Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I didn't know Twitter needed verification now as well?

And about the Youtube thing. I don't think they keep their channel up to date seeing they're competition of each other. Maybe they just don't care. Maybe they're too busy. Maybe don't have a PR for social media.

SO MANY QUESTIONS

Is there actually anyone from the Ukraine in this thread? (if there even able to go online at this time...)

I'd love to hear an insiders voice on the matter. We can debate all we can on the matter, but we won't know any objective opinions until what is going on outside of press news.

But these are just my two cents..

Illustrator (despite it's name) is much better tuned as a designing and logo software, it's much more mechanical in how it works and what it can do.

I feel I can make way cooler logos in flash just because I'm more in tune with the program. Heh.

I know, but i am talking about the moment when you simply draw a stroke, illustrator curves it so much more than flash does in my experience, making it harder to get the lines that I wanted to achieve in a specific design.

Oh yah the math in Illustrator is more precise I've heard. So I guess it comes down to which program is more precise.

no real reason to pick between one or the other when they all have certain strengths.

Yeah but that's where I'm struggling. I'd love to use both. But it's just that everything that can be done in illustrator, I can pull off in Flash faster AND having more fun.
I see no reason to use illustrator for "it's strengths" because it doesn't seem to have any. The only reason I use Illustrator is for print and if I'm forced to use it for employers.

Could you elaborate on one of those tricks? ;)
I'd love to learn a new thing or two! A whole new world opened up to me when I saw JohnnyUtah use Flash like it was Illustrator. So I wonder if there's things I still don't know.

I practiced drawing with my tablet in flash for a bit before i found a more powerful drawing / vector based software.

You can edit every line you draw in Flash the same way you can in illustrator though...

I think that's one of the worst things people can tell us. I've had one employer that didn't even know you could get the Adobe packet on a PC.
When I told that person I had the programs at home on my PC she looked at me with a horrified look. I think she spent a lot of money on that Mac and those programs not knowing you could get it for cheaper.

Heh.

You're not even playing the Newgrounds version of The Impossible Quiz on your shitty channel? And yet you come here for our help? WELL HAVE I EVER!

THE NERVE!

EUGH

PFSH

Shows get turned into a parody all the time on youtube and newgrounds. What do you think?

The title says it all! What do YOU use?

My personal preference goes to Flash. I am well aware of how powerful illustrator is, but for some reason I am so used to Flash, I feel more free when drawing in it.
It also feels way better for freehand drawing. Most people use Photoshop for freehand drawing, but I enjoy working with vectors.

I'm not that experienced in Illustrator. I've had to use it in the past at some jobs and it seems really amazing, I just feel a bit limited to my knowledge of the program.
It also seems more of a program used for design and technical drawings than for free drawing.

My final argument lies with shading. Coloring and shading in flash feels more like Photoshop. If you'd use multiple shadings in illustrator, it feels like you have to "plan" it.

I don't know how big the vector scene is in this forum because I don't really come here a lot, just wanted to see what people think about this. They're pretty similar programs, each having their own special "abilities" and I feel weird for going out of the norm.

I feel like I've walked in on a big inside joke and I'm not in on it.

One of my favorite series for this is Nichijou, where it seems the animators had quite a bit of free reign. I'm not really into anime but the series kind of stuck with me after seeing scenes like this in particular.

Despite the amount of time it takes to make a scene like that compared to a typical scene, I like them far more. Thoughts?

Those two clips were one of the funniest anime scenes I've seen, in a while. I might have to start watching this show.

Hey guys! Cool to see how everything turned out!

I loved the worm medal! Really loved that one. Made my day!
Wish I drew some more stuff for this. It's a really fun idea.

Drawing only requires pen and paper. You don't even need to buy that shit, you can just go to a bar ask for a water and a pen. You can draw on the coasters.

I do it all the time, except I don't ask for water. That shit is gross.

beer motherfucker

Well there's your problem.

So there's finally ads for the MP4 portal? NEAT!

Seeing everyone is going mobile that seems like a bit of a must. I miss the cool preloader menus though. People got really creative with those.
Oh well.

I haven't checked out the submission page for the video ads, but I'll get into it when I get some free time to animate!

If I would hypothetically get a supporter thingy. Can I turn the ads back on? Or is it completely ad-less?

I hope you knew that I was just joking.

Also, have you considered the fact that you own Newgrounds (an "18+" website) which could have an influence on your ads?

I'm an amateur animator that doesn't charge anything and is just looking for some expierence.
You can look at my NG profile which will tell you that I'm very good at drawing boobs and dicks. Also I'm really slow and will never hit my deadline, but I'm a fun guy to skype with so that will totally compensate for my shitty work ethics.

PM me if you're interested

I'm surprised that wasn't the first reply. And that OP didn't even know about it. Swivel should be pretty well known on this site by now.

Gosh. Some people man.

Oh gosh guys! You people are the best!

Thanks everyone!

Yup! It's that time of the year again!

January 14th means that it is Damiens birthday! So everyone go to his news page and wish him a happy birthday and smother him with kisses and presents!

No where near the record of most users logged in. What a disappointment.

I'd just like to take a moment to thank the mastermind behind this fantastic idea; @Painbringer. We couldn't have done it without your enthusiasm to help us achieve such greatness.

I didn't even know this thread was a thing and until I got mentioned.

Also, I totally went and bought some Maui on January first when the first retail dispensaries opened here in Colorado.

It was some kill.

Man this whole Colorado thing is going to create a buttload of new stoners.

I didn't know there where different trees. I thought something was either a tree or not.

My girlfriend her favorite tree is a willow though. But I thought that was a character on Buffy The Vampire slayer.
