I'm gonna upload more art here as well as pieces I did a while ago.
Is there a way to organise a gallery to place art in different order or something? I have some big pieces I want more visibility than others, and some that are sketches dumps.
Thanks!
I guess you could make playlists and shift the pod for those to the very top of your profile?
you can make a playlist with art? cool!
@ShiraCartoonz art threads are an common way to document your art stuff in the art forums they're a great way to get more people to look at your art and also give you some critique. To make one go to the art section in the art forum. In the upper Right next to rules there's a icon with a plus press it to start your art thread and go hogwild. Let me know if you have any questions
aaaah forums..... I like the idea, really, but the average person who visits an art page doesn't want to click much and explore how to find the art in order to see it... I guess this art thread would be only for people who know how to use Newgrounds I guess.
I honestly hope in the future that we get a way to organise a gallery with folders or tabs inside it, just like deviantart did, that'd be a huge thing!
@ShiraCartoonz yeah I know not the most practical way to get non artists interested. Good way to connect with other artists but yeah we have very limited gallery stuff
love your honesty, yeah, we'll see maybe in the future! Thanks for your help =)
@ShiraCartoonz of course dude always happy to help. And yep let's hope for the future
@ShiraCartoonz Yeah, it's almost like DA's folder gimmick but it can include stuff from all four portals. If I remember correctly, there's an autoplay feature exclusively for movies and audio. See here:

how do you add art to a playlist?
@ShiraCartoonz Oh, so there should be an icon that looks like a little rectangular playbutton on every submission you see, including your own.

Once you click on it, you'll be given a pop-up that looks like this. Just add the title to your new playlist, then click submit.

Once it's done, you can add other submissions to the same playlist by selecting the same icon again and then choosing 'Select Playlist' in the same pop-up window. Choose your playlist, then click submit.

The art/audio/movies/games you've added to it should be viewable via your profile.

You can rearrange the order of stuff or remove stuff in your playlist by clicking on the little red pencil icon you see while you view it. Be warned, tho, the page for doing that hasn't been updated to accommodate mobile yet (it still uses the old layout, hehe) so if you want arrange stuff, you should probably do it on a laptop like a normal person.
I hope this helps.
Oaaaaaah, thanks for this nicely detailed tutorial!
I made a playlist! I wish in the future we get to see the playlist's thumbnail or something, it doesn't look very appealing lol
@ShiraCartoonz Not a bad idea. If it's ever implemented, it'll give me a reason to finally add a thumbnail on all the playlists I've made instead of just leaving the default one there, lmao.

For sketches you can perhaps make an art thread showcasing your sketches and unfinished work, and post your finished pieces in the art portal. That's one way to do it

what's an art thread and how to I create it?
thanks!
