Not even a little.

I invoke the rule of unfunny and poorly conceived MS Paint art.

They print your t-shirt designs and sell them for you.

Threadless sucks. Market and print your own shirts and retain the rights to your art.

Looks like you don't have a scanner either.

The shading is what makes the piece really stand out. The structure of the face isn't the best, his ear seems to be much lower, smaller and more slanted than it should be. I like it overall though.

Not the fucking advice club. This is art. ART! Post your sob story in general or the Relationship Crew. We don't need this here.

As for the art; it's bad, you need to improve in all areas. Try carrying a sketchbook around with you and draw things or people you find interesting. Take an art class.

This topic is spam, wave goodbye to it.

Definitely needs improvement in all areas, if the title screen is anything to go by. Unless you have really great writing/printing don't use it, use a font instead.

You didn't really show much, so I can't comment on your animating abilities, the art on the title page is mediocre, passable ibut not memorable or very good.

I think the loop of the red scratches is pretty unnecessary and looks bad just appearing and fading. The changing blur levels on the characters head is pointless, keep it static.

Okay start, needs improvement.

Liveswif is free, it probably sucks but I've never used it.

Low(er) cost ones include:

KoolMoves-$49 (Free trial available)
SoThink-$79.99 (Free trial available)
Moho 5.31-$99 (Free trial available)
SWiSHmax 1.0-$99.95 (Free trial available)

Adobe (or Macromedia) Flash is the way to go if you're serious about Flash. Get the trial to see if you actually like it and would use it regularly, then buy.

Check eBay or similar sites to see if you can find a used or outdated version and save a lot of money.

Nah, don't start threads with shitty MS Paint pictures...
actually, don't start threads with a shitty picture regardless of the program.

We have rules and standards here.

In the likely case that you can't figure it out with the link I've given, here it is in bold:

- MS Paint drawings had better be funny and well thought out or else may be removed.

please enlighten me.

The things that the average teen flashmaker would be into: iPods/MP3 players, video games and video game systems, web hosting, computer software, computer games, computer accessories, acne cream, Dungeons & Dragons manuals, lead Warhammer 40k figurines, Magic: the Gathering cards, the Fleshlight, porn, a mini fridge with sugary energy drinks in it. Stuff they can USE.

Read that.

^^ Read this guys post.

Wonderful robot. I'm sure the coloring will make it even better.

Reminder to those that post here, trolling/flaming will not be tolerated in this thread, you will be banned. It might take me awhile because I don't spend my whole day on-line but I'm going to make sure that this thread remains positive from this post onward.

Have a nice existence. =]

Use your talents to create something meaningful, not belittle others.

The design doesn't really appeal to me and I think the color of a light blue shirt is all wrong. The splotchy, drippy paint stuff is, in my opinion, really worn out in design today. I can appreciate all the effort that went into your design, it's just not my thing, I suppose.

Are you guys ever capable of having a reasonable debate? Seriously, the flame wars have to stop. Just because this forum is under-moderated doesn't give you the right to act like children.

That's what basically the WHOLE Flash forum is about.

Or, should be about.

Kinda... but there are a lot more threads on AS and collabs then there are about animation. But yes, this thread is redundant. If you make a cool discovery about animating with Flash, I think you could share it with it's own thread and maybe throw a link to Animation MAIN.

Wow, would you mind posting with your main account? Because this alt is pretty lame.

Regardless, you don't have a batting average, which is required to have before starting any collaboration in this forum, and your batting average must be 3.00+

Read this ancient document for all of the (current) rules regarding collaborations.

Writing about your musical taste is interesting, reading other people writing about theirs is boring.

You're also pretty arrogant, I gather. This would have been shut down already if I had seen it earlier. Do not lead two collabs at once. Do not expect to be able to start a new collab here if your last one failed. Finish what you're working on, make sure it comes to a successful conclusion, then, if you want to, you can start a new collab.

Something like Cursor Thief or even possibly better Cursor Thief. =]

1- Yeah, I remember that thread in general. I have to say your computer art has improved.
2- Wall of text is eww. =_=
3- You don't have to say "I only used Flash" on every picture you post.
4- Holy crap tit city. =O

Indeed. Four times within 15 posts... sounds like a case of raging picture spam to me.

Go back to the Politics forum or whatever cesspool you slithered out from.

Zekey = truth.

rules It's about the MS Paint one there. I realize that you do have another, not-done-in-MS Paint picture, but I can't let you start a thread with a really shitty MS Paint picture. If you know it's crap then don't fucking post it.

If you don't like the GIMP you could try out Paint.net also free of charge.

..::collabs::..

Doesn't anyone remember the summer of 05? Before the collab rules? It was bedlam, absolute chaos with collabs everywhere, collabs by everyone.

There needed to be action and action was taken, and it worked. It worked well. Today it does not work thanks to the forgiving nature of the change to the way BA's are calculated.

Collabs are once again a real problem, a little more controlled than it was, but still annoying and in the way of real issues.

I think a collab forum might be a solution, people who are eager to join something would have a place to go, others who want to start collabs would do so out of the way of this forum. It would be good, it would require new mods who are willing to stay up with 100+ page threads of mostly spam, excitement and in-collab fighting.

I think, that before a new forum is introduced, there needs to be better rules about starting collabs. 3.0+ BA just doesn't work anymore. Maybe collabs, all of them, should have to be approved by someone, some mods or a panel of judges that will decide what collabs can go on and which ones need to be thrown away. It might seem harsh, but so many collabs are doomed to fail and leave the people who made an effort and did something good for it just hanging there holding their dicks.

Just a thought.

Wow, I just read that news post. Tom seems really gung-ho about adding more themed days. I'm in the same boat as Rudy, if there are too many days people will always be focusing on winning contests and celebrating whatever day it is and not really pursuing new creative avenues, and other stuff that gets released on a specific day will be totally over shadowed by all the Flash tributes and shit. Additionally new/casual users won't really know what's going on. Oh well, Newgrounds is evolving, if Tom wants a site where there are tribute days every month, that's what will happen.

Holy crap, how old are you? Your profile, obviously, isn't true. You sure you're allowed to have an account on NG? (13+)

MS Paint is a challenge. It's fun to limit yourself artistically. Most of my Photoshop stuff is done with few colors or black and white, not using erasers, no undo's, using only one brush or one layer, mix and match any of those... Sometimes boundaries allow you to express yourself better. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
