In my 3 years on Newgrounds. I have changed, improved, grown, and matured myself. On this site, I have basically made friends, an audience, and an Interest in art just because of newgrounds. And it's incredible that even after 27 years of it running, there are still artists who want to show their talent. I wouldn't call myself big, but I am thankful that I even had over 100 followers. It's such an amazing achievement that is still growing. In my opinion, if you wanna start off on the new ground. Just do what you want. Try to experiment. Do what you want to do for your artistic freedom. And be a part of the community. Make friends. Newgrounds isn't just an art posting site. It's also a community. A place filled with sub-communities Like the Madness series. You will never have you beg or try to get attention. Just put effort and try to improve experiments and change. But still do what you want. Love ya and see ya
