It's already been suggested but what you need to do is send an e-mail to: wade@newgrounds.com

In the subject space put: Newgrounds Help

And tell him that your movie was unfairly flagged. I believe that all movies that have been flagged will be deleted after a certain amount of time if the author does not attempt to contact Wade.

I just wan't to finish one god damn piece! But when I start working, I suddenly get this mix of anger and impatience, and I cannot get rid of it.

That seems to be a pretty common problem, one that I am also struggling with. It's extremely frustrating...

I don't know of any easy solution, personally I go through cycles of high motivation and productivity and then long lulls of useless inactivity. If something remains unfinished when my motivation runs out it often sits and rots...

Forcing yourself to work on something will probably cause the quality of the piece to suffer (it does with me), but if you have to get it done I would suggest eliminating other distrations (TV, computer games, irritating family members/roomates, etc) and play some music that gets you in the proper frame of mind.

Whoa, that is one awesome flying, metal, whale, airship thing. Amazing.

Is your picture scanned or drawn on your computer?

and how many people are left doing this collab?

I'd like to still be doing it, but I'm not sure if I can hit the deadline at this point.... I'm going to see what I can get done tonight.

Nice drawing, I always enjoy your use of colours. Micron eh? What's a micron? I just looked it up, the only thing I could find related to art was a train modelling site...

Very nice sketch. The coloring really is great, and the proportions look perfect to me.

AGH, a Micron is a fine tipped pen used for illustration and drafting and such, they come in several pretty colors and line widths.

Sorry, it wouldn't survive judgement on it's own, but it might make for a fun pre-loader. ;)

Oh, and holding down the Tab key is a cheat that you might want to work out before you make a highscore feature for it.

Shit like that makes me not want to submit anything anywhere, I just hate that I have to explain every little thing every fucking time I want to submit something or even do a digital drawing thread. End of rant.

Well, then the people at Retrograde don't know dick about dick. If you stop submitting to the NG BBS I will be rather sad... Whenever I see one of your flash constructed pics it make life that much more tolerable.

(Life without an AGH pic= pretty boring)

Oh, thank god...I've been super busy and I haven't been able to get anything done these past few days... :/

I would suggest rather than having it in many layers or a single movie clip, putting everything into a graphic. That way it would be easier to find the best place to match it with the music. It's what I was planning to do anyway (unless someone tells me different).

And probably include your name or an abriviation on the graphic name to avoid same name graphics.

How long did it take for you to do that?

Good question.
Let's see here, I started it on Sunday night... 6-8 hours total..? Maybe less.

I should start a logbook, I'm terrible at estimating this kind of stuff and possibly the most forgetful person I know.

Oh, and thanks Greedom! I'll be sure to post a link when it's finished. :)

Green Blob again

That looks awesome! Can't wait to see more! :D

Green Blob

Thanks

It looks quite nice, the animation is really smooth.

All I can say it that adding bright highlights to it might make it appear more liquid.

I've also noticed that (I think) having a color in the background as opposed to plain white (and maybe a shadow with that) seems to add a lot to the visual appeal.

I think I'm going to do that with the beginning of mine...

Anyway, good job, keep it up!

This was nothing speicial, but I like it.

Comments and what not.

Kickass, I like that a lot.

I've been playing with some fbf for one of the oodles of collaborations that pop up all the time:

It's unfinished obviously. Any comments/criticisms about it so far?

You can't really mutate it to your desire. Unless you just want plain text. Then just use the text button.

Retracing the text isn't necessary if you want to animate it. Use the break apart command on your static text twice to get it to its base level (which is the same a drawing with the brush tool).

Is he going to be used in an animation?

Anyway I like it. I think if you added some highlights to the metal parts of his outfit, his weapon, and some glints of light on the gold parts of his shield it might bring more depth to the picture. Good job so far though! :)

You mean the camera used for Prowlies at the River?

If your pic is any indication this will be a great collab! ^_^

Thanks, I've been having a lot of free time lately. ^_^

I'm curious to see what kinds of things other people are doing...

Oooooo... pushed all the way down to the 5th page. :O

I hope this is still happening.

Moderate progress...

Most of us try to be helpful, just don't act like an idiot and you'll be fine. :)

Sorry one of the links was messed up.

Thank you so much, that really means a lot coming from you! ^_^

Alright, here's some art:

Sorry for the double post.

Hope that works (it does for me). I should have put the whole thing in the forst post but I was being kind of hasty and didn't have flash open to check the code to make sure I had everything right.

Good luck. :)

Remember to put the scene name in quotations:
