Should be the PSA for Newgrounds
I can't believe how some people put such effortless and pointless...and somehow really offensive flashes and have a whole bunch of their higher ranking friends imput their 5's so that it passes judgement.
This is a message to all moody submitters of newgrounds.
I used to be a assistant Graphic Artist...and one rule of thumb that I learned from my Mentor was...
"Since we're submitting work that represents who we are...representing our sense of intelligence and design...by submitting Crap! It shows that we're worth Crap."
But...
"Submitting good work...shows that we are good!"
Basically it shows what people will think of you by what sort of work you submit.
And even if you're aren't the best animator...you shouldn't expect sooo much and get all moody just cause your work gets bad reviews or even get's blamed.
Don't forget...this is a flash/music/game website...not everyone can be a any of those three.
You can take your time before submitting anything!
If you know you can do better...you should wait until you're skillful enough before "Showing your stuff".
After all...not everyone can get good at something overnight.
You can in the meantime make your influence by creating constructive, and positive critiques.
But don't forget artist...I once had my art shut down by professionals...totally dissed at!
And for once...I was very depressed because I was insulted by many people.
Then my teacher told me...
Being an graphic artist means that WE are here to serve the public. That means we are trying to create art for others...and your TRYING to get good reviews.
If your simply looking for a creative outlet...and you know it probably won't be popular on Newgrounds...don't get all moody just cause people insult your work.
Omenator made a strong point to his flash with very strong language...It may sound mean but that's just cause he is highly motivated to express options.
So remember...if your going to submit crap...(on purpose) people will dislike it and you will get bad reviews and the flash could possibly get blammed. So don't get all moody or say "F**k You".
"He who starts every day all depressed and grumpy...will find his life to be forever bumpy".
*this is a very long review...but once I get started writing sometimes I can't stop.
Omenator made a good point in his flash.
Good job.
