This system is unfair! I haven't even been checked out yet! Every OTHER artist and even artists who don't deserve scouting have been scouted! Why not me? I spend tons and tons of hours on my art just to impress you guys, and what thanks do I get? NONE! I want to be scouted really really badly.
For starters you don't know whether or not people have seen your stuff, so don't assume that its just because you haven't been spotted. If you have more than 4 pieces and regularly make new work to replace your old then I can almost guarantee that people have noticed you and simply chosen not to scout you. This means that maybe you need to change your style, or try something different. Or improve instead of doing the same generic anime that you seem to be cranking out.
Check out my art?
Its getting there, still needs some refining though.
But art DOESN'T appear in the portal unless you've been scouted by at least one user.Send me a PM if you reply.
And I hope you aren't REALLY ornery.
Correct, and it only takes one user to scout you, since you can only be scouted by one user. Which is why its important to pick the best one who offered so that they don't get clipped and you fall with them.
Thanks that guide is helping me not having lots of piles of shit for art . Thanks Alot:)
WOW this is a great guide! But what happens if I didn't press the public thingy? I didn't press it for most of my work because I thought people would still be able to see it and will have a chance to criticise it. Is there a way to change my work so they can be ticked public again? Even thought they've already been submitted?
People can still see your work even if its not marked public. To mark it public go to the piece and edit it (next to the rating) there should be the option to mark it public. if that doesnt work you can PM a mod to do it for you.
I just got Unscouted for some reason do you know why
Probably because whoever scouted you was also pruned.
Thanks for the tips. I hope to eventually get scouted some day.
Keep using the advice in the guide and you just might.
How long do you have to wait till you get scouted?
Someone obviously didnt read the guide...
Zombie Eskimo Was the Dude Who Scouted Me Awkward Enough Right After I Got Scouted I got Unscouted And I Didnt Even Do anything
Did you read the guide. You can get scouted, but if a mod sees your work and decides its not good enough you will be pruned.
Hot damn thats good advice! Thank you, i guess i only have ONE good art piece, going to delete the sucky work i have there and make good art, thanks man!
Good lad
Thanks for clearing up the issue. I would have never known about the pruning thingie if I hadn't googled 'newgrounds scout artist' XP
I guess I'll have to be careful if I get any scouts :P
You only have to be careful of who scouts you. if you scout bad people you will still be scouted and can post art, you just wont be able to scout anymore.
something wierd happend to me
i got a portal invite to be scouted by a user so i got a message from the M-bot thing and it said "do you want to be scouted yes or no" i clicked yes but then that angry smiley came up and said "Errors: Bad parent ID: no such member"
so i have no idea what to do
Chances are the person who attempted to scout you was pruned before you were able to accept.

I lost my "Scout-hood" Due to the portal error :'(
ornery
Thats unfortunate, keep submitting work and you might get rescouted.
