All nu-metal puns and lyric references will be italicized, just in case you're a POSER

Welcome to the Newgrounds Nu-metal art collab!

Hey, I'm Ewan. I'm a nu-metal junkie who draws. Right now, we'll draw nu-metal art together, for this collab celebrating its existence!


If you want a list of nu-metal bands, here.


"What the hell would this collab look like?"

The collab will be an interactive gallery showing the art everyone has done for this collab.


"I got nothin'."

Some ideas would be drawing the following...

  1. The band themselves
  2. Redraws of album covers
  3. Your OC or any other character as a parody of the band or a cover
  4. What a band's song would sound like


Anyway, here's the rules.

iu_1475986_10664017.webp

  1. No NSFW. This collab is rated T, no pornography. We know that all day you dream about sex, but not in this collab. Bikinis are allowed, if you're thinking about Around the Fur.
  2. Gore art is allowed, but do not make it gory enough to make people feel sick (right here) and cause the collab get an M rating (or A rated if it's violent pornography).
  3. No offensive material, even though some nu-metal bands are offensive as SHIT. It's best to not make art of Disturbed. Do I have to explain why?
  4. No AI. If you use AI, you look like one of those dancers from the Hanson video.
  5. Swearing is allowed. The only slur that will be allowed is "retard".
  6. No personal attacks.
  7. Scouted and unscouted artists are both allowed.
  8. The art can be in any quality, any size. Don't you dare purposely make the quality either shit or clog up my hard drive.


iu_1475987_10664017.webp

There are two jobs for this collab. You can do both if you like!


  1. ART - Make nu-metal art!
  2. AUDIO - Make instrumental nu-metal music!

HELL YEAH!! I'm definitely going to tap in on this. I also wouldnt mind doing art for album covers if any of the music submissions need one


Would be funnier if it was a "just metal collab", for different genres of metal... Well, I may draw something for it... It's not that I listen to nu metal.


I exist.

Pm me here I'm bored as fuck, also my discord: teh_snsqrs

Curious what counts as "draw what you think a nu metal song sounds like"! I've had tons of works before with Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit lyrics but I'm not quite sure if they fall under "this is what I think the song sounds like" cus they're all just bounded to images of my OCs


i.e.iu_1476696_9158175.webp


Either way, it'd be real damn funny if I signed up

y'know, i never was much of a nu-metal person... but i do like static-x, i remember being blown away by slipknot's iowa, and i actually think korn's path of totality is a fun listen at worst


with all that said a pastiche of nu-metal in my own style would be fun

Hell yeah! I have tons of works like this. Might bring it back in with a drawing based off of "Aerials" (and also ripping off gacha games. Again)

One last question tho, are we discriminating artwork based on songs from a Nu Metal band's era where they weren't Nu Metal (or: being hyper turbo sellout shills, if my reading of this audience is correct). i.e. drawings based off of any LP album after Minutes to Midnight? Probably not gonna be relevant for me rn, but I'm just curious.

Not really. This needs to be focused on the nu-metal genre, so you have to draw art of the band in their nu-metal era only.
