I strongly suggest a font change. While the typestyle you use is the same font that is standard in the Exile series, I don't know if it really helps the overall readability and aesthetic nature of the site. ESPECIALLY on the right side menu, let alone the top menu bars.

Also, align the 'News' box with the top of the main text box...that will make it look more organized.

Besides that it looks relatively clean and simple. A nice start for someone not to familiar with the coding process.

Haha yeah i used that font at the time cuz i didn't know what else to use, and since then my basics of form class at college has taught me to become a helvetica slave. Arial's got nothin on helvetica!!

But yeah, i'll deff mix it up, the arts not done btw for those saying luke and ray are out of place ;)

Ads must be completely visible and not covered by other elements in any way.

Also, the only bad part about being on the front page is that a bunch of noobs come and zero-bomb it.

Frontpage doesn't mean zerobomb, or at least, the 5bombs outrank the zerobombs and your score generally goes up.

also the girl who did the prettiest flash (imo), she's extremely used to photoshop. so much, that she's even used to not using the crappy paint bucket tool in PS that doesn't vectorize/blend the color in with the lines.

so she's been coloring in every single thing she's drawn by hand, without the paint bucket tool. i'd like to correct her, but every time i try to help her, she gives me this attitude that says "yeah i knew that, i just never used it. you disgust me." :(

LOL! Tell her she's a dumbass PLEASE! And here's why:

In photoshop, colouring everything in by hand takes forever, if you have lineart, you can use the magic wand, select everything, then you expand your selection by about 2-3 PX depending on how thick the lineart is, and THEN you use the paintbucket tool, it fills it in and you only have to touch up like a small bit. (This is provided the colouring is on a lower layer than the lineart... If that girl is colouring her shit on the same layer as the lineart, please slap her for me!

. . and if she's colouring her shit on a different layer in flash, slap her for me again XD She has things terribly backwards lmao

When i was 13 and just starting to learn flash, I met some guy who was proposing a similar thing to you, he wasn't picky with his animator, and i just wanted something to make without writing a script.

I can guarantee you that without money, nobody is going to help you in your current situation. Good animators like doing what they want to do, that's just how it works. You're going to want to find young animators that are committed to learning flash, and ask them to help you out,

If you come and visit as you said you would, if i catch you fappin to hentai boi imma beat you!. . . at thumb wrestling..

I wouldn't mind knowing how much that pays off either, however I could never stoop to that level even if it did bring publicity. I have this kinda mindset where yeah, if you make a bunch of hentai or shit like that you will get popular, and it wouldn't be hard. But you'd only be popular with that particular target audience. By making things like patchman for example, or even your duders, you could gain much more fans from a much bigger audience, and though it would take way longer to make and get popular, it would reap way more benefits in the end.

Plus, lets say adam phillips suddenly was like "k imma make some hentai", would that not definetily affect how many fans see him? Hmm... i guess this pretty much means i'm trying to maintain an image :/ ah well, i know i'm not the only one.

Anyways Patchman 3 is half done, its gonna be shorter though, I'm still uberbusy with school, and exile 4 gets lawtz of my time... also apparently i'll have some kind of game out in the near future...you heard it here first folks!

Patchman 3 = <3
Exile 4 = late >:(
Game = :O
Go finish those projects now :)

Man there is such a huge difference between patchman FBF and Exile FBF, no seriously!

Basically, patchman is very comically animated, to turn his head i can draw 3 frames and he'll whip around sorta thing, and it'll look normal. Exile deals with people that are more detailed, and im also working on having humanlike fluid animation, so i 3 frames to turn patchmans head, is like 12 frames for guy in exile to do the same.

Also exile 4.. it'll be out eventually, im waiting on half of the ray voices but it looks really pretty so far :D I can't provide a date however i can just say its out when its out :/ Christmas break hopefully i'll just motor it.

What do you think of something more of the lines of this ?
Although its more neat and less ruin-y I could deal with that.

As long as that 1 frame doesn't become shitloads of lag O.o

I think anime at that level (low) is more of an acceptance into some sort of community rather than actually being good at drawing. that's why those people are saying 'cute' instead of anything artistic related

On a completely unrelated note

I need to make a 5-6 minute short film for school

Does anybody have any random ideas that they can throw out, i mean even something simple like
"boy gets beaten up so he decides to train and beat the bully up"

it can be any genre except preferably not some "trying to be deep" movie where a dude dies and wakes up in a black and white field and discovers happiness or anything dumb like that :P

Watercolours

Today I used them for the first time, and I love it. It's the only real way I can colour a picture in without hating the end result. Problem is I've only got 6 colours including white D:

I love painting! Sorta, its weird i'm on and off with it, if i do something i like i'll keep making stuff till i dislike one, and thats all it takes and i'm off it for a few months. Plus i have no time really so i haven't painted since before summer :P

I would actually say acrylics have become my favorite form of painting, but i love watercolors too. ACTUALLY i discovered this REALLY EXPENSIVE acrylics called Golden Fluid Acrylics, they have watercolor properties so you can mix them with water, but not drown them. The results are absolutely astonishing!!!

Not so frequently used tools of Flash

I wanna say the soften fill edges tool, its good for doing edge-blurs rather than blurring MC's with the filters bar.

Cloud
Article

I've just been reading up on cloud networks on Wiki and various other articles and I'm interested. I see cloud networks as the way forward but I'm not sure that the OS is going to die that quickly, but things in computing change fast. Maybe in 10 years we'll all be using cloud networks, or maybe it's just another fad. Either way though it's going to be a big blow for the larger software industries but good news for indy developers. I mean if you make a killer app then all you need to do is get some small publicity and the rest will snowball, right, or maybe not?

What does everyone else think?

Check out the latest "rumors and shit" about Google Chrome (The operating system, not the browser)

They basically said that the current operating systems that exist were made before there were browsers to run on them, and that google's operating system will be fully intergrated with the web, i dont exactly know HOW, but google's always good for that sorta thing :P

I think i read something about how thats going to be more of a "netbook" kinda thing, both Azure and Google Chrome OS are from what i've read, very light based OS's to take on Linux in the netbook department. Other than that i think its going to be a normal Mac Vs Pc Vs partly Linux on the desktops with their bulky OS's.

But 2 OS wars now, sheesh!

Also did anybody see the new apple mouse?

Magic mouse

I personally think its going to take a little bit to get used to, but i may just pick one up at my local apple store, it looks really neat :P
