@TomFulp Art portal and audio portal in the morning, great to know. There’s just one more thing from your morning routine we need to know: what do you eat for breakfast?
@Luwano Three over easy eggs with sauteed spinach and kimchi.
@TomFulp Thanks I can now successfully plan my quest for the frontpage.
If you are looking for guyver art, Dave Rapoza is obsessed with it (he even has a life-sized bust)
I think that's actually how I stumbled into his art, lol
@TomFulp thank you for the tips. now i will Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after our work is never over
yo im just curious look at my new art do you think it's at like the level where it could possibly be frontpaged or should i improve it more

The answer is: you should always work work to improve your art and develop your skills. The level you’re currently at should never be satisfactory for you, no matter how good you are at drawing.
That being said; build your understanding of the fundamentals of art and apply what you’ve learned in your studies to your finished pieces. Good places to start are perspective, and composition, as these can be learned and grasped through doing simple but tedious studies, and/or reading theory.
Another good place to start are the Gestalt Principles of art. Utilizing those principles in informed ways will help to add fullness to your work and give you more solid direction in ‘why’ illustrators draw certain things the way they do.
For further help, and direction, and differing opinions on what you can improve on, make a thread in the art forum, it’s a lot better for this kind of stuff than newspost comments.
If I could guess about the NG Time...
5:00 am = 2:00 am
8:00 am = 5:00 am in PST time
So that means that I have to wake up VERY early in the morning
if I want my work to be frontpaged.
...damn
But jokes aside, I really shouldn't shackle myself into exhaustion and
burnout, right?
No, you should not shackle yourself into exhaustion and burnout.
@SourCherryJack Right, thanks for the advice bro. But I also have a question, is 9:00 - 12:00 am acceptable?
9:00 = 6:00 am
12:00 = 9:00 am
Yeah, that’s fine
Quite a helpful read! A lot of my suspicions were confirmed about things like "ideal posting times" and stuff like that. I remember looking through a bunch of FrontPage art trying to find a through-line and that really helped. That was a while ago though.
I used to assume it was all just picked by the moderators until I found out about the FrontPage thread recently, which has been very helpful in finding new and inspiring artwork. Especially in recommending my own picks. Most of which have actually made the cut!

@LegolaSS I feel discriminated, too.
