Is it okay if I post quick animations in the Art section of Newgrounds (not the Movie section, I’ve learned the hard way the audience there prefers content that is at least as long and as professional as an old Tom and Jerry short, which is fine)? Naturally, for the sake of getting a job, I will still have to work months on end on a single polished, portfolio-worthy project, but maybe in between I can quickly fulfill my primal urge to quickly draw a quick animation cycle of a dog-baseball-lawnmower mowing the lawn like back in my Flipnote Studio days as a teen?

Posting more often would certainly be good for the “algorithm” that will hopefully make employers more likely to see my more polished stuff, and the fact of the matter is that, like most artists, I don’t want to just make “marketable” and trend-following stuff all the time, sometimes I just want to make something quick and weird with complete disregard as to whether it fits the “Disney” or “Dreamworks” style.

This will also mean I will be drawing 2D animations more, as I’m not Beeple and 3D animation and rigging takes too much time and mathematical prowess for experimental, almost-daily posts. Some people may be happy with more 2D frame-by-frame stuff in 2021...
