Here's a case specific question in case this is still answered.
I have two really good looking digialy colored works done by a collaboration of a digitally coloring friend and my pencil line art. Those two pieces look great but are disproportionately better then anything else in my gallery and nothing like them can be made anytime soon as my friend did the really hard coloring part.
Should I take them down for consistancy's sake or leave them since my line art and styling may be visible in them?

I would leave them up. They arent that drastic of a change from your usual fare, and you credit the other artist so there isnt really anything wrong with them that would warrant a removal.
Thanks for answering my earlier question of weather or not to remove disproportionately good collaborations.
Do you think my pencil (and rarely digital) art is close to scoutable range? The last time I was scouted was probably for sentimental reasons from a friend when he saw a romantic drawing done of his wife's characters together. I enjoyed lots of exposure until I overestimated an Easter robot drawing and got pruned.
great advice! iam not asking to be scouted but can someone give me feedback on my art at least? bare in mind i use a mouse not a tablet :/
I would recommend making a thread showcasing your stuff in the art forum. You will definitely get the desired feedback there.
Hey this is kind of lame, but its been like 4 months and I've had more than 4 posts and I haven't gotten anything. I don't think my stuffs that shitty can you look at it and judge for your self?
this is really helpful!
i've been looking for a straight forward answer on how to get scouted.
Apparantly, I just got scouted. As awesome as that sounds and is, it also makes me kind of nervous, I guess. I am new to digital drawing and new to Newgrounds and I want to keep improving myself and the art I create, however, there is one thing that I am not entirely sure of.
The person who scouted me clearly thought I was good enough to be scouted, and the original poster says that in his/her opinion it's recommended to delete the bad stuff. But the thing is... When is something considered 'bad'? I personally don't believe in good or bad stuff as there is always room for improvement. To me, that's something that kind of contradicts to the above [no offense] and I also believe it's a matter of taste as well, so how does that work? How can I reassure myself that the art I create IS good enough?
Hope I'm making sense, haha!
Typically "Delete the bad stuff" was in reference to people who are having trouble getting or staying scouted. Once you are established and stable, deciding what is bad is really up to you. If you have improved and look back on your old work and can honestly say "man, these just really aren't that good and I would rather not have them on my page" then you can probably delete them.
Or if you start submitting work that you feel isn't quite as good as the stuff you had already up at the time you were scouted, maybe hold off on submitting everything till its at a quality you actually like.

It looks like you were scouted by someone, but then unscouted before you noticed the message.
I see...
Thank you for this! I was very confused on the term "scouted." Could you guys check my work and just see if you enjoy it? (NOT ASKING TO BE SCOUTED!!)
Also can you get scouted for animation, games, audio, etc? Or can you just get scouted for art?
Scouting is limited to Audio and Art only. Animation and games go on the old Save/Blam system where after a certain number of votes your work will be permanently kept or deleted depending on its score.
Quick! Tell me something to say!.....
Too late... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
i'm growing, don't judge pl0x.
Thank you. I was very confused how this "scouting" worked since I'm new here.
Can you get scouted if you have 4 things audio portal, and not the art portal?
Well, I Nedd to be scouted!
Are there any tips for avoiding getting unscouted? I've seen traditional colored pencil artwork of a relatively lower level then mine in the portal do just fine... while mine didn't.
My guess is the main difference is that they used thumbnails that zoom in close to one part of the picture which my draw less attention from M-Bot.
I know quality control is nothing personal, but I kept my work at a high enough quality level to get above 3/5 scores. It feels like I am unlucky, especially campaird to the earlier mentioned pencil artist.
How do you know if something is so bad that you might get unscouted? Do you get unscouted for a single bad upload? Or if you have multiple that drop below a specific rating? I draw a lot, but I don't upload that much because I don't want it to cause me to get unscouted. If I knew where the line for not good enough work goes, it would help a lot. Thanks
You would have to have been on the border of being unscouted already for one piece to do you in. Generally if it looks like your work is getting worse you would have to submit a few new pieces of low quality to get pruned. If you just submit a dud here or there you should be safe. When in doubt you can always just submit it to your userpage instead of the portal, that way it stays in your profile but doesnt really count towards your overall quality.
I don't understand! I want to scout lunacyofficial's art! But it's not working!
You need to be scouted first yourself before you can scout others.
thanks for the infos i'm since member 2008 and was for a long time way... but now i'm back on this site with some new songs.. i will wait for scouted :)

It seems that the people trying to scout you were prunned before you were able to accept their request.

The wait to be scouted is real!!
Being unscouted is quite boring. It feels like sitting in the corner all by yourself.
