Hey man hang in there. It may feel like your stuff gets no love but I started on NG at your age (a lil younger) and people would actively hate on my stuff. But I kept at it. And things started to happen.
Nobody can keep you down. If you keep on it, you'll get there.
Sending nothing but love, keep on trying, man.

Point of advice if you feel like taking a swing at NG again.
The art portal is a little rough. Since there's no algorithm, the main 2 ways for people to see your art is when you first post and it's in "latest", or for someone to find your art via tagging (which almost will never happen if you aren't doing fanart)
This is rough, because you only have a brief period where people are likely to see your art when you first upload it.
The BEST way to get people to notice your art is by interacting a lot in the Newgrounds art forum (or just any of the forums in general). Comment on people's threads, react to people's posts, participate in events. Or hell, just comment and review on other people's artwork. Treat making NG fans as similar to making friends. NG is all about the community~ and participating in said community is your path to success on this site.
It also means you should be treating your fans and people who favorite your art as more important than followers on other platforms. Again~ treat them more like friends than followers. They're harder to make, but you likely share a bigger connection to them than you may think.
If that sounds tiring~ it's OK! Newgrounds isn't for everyone. Just remember that NG is more about being apart of the community than being a good artist.
